CAR STALLED IN THE MIDDLE OF A PUBLIC STREET SEVERAL TIMES AND WOULDN'T START AT TIMES BEFORE IT FINALLY JUST LEFT ME STRANDED. DURING THESE TIMES THERE WAS NO ERROR ON THE SCREEN LETTING ME KNOW WHAT THE PROBLEM WAS SO I JUST KEPT TRYING TO DRIVE IT. THEN AFTER AWHILE THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT TURNED ON A FEW TIMES BUT IT WAS AT RANDOM TIMES AND DID NOT STAY ON. THE CAR ONLY HAS 18000 MILES AND I'VE ONLY HAD IT FOR 2 YEARS. THE DEALER REPLACED THE BATTERY BUT DID NOT CHECK TO SEE WHAT WAS CAUSING THE BATTERY TO DIE SO QUICK. THEY JUST TOLD ME THAT I DON'T DRIVE IT ENOUGH AND THAT I STOP AND START IT TOO MUCH BECAUSE I WORK TOO CLOSE TO HOME... (THIS IS NOT MY FIRST CAR AND THAT'S NEVER HAPPENED BEFORE). THIS WAS NOT THE FIRST TIME I HAD THIS CAR SERVICED. THE ENTIRE FIRST YEAR I KEPT GETTING AN ERROR THAT THE TIRE PRESSURE WAS TOO LOW AND I WAS TOLD THAT IT WAS JUST AN ISSUE WITH THE COMPUTER SYSTEM BUT I HAD TO REPLACE THE TIRES RIGHT AWAY ON A BRAND NEW CAR. SO IT'S ALSO HAD ISSUES WITH THE TIRES/WHEELS ON A BRAND NEW CAR. PEOPLE BUY NEW CARS TO AVOID THESE PROBLEMS!

MY VEHICLE HAS STOPPED ON TWO OCCASIONS WHILE I WAS DRIVING IT. THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS AND IS AN OBVIOUS SAFETY CONCERN. WHEN I PULLED OUT THE OIL STICK THERE WAS ABSOLUTELY NO OIL. THIS HAPPENED THE SECOND TIME AS WELL. I TOOK IT INTO THE DEALERSHIP AND DID AN OIL CONSUMPTION TEST. THE OIL WENT DOWN ABOUT HALF A QUART IN 1000 MILES. THEY SENT ME AWAY AND SAID THAT THIS WAS ACCEPTABLE.THE ENGINE ONLY HOLDS ABOUT FOUR QUARTS THIS IS RIDICULOUS AND I WILL NEVER MAKE IT INTO MY NEXT OIL CHANGE WITHOUT THE CAR SHUTTING OFF. THE CAR SHUTS OFF DUE TO A SAFETY REACTION TO STOP THE ENGINE FROM BEING DAMAGED DUE TO LOW OIL. I HAVE NOT MADE IT TO MY OIL CHANGE SINCE I HAVE BEEN REFILLING THE OIL. DODGE'S GUIDELINES SAY IT IS "ACCEPTABLE" FOR THE 2.4 ENGINE TO BURN 1 QUART EVERY 750 MILES. THAT IS ALL THE ENGINE OIL IN THE ENGINE SINCE IT ONLY HOLDS 4 QUARTS EVERY 3,000 MILES. MY OIL CHANGE WON'T BE DUE ANY TIME CLOSE TO THEN. PLEASE DO SOMETHING ABOUT THIS. THERE ARE COUNTLESS COMPLAINS AND THREADS OF CITIZENS WITH THIS SAFETY CONCERN. I AM WORRIED OF WHEN THE CAR WILL STOP ON ME AGAIN.

"ENGINE STALLS OUT AND COMPLETELY DIES". THIS HAS HAPPENED TO ME SEVERAL TIMES ALREADY WITH MY SIX YEAR OLD IN THE CAR. I HAVEN'T TAKEN IT TO THE DEALERSHIP TWICE ALREADY AND THIS WILL BE THE THIRD FINAL ATTEMPT FOR REPAIR. I'VE BROUGHT A NEW BATTERY EVEN AFTER IT PASSED SUCCESSFUL TESTING, AND THE ALTERNATOR PASSED AS WELL. THE FIRST TIME IT STOPPED ON ME I WAS ON THE HIGHWAY (HAD THE CAR TOLL TO THE NEAREST AUTOZONE FOR A NEW BATTERY) HAD THE DEALERSHIP LOOK AT IT THEY STATED THEY COULD NOT DIAGNOSE THE PROBLEM SINCE THE VEHICLE WAS WORKING AND COULD NOT FIND ANYTHING WRONG WITH THE CAR, 2ND TIME IT STOPPED TWO DAYS LATER ON THE INTERSTATE HAD THE CAR (THIS TIME I HAD IT TOLL TO THE DEALERSHIP) AND THEY PUT IN THE WORK ORDER WHAT I STATED DID NOTHING TO THE ENGINE AND ONLY COMPLETED THE RECALL ON THE BRAKES. THE THIRD TIME IT STOPPED ON ME WHILE DRIVING WAS ON THE HIGHWAY OCT. 2017 HAD TO GET A JUMP AND HE KEPT STALLING OUT BEFORE IT COMPLETELY STOPPED THIS TIME I CONTACTED DODGE ROADSIDE ASSISTANCE TO TOLL ME TO THE NEAREST DEALERSHIP FOR DOCUMENTATION. I HAVE OPEN A CASE WITH CHRYSLER CORPORATION AND FEEL LIKE I'M GETTING NO WHERE, AND THE DEALERSHIP HAS NOT EVEN BOTHER TO CONTACT ME. I'M GOING THROUGH ALL OF THIS WHEN THE CAR IS ONLY 3 YEARS OLD WITH 48,000 MILES STILL COVERED UNDER WARRANTY. ALL THE TIMES I VEHICLE HAS STOPPED ON ME ON DARK ROADS, IN TRAFFIC, ON THE INSTATE MY DAUGHTER HAS BEEN IN THE CAR WITH ME. THIS CAR IS A DANGER TO ME, MY, FAMILY, AND ANYONE ELSE ON THE ROAD IF I DRIVE THIS CAR. FOR NOW IT CONTINUES TO BE AT THE DEALERSHIP WHILE I DRIVE THE LOANER CAR THEY GAVE ME. BUT I'M STILL HAVING TO MAKE CAR PAYMENTS ON A VEHICLE I'M NOT EVEN DRIVING.

