The contact owns a 2015 Dodge Dart. The contact stated that the vehicle stalled periodically while driving various speeds without warning. The contact pulled over, restarted the vehicle, and it resumed normal operation. Recently, while attempting to place the vehicle into park, it continued to move without warning as if it were in neutral. The contact had to apply the emergency brake to stop the vehicle. The key would not eject from the ignition because the engine was still in neutral; however, the contact was ultimately able to drive the vehicle home. The vehicle was included in NHTSA campaign number: 19V293000 (power train), but the contact was unaware of this prior to the failure. The dealer and manufacturer were not notified. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The failure mileage was unknown.

I received recall V34 notice 5/25/19. It says there is a problem with the transmission linkage. It warns you about getting out of the car when it still is in drive, but doesn't tell you how to turn the car off if the linkage fails in drive or reverse. The notice says engage the parking brake, but you still can't turn the engine off. I called the dealer and they tried and couldn't figure it out. I called the Chrysler 1-800-853-1403 number and they were no help!!!!! they keep saying just turn the key off. I explained it was a push button start and they had never heard of it!!!!!! consumer was told parts will be available next month.

Upon driving a few months after getting this vehicle I noticed it was burning oil rather fluently. When turning corners while driving it would shut of and I'd have to wait about ten minutes and it withhold turn on like nothing happened. After adding more oil it would operate a bit better. Then the throttle system kicked out. I was driving on the highway and began to lose speed. I pulled over for safety and turned the car off. After restarting it I learned the throttle body system was bad. I initially didn't know what it was until after researching the vehicle and it's functions...I cannot get speed going up hill and cannot reach does if more than 40-45mph.

Car has issue shifting between neutral and gears while driving. While in drive and acceleration is added car stalls and will occasionally burn clutch shifting between gears as if in neutral. If any acceleration is added car will rev as if in neutral. This happens at all speeds 20-30% of the time and appears to be getting worse. When braking to a stop the clutch burns 20-30% of the time when down shifting and fills cab with smoke. At complete stop entered drive and let off of brake. Engine accelerated to 3K RPM's then grinded gears trying to automatically shift into the appropriate gear. After grinding abruptly grabbed gear and functioned again. Acceleration from complete stop, car stalls before finding gear.

The contact owns a 2015 Dodge Dart. Less than six months after purchasing the vehicle from vann Dodge Chrysler Jeep Ram (899 S delsea dr, vineland, NJ 08360, 856-794-9700), it stalled numerous times without warning. A passerby and an independent mechanic noticed that the oil reservoir was completely empty. There were no warning indicators at the time of the failures. The vehicle was taken back to the dealer and they kept refilling the oil with no solution other than providing an oil consumption test. In addition, there was a drastic loss of power and speed due to the transmission assembly. There was no mention of NHTSA campaign numbers: 15V542000 (power train) or 16V113000 (electrical system). The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failures. The failure mileage was not available.

I have had several problems with this car. The main problem is when the oil gets low, the oil light doesn't come on, and the car shuts down. This causes the steering wheel to lock up, and it becomes hard to properly pull the car over safely. When will Dodge recall this engine?!!

Engine suddenly shut down while in motion. Loss of power steering and power brakes. No warning lights, no check engine light. Subsequent investigation revealed probable cause was low oil level due to excessive oil consumption (~ 1 quart in 1600 miles). This problem has been reported extensively on-line with this engine (2.4 liter tigershark).

When my oil is low, there is no warning on dash, my car just shuts off. We have taken it to a few dealerships in South jersey and they said this is a common issue with the Dodge Darts. If my husband was not a mechanic and changed oil early, I would have this issue every time!
