While driving this car at multiple speeds, the car slows down and comes to a complete stop, I hear a noise and the gas pedal vibrates, the steering and gas pedal locks up. This event has happened 3 times within four days leaving from my garage, on the interstate and a city street. The car was taken to the dealership lakeland chrysler dodge jeep ram and I was told the car was driven by the technician 11 miles and there was no incident and at this point the car can no longer be driven due to a gash in the tire. However, a multi-point inspection, oil change and tire rotation was done on the vehicle 8/22/2017 and a gash in the tire was not noted on any paperwork nor was it reported as a problem.

Tl* the contact owns a 2016 dodge dart. While driving 25 MPH on a rainy day, the windshield wipers failed to work without warning. The vehicle was taken to the dealer (eastchester chrysler jeep dodge ram located at 4007 boston rd, bronx, ny 10466; (718) 547-5500) where it was diagnosed and repaired, but the contact was not sure of the specific repairs. The contact stated that the failure recurred two other times. While driving in the rain, the windshield wipers failed to stop without warning. The contact stopped the windshield wipers by disconnecting the battery. The vehicle was taken to the same dealer where it was diagnosed that the body control module needed to be replaced. The vehicle was repaired again. The manufacturer was not contacted. The approximate failure mileage was 5,000.
The car shakes very uruptly at idle. You can look at the engine and see it's shaking at idle. If you turn the air conditioner on it gets worse. Radio screen will not work sometimes. Blue tooth will work then cut off then turn back on when it feels like it. Automatic headlights work then randomly not work where I have to turn them manually on. Wipers do the same as the headlights but to correct the issue for the wipers it takes turning off the car and turning it back on and out them on low. Engine will die randomly while driving the car at any speed. Gps will not load sometimes. The back up camera works when screen works but also fails when screen is working and while backing up. During take off the car will stall like no gas then it will go like it's getting gas. During cold it shifts really rough like your using a standard slamming it in gear. I have also has 2 misfire in 2 different cylinders. One was a coil pack the other was supposedly a loose connection. Took car in for all this and dealer said if their is no check engine nothing they can do even though they feel the car chair and can see the engine shaking. They tell me to come back in when light comes on. Light switch has been replaced and still faults. Ecm and TCM habe been reprogrammed multiple times and problems still consist.

Re: s83 / the federal safety agency 16v‑813 voltage spike in windshield washer pump. Took 2016 dart to local dealership for recall work on 3/8/17. Upon return of my vehicle, noticed an electrical arc sound, a loud bumping sound, when engaging the 'flash headlights' feature. The electrical arc sound never occurred prior to the recall work. The sound emits from under the hood where the head lamps are located. When I went back the next day to inquire about the new sound, the dealership tried three new darts on the lot that make the same noise. My complaint is to question the safety of the replacement part as prescribed by the recall notice. The dealer said it was normal, but this electrical arc sound has never occurred on any car I've ever been around during my 55 years. I want the federal safety agency to look into if the replacement part used on my car and put in darts manufactured recently is actually safe. Is the electrical arc noise by design or does it indicate a need to recall the replacement part to avoid safety problems such as malfunction or fire?
This 2016 dart gt has been in for service 13 times since it was purchased in march. The body connector has corroded twice and been replaced along with several corroded wires. The telematics module was also replaced after it tested inconsistent and working only 20% of the time (this is for the uconnect and bluetooth). If you hit 10mph sometimes it likes to accelerate without even touching the gas! While starting the car it now likes to say the keyfob has not been detected even when the key fob is right by the keyless start. The wireless receiver was replaced but it said key fob not detected again. This will make service visit #14! This car has serious computer/electrical issues. The keyfob not being detected issue could be deadly if it does it while the car is being driven and makes the car inoperable.
My 2016 dodge dart overheats the RPM goes up and down when the car is in motion. On june 26 my car cut off on me in the middle of the road and it took me ten mins to start it up my check engine light keeps going on and off and every time I take it in they say its nothing wrong with it. My oil pressure light comes on and I have 100 percent oil in my car. When I put on brakes it acts like it doesnt want to stop so ihave to brake farther away from peoples cars.
On a city street, tried to accelerate at a stop light with the brake on. Would not accelerate turning left in oncoming traffic.intermittenly (hops) in motion exiting a highway, upon braking I traffic, stopped at a traffic light and in the driveway with the key removed. Tachometer has redlined (6500 RPM + ) moving in traffic at 46 MPH on level road and upon take off from a red light. Tachometer has revved to 5500 RPM's on the down side of a hill when on cruse control multiple times when on the highway. The car has jerked severely driving down the highway at approximately 70 MPH.intermittently the climate control has difficulty in making a decision on the selection I made and has taken approximately 5 min before the air ( fan ) will engage. All dash lights have flashed when the key fob was pushed to unlock the doors. The auto door locks have failed to lock properly and engaged at 40 MPH. The list is longer but my feeling is it is a computer problem and service says there is no code so no problem found. It has been in service 6 times that have been documented. My fear is this car is so defective and is going to kill me and possibly others if the computer fails with the steering or braking.the issues started @ 500 miles on the car, it now has 1900.
