2016 Dodge Dart engine complaints
Page 2 of 3: complaints 11 to 40 of 67, newest first, as owners wrote them.
On December 13, 2021 my 2016 Dodge Dart shut down while driving and would not start back up. Had it towed to a repair shop, they could not duplicate the problem. I contacted Chrysler and the agent who helped me said there is no known issues with this particular vehicle. I found at that was a lie with a little google search. Picked my vehicle up and immediately took it to the Dodge dealership. They checked the oil level and it was so low that the tech said that if it would have been driven much longer it would have completely disabled the engine. No oil light, oil was changed recently, no reason for this to have happened. Found out there was a campaign to update software to the PCM module so that was completed along with an oil change. This created a COMPLETELY unsafe situation, luckily there was very little traffic on the roadway at the time. Vehicles with this issue should be recalled or the engine needs to be replaced.
Major oil leak at the Turbo
The car stops unexpectedly. It smoked the other day. I don't know what fuel. The gas cap says 85 but the dealer never told me this. The lighting and inside above. Falls out like it has been tampered with. It doesn't run properly. Sometimes it just stops and won't stop. Like it's a bate car. Used by cops. But I wasn't informed when I was sold the car
The vehicle got too hot, almost all the electric system of the car had very little energy and blinked, the air conditioning takes a long time to work either to defog the windows, heat or cool. The radio is not working properly. Lights are not level. Emergency equipment is missing as well as an emergency repair tire. And also when I am driving it accelerates and brakes automatically and suddenly. Since I bought this car it has given me many mechanical problems
Multiple occurrence: car will stall while driving, losing brakes. The lights on dash will start flashing wildly and the wind shield wipers will start going on its own when turned off. Car will not start back again for a long while. The air system will not work-no heat or air conditioner, just stopped working. Very dangerous situation, car is unsafe. I'm not sure how it has a high rating in safety.
I own a 2016 gt dart with just over 37,000 miles on it. For the last two weeks I have been experiencing the engine shutting off while driving neighborhood speeds shortly after starting the car for the first time that day...from research and the symptoms I've been getting I believe it could be linked to the oil and oil change light. However, I've checked the oil levels and if anything there might be too much oil in the car. The oil life meter is in the single digits and the oil change light will not come on but should be at this point. I will hear like half a ding and it tries to come on the screen for a split second but that's about it here is an example of what will happen when the engine shuts off: 'start the car for the first time that day and the engine turns over fine 'drive out of my neighborhood on to the main road and get up to a speed of ~40mph 'while driving the engine shuts off, no longer able to accelerate, battery indicator dings and light turns on, and all electronics (radio, A/C...) remain on. 'I pull over (get flipped off and honked at - I love atl...), put the car in park, and turn everything off 'attempt to turn the engine back over, may take 5-10 seconds or 1 or 2 times (I have a push start) 'engine turns over and I never have another problem for the rest of the day
2.4-liter tigershark engine chrysler dodge automotives routinely overconsume oil, causing costly maintenance. The oil overconsumption also leads to low oil pressure, triggering a defect in the affected dodge dart vehicle to spontaneously shut off while in operation. This can occur in the middle of intersections or even on the freeway. Vehicle has no indicator to show actual remaining oil life to warn drivers of potentially sudden shut down. This has created an unsafe driving hazards. This is the second chrysler product I have had the same problem. The dealers are refusing to repair and keep extending the problem past warranty as they request oil consumption tests all the time and will not directly repair the issue. We have visited 3 different dealers, haze chrysler in gainesville, ga, troncoli chrysler in cumming ga, and now don jackson chrysler in cumming, ga. The dodge date has stopped running while in motion and also when stopped. This is in operation by my son, and as an inexperienced drive when he first received the car, it creates a greater threat to not know how to operate under the power loss. This problem has been happening several times over the years. He is not a high milage driver until college so it has become more obvios in the last 2 years.
Was driving and the engine stalled and cut off w/o warning in traffic due to low oil pressure. 2.4l engine consuming oil due to scarring of the cylinder walls from the pistons. I was told this by the mechanic at the service center. It was not that long between oil changes when this occurred.
I wrote this letter because I was concerned even more now that my 2016 dodge dart sxt is really consuming oil I keep adding oil even I just did a change oil I am really worried know it is stall me twice on the road, upon looking online I realize that there's a lot of people had to complain about the consumption oil and it's stall their vehicle on the road while driving which it happened to me the same thing so I want to inform you guys that I'm having the same problem with everybody else and I hope you guys fix the problem and get this thing done as soon as possible because I want my vehicle to be operate good every day for commute so please thank you

