The vehicle intermittently would not engage gears, was experiencing difficulty shifting. Vehicle was towed to mechanic, fred drake auto whom installed new clutch and master cylinder. A week later, vehicle showed identical symptoms and became stranded on the highway. A burning order coming from engine, shifter would not engage gears. Vehicle while in gear, peddle dropped to floor and would not release. Vehicle was towed to ig burton, diagnosed complete failure of the clutch system.
No oil light on, no engine light, and it stalled. There is a problem with oil consumption with the 2.4 engine. My car died after backing out of my driveway and starting a turn. Y car stalled out twice in the middle of intersections very dangerous. Battery light came on, music continued, but enginge just died. The steering wheel froze (no more power steering), and I couldn't press my brake down, it just sat there in the road. I checked the level of my oil and it doesn't even cover the curved part of the dipstick, that's how low it is.the car stalled out again, a few months after the oil change. The car is not indicating when it needs oil, and is shutting itself off so it doesn't over heat while driving at speeds 70mph+ and in the middle of intersections while turning.
My car is randomly stopping when I press the brakes. My check engine light has come on and had the car looked at by a mechanic and he says it has something to do with the PCM.
I have been experiencing pretty much every recall that is on the list number one it started with my car check engine light coming on. And the codes that kept on coming up or for the plugs and coils. I would replace them and they would just go bad again in like a week it is causing my car to do what seems like it's misfiring. My tire light is stuck on when the tires are fine. The speed control stops working on and off. When I steer there's a loud clicking noise. Whenever I try to shift here lately sometimes it won't go into gear. When I turn on the ac it will cause the car to misfire and the only way to make it stop is to turn off the ac and restart the car sometimes three to four times before it stops messing up.today the scariest thing of all happened I was pulling out of bronze and white smoke billowed out of the car tailpipes I'm not sure why. The car is also sporadically not going in gear when I am on the highway making me worry that me and my five kids are in danger due to someone raikkonen to me because my car will not go up to speed and will not shift into the right gear and misfires and will not go over like 30 miles per hour and putz. I replace parts and it seems to work well for a week or two but my car is not on the recall list they say that every single thing that is on the recall list is happening to my car. I don't know what to do about all of this I honestly you just think that Dart needs to take the car back.. like recall it completely. This car has been nothing but trouble after the first year of driving it.

Master clutch cylinder / clutch / cvc delete valve complete failure, causing vehicle while in operation to get stuck into gear and clutch to drop to floor. Premature clutch fail due to the cvc delete valve and plastic material used in master cylinder, the cvc delete valve impacts hydraulic pressure of clutch causing a huge safety issue while operating vehicle and driver becomes stranded. The clutch, due to the manufacturing of the plastic fitting disengages making shifting not possible for driver.

Car engine tends to idle fast in park and engine light reading fuel cap. I have had the car checked and purchased fuel cap but inspection is reading as fuel line problem.
While driving at various speeds, but mainly at lower speeds and while at a stop, the engine will stall and all power is lost to steering and brakes while several warning lights then appear on the dashboard - I have read on chat rooms of hundreds of these occurrences, and most seem to pint to a low oil condition that does not first light the oil light on the dashboard, but some indicate other electrical issues.

On 10/24/19 while driving on highway the vehicle began to smoke and lose power.

Leading up the this earlier in the week the vehicle would stall while at stop signs and lights feeling like it was going to die. Car was towed to my house then on 10/25/19 vehicle was towed to Dodge dealer where it is currently still at.
My 2015 Dodge Dart has started to overheat while sitting in light to heavy traffic going through several stop lights after driving 30 minutes non stop. I did have the recall done on it for the thermostat when it came out. I have my car serviced and everything changed like your suppose to so why is my car overheated but when I take off it cools down? this has happened twice now!!
The contact owns a 2015 Dodge Dart. While operating the vehicle, the check engine indicator suddenly illuminated, which meant that the engine overheated. The contact discovered that there was no coolant in the coolant reservoir. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic who diagnosed that coolant was leaking from the thermostat. The thermostat was replaced and the failure was remedied. The manufacturer and dealer were not notified of the failure. The failure mileage was 33,000.
The 2015 Dodge Dart was purchased in September of 2018 with 35,000 miles on it. It has been regularly maintained had hasn't had any issues until November 9, 2019. The car was started that morning and idled approximately 2-3 minutes, it drove about 60 feet and stalled, power steering and brakes where lost. The battery light was illuminated on the dash board. When trying to restart it struggled, but eventually turned over. It then drove fine. Once at home I research the issue and found multiple reports like mine of engines stalling due to excessive oil consumption.
The car is using oil and will completely die while driving. When it becomes empty if I come to a stop it will completely die and I lose all power steering and the car struggles to turn back on. Dodge is aware of this issue on so many Darts and nothing is being fixed. This engine needs to be recalled! twice between oil changes this last time I have been completely empty. This has happened since the very beginning that I had the car.
Suspension is too easily adjusted. The littlest bump will throw out alignment and have the receipts to prove. Wheels bend easily, specifically 18 inch rims. Engine used too much oil and leaves your car to shut off automatically which is added as the issue is know to happen. I am 2,500 miles away from an oil change and I need to add oil because the car uses so much. The issue is know by Dodge and online thousands of people know about it.
The car will randomly die while driving. While performing a turn and the car dies it locks the steering and no use of brakes. Now the vehicle will not start at all. Alternator, battery and starter have been replaced and still nothing. This has happened multiple times. It has always eventually started up until recently.
My car cut off twice this morning, and almost didn't crank back up. Then my check engine light came on, so I took it by O'reilly to get the engine tested. It showed that my throttle actuator control was bad. Prior to this it seemed like sometimes when I tried to change gears that it was sticking or something. It was almost as if it was switching gears properly. To top it off, I've had to replace all of my tires once, and a couple of them twice. Now today it appears I'll have to replace the back two a third time. This is absolutely ridiculous!!! I've been wondering if they just didn't let me know that the tires they were putting on were bad tires, possibly recall tires. I'm wondering because I've replaced tires way too many times, and one of the last times I went they told me they no longer had the type of tires that were on my car, because they decided to stop buying that brand. When I asked why, he fumbled around that and told me the place they (dealership) got them from (pep boys) no longer used those complaints.
