While driving my car on a busy road my my car started to loss power, so I turned the car off and it would'nt start back up. This happended in June 2020. I called the tow truck after about a hour in the rain once the tow truck pulls up the car finally starts and I get the car home. It shuts off again assoon as get in my yard. Checked the fuses, battery, alternator, etc. Replaced a 200amp fuse at the battery car worked fine for a few months. Bam the car will not start once again. All light are on, battery is charge fully thedarn carjust wont turn on. This is a harzard computer checks not one recal on this electical unknow issue, now I have a red box in my yard that looks pretty. Many people are having the same electrical issue, but when I called Dodge they said there are no recalls on this vehicle.
On the first drive of the day within the first mile the car shuts off. The starter grinds when trying to restart and after several minutes will turnover and then drives fine. Has occurred six times most recently sat 11-4 after turning left on a level surface the car shut down and coasted to a stop. Took three tries to restart and then drove fine.
The contact owns a 2013 Dodge Dart. While the vehicle was idling at a stop light, the vehicle lost engine power and shut off without warning. The contact placed the vehicle in park and restarted the vehicle. While driving approximately 60 mph, the vehicle jerked and slowly lost power, but never shut off. The contact moved the vehicle to the road shoulder and then drove home with the hazard lights activated until the power returned to normal. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The failure recurred. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failures. The approximate failure mileage was 66,100.
I purchased my Dodge Dart at 21,000 miles. 30,000 miles car shuts off on highway. Total power loss. Dodge was able to limit the problem however ran rough and at about 45000 miles car shifted hard now at 70000 Dodge tells me it's the transmission valve body. 3,000 dollar repair. At this point car is not worth 3000. Still shuts off completely while driving. Transmission control module is recalled for the 2013 Dart however not my VIN# ????? I see tons of people with the same issues even cases against Dodge for this model. However they are unwilling to help me out with any issues I bring to their attention. Unfortunate. For me.
When starting to slide on ice a notification flashes where your mileage should show but it disappears so quick due to the fact that the engine shuts down for a few seconds along with all electrical inside and outside of the vehicle ( no speedometer no stereo no touch screen no lights in or out) however while sliding if you let your foot off the break the engine and all the lights seem to reboot and the car gains power again. Not safe and scary as hell when driving in a upstate NY snow storm.
Vehicle is the 1. 4l multiair turbo model with the ddct automatic transmission. Waiting in a parking lot, stopped in event traffic, car began emitting smoke from under the hood. After a couple minutes, with the smoke intensifying, the vehicle shut off and would not restart immediately afterwards. Right before the shutoff, the low oil pressure indicator came on. The vehicle had been running no more than 20 minutes and there were no other malfunction indicators illuminated on dash, nor had there ever been prior. The aaa provider confirmed with me that visually everything seemed to be fine and in proper working condition with all fluid levels in acceptable ranges. Vehicle has been towed to the dealership and is currently being investigated. Vehicle was ordered may 11, 2013 and received August 19, 2013. Currently has 5555 miles. This even sounds almost identical to complaint NHTSA id number: 10496762 quoted below in its entirety: the contact owns a 2013 Dodge Dart.

The vehicle was towed to the dealer. The technician was unable to diagnose the failure. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure but did not offer any assistance. The vehicle was not repaired. The failure mileage was 1,600 and the current mileage was 2,000.
