The car dies while driving. Check engine light goes on. Will start back up but just dies and code read doesn't explain why or what might be needed. Have replaced battery, thermostat even though never ran hot, and oil+filter. Has gas.

The car stalls. . . Normally after slowing down & turning. Transmission inoperable code along with check engine light. Very dangerous.
My car cut off twice this morning, and almost didn't crank back up. Then my check engine light came on, so I took it by o�reilly to get the engine tested. It showed that my throttle actuator control was bad. Prior to this it seemed like sometimes when I tried to change gears that it was sticking or something. It was almost as if it was switching gears properly. To top it off, I've had to replace all of my tires once, and a couple of them twice. Now today it appears I'll have to replace the back two a third time. This is absolutely ridiculous!!! I've been wondering if they just didn't let me know that the tires they were putting on were bad tires, possibly recall tires. I'm wondering because I've replaced tires way too many times, and one of the last times I went they told me they no longer had the type of tires that were on my car, because they decided to stop buying that brand. When I asked why, he fumbled around that and told me the place they (dealership) got them from (pep boys) no longer used those complaints.

Again here I am with a check engine light on and my car is bucking and unsafe!!! I will bring it in tomorrow but I bought a tool that reads codes here are the codes p0352 error ignition coil b primary/ secondary circuit malfunction. And cylinder 2 misfire unsafe to drive. This happened while driving. You just picked up the car for same thing on June 10!!!!! less than 10 days and it is acting up again. Do you want me to get into a bad accident. Because I am scared to death to drive my car. This is about 6th time in less than 6 months for same issues.
Dodge Darts of this model year including mine have a problem with the turbocharger. Problems within the setup create a "turbo underboost" condition, which prompts a check engine light, and throws the car into limp mode. This is often accompanied by a lack of power from the engine and a rough idle, or stalling at idle. In my case it happened while I leaving a city, and I did not have the power to accelerate to highway speed. After pulling over and re-starting the car, this issue is temporarily resolved. This is such an issue with this model year that there is a north America wide back-order on the new-turbo with this issue corrected. For many like me, this expense is out-pocket or for a lucky few, still covered by factory warranty. I believe that the frequency and severity of this issue warrants a recall and proper fix if the turbocharger setup. The issue is corrected on 2014+ model years, which is an indication that fca was aware of the issue.
Since March 2019 check engine light has come one 3 times. My car has either stalled in middle of intersection and/or has a bucking sensation and then check engine turns on. This is unacceptable that it keeps occurring. One time they replaced battery, next time recall v34 and again today. There has to be something going on with this model. I do not feel safe. This happens while I am driving.
Check engine light always on reads under boost for the turbo, does not pick up speed at all for having a turbo.
Air bag lights is on check engine lights car running hot fam turning in wrong directions I keep putting brake fluid in once a week heat come on m off when it feel like it tire lite I keep spending money for tires head rest is not normal it pushes my neck out when I'm driving now my neck n back hurts.
I have had my 2016 Dodge Dart for 2 years and 5 mos and this is the third time the check engine light has come on and the car seems like it wants to stall out and has problem getting power and has a pulling effect when going at regular speed, I have taken it to the dealer to replace a coli on it already; I didn't expect to have any issues with a brand new car so soon and having to pay for replacing a coil which was quite pricey to do but I did because I don't have any other means of transportation and also because the original Chrysler part was on back order for several months; I don't feel that I should have to pay for these repairs being that my car is only 2 years old; and I now am having the same issue again and probably going to have to pay again to have same problem fixed; very unhappy with owning a Dodge vehicle :).

As driving down the road after about a mile from home my car would no longer move but glide along. The engine was shut off and I had no control over speed. You can step on the gas and it will not move. Rpm's drop and the motor turns off in drive. After this happens the car hesitates to start but will. There is no check engine light on and all statistics for the car were as they should be. The battery is showing correct voltage. The cause is unknown.
Takata recall. Car started fine drove about a 1/2 mile and turned them vehicle just died. Engine stopped dead in its tracks, ax still blowing just a little warm, radio continues to play, all lights are on as normal. But battery light is flashing. Put car in park in the middle of the road!! to restart, car starts right up and drives fine. No check engine light or any signs of problems.
