The car dies (stalls, doesn't run, etc.) while driving.. or when stopped, or whenever it wants. It will restart and then drive for a while and then die again. The check engine light didn't even come on after several stalls but eventually it coded with P2172 which is "throttle actuator control system - sudden high airflow detected". the car is being towed (as of this writing) to the selling dealer larry miller Dodge in peoria AZ for service. Personal note: The manufacturer/dealer should buy this car back... it's had 2 recalls (one for the windshield wiper motor and another for the entire engine to be replaced) and already had the A/C replaced.

The previous complaint was filed on September 15, 2016. Ihtsa id number 10906998. Originally the vehicle dying was said to be due to the oil needing to be changed and something with the turbo engine that my vehicle does not have. Since the previous complaint, the computer system was updated at the dealership. There were no other issues after the computer system update. April 10th the vehicle started making a loud rattling sound. The sound begins once you get over 50-55mph and gets louder the faster you go and the longer you drive. I recorded the sound so that the dealership could not find a problem. The service department said it sounds like a bicycle chain. It is scheduled for service for the rattling problem on June 21. Today while backing out of the driveway the vehicle tried stalling. After drive about 2 miles down the road, the vehicle died while pulling out from a stop sign onto the main road. A car swerved into the turning lane to keep from hitting me. This makes the 4th time that the vehicle has died while driving it. This issue is going to cause me or my children to be injured or killed. The vehicle currently has 14, 153 miles.

My 2016 Dodge Dart overheats the RPM goes up and down when the car is in motion. On June 26 my car cut off on me in the middle of the road and it took me ten mins to start it up my check engine light keeps going on and off and every time I take it in they say its nothing wrong with it. My oil pressure light comes on and I have 100 percent oil in my car. When I put on brakes it acts like it doesnt want to stop so ihave to brake farther away from peoples cars.
