STARTED HAVING ISSUES WHEN I STARTED LEASING IT IN 2014.IT HAS BEEN TAKEN INTO THE DEALERSHIP AT LEAST 7 TIMES NOW, DUE TO STALLING OUT. EVERYTIME I TAKE IT IN,ITS BECAUSE OF THE SAME ISSUE.IT STALLS OUT AT ALL TIMES,WHETHER IT BE PULLING OUT OF MY DRIVEWAY IN THE MORNING,TURNING SLOWLY AROUND THE CORNER,DRIVING ON A LOCAL SIDE STREET GOING 30 MPH, WHEN I STARTED TO BRAKE BEFORE A SPEED BUMP, GOING 60 MPH ON THE HIGHWAY, I CAN KEEP GOING. EACH TIME I HAVE BEEN GIVEN THE RUN AROUND, PROBLEM CAN'T BE DUPLICATED, SO LETS GUESS. PCM REPLACED A COUPLE TIMES AS WELL AS THE FLASH UPDATES PERFORMED, PCV VALVE REPLACED MULTIPLE TIMES AND IT STILL STALLS OUT. HAVE EVEN HAD TO PAY FOR A BATTERY BECAUSE THEY STATED THAT WAS THE ISSUE BEFORE AND IT WASN'T SO I HAD TO PAY FOR A BATTERY WHEN I COULD HAVE USED THAT MONEY FOR SOMETHING ELSE AS I AM IN A TIGHT BUDGET AS IT IS. AS OF TODAY, THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALERSHIP, AGAIN, (I HAVE BEEN TO TWO DIFFERENT DEALERSHIPS AS WELL) AS OF TODAY, MY PCV AND MAP SENSOR REPLACED, AGAIN. I WAS TOLD FROM AN INDIVIDUAL FROM CORPORATE THAT HE TOLD THE DEALERSHIP HE WANTED THEM TO KEEP THE VEHICLE TO TRY TO REPLICATE THE ISSUE. APPARENTLY THAT WAS NOT DONE WHICH I WILL CERTAINLY BE ADDRESSING WITH HIM AND REQUEST BE DONE.SINCE THE FIRST TIME I BROUGHT IT IN, WHICH WAS WITHIN THE FIRST FEW MONTHS OF HAVING IT, THERE ALWAYS SEEMED TO BE AN ISSUE WITH IT BEING "LOW ON OIL",EVERY SINGLE TIME. I THINK THAT SHOULD HAVE RAISED A RED FLAG THE 3RD OR 4TH TIME I BROUGHT IT IN. THEY ARE PLAYING A GUESSING GAME, NOT BEING LOYAL AND FAIR.THIS IS A HUGE SAFETY CONCERN AND IT NEEDS TO BE TAKEN OFF THE MARKET, COMPLETELY. I THINK THEY ARE JUST DOING ANYTHING TO BUY TIME BECAUSE MY LEASE IS ALMOST UP,NOT FAIR. I ALREADY HAVE LEGAL COUNSEL STANDING BY. WHEN SOMEONE GETS KILLED, THEN THEY WILL WORRY ABOUT OUR SAFETY.HOW MANY COMPLAINTS WILL IT TAKE.

IN THE PAST TWO WEEKS MY CAR HAS STALLED OUT 3 TIMES AND IT HAS BEEN UNABLE TO START BACK UP. I'VE HAD THE BATTERY REPLACED AND MECHANICS CANNOT DETERMINE THE ISSUE. THE STALLING HAS OCCURRED BETWEEN 2-5 MINUTES OF DRIVING AND ALWAYS WHILE IN MOTION. THIS HAS HAPPENED TO ME IN THE MIDDLE OF MORNING RUSH HOUR ON CITY STREETS EACH TIME AND I HAVE BEEN LUCKY ENOUGH TO PULL OVER TO THE SIDE BEFORE LOSING ALL MOMENTUM AND BEING STUCK IN THE MIDDLE OF THE ROAD. WHEN IT STALLS OUT ALL THE DASHBOARD LIGHTS FLASH ON AND THE ENGINE DIED. TWO OF THE TIMES HAPPENED AFTER MAKING A 90 DEGREE TURN, AND ONE TIME IT HAPPENED AFTER JUST GOING AROUND A CURVE IN THE ROAD. IT ALSO SEEMS TO OCCUR AS I AM ACCELERATING OR DECELERATING. WHEN TRYING TO TURN IT BACK ON, THE LIGHTS AND ELECTRONICS WILL TURN BACK ON BUT THE ENGINE WILL NOT TURN. I HAVE NOTICED SEVERAL COMPLAINTS FOR THE SAME ISSUE AND I HAVE LOOKED UP MY VIN ON THE NHTSA WEBSITE BUT IT IS NOT UNDER ANY RECALLS. I HAVE ALREADY SPENT $265 + AAA TOWING FEES ON THIS ISSUE. THE THREE DATES THAT THIS HAS OCCURRED TO ME ARE: 3/17/17, 3/24/17, AND NOW 3/27/17. I AM KEEPING ALL MY RECEIPTS AND I WILL CONTACT AAA TO SHOW THE PROOF OF THEIR TOWING/SERVICE.

