2015 Dodge Dart: engine knocking or ticking

Filed Jun 10, 2026 · Transmission · FL

The recall is transmission cable. So my car is a ticking time bomb to fail to go into park, or fail while the car is parked. I need to use e-brake when parking, park on flat surfaces, wheels facing curb. Why do I have to live like that? Guess what i have a 30 degree angle of a driveway, (ill give you my address, photos to verify if you'd like) so I get to worry about it slipping out of park every night, or anywhere I go for that matter. You might think hey just park on the street. Ok I work hard to pay for a nice house and I should park on the street because there's no recall remedy? I should not have to operate my vehicle like this, it is unnecessary stress I carry around. Ive had this car since 2021 i absolutely love it, but this isnt right. If there is no transmission remedy I should get a complete new transmission. Or a dealership loaner until the remedy is available. Or one hell of a good deal on another Dart, i also like the Charger. Or something. Is anything I've said in this complaint unreasonable?

Dart recall I brought the dart in to do a reflash for my car to stop the harsh idle, choke and knock .also that the car shuts off from a rolling stop to acceleration after the reflash 2 days later the car continues to have the same problems several weeks later today 11/17/18 the car shut off as usual but in a intersection had to turn on the car and hope when putting it in drive the engine doesn't shutoff again in cold weather the vehicle has a knocking grind sound and occasionally will turn off if the idle drops low to 500 and then immediately applying little gas and the warm weather comes by or after first driven the grinding noise is gone but same issue when the idle drops to low the engine just does and battery light turns on the battery is good but this issue hasn't been fixed and when I went the said it's normal but they did a reflash

I started my vehicle this morning and it started rough and was surging. At takeoff the vehicle was driving strangly. Slowed to make a uturn, turned to the left slightly and my steering wheel locked, car shut down and was barely able to brake to slow down. I almost ran a man over trying to stop as I could not steer. The battery symbol popped up on the dash. I popped car in park. Removed key. Restarted vehicle and it took a good 5-10 seconds before turning over. There was hesitation upon start. After beginning to drive it seemed to be driving normally..this seems to be a bit of a ticking time bomb and a very large safety issue and seems to be a known issue across all models

Tl* the contact owns a 2015 dodge dart. While driving various speeds, the engine made a knocking sound and the vehicle operated roughly, jerked, hesitated, and did not immediately respond when the accelerator pedal was depressed. The vehicle was taken to a local unknown dealer where it was diagnosed that the vehicle was low on oil, although the contact stated that the vehicle was routinely taken to in for oil changes. The cause of the failure was not determined. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The failure mileage was 500.

I bought a 2015 dodge dart sxt with 32996 miles on it.got the car on 4-4-2017.I had it not even a month and it's been one thing after another with it.first it dont shift properly it gets to a high RPM then it shoot you forward at a fast speed.then a very bad knocking in the front end when you turn the wheel from left to right while parked.the dealership looked at it 3 times and couldn't diagnose it but did tell me it needs two up dates that would fix the shifting issue,then said I needed a new right shift axel and I asked them to check the right hub cause the other shop told me the hub was bad. Well they were right on that. So dodge fixed those things for me.then said my knocking was from the axel.two days later its still knocking I had another shop diagnose the knocking to it was the (rack and pinion).I took it back to dodge and told them and they argued and said no that's not it.two days later they ordered a rack and pinion.now the car has been stalling out on me,the shifting problem is back again.one the high way going 75 MPH there is a terrible noise coming from tire area along with a vibration that I feel on my feet coming from under the car.going around highway corners the back end feels like it's slides.all this with in 1 month of owning this car.this car is not and never will be safe for my kids and I,no matter how many times they try to fix it.I got invoices and everything document and I will be getting a lawyer for having to pay 15000 for a lemon when I told the dealership I wanted something else cause there is to many things wrong with it when it's only two years old.I was told no its to late I got all the messages saves on messenger from the sales men at the dealership.what do they expect me to do after the warranties up and it still has issues I can't afford that.I bought a new car so I didn't need to put money into it. This car is a lemon@iwillproveit
