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.

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.

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.

I have a 2016 dodge dart sxt that I bought over a year ago when it had 20, xxx miles on it, it now has 46,xxx miles on it, it does the weirdest thing, I will be driving it and it just dies and doesn't want to start back up until a couple minutes later, it is embarrassing and a traffic hazzard to be stalled in the middle of an intersection or at a stop light, it has been doing this off and on since I bought the car, it is very dangerous, it wasnt until recently that I realized that this is happening every time that my oil change percentage is at 25% or below, so I googled the problem I am having and it is a common issue with these cars , they are consuming oil in between oil changes to the point the engine is 1 to 2 quarts low and a sensor detects that and is stalling the engine to protect it, does this car not have an oil light to detect when the oil is low?

I have had my 2016 dodge dart for 2 years and 5 mos and this is the third time the check engine light has come on and the car seems like it wants to stall out and has problem getting power and has a pulling effect when going at regular speed, I have taken it to the dealer to replace a coli on it already; I didn't expect to have any issues with a brand new car so soon and having to pay for replacing a coil which was quite pricey to do but I did because I don't have any other means of transportation and also because the original chrysler part was on back order for several months; I don't feel that I should have to pay for these repairs being that my car is only 2 years old; and I now am having the same issue again and probably going to have to pay again to have same problem fixed; very unhappy with owning a dodge vehicle :)

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.
