Engine Burning Oil problems of the 2014 Dodge Dart

Car is burning oil causing it to stall.

Engine shuts off while slowing down to turn or stop at stop sign or light. No warning lights before engine shuts down. Call Dodge dealer, was told to check oil and that it was common for Dodge Darts that oil was very low or empty and car would do that. Check and oil was empty or basically empty. Oil warning light did not come on even after engine shutdown this happened a couple of times in one week the last time I was almost hit from the rear I find this to be a very serious situation. I have no oil leaks so engine must have burned oil I still had 600 miles left to oil change. Oil light did not come on when it should have an engine should never shut down well still in motion!.

Crossing a busy road to the middle turn lane my 2014 Dodge Dart stalled out and had a complete loss of power, leaving me in the middle of the road and I was almost tboned. I was quickly able to start the vehicle again to get into the middle turn lane where the car stalled out again. After several attempts I was able to start the car and turn around to head back home and off the road. While driving 100ft the car was still jerking as it was about to stall yet again. I get the car home and leave it parked to call the dealership. The only thing they kept asking me about or were concerned about was my oil and if I had been doing my oil changes. So, they obviously were aware of this issue with the engine failure and the oil. I told the dealership that I have complete documentation of every oil change having been done on time, every time and that I wasn't even due for my next oil change. The service department of the dealership still suggested I check my oil level. I check my oil and it's so low that nothing is on the dip stick, my engine was dry of oil without my oil pressure sensor ever having gone off and zero oil in my driveway. I called immediately and had the car towed to the dealership as it's a very dangerous problem and still under the powertrain warranty. The next day the dealership calls me to inform me that the information I have them was correct that there was no oil in my car, no oil leaks and no residue of oil to be found! they then proceeded to tell me that they've filled it with oil and I'm required to continue driving this dangerous vehicle that already almost had me tboned for another 1,000 miles to do an oil consumption test before Chrysler will possibly approve me for a new motor that is still covered under the powertrain warranty. I was also told that they are aware of the issue of the motor just burning the oil in this car and that it's dangerous.

My vehicle has stopped on two occasions while I was driving it. This is very dangerous and is an obvious safety concern. When I pulled out the oil stick there was absolutely no oil. This happened the second time as well. I took it into the dealership and did an oil consumption test. The oil went down about half a quart in 1000 miles. They sent me away and said that this was acceptable. The engine only holds about four quarts this is ridiculous and I will never make it into my next oil change without the car shutting off. The car shuts off due to a safety reaction to stop the engine from being damaged due to low oil. I have not made it to my oil change since I have been refilling the oil. Dodge's guidelines say it is "acceptable" for the 2. 4 engine to burn 1 quart every 750 miles. That is all the engine oil in the engine since it only holds 4 quarts every 3,000 miles. My oil change won't be due any time close to then. Please do something about this. There are countless complains and threads of citizens with this safety concern. I am worried of when the car will stop on me again.

The car was dying at lights, onramps, offramps, just basically anytime the oil sloshed around enough to lose oil pressure and shut off. After 4k miles, 40% oil life left according to the monitor, the oil doesn't even register on the dipstick, had to add 2-3 quarts. Went to Dodge dealership, dealt with Chrysler case #'s and reps, was promised a fix and never got it. Oh yeah, the dealership tried to charge me hundreds of dollars. Had to argue with chyrsler corporate for weeks to get them to pay. Is it burning? leaking? it's a manufacturing defect for sure. The epa would have a field day. Their emissions are probably completely out the window if they are burning that much oil, or releasing it into the wild 1 drop at a time. I've never seen any accumulating oil in the garage or my parking spot at work. I don't think the epa would like knowing barrels more of oil are being used than advertised. Also, the car has stalled in the middle of an intersection with cars coming up behind me. It's always been to/from work or something like that, and never with my kids and family in the car. But you'd have to think that's a huge lawsuit/tragedy waiting to happen, and yet Chrysler completely says that's within reasonable spec. Where the hell was this "spec" when I purchased the car? the new sticker didn't say "great gas mileage, awesome nav unit, burns 1qt of oil per week" on the window. 20 year old cars have oil level sensors, and warnings about that. Why does this new age car, not have an oil sensor on it to at least warn us of impending doom when the car stalls making a simple turn? there was a dealership franchise chain down in phoenix completely replacing people's engines for free with the 2. 4l tigershark (I think some jeeps and fiat's have them as well). I also heard rumors that somewhere along the lines of 30% of 2. 4l's had the piston rings in backwards?.

Car stalls without warning in all sorts of scenarios, just started, turning, stopping, up hill or down hill. Multiple inquiries with Chrysler corporate and dealerships resulted in them telling me the car is engineered to allow 1qt of oil burned every 750 miles, per spec sheet I had to firmly demand to be able to see it. Was basically told there is no problem that my car dies in the middle of an intersection with my family in it, thereby the potential for a major catastrophic deadly situation is there. Chyrsler corporate cases were closed with no resolution and they nearly made me pay for the inquiry. This is all apparently hidden in the Chrysler TSB - 09-001-12. My car had 25,000 miles and was needing about 7-8 quarts between oil changes according to the car's built in oil life meter which is intended to be used.

