1 Engine Burning Oil problem

Failure Date: 02/10/2021

While driving down my street and accelerating, the car stalled out. No warning lights on dash. Had a hunch and checked the oil. It was nearly bone-dry. Added two quarts and it appears to be functioning normally. I believe the issue to be excessive oil consumption. With the lack of warning light, and just unusual occurrence, I could have been killed. I'm just glad I wasn't on the freeway (as other Dart owners I've talked to have been).

2 Engine Burning Oil problem

Failure Date: 09/02/2020

No oil light on, no engine light, and it stalled. There is a problem with oil consumption with the 2. 4 engine. My car died after backing out of my driveway and starting a turn. Y car stalled out twice in the middle of intersections very dangerous. Battery light came on, music continued, but enginge just died. The steering wheel froze (no more power steering), and I couldn't press my brake down, it just sat there in the road. I checked the level of my oil and it doesn't even cover the curved part of the dipstick, that's how low it is. The car stalled out again, a few months after the oil change. The car is not indicating when it needs oil, and is shutting itself off so it doesn't over heat while driving at speeds 70mph+ and in the middle of intersections while turning.

5 Engine Burning Oil problem

Failure Date: 11/17/2018

Vehicle started stalling last winter after remote start thought it was remote start acting up but now it started stalling randomly at idle and turning now it has stalled driving down the road and sometimes will not restart right away, it is scheduled to have an oil change in 4 days so I started searching why it would be stalling and read about excessive oil consumption. I just checked my oil and it is barely reading on dipstick. This is bs there is no way it should be consuming this much oil between oil changes. I bought it brand new and it only has 33,000 miles on it.

Once at home I research the issue and found multiple reports like mine of engines stalling due to excessive oil consumption.

7 Engine Burning Oil problem

Failure Date: 07/23/2018

I purchased my 2015 Dart new from the dealership. Since 7/2017, the car has stalled out in the middle of driving and left me stranded on 3 separate instances. The battery light comes up on the dash after the car stalls out but there is no warning before that. The car does not restart and has to be left for 5-10 minutes before it will turn over. Even then you can only drive it until you push the brake again and it stalls out. The dealership insists that this is normal for the Dart and that it burns more oil than other vehicles. Every time this occurs, there is not a drop of oil in the car. When it happened today, there are less than 5,000 miles on the car since the last oil change and it has been less than 3 months since the last oil change. The last two times this has happened, I have nearly gotten hit because the engine just shuts down without warning.

8 Engine Burning Oil problem

Failure Date: 04/04/2018

Upon driving a few months after getting this vehicle I noticed it was burning oil rather fluently. When turning corners while driving it would shut of and I'd have to wait about ten minutes and it withhold turn on like nothing happened. After adding more oil it would operate a bit better. Then the throttle system kicked out. I was driving on the highway and began to lose speed. I pulled over for safety and turned the car off. After restarting it I learned the throttle body system was bad. I initially didn't know what it was until after researching the vehicle and it's functions. . . I cannot get speed going up hill and cannot reach does if more than 40-45mph.

11 Engine Burning Oil problem

Failure Date: 09/20/2017

My 17 year old son was driving his 2015 Dodge Dart on the road and it completely stalled almost causing an accident. It then started up again and drove. Car would not start at school until many tries. Car 1 day later, 09202017, stalled again while driving on the road and and thank god no cars were behind him for a rear end accident. This is a very dangerous condition ! dealer indicated the car was low on oil (only 25% oil left). No engine oil light has come on to ever warn us. Additionally, the Dodge Dart form website indicates this is a common problem with the Dart's 2. 4l engine consuming 1 quart or more every 2,000 miles. This is ridiculous for a new car to burn this much oil and can cause the engine shut off protection while on a freeway or busy road which can cause an accident. Dealers are not sure what to say and don't investigate this engine problem. Can someone help this community of car owners before accidents occur and loss of vehicle engines at great expense to owner. Many people on the mentioned forum also indicate their oil low light has never come on to warn them before the car automatically shuts off "while driving".

The contact felt that this was not a permanent solution and was unable to determine when the levels were low. The manufacturer was notified of the failure and provided no solution. The failure mileage was not available.

16 Engine Burning Oil problem

Failure Date: 10/01/2016

Vehicle is burning oil way to fast. I get my oil changes frequently and have to keep a big bottle in the car as extra. The vehicle can be driving and just completely shut off in motion. When I add more oil that car cuts back on. I don't have any oil spots when I park my vehicle so I have no clue where the oil is going. No check engine lights are on. I take it to the shop and they don't know what the issue is. This is an issue I had since I purchased the vehicle. I'm completely overwhelmed with how dangerous this car is. This problem is still current til this day 6/6/2018.

Burning oil ever since we bought it, constantly having to add oil between oil changes. Dealership says its within specs. Contacted chrylser care about issues as well. Still has not been corrected. Very disappointed, a new car should not burn/consume 1 to 2 quarts of oil between oil changes.

20 Engine Burning Oil problem

Failure Date: 08/10/2015

Dodge Dart gt 2015 suddenly shuts off. No warning lights only a dinging noise. Only 4200 miles on car the first time. Shut off 8 different times sense then. Took it to dealer was told out of oil. Car would shut off turning or stopping fast. Got oil change from dealer. Less than 4000 miles later same thing, car shut off and radio still on and dash lights working one ding noise. Turned onto busy road and Dart shut off, was scary for a few minutes fast traffic coming from behind, had to get off road quick. Oil not leaking in driveway. Tech at dealer said he saw this problem before and told me to watch my engine. Car has never maid to a 5000 mile oil change without shutting off. One time shut off after only 2540 miles sense last oil change. Dealer found no signs of leaks or signs of oil burning up. The 7th oil change they reprogrammed the oil sensor. Losing all my free oil changes to quickly. Now I'm 750 miles from due oil change and shut off again. I checked oil stick - bone dry. Put 2 quarts oil ( O2 20w) in , that got me to the bottom of low mark on stick. Car running ok to get to dealer again. Also checked oil gage in car, said:43% oil life remaining. That was a lie. Oil is always very low and engine hot but not overheating. Oil should be dirty and maybe a little low but not very very low. I want to make the car last 150 to 200 thousand miles with good care. Worried engine will not even get close. Got extended warranty. Car engine gonna blow up before it's time and blame me. Car shutting off with no warning and no oil, cant get to 5000 mile oil change. Had a 2013 Dart, loved it, traded in for 2015 with better warranty. Miss old Dart.

21 Engine Burning Oil problem

Failure Date: 02/26/2015

I purchased the car the last week of February. I began having car problems in mid March. I called the dealership and was scheduled to come in for service. Was told the software needed to be updated. Got car back and it stopped on me twice and had to be towed to the dealership. In may I was given a loaner car and was told my oil consumption was bad. Received car back in June and car was reposed for nonpayment. I got car out and it stopped again. In July the dealership then gave another loaner and told me my car will be a Chrysler buyback. From July to September never heard anything from Chrysler till sept 24 advising me to go to the dealership to choose another vehicle. Dealership did not know what I was talking about so we contacted Chrysler to get a clear understanding of what needs to be done. Was told to choose a car and they would take care of the registration and the paper work. Drove the 2015 Jeep renegade for almost a month and I checked in with the dealership once a week to find out if the paperwork was complete. First week of November was told by dealership to bring back the Jeep and my 2015 Dart was repaired. I was told to register the Dodge Dart and then I could get the Jeep back.
