2013 Dodge Dart Engine Problems

Hello. My complaint is on the motor mounts, the OEM factory/manufacturer ones that car dealers service/replace. Long story short, in 1 year and 3 months’ timeframe, my motor mounts have been replaced not once, nor twice, but THREE times. It runs the risks of damaging my motor/engine internally and is a safety hazard on the road. The first replacement (August 2023) was due to broken motor mounts and about 4-5 mounts got replaced. Eight months later (April 2024), the second incident was due to ‘faulty OEM parts’ quoted by my car dealer who services my vehicle. They replaced 2-3 mounts. This third incident (October-November 2024) is on a six-month old install, still oem parts. I had the left motor mount replaced after my engine started to sound like it was about to fall apart; hence, the safety risk of an engine failing, falling apart, or falling off/out the vehicle while on the road. After this third replacement, the dodge dealer recommended that I file a recall report because they were concerned about the risks and damage caused by all of the motor mounts my car has seemingly been violated from. When researching if this problem is just my car or not, I came across a dodge forum where MANY dodge dart owners of years 2013-2016 have had these motor mount issues. All have said that this should be a recall, and frankly I agree, because replacing motor mounts every 6-8 months is not only ridiculous, but concerning at the amount of risk. I did the math and in the span of 1.5 years and 12,169 miles, my mounts have been replaced at least three times by Laird Noller Ford AND Briggs Dodge. I attached all documents plus the carfax of one replacement that I couldn’t find the document. There is other parts damaged because of these motor mounts also pictured. When will it stop?

DODGE DARTS OF THIS MODEL YEAR INCLUDING MINE HAVE A PROBLEM WITH THE TURBOCHARGER. PROBLEMS WITHIN THE SETUP CREATE A "TURBO UNDERBOOST" CONDITION, WHICH PROMPTS A CHECK ENGINE LIGHT, AND THROWS THE CAR INTO LIMP MODE. THIS IS OFTEN ACCOMPANIED BY A LACK OF POWER FROM THE ENGINE AND A ROUGH IDLE, OR STALLING AT IDLE. IN MY CASE IT HAPPENED WHILE I LEAVING A CITY, AND I DID NOT HAVE THE POWER TO ACCELERATE TO HIGHWAY SPEED. AFTER PULLING OVER AND RE-STARTING THE CAR, THIS ISSUE IS TEMPORARILY RESOLVED. THIS IS SUCH AN ISSUE WITH THIS MODEL YEAR THAT THERE IS A NORTH AMERICA WIDE BACK-ORDER ON THE NEW-TURBO WITH THIS ISSUE CORRECTED. FOR MANY LIKE ME, THIS EXPENSE IS OUT-POCKET OR FOR A LUCKY FEW, STILL COVERED BY FACTORY WARRANTY. I BELIEVE THAT THE FREQUENCY AND SEVERITY OF THIS ISSUE WARRANTS A RECALL AND PROPER FIX IF THE TURBOCHARGER SETUP. THE ISSUE IS CORRECTED ON 2014+ MODEL YEARS, WHICH IS AN INDICATION THAT FCA WAS AWARE OF THE ISSUE.

RADIATOR ON 2013 DODGE DART DEFECTIVE---IN SHOP FOR THE THIRD ONE (ONE ORIGINAL AND TWO REPLACEMENTS) COOLANT LEAK COLLECTING AND STAIN IN DRIVEWAY.

I PURCHASED THIS VEHICLE DODGE DART 12/23/2013 (428 MILES). ON 2/3/2014 STARTED VEHICLE TO HEAD TO WORK, PUT INTO GEAR (DRIVE) PULLED OUT INTO TRAFFIC, STARTED TO GO, THEN TRANSMISSION FLASHING ON DASH, STATING GEAR NOT FOUND. COULD NOT SHIFT THE VEHICLE, WOULDN'T MOVE. HAD TO BE PUSHED OUT OF TRAFFIC. VEHICLE HAS BEEN TOWED NUMEROUS TIMES SAME ONGOING PROBLEMS TO THIS DATE 9/18/2015. LEMON LAW WAS CONTACTED.

