The car is over heating and the ecm (brain) is messed up. I have only made the 2nd payment on the car and only got to drive it about a week and the tire sensor stays
From control arms are welded down and some sort of screw goes through transmission. Mechanics are unable to remove and replace the front control arms because of that. If I cannot get the front control arms replaced, I cannot get an wheel alignment.
Bought a used vehicle for my daughter. Dealership put new tires on the vehicle. Owed it less than 10 days and there's a bulge on sidewall of kuhmo solus 225/40R18. Noticed when filling gas into vehicle. Attempting to contact tire company regarding recalls. No potholes have been hit. Only 681 miles on tires.
The contact owns a 2015 Dodge Dart. The contact stated while driving at 25 mph, the vehicle struck an unknown object in the roadway and the vehicle became uncontrollable. The contact stated that an unspecified passenger's side wheel detached from the vehicle. The vehicle was towed to the residence. An unknown dealer was made aware of the failure. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure. The contact was informed by the manufacturer to have the vehicle towed to South Chicago Dodge Chrysler Jeep located at (7340 S western ave, Chicago, il 60636) which was still pending. The approximate failure mileage was 71. The VIN was not available.
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.

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.
I have had issues since the day I bought the car. I have 26,000 miles and am on my third set of tires. The dealer tells me that they do not feel anything is wrong yet the tires keep wearing out and one recently had a bulge, I complained of a whirling sound and they told me it was the tires, I replaced the tires and it is still there. I keep taking the car in and it is one excuse after another. I report the issues to Dodge and they tell me to go to the dealer. A mechanic at the dealer told me that the car runs like a tractor trailer, it is idling at 2,000 RPM in park when it should be 900 or less and it sounds like there is an issue in the rear end and engine mount issues. I'm afraid the car will fall apart while I'm driving it. I need someone to help me get Dodge to figure out what the issues are. They had the audacity to tell me my driving habits are the reason I need tires every 10,000 miles. I have a camaro that I drive like a bat out of hell and got my first set of tires at 50,000 miles. Something is wrong with this car and no one at Dodge will help. Will it take me getting killed for someone to do something??
Takata recall while diving at approximately 30 mph I was taking a left turn into my neighborhood when the vehicle began to accelerate on its own causing me to strike my drivers side front wheel on the curb disabling my vehicle. The motor still continued to rev at a high RPM for 10-15 seconds after impact without the accelerator being touched.
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
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.
I recently noticed that both front tires from my Dodge Dart 2015 have a huge bulge, I took it to the dealer and said that we have to contact the manufacturer of the tire which I will do after I post this complain. People at the dealer and at sears (days after I went for a nail in one tire from behind) said the same to contact manufacturer and that it should have warranty. It is weird since I never ever over inflated the tires, they are always at the recommended air pressure and never hit some huge pot hole or something like it.
November 1 2015 while traveling on parkway 376 in pittsburgh Pennsylvania. I became trapped behind a portion of a tree that had made it's way in the lane I enter the parkway. After being forced to stop, and put hazards on and attempt to merge into traffic. I was rear ended by a GMC Envoy traveling at least 55 mph, forcing me into tree I was trying to avoid.my passenger and I left in ems vehicles, my car was returned to monroeville Dodge for repairs. After getting my car back I noticed when it rain, or snow the trunk of car would get wet. Whenever operating the car in speeds 35 mph or more, you could feel air coming through backseat. After returning the car to Dodge for inspection, I was told that they found nothing to cause problem. Car was inspected and pass with only requiring 2 rear tires. August 2 2016, while at a stop sign, a driver driving a 2005 Honda Pilot with original grill, rear ended the car, at this time I drove my car home, in the morning I noticed tires were bent outward. After filing a claim with the driver"S insurance co, I learned that the car was not aligned after rear end hit on Nov 1 2015 that caused car to slam into the tree on parkway. After the insured fix only body, found not responsible for mechanical damage, once again the car was repair without wheel alignment by monroeville Dodge and offered back for operating on road. After taking the repair statement to other auto body repair shops, and pictures of both rear end accidents, I was advised the car could have sustained frame damages from Nov 1 2015, making it unable to be properly align and unsafe for operating. I'm currently still in a rental car my car is still at Dodge with no wheel alignment repairs after neither accident. Dodge has told both insurance companies, (state farm Nov 1 2015, and geico Aug 2, 2016) wheel allignment was not needed. Please help
Driving home from my parents house maybe a mile away from home air pressure gauge light illuminated we live less than a mile away from local gas station that has air pump. We drove my wife and three kids to the gas station to get air in the deflated tired as soon as the light illuminated. As we approached the gas station literally 150 ft away, the car starts to shake and rumble on the drivers side left tire. Just had the car at the dealer last Saturday with no mention of issues with the tires. Upon inspection the sidewall of the kumho KH25 tires was cracking. Upon further inspection you can see noticeable wear on the side walls of the other tires. Car started to rumble for another 20-30 feet before we were able to pull over to the side of the road and evaluate. This is pretty unacceptable to me kuhmo tires have apparently had a pretty bad reputation here in the us why are manufactures still using this company"!"! this is a daily driver I am on the same roads constantly the only variant is one set of tracks that I travel over once a week...there is no way this was caused from normal wear and tear on a car that has 9K miles on it.
2015 Dodge Dart refused pa. State inspection due to faulty yokohama S34 225/4018 tire (bulge on sidewall). Car is new with 2,100 miles and came with said tires on it. Informed tires have weak sidewalls, but still defect had to be listed as road hazard, no marks or damage to wheel or tire and wasn't broken down for examination. We have to pay $200 for new tire. Contacted yokohama was told what ever dealer says is law, they do not confirm defects, nor do they care about doing such.
Tires always low. I have replaced all my tires and some more then once. I tried avoiding drain because cover was missing and hit a bump car bounced out of control and hit uncovered drain anyway. Had to file insurance claim had almost $3,000 in damages. I hate my car.
I was driving down the road, at night, which had a speed limit marked at 25 miles per hour. There were a couple of potholes that I noticed so I decreased my speed and was going between 15 and 20 miles per hour trying to avoid any that I saw. I ended up hitting one which was unavoidable, and hard to see since the incident occurred at night; I was going approx. 20 miles per hour (5 under the recommended speed). When the car hit the pothole the front passenger tire popped, the dealership said the sidewall had been blown out. About a month later the same tire had a sidewall blowout again after hitting a pothole, once again at night time while going 35 miles per hour on a road that was marked 35 miles per hour, the rim was also damaged in this incident. Another incident recently happened earlier in June 2015 where I was merging into traffic and driving approx. 35 miles per hour and when I turned my head back around the pothole had already been unavoidable, this time it was the front driver side tire. This rim was also damaged during the incident, and a week after I received my car back from the dealership I was driving down the road and then my tire pressure sensor on the front driver side had went out. I had not hit any holes, I was just casually driving down a main road while on my way to work. The car was purchased in late January 2015, and I have been driving down the same roads as my old car which was a 2000 Honda Accord and have never had any blowouts or incidents with the Honda, yet this 2015 Dodge Dart has a blowout with the slightest pothole encounter.
I was driving to work and my steering axel on the right hand front tire broke in half. I thought that I hit a pot hole but there was no pot hole. I called the dealer and they did not want to fix it. I called the Chrysler company and they stated there wasn't any recalls. I find it a little wired that there was I didn't get a flat tire the axel just broke.
