My car is randomly stopping when I press the brakes. My check engine light has come on and had the car looked at by a mechanic and he says it has something to do with the PCM.

I have been experiencing pretty much every recall that is on the list number one it started with my car check engine light coming on. And the codes that kept on coming up or for the plugs and coils. I would replace them and they would just go bad again in like a week it is causing my car to do what seems like it's misfiring. My tire light is stuck on when the tires are fine. The speed control stops working on and off. When I steer there's a loud clicking noise. Whenever I try to shift here lately sometimes it won't go into gear. When I turn on the ac it will cause the car to misfire and the only way to make it stop is to turn off the ac and restart the car sometimes three to four times before it stops messing up.today the scariest thing of all happened I was pulling out of bronze and white smoke billowed out of the car tailpipes I'm not sure why. The car is also sporadically not going in gear when I am on the highway making me worry that me and my five kids are in danger due to someone raikkonen to me because my car will not go up to speed and will not shift into the right gear and misfires and will not go over like 30 miles per hour and putz. I replace parts and it seems to work well for a week or two but my car is not on the recall list they say that every single thing that is on the recall list is happening to my car. I don't know what to do about all of this I honestly you just think that Dart needs to take the car back.. like recall it completely. This car has been nothing but trouble after the first year of driving it.

The car will not shut off, I'm not a mechanic I dont know what the problem is I am wasting money trying to fix this problem it's been like this for over a year now this should be a recall as well as my oil goes away really fast I have to get an oil change sooner than most even using the good synthetic oils from the dealerships.

While driving at various speeds, but mainly at lower speeds and while at a stop, the engine will stall and all power is lost to steering and brakes while several warning lights then appear on the dashboard - I have read on chat rooms of hundreds of these occurrences, and most seem to pint to a low oil condition that does not first light the oil light on the dashboard, but some indicate other electrical issues.

The right window no longer works as well as the driver side window. The trunk is also not wanting to open. Key gets stuck in ignition every time I try and turn the car off. Shift cables also broke, I was just getting home when it happened I heard something snap but didn't think much then I parked and tried to drive off again and the car wouldn't shift to drive I could move the stick.back and forth still, had it replaced a couple of days later they said the whole rod had come out and shot into something else in the vehicle had shift fixed. Also had motor mouths fixed the mouths became loss within a couple of days now I believe the ac compressor is messing up ac kicks on but no air comes out, but it only happens once in a while car also stays cold for a long while and makes a weird clicking noise when I start it up. Also smells like oil. Passage seat also is stuck. This all happened within 2years ive had the vehicle.

Battery light comes on. Recall for shifter was fixed, but the fuse box is now burnt. It's is a special part. I think that there is a correlation between the recall then part is inter the battery and near fuse box,

Power train recall....I was backing out of my driveway into the road and the recall item for transmission. The electronic device came off and the transmission would not shift into any gear and I got stuck in the middle of the road I live on while traffic was trying to get through. My car would not go in reverse or drive. I got it pulled back into my driveway and a nice gentlemen that helped looked at my car and realized that the power train was not attached.

After vehicle hasn't been drive. For few hours, it will stall while in motion. Vehicle will be in motion the. Shut off after releasing the accelerator, this affects the vehicle steering also. Restarting the vehicle by turning the key while in park and the vehicle begins to cycle the starter and eventually start back up after the starter cranking. While the battery light is on. Battery has been checked and no issues there. After research, this tends to be an ongoing issue with these models.

From 5mph - 70mph the senor for the TPMS sensor is banging around in my tire hitting the rim, making a loud noise, I am unable to know if all tires are inflated correctly, because the TPMS light is on. I have been to the dealership 5 times to correct the matter and it still continues to happen.

Upon driving a few months after getting this vehicle I noticed it was burning oil rather fluently. When turning corners while driving it would shut of and I'd have to wait about ten minutes and it withhold turn on like nothing happened. After adding more oil it would operate a bit better. Then the throttle system kicked out. I was driving on the highway and began to lose speed. I pulled over for safety and turned the car off. After restarting it I learned the throttle body system was bad. I initially didn't know what it was until after researching the vehicle and it's functions...I cannot get speed going up hill and cannot reach does if more than 40-45mph.

I first started experiencing problems with my car in 2017 my car would overheat and shut off on me in the middle of the road. I took it into a Dodge dealership and they said it was my battery after that I had them change the battery. After maybe a day I went to work and the car shut off on me again. I then got an oil change and the car worked good for a few months until I came upon the problem again the car shut off on me in the middle of the highway. I always thought it was the oil because when it happens I change my oil and the car is fine after. I changed my oil recently and my car is still experiencing electrical problems the battery light turns on and it is a hassle to turn the car back on. I have read a lot of complaints on people who have the same car as me it is a big safety hazard to be stuck in the middle of the road I am not satisfied with my car especially since I keep up with the vehicle maintenance and it only has around 40,000 miles on it.

The brake booster went out while driving the vehicle on a rural highway making it very hard to stop and slow down for curves in the road. The lights flicker in the cab while the car is idling. The car doesn't shift smoothly, shifting is delayed at times going from first gear to second.

Battery needs to be replaced about every 6 months due to something draining the battery but nothing has been found. Electrical is all messed up, the computer system malfunctions. When car is turned on at randomly the air and music will go full blast and it cannot be turned down or shut off. Mechanically the car is running fine but the temperature gauge moves up and down while driving and while sitting still due to electrical issues. When driving on normal backroads or highways there is a loud clunking noise coming from the engine area and nothing has been found as to why it makes the noise.

Dart recall I brought the Dart in to do a reflash for my car to stop the harsh idle, choke and knock.also that the car shuts off from a rolling stop to acceleration after the reflash 2 days later the car continues to have the same problems several weeks later today 11/17/18 the car shut off as usual but in a intersection had to turn on the car and hope when putting it in drive the engine doesn't shutoff again in cold weather the vehicle has a knocking grind sound and occasionally will turn off if the idle drops low to 500 and then immediately applying little gas and the warm weather comes by or after first driven the grinding noise is gone but same issue when the idle drops to low the engine just does and battery light turns on the battery is good but this issue hasn't been fixed and when I went the said it's normal but they did a reflash

Backseat of those not work. I have a lot of electrical issues. The trunk opens every time it's cold or raining by itself. When I start the car the car just flickers sometimes in the odometers bounce up and down. My car is telling me that my park light is out and it's not. These are issues I brought directly to the Dodge lot dealer when I first bought the car
