Car cuts off while driving after a couple tries of restarting it it will finally start and drive ok. But it has done this several times and is dangerous what if this happen on express way. Someone can die from this issue and it needs to be handled
While driving down the expressway with my wife, I seen sparks in the rearview mirror. Upon pulling over and checking the tires(figured a tire blew out and we were riding on a rim) I noticed a glowing coming from under the engine compartment. By the time I got my wife and our dog out of the car smoke was coming into the car. I immediately called emergency by the time I got off the phone with the dispatcher the car was fully engulfed. Chrysler did an "investigation and took no responsibility for the fire. I've seen numerous others with the same result as our car.
My car keeps cutting off while I'm driving. The batter light comes on without any warning. After the batter light comes on the only thing I can do is steer, the car starts to slow down, I can't excel at all, raido and all lights cut off as well. Once the car comes to a complete stop, I'll start it back up sometimes it'll start right back up, or I'll have to hold the key down a few seconds for it to start. The car have stopped on me while driving move than 5 times. I took it to the dealership where I purchased the car and the first few time they said after they ran all of the test they couldn't get the vehicle to duplicate the problem. Another time they asked could they keep the vehicle over night and have a mechanic drive the car home and back to work. The next day when I went to go pick up my vehicle they said they kinda-sorta got the car to duplicate the problem those were there exact words. Then they put a monitor in my car they told me to press the button while I was driving if the car was to go out so they can record the problem. The monitor was in my car for about a month and my car didn't duplicate the problem. A few weeks after they took the monitor out my car cut off on me again and took it back to the shop and they ran the same test and they couldn't figure out what's wrong with it. Another time my car went off I toom it back to the shop and it just so happened that my car was halfway empty on oil and they're telling me that my car is cutting off because it needs oil and they were going to monitor the oil. So they sent me back on the road and told me to come back when my car got to a certain amount of miles they had wrote down, when my car got to that amount of miles that they have wrote down I took my car back to the dealership and I told him to tell me if I needed an oil change and they told me I didnt. The car cut off when I was on the highway and on
On two separate occasions, my car randomly cut off while I was driving through my complex and flashed the battery light. I had the battery checked & was told it's good. I had an appointment with a mechanic in my warranty network, they referred me to the dealership. When I called the dealership told me there is nothing they can tell me until the check engine light comes on. When I filed a complaint with the car dealership, they told me that there is nothing they can do without a diagnosis. So, now I know there is a problem with my car randomly stalling, but nothing I can do about it until a check engine light comes on or it randomly stops at the most inopportune time and someone crashes into me and potentially kills me.
The "parking light out" warning keeps coming on. I took the vehicle to the dealership three different times and each time was told it was fixed. The "fix" lasted for about a week and then the warning message would return. The warning showed up again today after about a month of being off. Also, all the tires have extreme pressure loss. It will go from 42 psi down to 10 psi over night with out any noticeable damage. After inspection there was no apparent holes or damages to any part of the tire. The dealership has replaces the tires multiple times and the problem continues. Partial pressure loss, between 4 and 10 psi occurs during normal driving range. However, a significant loss, between 20 to 30+ psi, is well the vehicle is in parked state over a period of rest usually around 6 to 8 hours. Multiple of events noted between Apr 2015 and Nov 2016.

First, I hate this car! the engine light came on! has started wanting to go dead when stopping at stop sign or stop lights. Took to dealership and would not put on machine! the seats are positioned horribly. Seems like it is declining really fast. Purchased in May 2015 with 5 miles on it.
Whenever I press the horn there is a delay of about one second from when I press it till when you hear the sound of the horn. Plenty of times, as well, when you press the horn no sound is produced. Sometimes it is necessary to press the horn a really hard in order to produce a sound. Several times this has led to a near accident. This happens when either the other driver wasn't notified quickly enough of my presents or he noticed but it was too late and there was a near accident.
I purchased the car the last week of February. I began having car problems in mid March. I called the dealership and was scheduled to come in for service. Was told the software needed to be updated. Got car back and it stopped on me twice and had to be towed to the dealership. In may I was given a loaner car and was told my oil consumption was bad. Received car back in June and car was reposed for nonpayment. I got car out and it stopped again. In July the dealership then gave another loaner and told me my car will be a Chrysler buyback. From July to September never heard anything from Chrysler till Sept 24 advising me to go to the dealership to choose another vehicle. Dealership did not know what I was talking about so we contacted Chrysler to get a clear understanding of what needs to be done. Was told to choose a car and they would take care of the registration and the paper work. Drove the 2015 Jeep renegade for almost a month and I checked in with the dealership once a week to find out if the paperwork was complete. First week of November was told by dealership to bring back the Jeep and my 2015 Dart was repaired. I was told to register the Dodge Dart and then I could get the Jeep back.
My 2015 Dodge Dart was the victim of a high speed collision...unfortunately as extensive as the impact was none of the airbags deployed in my vehicle as I spun uncontrollably and bang my head on the steering wheel and side of the car. I purchased this car because I was impressed by all of the safety features and the one feature that could save my life was defective.
Was going through car wash and attendant noticed a bulge in the front driver side tire. Took it to dealer and was told not covered under warranty and that I must have hit a pothole ( which I did not) that's the only way it could have happened. I am very careful because of the warning given by a salesperson when we leased the vehicle.
