NHTSA Owner Complaint Log
This page lists owner-reported complaints filed with NHTSA for the 2016 Dodge Dart. Complaints are unverified consumer reports submitted to NHTSA and do not by themselves prove a defect or defect rate.
The contact owns a 2016 Dodge Dart. The contact stated while driving approximately 65 MPH there was a loud abnormal banging sound before the vehicle lost motive power. The vehicle went dark and there was no electrical power. The vehicle failed to restart. The contact had the vehicle towed to a dealer who could not duplicate the failure. The contact stated that the failure occurred two more times and the vehicle was driven to the dealer, who was able to diagnose the failure on the third visit. The dealer diagnosed the vehicle and determined that the onboard computer needed to be reset as well as the battery needed to be replaced. The vehicle had been repaired; however, the contact stated that the failure reoccurred. The manufacturer had not been informed of the failure. The failure mileage was 65,815. The VIN was unavailable.
When I start my car and depart the car feels like it is gonna die and when I accelerate the gears slip and the engine revs up when I am pressing on the brake and sometimes when I come to a complete stop after exiting the freeway my car dies and the battery light turns on and I have to put it in park and start the car again....
After coming back from getting lunch, I pulled in the parking spot and started to park. I put the gear in park, but it was showing that the car was in neutral. I let my feet off the brake to see if it was an error, but it started moving backwards. The key would not come out of the ignition as well.
Emissions Recall U90 Catalyst Efficiency this recall was never addressed on my Dodge Dart.
Blind Spot Detection says 'unavailable'. The first time this happened, it was followed by the radio & heater randomly turning off & on and all things electrical flashing off and on every few seconds. It was taken to the dealership & found the turn signal socket to show a high resistance when hot. After just over a month of everything working normally, it has now gone back to square one, starting with the blind spot sensors, just as before. Uploads are from when I had the car at the dealership in May. Blind spot sensors acting up once again on 6/20/22. Which is the date I put for when the incident occured.
The contact owns a 2016 Dodge Dart. The contact stated while his friend driving approximately 60-70 MPH, the brake pedal was depressed but emitted a loud popping sound. The contact's friend depressed the brake pedal all the way to the floorboard but the vehicle hesitated to respond, causing more than a 10-feet in stopping distance delay. The warning message "Braking System Failure" was displayed. The contact's friend was able to continue to drive the vehicle however, the failure reoccurred while driving to his residence. The contact who is a certified mechanic, diagnosed that the brake booster had failed. The vehicle was not repaired. The dealer and the manufacturer were not notified of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 80,300.
Car not shifting gears correctly. Dodge Dart accelerating poorly to the point where driving can be extremely dangerous for everyone involved. Sometimes car will not go over 40mph which is extremely dangerous. Car jerks and surges forward. Constant Problems with Transmission and gears. Car looses horsepower going up hills to the point where it can back into cars behind me. Gas Mileage extremely high constant trips to gas stations to refuel car. Car has been to dealership shop multiple times for transmission and engine problems but the car still has the same issues nothing is getting fixed car is unfit to and is a safety hazard to all on roads. Dealership doesn’t care as long as they get their money. Engine light and slip light constant on. The car is dangerous to and dealer won’t issue me refund or any other car. I’m scared for my safety everytime I drive this car. Car will randomly cut off in middle of traffic. I will have to turn car on and off just to get it to come back on. I’m praying this car doesn’t kill me or someone else. Dealer doesn’t care multiple trips to dealer for repairs nothing gets fix’s just more problems after another
On December 13, 2021 my 2016 Dodge Dart shut down while driving and would not start back up. Had it towed to a repair shop, they could not duplicate the problem. I contacted Chrysler and the agent who helped me said there is no known issues with this particular vehicle. I found at that was a lie with a little google search. Picked my vehicle up and immediately took it to the Dodge dealership. They checked the oil level and it was so low that the tech said that if it would have been driven much longer it would have completely disabled the engine. No oil light, oil was changed recently, no reason for this to have happened. Found out there was a campaign to update software to the PCM module so that was completed along with an oil change. This created a COMPLETELY unsafe situation, luckily there was very little traffic on the roadway at the time. Vehicles with this issue should be recalled or the engine needs to be replaced.