At 7 am in the dark, the vehicle was approaching a train tracks crossing and stopped/stalled on a train tracks approach. All electronics were checked and verified as good. Starter would not engage. While making arrangements for a tow to the dealership, I checked this board for complaints. Sure enough, the low/no engine oil issue was the root cause. The engine burns oil at an alarming rate as if it were evaporative. I went back and added a quart. The car fired right up. I took it to the dealership just to be safe for them to check it out. Of course, no codes were prevalent so they could do nothing but charge me for an expensive diagnostic and an oil change. They had it for a week. Fca sent me a survey so I made them aware of it. Now, I (along with many of my fellow Dart owners) have posted to the us government's official site for actionable intelligence that they may do something (anything!). How many near misses have to be reported? how many actual failures of this sort has caused a mortal end? dead men and women tell no stories and remember that the car's flash memory does not record a code. So conceivably, this issue may have already been the cause of many preventable deaths. The internet has video available of this failure if the NHTSA are interested. It's dangerous and callous that this issue is not being investigated.

Vehicle engine is dying at random in traffic- either while stopped or in motion at low speeds. Electricals remain on, but all driving power is lost. Vehicle does not immediately restart. Dealership believed the issue to be oil consumption, but vehicle continued to have the same issue after oil was changed and refilled.

I love my car. I do not love having to dump a quart of oil in it every 1,000 miles. While driving my car it shut off. Everything shut off! I managed to get it restarted and make it back to my job but then had to have the car towed because it shut off again and wouldn't restart. At the time I had no clue about the oil issue as I bought my car brand new in 2014. It is costing me quite a bit to keep oil in it. The manufacturer flaw is that they used aluminum piston which burn through the oil. This needs to be fixed and a recall needs to be issued. This is dangerous and may end in death for some unsuspecting consumer. Also, after coming to a stop at a stop light or sign the car shifts out of drive as soon as you release the break and press on the gas. I have had this happen multiple times and have almost been hit as it will move slightly in to the intersection and then acts like it isn't going to go anywhere when it all of a sudden jumps back into drive. This is a major hazard and I am unsure why this issue and the other issues with the 2014 Dart are not being investigated and no recalls are being issued for this VIN #. Obviously, there are many complaints about these issues. Since the issues can end in fatalities it should be looked at a lot closer than it is. These issues are continual, there isn't just one date for them.

Pulling to a stop on the morning of Tuesday, June 21, car shuddered then died 1 block from home. No warning lights came on, and none had flashed in the 1. 5 years I have owned the car. Could not get car to start for 10 minutes. Once car started, no warning lights appeared. Drove it to my local service station for a diagnostic. They found no issues. Drove it all day Wednesday with no issues. Thursday morning, it shuddered and died about 3 blocks from home. Again no warning lights, and car would not start. Had it towed to local service station where it was serviced on Tuesday. While waiting for a tow, searched the internet for common Dodge Dart problems, and discovered that they burn through oil. Checked the oil and zero oil was registered on the dipstick, despite having just over 3k miles since last oil change. No signs of an oil leak. No warning lights or indicators of a problem. No issues with over heating. Mechanic is currently diagnosing the issue to determine a fix. This is a recurring problem with Dodge Darts if complaints on public forums are any indication. Reports of engines seizing due to burning through oil at an excessively high rate are common for this car whether the car has 9k miles, or 50k miles. It is incredibly dangerous for a car to run without oil, and posses a serious safety risk, especially if the electrical and diagnostic information is not recognizing the issue so that owners can address it in advance of engine seizure.

The contact owns a 2014 Dodge Dart. The contact stated that the vehicle experienced excessive oil consumption. The vehicle used over a quart of oil in 1,000 miles. The vehicle was taken to the dealer where the contact was informed that the information needed to be documented for a few months, but was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 19,000.

Tiger shark multi-air 2 engine consumes 1qt oil per 1000 miles. I was unaware of this consumption issue and the oil went to low and engine is designed to shut off. This stalling has happen 3 times to and 1 to the dealership. None of the cars warning indicators come on when pressure is low the car just stalls. Dealership resolution watch oil level and there is fix for the consumption or any way for the warning lights to be triggered. So if I forget to check the oil I am gambling with my life and others on the road if the car stalls while on the highway.

I have a 2014 Dodge Dart that is burning oil at what seems to me to be an alarming rate. I have had my vehicle in the shop over 4 times. I am being told I have no leaks and my car is fine, and that it is characteristic that my car needs to have oil added every 2k miles. I drive my car to and from work and I rarely travel out of state. I am not over driving or rough driving my car by any means. I have spent over 1k dollars in rentals and repairs. I have a 3 year old son that I drive to daycare 4 days a week and I cannot mentally be comfortable driving my son in a car that stops in the middle of the road because its out of oil. Dodge has done nothing to help me and I am seeking legal action.

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.
