1 Engine Shut Off Without Warning problem

Failure Date: 12/29/2020

I own a 2016 gt Dart with just over 37,000 miles on it. For the last two weeks I have been experiencing the engine shutting off while driving neighborhood speeds shortly after starting the car for the first time that day. . . From research and the symptoms I've been getting I believe it could be linked to the oil and oil change light. However, I've checked the oil levels and if anything there might be too much oil in the car. The oil life meter is in the single digits and the oil change light will not come on but should be at this point. I will hear like half a ding and it tries to come on the screen for a split second but that's about it here is an example of what will happen when the engine shuts off: �start the car for the first time that day and the engine turns over fine �drive out of my neighborhood on to the main road and get up to a speed of ~40mph �while driving the engine shuts off, no longer able to accelerate, battery indicator dings and light turns on, and all electronics (radio, a/c. . . ) remain on. �I pull over (get flipped off and honked at - I love atl. . . ), put the car in park, and turn everything off �attempt to turn the engine back over, may take 5-10 seconds or 1 or 2 times (I have a push start) �engine turns over and I never have another problem for the rest of the day.

2 Engine Shut Off Without Warning problem

Failure Date: 08/07/2019

While driving the vehicle it will randomly have complete loss of power without warning and the battery light would turn on. The Dodge dealer found a code u0415 ( abs problem) and said because of that code engine shut off, $260 to fit that, but the problem still persist. This is the 3rd time after a fix that the car still randomly shutting off in a neighborhood speed 30mph. This is extremely dangerous and I am in disbelief nothing has been done about this. Are we waiting for someone to die to take action ?.

4 Engine Shut Off Without Warning problem

Failure Date: 11/04/2018

I have been recently having issue with my 2016 Dodge Dart which I have only had for exactly a year this past oct. While driving in motion the car can just shut off. It has happened while on city streets as well as highways. I have torn my car to get testing where there is no code found and no lights come back on once the car starts up. I was told my battery was no good a couple months back replaced the battery and now car troubles again. I have been reading a lot of reviews where this is happening to a lot of people. This is extremely dangerous and I am in disbelief nothing has been done about this. Are we waiting for someone to die to take action ??????.