While vehicle was in motion and I proceeded to make a right hand turn the vehicle stalled out causing me to shift the gear into park before starting the vehicle back up. But as I tried starting the vehicle it hesitated to start and I had to wait a moment maybe three to seven minutes before I was able to get the vehicle started again only to have it stall out again while making another right hand turn. I also noticed the interior lights flashing on the dash as well as a blinking check engine light appearing.
Car stalled in the middle of a public street several times and wouldn't start at times before it finally just left me stranded. During these times there was no error on the screen letting me know what the problem was so I just kept trying to drive it. Then after awhile the check engine light turned on a few times but it was at random times and did not stay on. The car only has 18000 miles and I've only had it for 2 years. The dealer replaced the battery but did not check to see what was causing the battery to die so quick. They just told me that I don't drive it enough and that I stop and start it too much because I work too close to home. . . (this is not my first car and that's never happened before). This was not the first time I had this car serviced. The entire first year I kept getting an error that the tire pressure was too low and I was told that it was just an issue with the computer system but I had to replace the tires right away on a brand new car. So it's also had issues with the tires/wheels on a brand new car. People buy new cars to avoid these problems!.
I have had the car for one year and six months bought the car brand new and this us the third time the check engine light has come on and the car acts as if its going to die out. The place where I purchased the vehicle from fixed and stated that the coils were bad. Now I'm having the same issue again. The reason wht I bought a new vehicle was to avoid issues such as this. I traded in a 2011 vehicle that I had bought used had it for five years and never had ant check engine light issues nor any other issues.
I was driving on freeway and check engine light came on. Next day took it to local shop and read code p0299 turbocharger under boost. Was told turbo needed to be replaced. Called Dodge and got an estimate of about $1500 to replace the turbo. Would not cover under warranty.
Takata recall this 2014 Dodge Dart aero has now had multiple problems with the clutch and axles. It is currently in the shop to have the slave cylinder for the clutch as well as the axles fixed for the second time in 2 years. They are also in the process of checking in to why the check engine light came on for the mass air flow sensor. This makes 2 times that it has gone to the shop for clutch and axle issues. They also don't know what the real problem is for the check engine light. I have asked them to buy the car back and they wont. They also stated that I may be having to pay some out of pocket to get my car fixed this time. This car is nothing but problems. Like I mentioned before; twice for the clutch and axles, the engine light is on for a reason they don't know other that they think it is the mass air flow sensor, the third time I took it to Dodge for an oil change they told me that no oil came out of the engine and then tried to explain to me that my engine was "known" to do that. Now I have just gotten off the phone with the manufacturer customer service and they replied with they will cover all the costs except for $100. Seems kind of odd to settle on that amount. Plus they wont buy it back. Therefore, this car is known to have clutch and engine problems and Dodge expects me to drive around not having to worry about if my life is at risk. I should also mention that the tires that came on the car were faulty as well as I had to replace two of them already. The bands on the inside of the tire came loose and caused problems with the driving as well. This is junker car that I purchased new and Dodge could care less that it is falling apart.
I started having issues with my Dart 2 years after I bought it, tcm lost communication while traveling 70+ mph down highway had to tow car. Had tcm flashed(repair 1), drove 2-3k mile more, happened again, brought it to a different dealership said they replaced tcm (repair 2, before tcm recall was issued. ) about 10k miles later had to bring it back, had tcm flashed again (repair 3), about 10k miles later tcm has problem again while traveling 40+ miles down a very busy city street and need to tow vehicle, this new dealership replaced tcm again (repair 4 after tcm recall is issued, 4k miles later car is now throwing check engine lights for bcm, and pcm which I am told is connected to the tcm. I am in the process of filing a lemon law claim against Chrysler, a three year old car that I paid almost $30,000 should not cause so much stress. I cannot allow my family to be in danger, I have been lucky that neither issue resulted in a car accident. Chrysler needs to buy my vehicle back. I do not wish to talk to them about servicing the vehicle again, or trading them for a newer vehicle as they have lost my trust as a company.
