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.

I'm just glad I wasn't on the freeway (as other Dart owners I've talked to have been).

The car only has about 80,000 miles on it and the 2013 and 2014 all have brake problems and online alot of people complain about 2015 brakes and airbags.

I was notified on 04/18/2019 of the manufacturer safety recall issued NHTSA #19v-293 #v34 2013-2016 Dodge Dart pf shift cable bushing. It is now 08/18/2019 4 months later and there is still no remedy available. While I have not had a mishap and the part has not failed yet I fear it is only a matter of time.

Takata recall - my airbag light has come on and will not go off. Along with the swiggly road light. No one understands why they are on. The other issue being the shifter cable of the car, I have used my shifter and the car does not actually shift in motion on the highway. My breaks, however, did work so I used them. I believe this was unsafe because on the highway people drive very fast. If I was trying a manual Dodge Dart I would not have been able to stop. After this happened I stopped using the manual shifter while driving. When I put my car in park or reverse however it shifts very abruptly. This has happened for a while now but I thought it was because my foot wasn't on the brake hard enough but it continued to happen.
