2015 Dodge Dart Tires & Wheels Problems

From control arms are welded down and some sort of screw goes through transmission. Mechanics are unable to remove and replace the front control arms because of that. If I cannot get the front control arms replaced, I cannot get an wheel alignment.

BOUGHT A USED VEHICLE FOR MY DAUGHTER. DEALERSHIP PUT NEW TIRES ON THE VEHICLE. OWED IT LESS THAN 10 DAYS AND THERE'S A BULGE ON SIDEWALL OF KUHMO SOLUS 225/40R18. NOTICED WHEN FILLING GAS INTO VEHICLE. ATTEMPTING TO CONTACT TIRE COMPANY REGARDING RECALLS. NO POTHOLES HAVE BEEN HIT. ONLY 681 MILES ON TIRES. *TR

MY CAR CUT OFF TWICE THIS MORNING, AND ALMOST DIDN'T CRANK BACK UP. THEN MY CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON, SO I TOOK IT BY O'REILLY TO GET THE ENGINE TESTED. IT SHOWED THAT MY THROTTLE ACTUATOR CONTROL WAS BAD. PRIOR TO THIS IT SEEMED LIKE SOMETIMES WHEN I TRIED TO CHANGE GEARS THAT IT WAS STICKING OR SOMETHING. IT WAS ALMOST AS IF IT WAS SWITCHING GEARS PROPERLY. TO TOP IT OFF, I'VE HAD TO REPLACE ALL OF MY TIRES ONCE, AND A COUPLE OF THEM TWICE. NOW TODAY IT APPEARS I'LL HAVE TO REPLACE THE BACK TWO A THIRD TIME. THIS IS ABSOLUTELY RIDICULOUS!!! I'VE BEEN WONDERING IF THEY JUST DIDN'T LET ME KNOW THAT THE TIRES THEY WERE PUTTING ON WERE BAD TIRES, POSSIBLY RECALL TIRES. I'M WONDERING BECAUSE I'VE REPLACED TIRES WAY TOO MANY TIMES, AND ONE OF THE LAST TIMES I WENT THEY TOLD ME THEY NO LONGER HAD THE TYPE OF TIRES THAT WERE ON MY CAR, BECAUSE THEY DECIDED TO STOP BUYING THAT BRAND. WHEN I ASKED WHY, HE FUMBLED AROUND THAT AND TOLD ME THE PLACE THEY (DEALERSHIP) GOT THEM FROM (PEP BOYS) NO LONGER USED THOSE COMPLAINTS.

THE DEALER AND MANUFACTURER WERE NOT NOTIFIED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 74,000.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2015 DODGE DART EQUIPPED WITH DEXTERO TOURING DTR1 TIRES, SIZE: 225/45R17 91H (NA). WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 55 MPH, THE REAR PASSENGER SIDE TIRE BLEW OUT AND SHREDDED INTO PIECES. ALSO, THE FRONT DRIVER'S SIDE TIRE LOST AIR PRESSURE. THE VEHICLE CRASHED INTO A GUARD RAIL. THERE WERE NO WARNING INDICATORS ILLUMINATED. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE PASSENGER SUSTAINED INJURIES THAT REQUIRED MEDICAL ATTENTION. A POLICE REPORT WAS NOT FILED. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC. THE DEALER WAS NOT CALLED. THE VEHICLE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT CONTACTED. THE TIRE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE TIRE FAILURES AND STATED THAT SOMEONE WOULD CALL THE CONTACT BACK. THE CONTACT WAS NOT CALLED BACK. THE FAILED TIRES WERE NOT THE ORIGINAL TIRES. THE FAILURE MILEAGE OF THE VEHICLE WAS 41,803 AND THE FAILURE MILEAGE OF THE TIRES WAS APPROXIMATELY 1,000.

JUST NOTICED THAT THE YOKOHAMA 225/40 R18 AVID S34 TIRES ON MY 2015 DODGE DART HAVE SPLIT SIDE WALLS. I BOUGHT THE CAR NEW. IT HAS APPROXIMATELY 18,000 MILES. I HAD THE CAR IN THREE TIMES FOR THE TIRES LOOSING AIR. I'VE READ THAT YOKOHAMA HAVE BEEN HAVING PROBLEMS ON THIS MODEL TIRE FOR YEARS WITH MANY DIFFERENT SIZES BUT HAVE ONLY RECALLED ONE SIZE. I'M TAKING THE CAR TO THE DEALER 05-02.