Bought a 2014 Dodge Dart 2 years. Had no problems with it till recently when car started to shut off while running in motion. I lost power steering control and power to the whole car. Incident happened on four different occasion. Three times on residential road and once on freeway. Completely a safety issue and has put my life in danger multiple times. Electronic throttle control, electronic stability control light, and check engine light turned on. Contacted Chrysler Dodge and their solution was to have me tow car to dealership and pay to have car serviced even though car is still under warranty. Car has put my life and the life of other people in danger multiple times and the company seems to not care even after contacting them formally with complaint.
My 2016 Dodge Dart overheats the rpm goes up and down when the car is in motion. On June 26 my car cut off on me in the middle of the road and it took me ten mins to start it up my check engine light keeps going on and off and every time I take it in they say its nothing wrong with it. My oil pressure light comes on and I have 100 percent oil in my car. When I put on brakes it acts like it doesnt want to stop so ihave to brake farther away from peoples cars.
Problems since day 1 with my 2013 Dodge Dart. The clutch would stick in and I would have to pop it up with my foot. I would take my car in and even left it for a couple days and they just told me they couldn't reproduce the problem. And the "specialist" said what I was telling them about the clutch was impossible! so I started videoing and posting my clutch issues on youtube. The radio switches stations by itself, it goes off or won't come on. I've had the radio replaced and it still does the same thing! I've had battery issues with the battery draining and ultimately being replaced. The cruise control works about half the time. Dealership ended up replacing the clutch, had my car back 2 days and the clutch went out again. June 11th 2015 took my car in immediately when the rear brake started sticking. They had my car two days and said they adjusted the brake but couldn't reproduce the sound I heard coming from my rear passenger tire. So two weeks go by and I take my car back again demanding they take another look at it. By now the right rear caliber is stuck in and has ruined my rotor and brake pad. Later my car starts spitting and sputtering. Take it to the dealership and they said the only thing they could find wrong is the air flow pipe to the turbo was loose and they tightened it. I decided to go to a new mechanic, he said one of my ignition coils blew. 8 months later my car starts doing the same thing and my mechanic says another ignition coil blew. And he cannot get one for my exact car because they are all on back order with Dodge! he also informs me that there are 3 computers in my car and they are not talking to each other. It took them a while to figure out it was the ignition coil because the computer did not alert that to their tester. Now my check engine light is on again and after 3 technicians looked at my car they said I need a new turbo.
The contact owns a 2015 Dodge Dart. While driving 70 mph, the vehicle stalled and the check engine light illuminated. The contact coasted the vehicle over to the side of the road. The contact restarted the vehicle and resumed driving. The vehicle was taken to a dealer where it was diagnosed that the vehicle was not configured properly and the oil pressure switch needed to be replaced. The vehicle was repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The failure mileage was 17,398.
Tl-the contact owns a 2013 Dodge Dart. The contact stated that the vehicle has stalled and the check engine light is on. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was not made aware of the issue. The failure mileage was 45,000. Ad.
As I was driving, I slowed and braked for other vehicles at a traffic light. As I started to re-accelorate, I realized the car had stalled. When I got the car re-started, it was running very rough and the check engine, the traction control and the cruise control lights were all lit and/or flashing. After I got home, I decided to take it back to the dealer. This time, the car drove fairly normally with only the check engine light on. This is the third time this has happened in only 3600 miles. (the first time was at approx. 280 miles and the second time was at about 500 miles. ) the dealer's service writer implied since this car has an electronic throttle control, it was my driving style at fault. I have driven several other cars with electronic throttles for several years (my previous car had 120,000 miles on it) and this is the only time anything like this has happened.
When we are driving the car, it will start to shudder when the check engine light comes on and within a minute the abs system will turn on. When the abs system turns on, you can actually feel the braking trying to stop the car. This has happened at all different speeds, from 20 to 30 mph up to highway speeds at 70 mph. You cannot shut of the abs system with the safety switch when it turns itself on. We have pulled over, turned the engine off and restarted the car. This does not always seem to work. We have turned off the abs system when we have started the car, but the computer in the engine will override this and has turned it back on. When that happens, it starts to try braking again while we are driving down the road. We have had the car back to the dealership several times trying to get this resolved, but they have not been successful in solving this problem. The dealership has called Chrysler to find out what to do about this problem. They were told to change the ignition coil power pack, which they did. When the car was returned to us, it started this same problem again. The last time we took it in (April 2015) the dealership kept it for two weeks and was unable to recreate the problem. Since that time it has done this to us twice, but before we could get it to the dealership for repair, it corrected itself. Has anyone else had this problem?.
