After receiving my car from the dealership the engine light came on so I contacted them about it and he hooked it up tp machine told me to watch for the light again and let him know. I dont drive my car much so it was about a week later when I noticed the engine light again so I took it to oreilley's and the code p2096 which is fuel to ratio which has been a problem more then I can count. My car always smells like gas fumes that's why I try not to drive it unless I can keeps windows down because the smell is very strong. I was driving today and it kept stalling and when ii would start to go from a dead stop once it shifted into 2nd it would jerk real hard like the transmission is messed up again. The light of course comes back on after they clear ut out and it may have same code or it may be different each time. I am tired of risking my life and others because no one wants to do anything about this problem I've had for 6 years now and have so many odi complaints with NHTSA and complaints with fca I could have my own car complaint website. I would love to have them take my car in for testing of quiality of cars and prove to everyone this was a lemon car no if, ands, or butts about it. There is 1 in however many cars that are lemons and this is one of them. 550 days in the shop being fixed that many times that for more then an entire year my car was being worked on. Should that be enough or is someones life gonna be what opens eyes. I've got ,more documents to show the many many problems I have had and have passed them along to my attorney so if something happens in result of this unsafe car there will be action taken.

Car spontaneously stalled in highway driving. Seems to be a known issue. 2013 Darts were actually recalled over the issue. Incredibly dangerous. Dodge should be required to recall the 2014s just like they recalled the 2013s.

2014 Dodge Dart purchased new. Was driving vehicle on city street and came to stop and car just stalled on me with no warning which was very scary. Vehicle would not stop stalling so took to dealership and the technician said it would cost at least a thousand to take car apart as they believe it is a internal engine problem. It sucks cause now my car is out of warranty and by doing some searching looks like this is not a new problem to Dodge but nothing was ever done about it. My car is in great condition with only 60,000 miles.
The car stalls while driving at below highway speeds, eg crossing an intersection in suburban new jersey. The engine cuts out, random messages on the information center appear, and the drive must coast to a stop and restart the car. It's unpredictable and intermittent, with no obd code to help dealer diagnose or replicate. The cause is presently unknown despite dealer effort.
On numerous occasions I have gotten into my vehicle, started it and drove off. Now, if I do not let it warm up for a few minutes and get in and start it and take off, it will stall out when I slow down or come to a stop on a few occasions this has happened leaving my driveway on a blind hill, almost getting me hit in the drivers door. Yesterday, 2/12/2020, this again happened and it stalled out on me two times, once while turning around leaving me sideways across the road. It has happened at very busy intersections, it is just random. I feel it needs to be looked into. I did look it up and see numerous people are reporting the same issues.

I have a 2016 Dodge Dart sxt that I bought over a year ago when it had 20, xxx miles on it, it now has 46,xxx miles on it, it does the weirdest thing, I will be driving it and it just dies and doesn't want to start back up until a couple minutes later, it is embarrassing and a traffic hazzard to be stalled in the middle of an intersection or at a stop light, it has been doing this off and on since I bought the car, it is very dangerous, it wasnt until recently that I realized that this is happening every time that my oil change percentage is at 25% or below, so I googled the problem I am having and it is a common issue with these cars , they are consuming oil in between oil changes to the point the engine is 1 to 2 quarts low and a sensor detects that and is stalling the engine to protect it, does this car not have an oil light to detect when the oil is low? how is the way they have this set up legal? they need to recall these cars and fix the engine before someone dies !.

Car stalled while driving on a on ramp to the freeway. I pulled over and tried to start it. It sounded like it was trying to turn over by itself for a good 10 seconds.

The car just will randomly stall. No indication it is going to do this. This car is unsafe. I am to the point I hate driving it. I took it to shop and everyone says nothing is wrong with it. This has happened multiple times. I have only owned the car since 5/19.
While driving my vehicle, it stalled. While driving! completely shut off. Lost powering steering, brakes. Battery light came on, but lights and radio was still on. Tried to start it up multiple times until finally at the fifth try it stated and drove like nothing ever even happened.
Twice while driving my car has just completely stalled and lost power. Both times I was slowing to a stop. Other times it feels as it it will stall but doesn�t. It has caused two minor accidents at a stop sign due to the stalling. The other event happened at 50,0000 miles in June. I took car to dealership, no codes came up.
The car stalls while driving and does not restart immediately. The dealer changes my oil every 5,000 miles. It appears to stall every 3-4,000 miles. The solution for the dealer now is to bring my car in every 1,000 miles. This seems excessive and is not a solution to this dangerous problem? sometimes the engine turns off when I'm in traffic or traveling on a busy street. This has been happening since I purchased the car new in 2014. It's only been serviced by the dealer.