The car battery keeps dying even though it's a new battery. Alternator isn't the problem either. A bunch of blown fuses relating to the starting of the car. Around the time this issue started the computer also had an issue and we can no longer connect to Bluetooth and the odometer is blinking.
Major oil leak at the Turbo
I cranked my car up and backed it down the driveway with no problem. When I went to put it in drive it; the gear shift would move to to drive but the car would no shift in any other gear. I’ve restarted it multiple times and it will no go into any gear only stays in park, but the gear shifter will move.
This morning when backing out of the driveway, the car got stuck into neutral And I was stuck in the middle of the street unable to back up or drive. After pushing it into the driveway, I discovered the shift cable was no longer attached to the shifter lever. The bushing was no longer in the hole for the shifter cable and the bushing itself was still attached to the shifter lever bolt. In March of this year, I took my car to the dodge dealer to have the two recalled parts replaced. One was the shifter cable bushing. When I called the Dodge dealer, they told me to have the car towed to their service department and they would have it looked at and replaced as soon as possible. I verified with them the bushing was covered under the mopar 24 month part warranty. I had the vehicle towed to them. Later, someone from the service department called trying to tell me that I needed to pay a $277 diagnostic fee and I advised them I would not be paying them anything because I took photos and printed out the photos showing them that the bushing was missing inside of the shifter cable that they supposedly replaced 5 months ago. Either they never replaced it or they replaced it with another faulty bushing. In looking at the bushing currently broken on my vehicle, it is yellow in color. When I looked up the parts number on Mopar’s website, the photo of the new bushing is white.
The car stops unexpectedly. It smoked the other day. I don't know what fuel. The gas cap says 85 but the dealer never told me this. The lighting and inside above. Falls out like it has been tampered with. It doesn't run properly. Sometimes it just stops and won't stop. Like it's a bate car. Used by cops. But I wasn't informed when I was sold the car
My car is showing a code for "Powertrain Control Module Missing Backup Software" which has been recalled under NHTSA Campaign Number: 16V113000. When I call into the Carl Burger dealership in La Mesa, CA they said that they will do the backup however; I would have to pay a charge. Not sure why I would need to pay for something that has been recalled and is showing as a failure when I pull the code.
While on the side of the highway trying to change a flat tire. I found that the lugnuts have swollen and my lug wrench would not fit on the lugs. A service truck responded and said he see's this all the time. He went to the next size up in order to get the lug nuts off and said buy new ones with out the aluminum covers over the nut.
The vehicle got too hot, almost all the electric system of the car had very little energy and blinked, the air conditioning takes a long time to work either to defog the windows, heat or cool. The radio is not working properly. Lights are not level. Emergency equipment is missing as well as an emergency repair tire. And also when I am driving it accelerates and brakes automatically and suddenly. Since I bought this car it has given me many mechanical problems
i was reversing and my car was not able to shift anymore and it was stuck on reverse.
MULTIPLE OCCURRENCE: CAR WILL STALL WHILE DRIVING, LOSING BRAKES. THE LIGHTS ON DASH WILL START FLASHING WILDLY AND THE WIND SHIELD WIPERS WILL START GOING ON ITS OWN WHEN TURNED OFF. CAR WILL NOT START BACK AGAIN FOR A LONG WHILE. THE AIR SYSTEM WILL NOT WORK-NO HEAT OR AIR CONDITIONER, JUST STOPPED WORKING. VERY DANGEROUS SITUATION, CAR IS UNSAFE. I'M NOT SURE HOW IT HAS A HIGH RATING IN SAFETY.

