I have a 2016 Dodge Dart with 63K on it. My 16 year old drives it and three days ago she is pulling out school and the car cuts off. She has have it jumped we take it to get battery checked and alternator. It shows battery is no good so we replace battery. The next morning and she on way to work and it cuts off again so we get it running and drive it around and cuts off twice more. I contacted dealer and they test it and tell me it is 2 quarts low on oil and it will cut off. We have had no indicator light that oil was low the oil had been changed less then two months again. They go to say we can request a oil consumption test in 500 miles and proceed to give me service bulletin on oil consumption. This is a safety issue as what if we are driving on freeway and it just cuts off! I ask why it's burning oil if it's oil leak and they say there no leak but don't know where oil is going and it's a common problem in Darts to check oil every 500 miles.
The contact owns a 2016 Dodge Dart. While driving various speeds, the vehicle suddenly shut off. The vehicle was towed to kendal Dodge (13355 S.w. 137th ave, miami, fl), but the cause of the failure could not be determined. The manufacturer was notified and did not assist. The failure mileage was 3,000.
Car stalled while driving on a on ramp to the freeway. I pulled over and tried to start it. It sounded like it was trying to turn over by itself for a good 10 seconds. When it restarted, after releasing the break my car thrust forward. Then started to spuber like it wanted to stall again. At that time 3 lights came on on the dash... the check engine, stabilization and another I've never seen. Was real close to a Dodge dearer where I bearly made it to. When I asked the person about the tigris light coming on he told me 'that means get it in asap! something seriously wrong is with the vehicle.' The car has just over 30K miles and I know it's still under warranty.
I have been recently having issue with my 2016 Dodge Dart which I have only had for exactly a year this past Oct. While driving in motion the car can just shut off. It has happened while on city streets as well as highways. I have torn my car to get testing where there is no code found and no lights come back on once the car starts up. I was told my battery was no good a couple months back replaced the battery and now car troubles again. I have been reading a lot of reviews where this is happening to a lot of people. This is extremely dangerous and I am in disbelief nothing has been done about this. Are we waiting for someone to die to take action "????" updated 11/29/18 consumer stated since the oil change there hasn't been any problems. Updated 12/12/18
On a daily bases my car will not start. (mornings before work, evenings after work, when ever I stop the car and come back to it.) I must start the car with a jump machine whenever I turn it off. Today the radio started going out. Once the radio goes out it feel like it wants to cut off in motion, on the street.
Twice while driving my car has just completely stalled and lost power. Both times I was slowing to a stop. Other times it feels as it it will stall but doesn't. it has caused two minor accidents at a stop sign due to the stalling.the other event happened at 50,0000 miles in June. I took car to dealership, no codes came up.
I have had my 2016 Dodge Dart for 2 years and 5 mos and this is the third time the check engine light has come on and the car seems like it wants to stall out and has problem getting power and has a pulling effect when going at regular speed, I have taken it to the dealer to replace a coli on it already; I didn't expect to have any issues with a brand new car so soon and having to pay for replacing a coil which was quite pricey to do but I did because I don't have any other means of transportation and also because the original Chrysler part was on back order for several months; I don't feel that I should have to pay for these repairs being that my car is only 2 years old; and I now am having the same issue again and probably going to have to pay again to have same problem fixed; very unhappy with owning a Dodge vehicle :)
Takata recall. Car started fine drove about a 1/2 mile and turned them vehicle just died. Engine stopped dead in its tracks, ax still blowing just a little warm, radio continues to play, all lights are on as normal. But battery light is flashing. Put car in park in the middle of the road!! to restart, car starts right up and drives fine. No check engine light or any signs of problems.
The vehicle kept turning off while driving. It happened more often when vehicle was cold. Checked the battery and alternator at a mechanic and all was fine. Its a problem with engine oil. The car consumes oil at a rate of approximately 1 quarts per every 500 miles. When the oil reaches low levels, the vehicle will turn off while driving causing the steering wheel to get stiff and difficult to hit the breaks.
Thermostat failed at 47K miles on a 2016 Dart. This should have been covered under engine warranty but wasn't. the 2.4L has a history of thermostat failings and our dealership replaces them constantly.
