Engine Burning Oil Problems of Dodge Dart - part 2

Tiger shark multi-air 2 engine consumes 1qt oil per 1000 miles. I was unaware of this consumption issue and the oil went to low and engine is designed to shut off. This stalling has happen 3 times to and 1 to the dealership. None of the cars warning indicators come on when pressure is low the car just stalls. Dealership resolution watch oil level and there is fix for the consumption or any way for the warning lights to be triggered. So if I forget to check the oil I am gambling with my life and others on the road if the car stalls while on the highway.

Burning oil ever since we bought it, constantly having to add oil between oil changes. Dealership says its within specs. Contacted chrylser care about issues as well. Still has not been corrected. Very disappointed, a new car should not burn/consume 1 to 2 quarts of oil between oil changes.

Car stalled while operating under full power on the interstate. It took approx. 3 minutes and it finally restarted. Took car to dealership. They state car is not part of any recall based on VIN #. They state stalling was result of extremely low oil. However, the care has no leak and does not burn oil. It is synthetic oil and it simply break downs and dissipates. I don't believe them. This is the second time this car has done this and the first time they re-flashed the computer with a software patch to fix problem.

After numerous times the car has stalled in traffic, Dodge placed vehicle on an oil consumption study, the car failed the study and a new engine was placed in the car. The car went back to the dealer the next day due to metal to metal grinding in steering at the slightest hint of a turn or curve.

The contact owns a 2015 Dodge Dart. While driving various speeds, a beeping noise was heard coming from the instrument panel. The battery warning indicator illuminated and the vehicle stalled while in traffic. The vehicle restarted after the third attempt. The failure recurred each time the oil life reached between 30% or 40%. The vehicle was taken twice to the dealer (dave dennis, located in beaver creek, OH) where it was diagnosed that the oil was two quarts low. The vehicle was being tested for oil consumption. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 35,000.

I have a 2014 Dodge Dart that is burning oil at what seems to me to be an alarming rate. I have had my vehicle in the shop over 4 times. I am being told I have no leaks and my car is fine, and that it is characteristic that my car needs to have oil added every 2k miles. I drive my car to and from work and I rarely travel out of state. I am not over driving or rough driving my car by any means. I have spent over 1k dollars in rentals and repairs. I have a 3 year old son that I drive to daycare 4 days a week and I cannot mentally be comfortable driving my son in a car that stops in the middle of the road because its out of oil. Dodge has done nothing to help me and I am seeking legal action.

Dodge Dart gt 2015 suddenly shuts off. No warning lights only a dinging noise. Only 4200 miles on car the first time. Shut off 8 different times sense then. Took it to dealer was told out of oil. Car would shut off turning or stopping fast. Got oil change from dealer. Less than 4000 miles later same thing, car shut off and radio still on and dash lights working one ding noise. Turned onto busy road and Dart shut off, was scary for a few minutes fast traffic coming from behind, had to get off road quick. Oil not leaking in driveway. Tech at dealer said he saw this problem before and told me to watch my engine. Car has never maid to a 5000 mile oil change without shutting off. One time shut off after only 2540 miles sense last oil change. Dealer found no signs of leaks or signs of oil burning up. The 7th oil change they reprogrammed the oil sensor. Losing all my free oil changes to quickly. Now I'm 750 miles from due oil change and shut off again. I checked oil stick - bone dry. Put 2 quarts oil ( O2 20w) in , that got me to the bottom of low mark on stick. Car running ok to get to dealer again. Also checked oil gage in car, said:43% oil life remaining. That was a lie. Oil is always very low and engine hot but not overheating. Oil should be dirty and maybe a little low but not very very low. I want to make the car last 150 to 200 thousand miles with good care. Worried engine will not even get close. Got extended warranty. Car engine gonna blow up before it's time and blame me. Car shutting off with no warning and no oil, cant get to 5000 mile oil change. Had a 2013 Dart, loved it, traded in for 2015 with better warranty. Miss old Dart.

I purchased the car the last week of February. I began having car problems in mid March. I called the dealership and was scheduled to come in for service. Was told the software needed to be updated. Got car back and it stopped on me twice and had to be towed to the dealership. In may I was given a loaner car and was told my oil consumption was bad. Received car back in June and car was reposed for nonpayment. I got car out and it stopped again. In July the dealership then gave another loaner and told me my car will be a Chrysler buyback. From July to September never heard anything from Chrysler till sept 24 advising me to go to the dealership to choose another vehicle. Dealership did not know what I was talking about so we contacted Chrysler to get a clear understanding of what needs to be done. Was told to choose a car and they would take care of the registration and the paper work. Drove the 2015 Jeep renegade for almost a month and I checked in with the dealership once a week to find out if the paperwork was complete. First week of November was told by dealership to bring back the Jeep and my 2015 Dart was repaired. I was told to register the Dodge Dart and then I could get the Jeep back.

Car wouldn't start had to replace the starting harness within the first 3 months of owning the car had to replace two batteries even after the harness was replaced but hasn't happened since. Had to replace the turbo hose assembly from pulling in oil and cracked since the oil was hot. Now im having to put in a quart of oil in it every month and I change my oil every two and half months (5,000 miles) so my engine is burning the oil off to quickly (oil consumption). Also drove hit a very small pothole and had my driver side control arm snap very very cleanly and was told that it wouldn't be covered under any warranties.

I had to take my vehicle in for service in August of 2014 because my vehicle completely turned off on me while at a red light. When I turned the vehicle back on, my transmission engine light came on. So I immediately took my vehicle to the dealership and they told me I had a transmission issue and they had to order a part for the transmission. I had to take my vehicle in for service again in February of 2015 because my vehicle turned off on me once again while stuck in traffic on the expressway. When I turned on my vehicle the transmission engine light came back on. Again, I took my vehicle to dealership, I was told that my vehicle was again having the same issue from the previous months before. Once again I had to take my vehicle in for service on may of 2015 because my vehicle turned off on me for the third time while at a stop light but this time my vehicle started to smell like it was burning oil. When I turned on my vehicle, my oil pressure light came on. When my car was being looked at, they told me that they did not find anything wrong with my vehicle and they also stated that " something worse had to happen to my vehicle for them fix the problem. " they test drove my vehicle and they did not find anything wrong with the vehicle so it was returned to me. Something is definitely wrong with this vehicle if it keeps on shutting off on me while waiting at a red light and also smelling like burning oil and for them to tell me that nothing is wrong with my car this last visit is really upsetting. All of these scenarios have happened in less than a year of purchasing my vehicle. This is very scary and something needs to be done before this causes a crash or possibly death! I sent a letter to Chrysler about this situation, and they told me that there is nothing they can do because there is no recall on my vehicle. This is so sad.