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. HOWEVER, I'VE CHECKED THE OIL LEVELS AND IF ANYTHING THERE MIGHT BE TOO MUCH OIL IN THE CAR. THE OIL LIFE METER IS IN THE SINGLE DIGITS AND THE OIL CHANGE LIGHT WILL NOT COME ON BUT SHOULD BE AT THIS POINT. I WILL HEAR LIKE HALF A DING AND IT TRIES TO COME ON THE SCREEN FOR A SPLIT SECOND BUT THAT'S ABOUT IT HERE IS AN EXAMPLE OF WHAT WILL HAPPEN WHEN THE ENGINE SHUTS OFF: 'START THE CAR FOR THE FIRST TIME THAT DAY AND THE ENGINE TURNS OVER FINE 'DRIVE OUT OF MY NEIGHBORHOOD ON TO THE MAIN ROAD AND GET UP TO A SPEED OF ~40MPH 'WHILE DRIVING THE ENGINE SHUTS OFF, NO LONGER ABLE TO ACCELERATE, BATTERY INDICATOR DINGS AND LIGHT TURNS ON, AND ALL ELECTRONICS (RADIO, A/C...) REMAIN ON. 'I PULL OVER (GET FLIPPED OFF AND HONKED AT - I LOVE ATL...), PUT THE CAR IN PARK, AND TURN EVERYTHING OFF 'ATTEMPT TO TURN THE ENGINE BACK OVER, MAY TAKE 5-10 SECONDS OR 1 OR 2 TIMES (I HAVE A PUSH START) 'ENGINE TURNS OVER AND I NEVER HAVE ANOTHER PROBLEM FOR THE REST OF THE DAY
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. VEHICLE HAS NO INDICATOR TO SHOW ACTUAL REMAINING OIL LIFE TO WARN DRIVERS OF POTENTIALLY SUDDEN SHUT DOWN. THIS HAS CREATED AN UNSAFE DRIVING HAZARDS. THIS IS THE SECOND CHRYSLER PRODUCT I HAVE HAD THE SAME PROBLEM. THE DEALERS ARE REFUSING TO REPAIR AND KEEP EXTENDING THE PROBLEM PAST WARRANTY AS THEY REQUEST OIL CONSUMPTION TESTS ALL THE TIME AND WILL NOT DIRECTLY REPAIR THE ISSUE. WE HAVE VISITED 3 DIFFERENT DEALERS, HAZE CHRYSLER IN GAINESVILLE, GA, TRONCOLI CHRYSLER IN CUMMING GA, AND NOW DON JACKSON CHRYSLER IN CUMMING, GA. THE DODGE DATE HAS STOPPED RUNNING WHILE IN MOTION AND ALSO WHEN STOPPED. THIS IS IN OPERATION BY MY SON, AND AS AN INEXPERIENCED DRIVE WHEN HE FIRST RECEIVED THE CAR, IT CREATES A GREATER THREAT TO NOT KNOW HOW TO OPERATE UNDER THE POWER LOSS. THIS PROBLEM HAS BEEN HAPPENING SEVERAL TIMES OVER THE YEARS. HE IS NOT A HIGH MILAGE DRIVER UNTIL COLLEGE SO IT HAS BECOME MORE OBVIOS IN THE LAST 2 YEARS.
I HAVE HAD THIS CAR FOR 2 YEARS NOW AND IT JUST NOW STARTED JERKING WHILE DRIVING IT. IT DOES THIS IN ANY GEAR OR IN PARK WHILE THE CAR IS ON. IT ALMOST FEELS LIKE IT WANTS TO CUT OFF OR MAYBE TRANSMISSION PROBLEMS BUT I HAVE TAKEN THE CAR TO THE MECHANIC AND THEY USED THEIR CODE READER AND CAN NOT FIND OUT WHATS WRONG WITH THE CAR.. I HAVE GOT A OIL CHANGE AND USED A GAS TREATMENT ON IT SO FAR ITS STILL JERKING WHILE I DRIVE. I AM WORRIED THIS COULD LEAD TO MORE ISSUES OR EVEN CUT OFF ON ME WHILE I AM DRIVING. I USE THIS CAR EVERYDAY FOR WORK AND MY FAMILY AS WE ONLY HAVE 1 CAR. THIS HAPPENS AT STOP SIGNS/LIGHTS AND WHILE DRIVING ANYWHERE. THIS STARTED ABOUT TWO WEEKS AGO.
