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.