AT 7 AM IN THE DARK, THE VEHICLE WAS APPROACHING A TRAIN TRACKS CROSSING AND STOPPED/STALLED ON A TRAIN TRACKS APPROACH. ALL ELECTRONICS WERE CHECKED AND VERIFIED AS GOOD. STARTER WOULD NOT ENGAGE. WHILE MAKING ARRANGEMENTS FOR A TOW TO THE DEALERSHIP, I CHECKED THIS BOARD FOR COMPLAINTS. SURE ENOUGH, THE LOW/NO ENGINE OIL ISSUE WAS THE ROOT CAUSE. THE ENGINE BURNS OIL AT AN ALARMING RATE AS IF IT WERE EVAPORATIVE. I WENT BACK AND ADDED A QUART. THE CAR FIRED RIGHT UP. I TOOK IT TO THE DEALERSHIP JUST TO BE SAFE FOR THEM TO CHECK IT OUT. OF COURSE, NO CODES WERE PREVALENT SO THEY COULD DO NOTHING BUT CHARGE ME FOR AN EXPENSIVE DIAGNOSTIC AND AN OIL CHANGE. THEY HAD IT FOR A WEEK. FCA SENT ME A SURVEY SO I MADE THEM AWARE OF IT. NOW, I (ALONG WITH MANY OF MY FELLOW DART OWNERS) HAVE POSTED TO THE US GOVERNMENT'S OFFICIAL SITE FOR ACTIONABLE INTELLIGENCE THAT THEY MAY DO SOMETHING (ANYTHING!). HOW MANY NEAR MISSES HAVE TO BE REPORTED? HOW MANY ACTUAL FAILURES OF THIS SORT HAS CAUSED A MORTAL END? DEAD MEN AND WOMEN TELL NO STORIES AND REMEMBER THAT THE CAR'S FLASH MEMORY DOES NOT RECORD A CODE. SO CONCEIVABLY, THIS ISSUE MAY HAVE ALREADY BEEN THE CAUSE OF MANY PREVENTABLE DEATHS. THE INTERNET HAS VIDEO AVAILABLE OF THIS FAILURE IF THE NHTSA ARE INTERESTED. IT'S DANGEROUS AND CALLOUS THAT THIS ISSUE IS NOT BEING INVESTIGATED.

I WOULD LIKE TO VOICE MY OPINION ON A SAFETY ISSUE INVOLVING THESE CARS WITH THE 2.4 LITER ENGINE. THESE CARS ARE USING OIL, WAY FASTER THAN THEY SHOULD. THE CARS STALL OUT LOSING ALL POWER AND STEERING IF THE OIL BECOMES TOO LOW. THERE ISN'T ANY INDICATOR LIGHT THAT YOU ARE LOW OR ANY SIGN UNTIL IT HAPPENS. CURRENTLY MY CAR IS USING JUST SHY OF A QUART OF OIL EVERY 1K MILES AND THIS IS ACCEPTABLE IN DODGE'S EYES. THEY ADVERTISE THESE CARS TO GO 6-8K MILES BETWEEN OIL CHANGES - NO MORE THAN 10K MILES! WELL, AT 5.5 QT CAPACITY... YOU WILL ALWAYS RUN OUT PLUS SOME BEFORE A CHANGE IS DUE! I HAVE SEEN MANY PEOPLE COMMENTING ABOUT THEIR VEHICLE STALLING OUT ON HIGHWAYS, ETC WITHOUT ANY WARNING. MAJORITY OF PEOPLE I'M SURE ARE NOT THINKING TO CHECK THEIR OIL ON THEIR NEW CAR WITH EVERY GAS FILL UP TO BE SURE THE LEVEL IS OK. THIS IS TOTALLY UNACCEPTABLE! THESE CARS USE THE 0W20 SYNTHETIC OIL AND IT AVERAGES ABOUT $9 A QT. THIS IS DOUBLING THE COST OF OIL CHANGES SINCE YOU NEED TO FILL IT UP SEVERAL TIMES IN BETWEEN. PLUS WHERE IS THIS OIL GOING? MINE HAS RECENTLY STARTED SPUTTERING AND WILL BE TAKING IT BACK TO THE SHOP .. AGAIN.. HAVE A FEELING THIS OIL IS POOLING SOMEWHERE AND NOW CAUSING A CLOG IN SOMETHING! *TR

RQ25002 · Recall 19V-293 Post Remedy Failures

Opened Jun 30, 2025 · Closed Dec 12, 2025

Status: closed (inferred from source dates) · Power Train:automatic Transmission:lever And Linkage:floor Shift; Power Train:shift Linkage/cable/rod; Power Train:shift Linkage/cable/rod:retaining Fasteners/hardware