BRAKE BOOSTER FAILURE
EVERY TIME THE CAR IS DRIVEN, THE SCREEN, BLACKS OUT AND THE RADIO SHUTS OFF. IT THEN "REBOOTS" AND WORKS FOR A LITTLE BIT BEFORE THE SCREEN GOES WHITE AND "REBOOTS". ALSO WHEN THIS HAPPENS, THE GAUGE CLUSTER DIMS TO THE POINT WHERE IT IS BARELY VISIBLE. SOME COMMUTES, IT ONLY HAPPENS ONCE OR TWICE, OTHERS, ITS SEEMS LIKE ITS EVERY 5 MINUTES OR SO. IT HAPPENS AT RANDOM TIMES, ACCELERATING, TURNING, AT A STOP, ETC.
WAS DRIVING AND THE ENGINE STALLED AND CUT OFF W/O WARNING IN TRAFFIC DUE TO LOW OIL PRESSURE. 2.4L ENGINE CONSUMING OIL DUE TO SCARRING OF THE CYLINDER WALLS FROM THE PISTONS. I WAS TOLD THIS BY THE MECHANIC AT THE SERVICE CENTER. IT WAS NOT THAT LONG BETWEEN OIL CHANGES WHEN THIS OCCURRED.
I WAS DRIVING ON THE FREEWAY, AS I HAD ACCELERATION PROBLEMS, AS I PRESS THE PEDAL, THE CAR SEEMS TO GOT STUCK

ANTI-LOCK BRAKE SYSTEM SERVICE LIGHT COMES ON AND OFF AS WELL AS THE TRACTION CONTROL LIGHT. THE ANTILOCK BRAKE SYSTEM IS NOT WORKING AT ALL AND SKID CONTROL DOESN'T WORK EITHER. BRAKES ARE HARD TO PUSH OFTEN AND VEHICLE IS MORE AND MORE RELUCTANT TO STOP. THE VEHICLE IS ALWAYS IN MOTION. STEARING IS HARDER WHEN THE VEHICLE SLOWS OR STOPS ALSO. THE ISSUE BEGAN AT THE SAME TIME AS THE ANTILOCK BRAKE ISSUE. CHECK ENGINE LIGHT ALSO CAME ON. ALL LIGHTS WHERE CLEARED AT MY LAST SERVICE BUT CAME BACK ON IMMEDIATELY FROM LEAVING THE DEALERSHIP I SERVICED IT AT. I HAVE KIDS I TRANSPORT IN THIS VEHICLE AND FAILING BRAKES UNDER 90000 MILES IS A BIG DEAL. APPROXIMATE MILEAGE IS 83000.

THE CAR SUDDENLY LOSES ALL POWER AT RANDOM TIMES. HAS HAPPENED WHEN DRIVING AND WHEN AT A FULL STOP AND HAS HAPPENED MULTIPLE TIMES OVER THE 2.5 YEARS WE OWNED THE CAR. THE CAR CAN BE TURNED BACK ON RIGHT AWAY. *TR
My wipers randomly go off or don’t want to work. I seen a recall for this on 2016 cars but it says mine is not one of them. I took it to the dealership and they said it is a thousand dollars to fix.