The car suddenly loses all power at random times. Has happened when driving and when at a full stop and has happened multiple times over the 2.5 years we owned the car. The car can be turned back on right away.
Tl* the contact owns a 2016 dodge dart. The contact stated while driving at 30 MPH, the vehicle stalled without warning. The contact stated that there was no oil in the engine. The contact's husband restarted the vehicle after oil was added. The contact mentioned engine oil was added each time prior to the vehicle being driven. The contact called local dealer towbin dodge llc located at (275 auto mall dr, henderson, nv 89014, (702) 558-3800) and was informed that the engine needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was not informed of failure. The failure mileage was approximately 88,784.
All the lights in the vehicle vent out, the digital dashboard the touch screen everything that lights up went out. The motor almost died and started to sputter. When I accelerate it has no power then it will take off then no power. When I am stopped the idle is so low it almost dies and the entire car shakes very hard. This started while I was driving at about 30 MPH.
Multiple times 4 to be exact my vehicle has shut down while driving with no warning. This seems to be an issue with many of these from my research. Once I was getting on an expressway and was almost hit another time was turning on a busy street almost being hit luckily I was not. The first time this happened I had the car about 3 months after purchasing new. The last time it happened was this september. The dealership has done nothing and says they know it happens but nothing they can do for it. Are they waiting for someone to be killed before dealing with this issue ?
I just had my oil changed at around 70,000 my car shut off on me while I was driving due to no oil my car was three quarts low and my car is at 72,942 just shut off no steering no nothing about caused a wreck because my car died in an intersection granted I have a manual so I was able to engage the clutch to keep rolling but the steering wasn't working so I wasn't able to get it pulled off the road safely now I didn't feel the need to check my oil due to the fact it wasn't leaking and it wasn't burning any oil that I smelt so after all this I call a tow truck get it back to my house let the engine cool while my engine is cooling I start doing some research on why it may have done this there's others with this same problem is someone gonna have to die before they decide to fix this issue now I could've had my kids in the car this morning and now I don't even wanna put them back in this car because of this

I have been taught to check my oil consistently. I bought my vehicle with 68,089. Checked oil and it was full. At 69,089 I checked oil and was 2 quarts low!! So I filled it and called dealership. They said they could do an oil consumption test but that it's normal for vehicles to burn oil( about 1 quart per 1000 miles. My vehicle burned double that. I did some research online to find that many other consumers with the same vehicle had the same problem ! Dodge should have a remedy for a very serious problem. Since filling I have burned 1 quart in 700 miles.

While driving the vehicle it will randomly have complete loss of power without warning and the battery light would turn on. The dodge dealer found a code u0415 ( ABS problem) and said because of that code engine shut off, $260 to fit that, but the problem still persist. This is the 3rd time after a fix that the car still randomly shutting off in a neighborhood speed 30mph. This is extremely dangerous and I am in disbelief nothing has been done about this. Are we waiting for someone to die to take action ?

After today's visit I stated to them that this will not happen again right, and I was told l cant promise you that, and that they do not know what is causing the problem. I said that I have seen on the internet reports of this happening to the same type of car and why is there not a recall .

After the car sits in the hot florida sun for about 8-10 hours from morning to about 2:30-3:00 the car starts fine and then I start driving and when I slow down to come to a stop, the car stalls. Then it starts back up again when I push the start button. This happens in florida summer, not during the "winter" months.
When my oil life goes below 35% the engine will shut of while I am driving. It mostly happens when making a turn. It does restart after about 2 minutes and cranking the engine.
My son parked the vehicle after driving it approximately 2 miles. He went into his dorm room and was informed shortly after that his car was on fire. The engine had ignited.