I HAD TO TAKE MY VEHICLE IN FOR SERVICE IN AUGUST OF 2014 BECAUSE MY VEHICLE COMPLETELY TURNED OFF ON ME WHILE AT A RED LIGHT. WHEN I TURNED THE VEHICLE BACK ON, MY TRANSMISSION ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON. SO I IMMEDIATELY TOOK MY VEHICLE TO THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY TOLD ME I HAD A TRANSMISSION ISSUE AND THEY HAD TO ORDER A PART FOR THE TRANSMISSION. I HAD TO TAKE MY VEHICLE IN FOR SERVICE AGAIN IN FEBRUARY OF 2015 BECAUSE MY VEHICLE TURNED OFF ON ME ONCE AGAIN WHILE STUCK IN TRAFFIC ON THE EXPRESSWAY. WHEN I TURNED ON MY VEHICLE THE TRANSMISSION ENGINE LIGHT CAME BACK ON. AGAIN, I TOOK MY VEHICLE TO DEALERSHIP, I WAS TOLD THAT MY VEHICLE WAS AGAIN HAVING THE SAME ISSUE FROM THE PREVIOUS MONTHS BEFORE. ONCE AGAIN I HAD TO TAKE MY VEHICLE IN FOR SERVICE ON MAY OF 2015 BECAUSE MY VEHICLE TURNED OFF ON ME FOR THE THIRD TIME WHILE AT A STOP LIGHT BUT THIS TIME MY VEHICLE STARTED TO SMELL LIKE IT WAS BURNING OIL. WHEN I TURNED ON MY VEHICLE, MY OIL PRESSURE LIGHT CAME ON. WHEN MY CAR WAS BEING LOOKED AT, THEY TOLD ME THAT THEY DID NOT FIND ANYTHING WRONG WITH MY VEHICLE AND THEY ALSO STATED THAT " SOMETHING WORSE HAD TO HAPPEN TO MY VEHICLE FOR THEM FIX THE PROBLEM." THEY TEST DROVE MY VEHICLE AND THEY DID NOT FIND ANYTHING WRONG WITH THE VEHICLE SO IT WAS RETURNED TO ME. SOMETHING IS DEFINITELY WRONG WITH THIS VEHICLE IF IT KEEPS ON SHUTTING OFF ON ME WHILE WAITING AT A RED LIGHT AND ALSO SMELLING LIKE BURNING OIL AND FOR THEM TO TELL ME THAT NOTHING IS WRONG WITH MY CAR THIS LAST VISIT IS REALLY UPSETTING. ALL OF THESE SCENARIOS HAVE HAPPENED IN LESS THAN A YEAR OF PURCHASING MY VEHICLE.THIS IS VERY SCARY AND SOMETHING NEEDS TO BE DONE BEFORE THIS CAUSES A CRASH OR POSSIBLY DEATH! I SENT A LETTER TO CHRYSLER ABOUT THIS SITUATION, AND THEY TOLD ME THAT THERE IS NOTHING THEY CAN DO BECAUSE THERE IS NO RECALL ON MY VEHICLE. THIS IS SO SAD.

WHEN TRYING TO SHIFT INTO DRIVE OR REVERSE THE TRANSMISSION IS ROUGH IN DOING SO MAKES A JERKING MOTION AND SEEMS TO SLAM INTO GEAR MAKING A LOUD NOISE. ...UPDATED 09/28/15 *BF UPDATED 11/07/2017*CN