THE FRONT DRIVERS SIDE TIRE OUT OF THE BLUE BEGAN TO FORM A HUGE BUBBLE THEN IT EXPLODED AFTER I MADE IT HOME. THE TIRE BRAND NAME IS KUMHO SOLIS. *TR

P225/45R17KUMHO TIRES HAD BUGES IN 2 OUT OF THE 4 ORIGINAL TIRES AT 2000 MILES.CAUSING A HOLE IN ONE OF THE SIDEWALLS AT 25000 MILES.

I RECENTLY NOTICED THAT BOTH FRONT TIRES FROM MY DODGE DART 2015 HAVE A HUGE BULGE, I TOOK IT TO THE DEALER AND SAID THAT WE HAVE TO CONTACT THE MANUFACTURER OF THE TIRE WHICH I WILL DO AFTER I POST THIS COMPLAIN. PEOPLE AT THE DEALER AND AT SEARS (DAYS AFTER I WENT FOR A NAIL IN ONE TIRE FROM BEHIND) SAID THE SAME TO CONTACT MANUFACTURER AND THAT IT SHOULD HAVE WARRANTY. IT IS WEIRD SINCE I NEVER EVER OVER INFLATED THE TIRES, THEY ARE ALWAYS AT THE RECOMMENDED AIR PRESSURE AND NEVER HIT SOME HUGE POT HOLE OR SOMETHING LIKE IT.

BRAKE LINES POPPED LEAKING FLUID ON GROUND AND THE TIRE PRESSURE SENSOR HAS BEEN ON FOR A LONG TIME AND I KEEP GETTING TOLD THAT I JUST NEED TO DRIVE IT

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2015 DODGE DART EQUIPPED WITH KUMHO SOLUS TIRES, SIZE KH25/225/45R17 (NA). WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS PARKED, THE CONTACT NOTICED THAT THE FRONT DRIVER SIDE TIRE SIDEWALL HAD BULGED OUT. THE CONTACT NOTIFIED THE MANUFACTURER. THE TIRE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE APPROXIMATE TIRE AND VEHICLE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 28,540.

DRIVING HOME FROM MY PARENTS HOUSE MAYBE A MILE AWAY FROM HOME AIR PRESSURE GAUGE LIGHT ILLUMINATED WE LIVE LESS THAN A MILE AWAY FROM LOCAL GAS STATION THAT HAS AIR PUMP. WE DROVE MY WIFE AND THREE KIDS TO THE GAS STATION TO GET AIR IN THE DEFLATED TIRED AS SOON AS THE LIGHT ILLUMINATED. AS WE APPROACHED THE GAS STATION LITERALLY 150 FT AWAY, THE CAR STARTS TO SHAKE AND RUMBLE ON THE DRIVERS SIDE LEFT TIRE. JUST HAD THE CAR AT THE DEALER LAST SATURDAY WITH NO MENTION OF ISSUES WITH THE TIRES. UPON INSPECTION THE SIDEWALL OF THE KUMHO KH25 TIRES WAS CRACKING. UPON FURTHER INSPECTION YOU CAN SEE NOTICEABLE WEAR ON THE SIDE WALLS OF THE OTHER TIRES. CAR STARTED TO RUMBLE FOR ANOTHER 20-30 FEET BEFORE WE WERE ABLE TO PULL OVER TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD AND EVALUATE. THIS IS PRETTY UNACCEPTABLE TO ME KUHMO TIRES HAVE APPARENTLY HAD A PRETTY BAD REPUTATION HERE IN THE US WHY ARE MANUFACTURES STILL USING THIS COMPANY?!?! THIS IS A DAILY DRIVER I AM ON THE SAME ROADS CONSTANTLY THE ONLY VARIANT IS ONE SET OF TRACKS THAT I TRAVEL OVER ONCE A WEEK...THERE IS NO WAY THIS WAS CAUSED FROM NORMAL WEAR AND TEAR ON A CAR THAT HAS 9K MILES ON IT.