THE CAR WAS DYING AT LIGHTS, ONRAMPS, OFFRAMPS, JUST BASICALLY ANYTIME THE OIL SLOSHED AROUND ENOUGH TO LOSE OIL PRESSURE AND SHUT OFF. AFTER 4K MILES, 40% OIL LIFE LEFT ACCORDING TO THE MONITOR, THE OIL DOESN'T EVEN REGISTER ON THE DIPSTICK, HAD TO ADD 2-3 QUARTS. WENT TO DODGE DEALERSHIP, DEALT WITH CHRYSLER CASE #'S AND REPS, WAS PROMISED A FIX AND NEVER GOT IT. OH YEAH, THE DEALERSHIP TRIED TO CHARGE ME HUNDREDS OF DOLLARS. HAD TO ARGUE WITH CHYRSLER CORPORATE FOR WEEKS TO GET THEM TO PAY. IS IT BURNING? LEAKING? IT'S A MANUFACTURING DEFECT FOR SURE. THE EPA WOULD HAVE A FIELD DAY. THEIR EMISSIONS ARE PROBABLY COMPLETELY OUT THE WINDOW IF THEY ARE BURNING THAT MUCH OIL, OR RELEASING IT INTO THE WILD 1 DROP AT A TIME. I'VE NEVER SEEN ANY ACCUMULATING OIL IN THE GARAGE OR MY PARKING SPOT AT WORK.I DON'T THINK THE EPA WOULD LIKE KNOWING BARRELS MORE OF OIL ARE BEING USED THAN ADVERTISED. ALSO, THE CAR HAS STALLED IN THE MIDDLE OF AN INTERSECTION WITH CARS COMING UP BEHIND ME. IT'S ALWAYS BEEN TO/FROM WORK OR SOMETHING LIKE THAT, AND NEVER WITH MY KIDS AND FAMILY IN THE CAR. BUT YOU'D HAVE TO THINK THAT'S A HUGE LAWSUIT/TRAGEDY WAITING TO HAPPEN, AND YET CHRYSLER COMPLETELY SAYS THAT'S WITHIN REASONABLE SPEC. WHERE THE HELL WAS THIS "SPEC" WHEN I PURCHASED THE CAR? THE NEW STICKER DIDN'T SAY "GREAT GAS MILEAGE, AWESOME NAV UNIT, BURNS 1QT OF OIL PER WEEK" ON THE WINDOW. 20 YEAR OLD CARS HAVE OIL LEVEL SENSORS, AND WARNINGS ABOUT THAT. WHY DOES THIS NEW AGE CAR, NOT HAVE AN OIL SENSOR ON IT TO AT LEAST WARN US OF IMPENDING DOOM WHEN THE CAR STALLS MAKING A SIMPLE TURN? THERE WAS A DEALERSHIP FRANCHISE CHAIN DOWN IN PHOENIX COMPLETELY REPLACING PEOPLE'S ENGINES FOR FREE WITH THE 2.4L TIGERSHARK (I THINK SOME JEEPS AND FIAT'S HAVE THEM AS WELL). I ALSO HEARD RUMORS THAT SOMEWHERE ALONG THE LINES OF 30% OF 2.4L'S HAD THE PISTON RINGS IN BACKWARDS?

I DON'T KNOW WHAT TO DO WITH THE VEHICLE. IT'S GIVEN ME PROBLEMS SINCE I FIRST BOUGHT IT. THE FIRST TIME I HAD A PROBLEM WITH THIS VEHICLE WAS A MONTH AFTER I PURCHASED IT FROM THE DEALERSHIP. I WAS DRIVING IT, AND IT SUDDENLY TURNED OFF AND ALL OF THE LIGHTS ON THE DASHBOARD TURNED ON. NOW IT DOES IT FREQUENTLY. THE LAST TIME WAS LITERALLY THIS 3RD OF OCTOBER. THE DEALERSHIP MECHANICS SUPPOSEDLY SAID IT HAPPENS BECAUSE THE OIL IS LOW ON THE CAR, THAT THE CAR'S SYSTEM SHUTS OFF TO PROTECT THE VEHICLE FROM DAMAGE TO THE MOTOR, DUE TO LOW OIL. IT SEEMS RIDICULOUS THAT CHRYSLER IS WILLING TO RISK THEIR BUYERS WITH SUCH A FAULT SYSTEMS. ALL THE DEALER SAID WAS THAT IT WAS NORMAL AND NOTHING TO WORRY ABOUT. HOWEVER, WHEN THIS HAS HAPPENED TO ME IT HAS BEEN WHEN THE OIL LIFE IS AT NO LESS THAN 58%. IT IS VERY UNSAFE TO DRIVE THIS VEHICLE. I CAN CRASH AT ANY MOMENT. AND THE MOTOR JUST BURNS THROUGH OIL LIKE CRAZY. MY MECHANIC CHECKED IT AFTER MAYBE THREE WEEKS OF AN OIL CHANGE AND IT WAS COMPLETELY OUT OF OIL ALREADY. IT SEEMS LIKE

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.

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.
