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.

Car is stalling and cutting off while driving. Got an oil change. Car doesn't react to pushing on accelerator. Rpm rev after hesitating with foot on the gas. Car is shaking and running really hard. I believe its the transmission control module, which is common in dodge darts. Its been recalled, but not on my model. Stalled in the middle of an intersection. Had to restart car 3 times.

Consumption of oil. When oil is changed, I have to replenish oil at around 63-67% useage on several occasions until next oil change. There was previous leak repaired..no leaks but still burning oil. Also, sometimes when stopped then start excelerating, experience hesitation and a rattling or pinging sound. Also happens when I slow down turning at corner then excelerate. This has happened since I purchased over 1 1/2 years ago.

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

The problem with the vehicle is that the clutch pedal goes straight to the floor and stays there, the only way to get it to the up position is to reach down or use your foot. The master cylinder of the brake system was below the minimum line. No brake warning light or any other warning/caution. The clutch went to the floor. The incident happened I was on a 7 lane city street during rush hour traffic I was driving and everything was normal. I was the first vehicle in line when I try to start going the clutch felt like it was slipping in first gear which is highly unusual for my vehicle because first gear has always been very touchy.. Shift to second gear in the clutch once again was slipping and the engine reved the vehicle did not accelerate properly. I was able to get it to go and I made it to the next traffic light. I was the second car from the intersection. When the light turned green I released the clutch and the gear engaged imeadiatly with the gear in first, the vehicle lurched forward and kept doing that about three times until the vehicle stalled out. Pushing in the clutch pedal did nothing it's stay stuck to the floor. In the mirror I see that the vehicle behind me almost ran into me and almost caused a huge pile up behind me because of the hesitation of my vehicle I was not able to move the vehicle out of the lane without help from a fellow citizen that was dangerous in itself. Once I got the vehicle to a safe place pushing it I checked under the hood and I see that the brake fluid reservoir on the master cylinder was empty. I check the fluids in my vehicle at least twice a week . Where did all that fluid go? I have been without my vehicle for a week or two now due to trying to figure out what to do because the car has 40, 000 miles on it so its out of warranty.