WHEN TRYING TO CLEAN MY WINDOWS WHEN A THE RAIN LEFT WEIRD STREAKS WHILE DRIVING I WAS UNABLE TO CLEAN MY WINDOW AND MADE IT VERY HARD TO SEE WHILE DRIVING. WHEN I TRIED TO PUT FLUID IN THE WINDSHIELD FLUID IT WAS CLOGGED. THE TRANSMISSION IS TERRIBLE TO SHIFT WHEN TAKING OFF FROM STOP POSITION OR PICK UP AND GO IN BACK UP TRAFFIC. *TR
REGARDING THE REAR BACK UP CAMERA, THE CAMERA IS A VITAL TOOL FOR US, THE VEHICLE WAS LITERALLY ONE MONTH OUT OF MANUFACTURER WARRANTY AND IT WENT OUT. THEN WE WENT TO OUR LOCAL DEALERSHIP FOR A SERVICE AND ASKED THE SERVICE WRITER IF THEY COULD REPAIR THE CAMERA UNDER WARRANTY AND WITHOUT EVEN LOOKING IN THE COMPUTER HE QUICKLY RESPONDED THAT WE WOULD HAVE TO PAY OUT OF POCKET, IS THE CAMERA NOT A SAFETY DEVICE? I REALLY WISH DEALERSHIPS WOULD STAND BEHIND THEIR PRODUCTS.
TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2016 DODGE DART. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE ATTEMPTING TO PARK THE VEHICLE, THE GEAR SHIFTER WAS PLACED IN REVERSE AND FAILED TO ENGAGE.

RECALL V34, HAS BEEN OPEN ON MY CAR SINCE APRIL 2019. PARTS ARE NOT AVAILABLE AT THE DEALERSHIP. NOW MY CAR IS STUCK IN NEUTRAL, I CAN'T TURN IT OFF. THE GEAR SHIFT SEEMS TO BE STUCK. I CAN'T USE IT AND IT'S STUCK IN MY PARKING LOT.
WHEN BACKING OUT OF MY DRIVEWAY THE TOUCHSCREEN WENT COMPLETELY BLACK. AFTER FINISHING BACKING UP GOT INTO THE MAIN ROAD, THE SCREEN STAYED BLACK FOR A MINUTE. WHEN I WENT TO THE STORE I WAS HEADED TO, I TURNED OFF THE CAR OF COURSE, WHEN I CAME BACK TO START IT, IT WAS BACK TO NO NORMAL. WHEN IT GOES BLACK I CANNOT CONTROL THE AIR OR THE HEAT SINCE ALL THAT IS IN THE SCREEN. I HAVE READ SEVERAL THREADS ABOUT THIS AND THE SAME THING HAS HAPPENED AND SOME PEOPLE HAVE TO REPLACE THE SCREEN AND IT STILL DOESN'T HELP. I TRIED CONTACTING DODGE ONLINE THEY JUST TELL ME TAKE IT TO THE DEALER. NOTE THIS DOESN'T HAPPEN ALL THE TIME ON MINE SO IT'S HARD TO TAKE A VIDEO/PICTURE BECAUSE YOU DON'T KNOW WHEN IT'S GONNA HAPPEN AGAIN SINCE IT'S AT A RANDOM TIME. I SEEN SOME OTHER VEHICLES ONLINE WITH THIS TYPE OF SCREEN HAS BEEN ON RECALLED AND FIXED. AT THIS MOMENT I'M LOOKING INTO ANOTHER VEHICLE THAT CAN BE DEPENDABLE WITH THE AIR OR HEAT AND WHERE AND HOW MUCH IT BLOWS ALONG WITH THE TEMPERATURE. I HAVE 2 KIDS THAT CAN'T GET HOT IN THE SUMMER OR FREEZING IN THE WINTER DUE TO NOT HAVING CONTROL OVER THIS ISSUE.
