My Dodge Dart with 2.4L engine was recalled for excessive oil consumption. On 09/09/2021 the vehicle was brought in for service and I was told the PCM was to be reprogrammed and that would fix the excessive oil consumption issue. I am now 3,000 miles after the PCM repair and I am still burning a quart of oil. I called the dealer, O'Daniel Automotive Group in Fort Wayne Indiana, on 01/28/2022 to speak with a service rep and was told they weren't available and I would get a return call. Today is 02/05/2022 and no one has returned the call.

I have had so many problems with this vehicle. I have had to replace two coils, had the air conditioner fixed, had to replace my rear shocks, which caused me to have to buy two new rear tires, the windshield wiper motor was replaced, my car was burning oil until I got a recall for that. Now my blower fan for the heater is not working, I only have 66000, miles on this car. All these issues could really cause dangerous problems. When my 1st coil went out I couldn't get my car restarted in the middle of town. When the 2nd coil went out my car would barely move and this happened before I got the recall for the engine oil problem. Now I will have to repair the blower fan because the defroster and heat aren't working.

While driving down my street and accelerating, the car stalled out. No warning lights on dash. Had a hunch and checked the oil. It was nearly bone-dry. Added two quarts and it appears to be functioning normally. I believe the issue to be excessive oil consumption. With the lack of warning light, and just unusual occurrence, I could have been killed. I'm just glad I wasn't on the freeway (as other dart owners I've talked to have been).

My 2015 dodge dart with 2.4l engine consumes large amounts of oil. I have to check the oil an add frequently to maintain a safe level. (up to 1 quart every 2,000 miles) I have owned this car from july 2018 to the present day and have had to check the oil level weekly to keep it from dropping below the safe mark. This is a major hassle and worry.

No oil light on, no engine light, and it stalled. There is a problem with oil consumption with the 2.4 engine. My car died after backing out of my driveway and starting a turn. Y car stalled out twice in the middle of intersections very dangerous. Battery light came on, music continued, but enginge just died. The steering wheel froze (no more power steering), and I couldn't press my brake down, it just sat there in the road. I checked the level of my oil and it doesn't even cover the curved part of the dipstick, that's how low it is.the car stalled out again, a few months after the oil change. The car is not indicating when it needs oil, and is shutting itself off so it doesn't over heat while driving at speeds 70mph+ and in the middle of intersections while turning.

The car is using oil and will completely die while driving. When it becomes empty if I come to a stop it will completely die and I lose all power steering and the car struggles to turn back on. Dodge is aware of this issue on so many darts and nothing is being fixed. This engine needs to be recalled! Twice between oil changes this last time I have been completely empty. This has happened since the very beginning that I had the car.

Car will cut off going down road and will not crank back for at least 3 min. I have almost been hit by other traffic on various occasions. This started back in july 2016.dealership says it's a safety to keep car from blowing up when it has low oil. The car burns excessive amounts of oil. Problem is I have oil changed on a regular schedule and between oil changes to prevent car from cutting off in middle of the road I have to put any where from 15 to 25 quarts of oil in. It's getting worse. It's not leaking anywhere. Also sometimes out of no where with my foot not on accelerator it seems to accelerate on it's on. The car also hesitates on takeoff often.