While driving, the car sounds an audible alert, the check engine light goes on, and displays "service transmission" on the car's dash/display. When this happens, the car drops into neutral and I do not have access to any gears. Attempting to shift into neutral and back into drive displays a "gear not available" message on the car's dash/display. The car had to be towed to the dealer, or if I power the car down and start it back up, I can get the gears back, but the check engine light remains on and the car does not shift properly and the car is sluggish. This car is the 1. 4l turbo with a dual dry clutch transmission. This problem has happened three times now within the last 1. 5 months. The first time, the dealer did a "refresh" on the computer and stated that the computer had to "relearn" the transmission. The second time (12/09/2014) the dealer said the transmission control module needed to be replaced. The third time occurred today (12/16/2014) and it is at the dealer now waiting on someone to look at it. Today when this happened, it was very difficult to get my car across three lanes of traffic and onto the shoulder of a major highway in new jersey. This almost caused an accident which would have resulted in serious injury as it would have involved a motor vehicle accident with an 18-wheeler semi-truck.
On the interstate driving 80mph, went to accelerate and the car just revved up to 7500rpm, like it was in neutral. Checked the gear shift and tried again with only getting the car to rev. Pulled over to the side of the road and turned the car off for about 10 minutes, turned it back on it acted like the transmission wasn't catching. Not once did it show any check engine light or any other warnings. Had it towed to the dealership where it took them 2 days to replicate the problem and then it finally turned on the check engine light. It has been being repaired for over a week now because no one seems to know what exactly is wrong with it even though it had a check engine light for the transmission control module.

I started having headaches shortly after purchasing the vehicle (2013 Dodge Dart). The headaches continued to worsen, so I finally went to the doctor, had CT scan and was finally diagnosed with having migraines. I wasn't aware that it was the car until it was in the shop for repair for recirculating air issues and I didn't drive it for a week (December 2014). Once we received the car back from the dealership (not fixed) I was really sick (horrible migraine) the next day due to the fumes. I haven't rode in the car since December 19, 2014. I haven't had a migraine since around December 20-21, 2014. The car was dropped off on January 2, 2015 by my husband because the check engine light came on and to have the recirculate air fixed. The vehicle was ready on January 8, 2015 but was not picked up until January 9, 2015. On January 9, 2015, my husband picked the car up and drove it around for little while. He then went to pick our daughter up from school and she begin coughing immediately because the recirculate air went out again. I have contacted Dodge customer service several times regarding this vehicle and to no avail. I contacted them today (January 9, 2015) and they wanted us to drive the car back to the dealership for repair. I guess they want the fumes to cause someone to pass out along the way. Dodge customer service is having a case manager review my complaint, however, I am stuck with a vehicle that I cannot drive. I contacted the the lienholder to surrender the vehicle on March 5, 2015.
While accelerating the vehicle began to randomly sputter/hesitate. Check engine light illuminated with fault code (p0352) and continued to sputter/hesitate during acceleration process. After diagnosis it appears the engine's ignition control system is failing and has been for some time. According to dealership, this is not covered outside basic warranty or any known recall.
I have had my 2013 Dodge Dart only 2 years and am so frustrated with the purchase. It has been in the shop several times with multiple issues. Just yesterday I had to put it in the the shop to have the navigation system fixed. The dealership stated there was not a problem that I needed to subscribe to the navigation service. Are they kidding me, I called Chrysler and they said it was a faulty unit, due to the fact it goes completely out with a white screen and it just does not work. The check engine light comes on constantly, the engine is running rough. I have already had to replace the battery at my cost of $150. 00 not happy about that one. The speedometer is incorrect, the interior light rattles and drives me crazy on long trips. I have had to taken it in for several front end alignments at my cost. It just will not stay aligned, its so frustrating and costly. But the real scary item is when it felt like I was in neutral while driving and had low to no engine power while driving, I slowly pulled over to the side of the ride and turned the key off and the engine was still going, I took the key out of the ignition and it was still cranked. I am praying that they get these cars off the road and put them in a buy back program because they are a danger to the public. I am so upset and disappointed with my Dodge that I will not purchase another.