MY DODGE DART HAS DONE THIS SEVERAL TIMES NOW WHERE IT WON'T START EARLY IN THE MORNING, TYPICALLY ON COLDER MORNINGS. I'LL TRY TO START IT AND NOTHING HAPPENS, YET ALL MY LIGHTS ARE WORKING INCLUDING RADIO AND AC. I TRIED JUMPING THINKING MAYBE IT WAS THE BATTERY AND STILL NOTHING. IT'S NOT TURNING OVER OR CLICKING AT ALL AND THE GAUGES ARE GO CRAZY. I HAVEN'T BEEN ABLE TO BRING IT TO THE SHOP BUT THIS SEEMS TO BE AN ON GOING ISSUE.
WHILE I WAS SLOWING DOWN TO ALMOST A COMPLETE STOP TO IDLING, MY CAR STALLED. IT HAS HAPPENED A FEW TIMES NOW. I AM SCARED, I USUALLY HAVE MY YOUNG CHILDREN IN THE CAR WITH ME.
The car stinks like gas, check engine light has been on. Independent service center advised me that the fuel tank has a leak. Check engine code is also detecting a fuel leak. We have bad headaches due to gas smells inside the car. Even my kids compliant of having headaches due to the gas smell. Puddle of gas above the fuel pump. Thank Can catch on fire due to the leak and strong gas smell. The smell wasn’t to strong until year 2022
THE TURN INDICATOR STALK/LEVER IN MY CAR IS BROKEN. IT IS A MULTI-TASK LEVER DUE TO THE FACT THAT IT CONTROLS MY WINDSHIELD WIPERS, WINDOW CLEANER, AND ENABLES ME TO SWITCH MY LIGHTS FROM DIM TO BRIGHT. THE LEVER NOW FALLS AND CALLS MY TURNING LIGHTS TO BLINK CONTINUOUSLY WHILE I'M DRIVING AS WELL AS CAUSE THE BRIGHT LIGHTS TO JUST POP UP WHEN I'M DRIVING BEHIND SOMEONE AT NIGHT. I FEEL THAT THIS CAN BE A DANGER TO ANYONE BECAUSE THEY CAN THINK SOMEONE IS TURNING AND KEEP GOING, OR CAN BE BLINDED BY THE BRIGHT LIGHTS SWITCHING ON AND OFF. I CONTACTED THE DEALERSHIP ABOUT THE ISSUE AND THEY STATED THAT THERE IS A BACKORDER ON THE PART AND THAT 150 PEOPLE WERE AHEAD OF ME WITH THE SAME ISSUE. I AM UNABLE TO GET THE PART UNTIL MID-FEBRUARY, BUT THE DEALERSHIP STATED THAT IT COULD BE PUSHED BACK FARTHER THAN THAT. I ASKED FOR SOMETHING SO IF I WAS PULLED OVER BY THE POLICE ABOUT THE ISSUE WITH MY LIGHTS, I WOULD HAVE SOMETHING COVERING ME. THEY REFUSED TO GIVE ME ANYTHING STATING THAT THERE WAS A BACK-ORDER ON THE PART.
THE CLOCK AND RADIO WILL CUT OUT AND WHEN THEY DO THE ODOMETER FLASHES. AFTER HITTING THE CD PLAYER TO EJECT THE DISC THE CLOCK WILL TURN BACK ON BUT THE RADIO TAKES A LITTLE TO START WORKING AGAIN. ONCE THE RADIO AND CLOCK ARE BACK ON THE ODOMETER STOPS FLASHING. THE LONGEST IT HAS DONE THIS WAS 2 WEEKS. *TR
ALL THE LIGHTS IN THE VEHICLE VENT OUT, THE DIGITAL DASHBOARD THE TOUCH SCREEN EVERYTHING THAT LIGHTS UP WENT OUT. THE MOTOR ALMOST DIED AND STARTED TO SPUTTER. WHEN I ACCELERATE IT HAS NO POWER THEN IT WILL TAKE OFF THEN NO POWER. WHEN I AM STOPPED THE IDLE IS SO LOW IT ALMOST DIES AND THE ENTIRE CAR SHAKES VERY HARD. THIS STARTED WHILE I WAS DRIVING AT ABOUT 30 MPH.