I STARTED HAVING HEADACHES SHORTLY AFTER PURCHASING THE VEHICLE (2013 DODGE DART). THE HEADACHES CONTINUED TO WORSEN, SO I FINALLY WENT TO THE DOCTOR, HAD CT SCAN AND WAS FINALLY DIAGNOSED WITH HAVING MIGRAINES. I WASN'T AWARE THAT IT WAS THE CAR UNTIL IT WAS IN THE SHOP FOR REPAIR FOR RECIRCULATING AIR ISSUES AND I DIDN'T DRIVE IT FOR A WEEK (DECEMBER 2014). ONCE WE RECEIVED THE CAR BACK FROM THE DEALERSHIP (NOT FIXED) I WAS REALLY SICK (HORRIBLE MIGRAINE) THE NEXT DAY DUE TO THE FUMES. I HAVEN'T RODE IN THE CAR SINCE DECEMBER 19, 2014. I HAVEN'T HAD A MIGRAINE SINCE AROUND DECEMBER 20-21, 2014. THE CAR WAS DROPPED OFF ON JANUARY 2, 2015 BY MY HUSBAND BECAUSE THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON AND TO HAVE THE RECIRCULATE AIR FIXED. THE VEHICLE WAS READY ON JANUARY 8, 2015 BUT WAS NOT PICKED UP UNTIL JANUARY 9, 2015. ON JANUARY 9, 2015, MY HUSBAND PICKED THE CAR UP AND DROVE IT AROUND FOR LITTLE WHILE. HE THEN WENT TO PICK OUR DAUGHTER UP FROM SCHOOL AND SHE BEGIN COUGHING IMMEDIATELY BECAUSE THE RECIRCULATE AIR WENT OUT AGAIN. I HAVE CONTACTED DODGE CUSTOMER SERVICE SEVERAL TIMES REGARDING THIS VEHICLE AND TO NO AVAIL. I CONTACTED THEM TODAY (JANUARY 9, 2015) AND THEY WANTED US TO DRIVE THE CAR BACK TO THE DEALERSHIP FOR REPAIR. I GUESS THEY WANT THE FUMES TO CAUSE SOMEONE TO PASS OUT ALONG THE WAY. DODGE CUSTOMER SERVICE IS HAVING A CASE MANAGER REVIEW MY COMPLAINT, HOWEVER, I AM STUCK WITH A VEHICLE THAT I CANNOT DRIVE. I CONTACTED THE LIENHOLDER TO SURRENDER THE VEHICLE ON MARCH 5, 2015. *TR

WAS GOING TO PICK UP MY BOYFRIEND AND WHEN 3 MILES FROM HOME OIL PRESSURE LIGHT CAME ON. I WAS ON A MAJOR HIGHWAY AND WAS TRYING TO GET TO A SAFE PULL OFF SPOT WHEN THE CAR DIED IN THE MIDDLE OF THE HIGHWAY.(THIS SECTION OF HIGHWAY WAS AN AREA OF MAJOR SEMI-TRUCK TRAFFIC) ALL THE OIL HAD DRAINED OUT OF THE VEHICLE AND HAD TO HAVE THE CAR TOWED TO DEALERSHIP. THEY SAID IT WAS TWO CERTAIN PARTS AND WOULD BE READY THE NEXT DAY. CALLED BACK AND SAID NOW SOMETHING ELSE WRONG AND HAD TO ORDER ANOTHER PART (THE TURBO) THEY DON'T KNOW WHEN IT WILL BE READY. THIS CAR HAS 249 MILES AT THE TIME OF INCIDENT! I AM TERRIFIED TO DRIVE THIS CAR AND I AM FURIOUS WITH DODGE WHEN THEY ARE AWARE OF THE ISSUES WITH THIS MODEL CAR AND JUST CONTINUE TO IGNORE OR BLAME THE CUSTOMERS. SOMEBODY NEEDS TO STEP UP AND DO SOMETHING FOR THE SAFETY OF THE CONSUMER BEFORE SOMEONE GETS HURT OR KILLED! WILL BE LOOKING INTO SOME KIND OF CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT. *JS

THE COOLING SYSTEM HAD HAD PROBLEMS WITH GOING UP AND DOWN .IT HASN'T GOT ALL THE WAY UP THE THE "H" OR HOT MARK BUT IT GOES UP TO THE 3/4 MARK QUITE REGULARLY AND IT SMELLS LIKE HOT ELECTRICAL PARTS . IT USUALLY HAPPENS WHEN STOPPED AT LIKE SAY A "DRIVE THROUGH" LINE OR SOMETHING LIKE THAT WHEN THE CAR IS IN DRIVE BUT NOT MOVING. I'VE TOOK IT IN TO THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY SAW PICTURES AND I EVEN MADE IT GET UP TO 3/4 ON THE TEMP GAUGE AND THEY SAY THAT AS LONG AS IT IS NOT ON THE "H" THEN IT IS FINE AND THE REASON IS BECAUSE THERE ARE FLAPS THAT CLOSE WHEN NOT MOVING . I HAVE CHECKED WITH PEOPLE WHO ARE TECHNICIANS AND THEY SAY THAT THE TEMP GOING UP LIKE THAT WILL AFFECT THE LONGEVITY OF THE ENGINE IN A NEGATIVE WAY , BUT THE DODGE DEALERSHIP SAYS IT'S O.K . I'VE NEVER DROVE A CAR THAT HAS DID THIS AND NOT HAD A PROBLEM WITH THE COOLING SYSTEM AND AM CONCERNED THAT THIS WILL AFFECT MY CAR IN THE LONG RUN. *TR
