36 Electrical System problem

Failure Date: 06/26/2020

I have been experiencing pretty much every recall that is on the list number one it started with my car check engine light coming on. And the codes that kept on coming up or for the plugs and coils. I would replace them and they would just go bad again in like a week it is causing my car to do what seems like it's misfiring. My tire light is stuck on when the tires are fine. The speed control stops working on and off. When I steer there's a loud clicking noise. Whenever I try to shift here lately sometimes it won't go into gear. When I turn on the ac it will cause the car to misfire and the only way to make it stop is to turn off the ac and restart the car sometimes three to four times before it stops messing up. Today the scariest thing of all happened I was pulling out of bronze and white smoke billowed out of the car tailpipes I'm not sure why. The car is also sporadically not going in gear when I am on the highway making me worry that me and my five kids are in danger due to someone raikkonen to me because my car will not go up to speed and will not shift into the right gear and misfires and will not go over like 30 miles per hour and putz. I replace parts and it seems to work well for a week or two but my car is not on the recall list they say that every single thing that is on the recall list is happening to my car. I don't know what to do about all of this I honestly you just think that Dart needs to take the car back. . Like recall it completely. This car has been nothing but trouble after the first year of driving it.

The right window no longer works as well as the driver side window. The trunk is also not wanting to open. Key gets stuck in ignition every time I try and turn the car off. Shift cables also broke, I was just getting home when it happened I heard something snap but didn't think much then I parked and tried to drive off again and the car wouldn't shift to drive I could move the stick. Back and forth still,had it replaced a couple of days later they said the whole rod had come out and shot into something else in the vehicle had shift fixed. Also had motor mouths fixed the mouths became loss within a couple of days now I believe the ac compressor is messing up ac kicks on but no air comes out, but it only happens once in a while car also stays cold for a long while and makes a weird clicking noise when I start it up. Also smells like oil. Passage seat also is stuck. This all happened within 2years ive had the vehicle.

48 Electrical System problem

Failure Date: 09/30/2019

When I'm driving, my car has completely lost power and wouldn't move. The battery light comes on, although I have a brand new battery that I got a year ago, and when I turn the car completely off to restart it, it will not turn back on. I found a recall and had the recall fixed and it is now worse with shifting than it was before, and it's still stalling and losing complete power. This is a huge safety risk as it can cause an accident or death, if this were to happen while driving on the highway or turning at an intersection. Fortunately enough, I was at the end of my street, stopped at a stop sign and went to drive again and that's when it lost power.

51 Electrical System problem

Failure Date: 07/09/2019

Takata recall: while I was leaving work for break, it started to pour down raining so I decided to pull into a driveway and turn around but my car wouldn't go in reverse, after so many attempts of trying I tried to get it to go in park and when I did the car kept moving toward the street off the side walk. So since it was still able to drive I pulled out off the curb and went back to work and tried getting it to stop but it kept moving so I turned the car off. After that I was no longer able to start my car and my key remote was stuck in the ignition. Coworkers came to see what the issue was and told me there's a recall when they googled it. The people I've been talking to have been no help and I've been without my car or any assistance for an entire month.

54 Electrical System problem

Failure Date: 04/08/2019

My car shuts off while driving at almost any speed; at times when I hit a hard bump, or make hard turns, and even when idling at times as well. Rpms shoot to zero and the engine shuts off leaving you only able to steer. . . I've had it in the shop at least twice for the issue since the first time it happened and each time whatever it is seems to be fixed until a few weeks/months later when it ends up happening again. The latest time was 04/08/19 on my way to work in the morning when I was merging onto the expressway; at about 40mph the car stalled and this happened 3 more times before I was able to make it to work.

55 Electrical System problem

Failure Date: 04/04/2019

I first started experiencing problems with my car in 2017 my car would overheat and shut off on me in the middle of the road. I took it into a Dodge dealership and they said it was my battery after that I had them change the battery. After maybe a day I went to work and the car shut off on me again. I then got an oil change and the car worked good for a few months until I came upon the problem again the car shit off on me in the middle of the highway. I always thought it was the oil because when it happens I change my oil and the car is fine after. I changed my oil recently and my car is still experiencing electrical problems the battery light turns on and it is a hassle to turn the car back on. I have read a lot of complaints on people who have the same car as me it is a big safety hazard to be stuck in the middle of the road I am not satisfied with my car especially since I keep up with the vehicle maintenance and it only has around 40,000 miles on it.

56 Electrical System problem

Failure Date: 02/12/2019

My car shut off on its own while I was driving to work, so we were in motion. It has now happened 4 times to me in a span of 3 weeks. I can either be driving during the day or night. It will happen in the middle of driving or when I come to a stop sign and adding pressure to the brake. Once it happens, and if I put it in park as well, the stick shift will lock up as well. Again this has now happened 4 times to me while driving and coming to a stop.

65 Electrical System problem

Failure Date: 09/01/2018

The headlights have been intermittent since I purchased the car, I ended up having to have both ballasts and bulbs replaced, still experiencing this issue intermittently. It is not something that is a recall or covered under any warranty past 40,000 this car has 50,000 and I'm already going to have a computer module replaced as it controls the headlights this will not be a cheap repair. This should be a recall as many Dart owners are experiencing this issue. The fog lights are the only forward facing lights I have that work at times, stationary or moving, other times it's one or the other,.

68 Electrical System problem

Failure Date: 04/11/2018

My Dodge Dart has been having issues for a couple weeks. It will start jerking like you're driving a standard and don't know how to drive it. The abs light, traction control light, check engine light and a couple other lights will all come on. When it does this there are times that you can press the had pedal all the way to the floor and it does nothing. Then the car started saying to check the transmission and when you shifted into certain gears it would say the gear was unavailable and you need to shift to drive or reverse. After troubleshooting I found that my fuse box, next to my battery, looks like several of the fuses have caught on fire. I don't know how the car hasn't gone up in flames. Aren't fuses supposed to break when something like this hastens.
