I have had several problems with this car. The main problem is when the oil gets low, the oil light doesn't come on, and the car shuts down. This causes the steering wheel to lock up, and it becomes hard to properly pull the car over safely. When will Dodge recall this engine?!!.
When my oil is low, there is no warning on dash, my car just shuts off. We have taken it to a few dealerships in south jersey and they said this is a common issue with the Dodge Darts. If my husband was not a mechanic and changed oil early, I would have this issue every time!.
Engine shuts off for no reason. . . . Causing loss of power. . . .
I started my vehicle this morning and it started rough and was surging. At takeoff the vehicle was driving strangly. Slowed to make a uturn, turned to the left slightly and my steering wheel locked, car shut down and was barely able to brake to slow down. I almost ran a man over trying to stop as I could not steer. The battery symbol popped up on the dash. I popped car in park. Removed key. Restarted vehicle and it took a good 5-10 seconds before turning over. There was hesitation upon start. After beginning to drive it seemed to be driving normally. . This seems to be a bit of a ticking time bomb and a very large safety issue and seems to be a known issue across all models.
Engine shutdown while driving. Appears to be sensor detecting low oil and rather than triggering the mil or a low oil indicator, it shuts the engine down. Happened to my wife while she was driving on a highway. Engine power loss, and also loss of power steering and braking. All dash lights came on, radio continued playing, and lights kept working so it wasn't a complete electrical power loss but a controlled engine shutdown.
I have a 2015 Dodge Dart se and its been nothing but issues! in 2016 I was on the highway going 65mph and all sudden my fucking car shut off completly! I had to immediately turn it back on and shift into 4th gear because my car started slowing down while and I had to pull over! im so sick of this model and after reading about others having the same issues its just ridiculous and dangerous! I got it checked and they said everything looked okay and they didn't find any issues. So cars just turn off by themself while driving for no reason?! fast forward to 2017, the engine light comes on for the first time and I take it to a Dodge dealership in killeen TX and I find out it was the thermostat and they told me there was nothing wrong and that I could drive to alaska and back with no issues. So I leave and a day later the engine light is gone like it was never there. And here it is 2018 and the damn engine light is back on again. I take it to firestone on base and guess what the hell they tell me?! you guessed right! the damn thermostat. At this point I'm just pissed and frustrated and they tell me I'm looking at a $500 fix and that this is a common issue with the Dodge Dart! why was I not told this when the car was purchased! OH and it gets better. On 25march2018 I was on the highway going about 60mph and you won't believe what happened. . . . Ding ding ding right again! my fucking piece of shit Dodge Dart turns the fuck off! I don't know if theres a damn recall or not but I know I'm not the only Dodge Dart owner who is having this issue and I should've been told about these dangerous ass problems before I poured my hard earned money into a goddamn deathtrap. I'm calling the dealership tomorrow to figure out what the fuck needs to happen. I'm not trying to die let alone have my babies in the damn car and something happen. Do not purchase any Dodge Darts if you want to live!.
The car shuts off while I am driving-shuts off at stop sign, traffic light, or if I am turning in.
Driving to work on interstate 696 driving through royal oak west bound, the engine just shuts off, and shows on the dash engine trouble and electric symbol as well, lucky I was in the left lane and was able to get over, but it has been doing this since I got the car , dealer states they fixed it 3 times still doing the same thing. I have all the papers work since it started at 5000 miles.
My knee hit the ignition key while driving to dallas and the engine shut down. I was able to pull the car over, figure out what happened and resumed my trip.
While driving in the morning in a neighborhood speed limit of 30, I decrease speed to come to a full stop and suddenly the vehicle shuts off engine power and power steering at approximately 10mph. Vehicle was unable to start until the 3rd attempt. Had the vehicle towed to dealer and they were unable to diagnose the issue until the vehicle stalled the 2nd time. They updated pcm/tcm, but still had stalling issues. This vehicle had stalled over 5 times and the dealer were not able to pin point the issue. My vehicle is now at approximately 15,400 miles. I feel like I'm on the edge and unsafe every time I get behind the wheel. Also had trouble with the automatic headlights not turning on and as well as the rear passenger windows not closing.