Vehicle has had issues from about 1300 miles. The car will randomly shut off while driving with no warning signs and has a hard time restarting, if it will restart. The car has been back to the dealer several times and diagnosed and they can not find the anything in the computer system or figure out whats wrong. I was told be the dealer that it is acceptable for the car to consume up to 1 quart of oil every thousand miles or so. The only information I was given is that it is a known oil problem and that fca (Fiat Chrysler automotive) is not willing to do anything about the matter. The vehicle now has about 41 thousand miles on it and is back at the dealership for further testing. This has not only cost me extra money but has created major safety concerns, I had broken down while getting on and off of the highway with my family in the car and have been stuck on or in the middle of the road several times. These 2.4L Fiat motors are extremely unsafe ! I have told Dodge I refuse to drive the car until they fix the issue, also I would not accept the same car as a loaner due to the fact that the last loaner car I had similar to mine also had the same issue at the last service.
The contact owns a 2016 Dodge Dart. In October of 2016, while driving 25 mph, the vehicle stalled without warning. The vehicle was taken to a local dealer (napleton Chrysler Jeep Dodge Ram, 1460 E osceola pkwy, kissimmee, fl 34744) where it was diagnosed that there was inadequate oil in the vehicle during production, which caused the sensor to shut the vehicle down. The vehicle was repaired, but the failure recurred. While driving 40 mph, the oil indicator was flashing. The vehicle was taken back to the dealer where a compression test was completed. The dealer diagnosed that the oil was evaporating and the engine needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure and denied the claim. The manufacturer advised the contact to add oil and refer to the owner's manual. The failure mileage was 15,638.
Their were poisonous fumes coming out of the heater, coolant, and radio speaker systems, the vehicle burned too much gas, their was no acceleration in long distance {in ref to: A seaside university section 8 housing survey}, the dealership wouldn't offer diagnostic and warranty service; after I gave them alot of money they told me not to come back to their lot; I gave them the car back; and told the judges to tell them to return all the money I gave them back into my bank account: King county superior court case # 17-2-24602-6 sea filed in seattle.
The contact owns a 2016 Dodge Dart. While driving 60 mph, the vehicle stalled without warning and the steering wheel seized. The contact was able to restart the vehicle and drove away. The dealer and manufacturer were not contacted. The failure mileage was 26,841. The VIN was not available.
I have had the car for one year and six months bought the car brand new and this us the third time the check engine light has come on and the car acts as if its going to die out. The place where I purchased the vehicle from fixed and stated that the coils were bad. Now I'm having the same issue again. The reason wht I bought a new vehicle was to avoid issues such as this. I traded in a 2011 vehicle that I had bought used had it for five years and never had ant check engine light issues nor any other issues.
The previous complaint was filed on September 15, 2016. Ihtsa id number 10906998. Originally the vehicle dying was said to be due to the oil needing to be changed and something with the turbo engine that my vehicle does not have. Since the previous complaint, the computer system was updated at the dealership. There were no other issues after the computer system update. April 10th the vehicle started making a loud rattling sound. The sound begins once you get over 50-55mph and gets louder the faster you go and the longer you drive. I recorded the sound so that the dealership could not find a problem. The service department said it sounds like a bicycle chain. It is scheduled for service for the rattling problem on June 21. Today while backing out of the driveway the vehicle tried stalling. After drive about 2 miles down the road, the vehicle died while pulling out from a stop sign onto the main road. A car swerved into the turning lane to keep from hitting me. This makes the 4th time that the vehicle has died while driving it. This issue is going to cause me or my children to be injured or killed. The vehicle currently has 14, 153 miles.
The car shakes very uruptly at idle. You can look at the engine and see it's shaking at idle. If you turn the air conditioner on it gets worse. Radio screen will not work sometimes. Blue tooth will work then cut off then turn back on when it feels like it. Automatic headlights work then randomly not work where I have to turn them manually on. Wipers do the same as the headlights but to correct the issue for the wipers it takes turning off the car and turning it back on and out them on low. Engine will die randomly while driving the car at any speed. Gps will not load sometimes. The back up camera works when screen works but also fails when screen is working and while backing up. During take off the car will stall like no gas then it will go like it's getting gas. During cold it shifts really rough like your using a standard slamming it in gear. I have also has 2 misfire in 2 different cylinders. One was a coil pack the other was supposedly a loose connection. Took car in for all this and dealer said if their is no check engine nothing they can do even though they feel the car chair and can see the engine shaking. They tell me to come back in when light comes on. Light switch has been replaced and still faults. ECM and tcm habe been reprogrammed multiple times and problems still consist.

The vehicle was towed to a dealer where it was diagnosed that the engine had no oil, which caused the failure. After adding oil, the failure recurred. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 38,000.