On June 30, 2025, the Office of Defects Investigations (ODI) opened RQ25002 to investigate and review the effectiveness of Recall 19V-293. This recall was intended to address deterioration and detachment of shifter cable bushings by replacing them with an improved bushing that is less susceptible to deterioration from chemicals, oils, and solvents in MY2013-2016 Dodge Dart vehicles equipped with automatic transmissions and manufactured by Fiat Chrysler Automotive US LLC (FCA US). If the shifter cable becomes detached from the transmission, the transmission gear position may not match the driver’s intended gear selection. This mismatch could result in unintended vehicle movement or rollaway when the driver believes the transmission is in PARK, increasing the risk of a crash and/or injury. ODI has received sixty-three (63) Vehicle Owner Questionnaires (VOQ) alleging worn or misadjusted shifter cables and/or shifter cable detachments in subject vehicles that had already received the remedy for Recall 19V-293. Complainants reported incidents of bushing deterioration and detachment, resulting in gear-selection mismatch despite the prior recall repair, raising concerns regarding the effectiveness and durability of the implemented remedy and the adequacy of the recall. ODI’s investigation sought to determine whether the remedy used in recall 19V-293 adequately addressed the cause of the failure and whether other vehicles using the same bushing design might be affected. In response, FCA US and Dura Automotive Systems Inc. (Dura) determined that the repair for Recall 19V-293 did not sufficiently address the issue, and therefore, a safety defect exists in the subject vehicle population. As a result, FCA US and Dura initiated the following recall actions: ·         Recall 25V-674 (FCA US) is intended to address MY 2013–2016 Dodge Dart vehicles repaired under 19V-293 or otherwise equipped with suspect service parts. Remedy is under development. ·         Recall 25E-065 (Dura) is intended to address the defect at the equipment level by recalling affected gearshift control cable assemblies distributed as service components. Remedy is under development. The recalls initiated by FCA US (25V-674), and Dura Automotive Systems Inc. (25E-065) were received prior to ODI sending an Information Request (IR) letter to FCA. These two recalls seem to resolve the concerns that prompted investigation RQ25002 by replacing the previously recalled and service-supplied shifter cable assembly with an improved design, currently under development. The vehicle scope concern identified in this query was addressed by the new recalls including all Model Year 2013–2016 Dodge Dart vehicles produced and equipped with the affected shifter cable assembly. Accordingly, ODI is closing Investigation RQ25002. The agency will continue to monitor field performance and recall completion data to evaluate the effectiveness of the new remedy. ODI reserves the right to take additional action if warranted by future circumstances. To review the ODI reports cited in the Closing Resume ODI Report Identification Number document, go to NHTSA.gov.

Remedy is under development. ·         Recall 25E-065 (Dura) is intended to address the defect at the equipment level by recalling affected gearshift control cable assemblies distributed as service components. Remedy is under development. The recalls initiated by FCA US (25V-674), and Dura Automotive Systems Inc. (25E-065) were received prior to ODI sending an Information Request (IR) letter to FCA. These two recalls seem to resolve the concerns that prompted investigation RQ25002 by replacing the previously recalled and service-supplied shifter cable assembly with an improved design, currently under development. The vehicle scope concern identified in this query was addressed by the new recalls including all Model Year 2013–2016 Dodge Dart vehicles produced and equipped with the affected shifter cable assembly. Accordingly, ODI is closing Investigation RQ25002. The agency will continue to monitor field performance and recall completion data to evaluate the effectiveness of the new remedy. ODI reserves the right to take additional action if warranted by future circumstances.

On June 30, 2025, the Office of Defects Investigations (ODI) opened RQ25002 to investigate and review the effectiveness of Recall 19V-293. This recall was intended to address deterioration and detachment of shifter cable bushings by replacing them with an improved bushing that is less susceptible to deterioration from chemicals, oils, and solvents in MY2013-2016 Dodge Dart vehicles equipped with automatic transmissions and manufactured by Fiat Chrysler Automotive US LLC (FCA US). If the shifter cable becomes detached from the transmission, the transmission gear position may not match the driver’s intended gear selection. This mismatch could result in unintended vehicle movement or rollaway when the driver believes the transmission is in PARK, increasing the risk of a crash and/or injury. ODI has received sixty-three (63) Vehicle Owner Questionnaires (VOQ) alleging worn or misadjusted shifter cables and/or shifter cable detachments in subject vehicles that had already received the remedy for Recall 19V-293. Complainants reported incidents of bushing deterioration and detachment, resulting in gear-selection mismatch despite the prior recall repair, raising concerns regarding the effectiveness and durability of the implemented remedy and the adequacy of the recall. ODI’s investigation sought to determine whether the remedy used in recall 19V-293 adequately addressed the cause of the failure and whether other vehicles using the same bushing design might be affected. In response, FCA US and Dura Automotive Systems Inc. (Dura) determined that the repair for Recall 19V-293 did not sufficiently address the issue, and therefore, a safety defect exists in the subject vehicle population. As a result, FCA US and Dura initiated the following recall actions: ·         Recall 25V-674 (FCA US) is intended to address MY 2013–2016 Dodge Dart vehicles repaired under 19V-293 or otherwise equipped with suspect service parts.
