1 Car Will Not Start problem

Failure Date: 02/13/2019

Purchased 2014 Dodge Dart from Subaru of cherry hill, NJ dealership 5/2019 @ 44,000mi. Used. Excellent carfax. Since ownership, vehicle has stopped twice; once while slowed down to make a left turn, and again while stopped at a red light. Battery light did not come on either time. 3rd time vehicle didn't start after being parked for approximately 10 hrs. Needed to be jumped. After first incident of stopping, vehicle was towed to mechanic; couldn't find problem. Battery checked out as ok. Oil change performed at 47,351mi. Also, since being purchased, a slightly sweet smell comes out of fan. Does not go away. Concerned that the vehicle will stop while on a highway, causing a multi-vehicle crash. This seems very unsafe. Upon investigation, no recall was noted. Dealership called to discuss further without response. This is a very dangerous situation and there needs to be a recall. Many other drivers seem to have the same issues when searched online. Please help! most recent episode was 2/13/19.

2 Car Will Not Start problem

Failure Date: 10/21/2018

Went to get in my car and the alarm system activated and it will not start. Also the motor consumes oil at an alarming pace to the point I have to take oil with me when I go anywhere. Because if I don't it will get low and the car will lose all power while I'm driving down the road. This is unsafe and needs to be fixed ASAP especially since I have kids. Car still will not start.

3 Car Will Not Start problem

Failure Date: 05/16/2016

I bought a brand new 2014 Dodge Dart aero and about 3 weeks after purchasing my car stalled and shut off, the transmission light came on. I took it to Dodge and they said they did not have a code but they saw an issue with my anti-lock brake system. A part to my transmission was recalled, we waiting for over 3 months for the part and upon bringing my car to the dealership they reported my car not starting. About 3 weeks after my transmission recall was "fixed" my engine starting smoking upon starting the car at least 5 times and my engine was completely replaced, they again reported my car would not crank. My car was in the shop for 27 days, two days after picking my car up it was brought back to the dealor for the car feeling like the transmission was slipping at various speeds. It's been almost 2 weieks with no update. Dodge resolutions has sent an inspector. Initially the car was purchased with about 220 miles on it, the car is only at 17,000 now.

4 Car Will Not Start problem

Failure Date: 08/28/2014

Car wouldn't start had to replace the starting harness within the first 3 months of owning the car had to replace two batteries even after the harness was replaced but hasn't happened since. Had to replace the turbo hose assembly from pulling in oil and cracked since the oil was hot. Now im having to put in a quart of oil in it every month and I change my oil every two and half months (5,000 miles) so my engine is burning the oil off to quickly (oil consumption). Also drove hit a very small pothole and had my driver side control arm snap very very cleanly and was told that it wouldn't be covered under any warranties.