2015 DODGE DART REFUSED PA. STATE INSPECTION DUE TO FAULTY YOKOHAMA S34 225/4018 TIRE (BULGE ON SIDEWALL). CAR IS NEW WITH 2,100 MILES AND CAME WITH SAID TIRES ON IT. INFORMED TIRES HAVE WEAK SIDEWALLS, BUT STILL DEFECT HAD TO BE LISTED AS ROAD HAZARD, NO MARKS OR DAMAGE TO WHEEL OR TIRE AND WASN'T BROKEN DOWN FOR EXAMINATION. WE HAVE TO PAY $200.00 FOR NEW TIRE. CONTACTED YOKOHAMA WAS TOLD WHAT EVER DEALER SAYS IS LAW, THEY DO NOT CONFIRM DEFECTS, NOR DO THEY CARE ABOUT DOING SUCH.

I WAS DRIVING TO WORK AND MY STEERING AXEL ON THE RIGHT HAND FRONT TIRE BROKE IN HALF. I THOUGHT THAT I HIT A POT HOLE BUT THERE WAS NO POT HOLE. I CALLED THE DEALER AND THEY DID NOT WANT TO FIX IT. I CALLED THE CHRYSLER COMPANY AND THEY STATED THERE WASN'T ANY RECALLS. I FIND IT A LITTLE WIRED THAT THERE WAS I DIDN'T GET A FLAT TIRE THE AXEL JUST BROKE.

I WENT OUT TO MY CAR AND NOTICED A LARGE BULGE ON TOP OF DRIVER TIRE. TOOK TO DEALER SHIP [XXX] AND THEY SAID IT WAS NOT COVERED UNDER WARRANTY. MY ONLY HAS AROUND 18,000 MILES ON IT, THE TIRE DID NOT TAKE ANY IMPACT OF ANY SORT. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR

I WAS DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD, AT NIGHT, WHICH HAD A SPEED LIMIT MARKED AT 25 MILES PER HOUR. THERE WERE A COUPLE OF POTHOLES THAT I NOTICED SO I DECREASED MY SPEED AND WAS GOING BETWEEN 15 AND 20 MILES PER HOUR TRYING TO AVOID ANY THAT I SAW. I ENDED UP HITTING ONE WHICH WAS UNAVOIDABLE, AND HARD TO SEE SINCE THE INCIDENT OCCURRED AT NIGHT; I WAS GOING APPROX. 20 MILES PER HOUR (5 UNDER THE RECOMMENDED SPEED). WHEN THE CAR HIT THE POTHOLE THE FRONT PASSENGER TIRE POPPED, THE DEALERSHIP SAID THE SIDEWALL HAD BEEN BLOWN OUT. ABOUT A MONTH LATER THE SAME TIRE HAD A SIDEWALL BLOWOUT AGAIN AFTER HITTING A POTHOLE, ONCE AGAIN AT NIGHT TIME WHILE GOING 35 MILES PER HOUR ON A ROAD THAT WAS MARKED 35 MILES PER HOUR, THE RIM WAS ALSO DAMAGED IN THIS INCIDENT. ANOTHER INCIDENT RECENTLY HAPPENED EARLIER IN JUNE 2015 WHERE I WAS MERGING INTO TRAFFIC AND DRIVING APPROX. 35 MILES PER HOUR AND WHEN I TURNED MY HEAD BACK AROUND THE POTHOLE HAD ALREADY BEEN UNAVOIDABLE, THIS TIME IT WAS THE FRONT DRIVER SIDE TIRE. THIS RIM WAS ALSO DAMAGED DURING THE INCIDENT, AND A WEEK AFTER I RECEIVED MY CAR BACK FROM THE DEALERSHIP I WAS DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD AND THEN MY TIRE PRESSURE SENSOR ON THE FRONT DRIVER SIDE HAD WENT OUT. I HAD NOT HIT ANY HOLES, I WAS JUST CASUALLY DRIVING DOWN A MAIN ROAD WHILE ON MY WAY TO WORK. THE CAR WAS PURCHASED IN LATE JANUARY 2015, AND I HAVE BEEN DRIVING DOWN THE SAME ROADS AS MY OLD CAR WHICH WAS A 2000 HONDA ACCORD AND HAVE NEVER HAD ANY BLOWOUTS OR INCIDENTS WITH THE HONDA, YET THIS 2015 DODGE DART HAS A BLOWOUT WITH THE SLIGHTEST POTHOLE ENCOUNTER.
