It's been having trouble starting. It started with the air conditioning going out, then it would stall in the middle of driving there are some fuses that are burnt up. And some wires in vehicle that are burnt up. When we have trouble starting jumping the vehicle would start it but still would try to stall. Finally the vehicle started stalling on us the power steering is out and we had to pull over we thought jumping it would just kick it back on til we got home. But when we tried it wouldn't start and where the electrical fuel is it started smoking like it was going to catch fire. And I am having to find a way to get it into shop. But for now it's left where we got stalled out.
The car intentionally starts. The radio sometimes works and sometimes has no power. It loses the air conditioner and power windows. It burns off excessive amounts of coolant. It smells like it is running hot but isn't. When turning key the gages bounce and it clicks and clicks. Sometimes it starts and other times it will not. Multiple people have stated the same issues. Spending good amount of money on batteries, starters and alternator. The issue continues. The car is at 94k miles.
When the oil life in this vehicle gets low the vehicle randomly stalls. This week my vehicle stalled in the middle of an intersection putting me at risk of bodily harm. I had to have my car towed to the dealership because it would not start. After speaking with the service person at the dealership they said that this is a "safety feature" to protect the engine. This is not the first time this has happened, but it is the first time my vehicle wouldn't start at all.

Sometimes I can smell like a gas or oil smell in the cabin of the car only happens when I take sharp turn or a bump in the road and sometimes by itself can't be good having this smell in the cabin and people breathing it.
In motion - on I-75 expressway, entrance ramp merge. Could have been life threatening or fatal to stall while merging onto extremely busy expressway. When driving the vehicle it will stall at different times, no warning, no warning lights, etc.. Very dangerous. Granddaughter was entering the expressway and just as she was merging the car stalled. She was still rolling and swerved off the expressway onto the emergency strip and then grassy area. She barely avoided a semi sideswipe/collision. Before taking car to dealership, was told over the phone it could be caused by a drop in oil pressure. That is extremely dangerous. They wanted to just do an oil change to see if that corrected the problem, but I insisted the check fuel propulsion, because it seemed like fuel pump/injectors or fuel line was causing problem. Come to find out it has a faulty throttle body. …
As I was driving, I slowed and braked for other vehicles at a traffic light. As I started to re-accelorate, I realized the car had stalled. When I got the car re-started, it was running very rough and the check engine, the traction control and the cruise control lights were all lit and/or flashing. After I got home, I decided to take it back to the dealer. This time, the car drove fairly normally with only the check engine light on. This is the third time this has happened in only 3600 miles. (the first time was at approx. 280 miles and the second time was at about 500 miles.) the dealer's service writer implied since this car has an electronic throttle control, it was my driving style at fault. I have driven several other cars with electronic throttles for several years (my previous car had 120,000 miles on it) and this is the only time anything like this has happened.
Takata recall I bought a Dodge Dart 2015 under the factory warranty and extended warranty on the day of July 19, 2016. After the 3 days the car stop working when I was in the middle of the street at stoplight. I called a tow to take it to my automarket to fix the problem. The diagnostic was the gas bomb problem which its covered as the automarket said. One week later Dodge craysler Ram called me to say that when they opened the gas bomb the mechanic found water inside so some parts were contaminated and the factory warranty doesnt covered. They said that those things happened and is nobody fault but I have to pay them for the service a total of 1140 dlls which I don't have . My dealer who's Mazda el cajon doesn't want to use my extended warranty either and also want me to pay. I hope you can help with the purchase of my first car thank you
No oil light on, no engine light, and it stalled. There is a problem with oil consumption with the 2.4 engine. My car died after backing out of my driveway and starting a turn. Y car stalled out twice in the middle of intersections very dangerous. Battery light came on, music continued, but enginge just died. The steering wheel froze (no more power steering), and I couldn't press my brake down, it just sat there in the road. I checked the level of my oil and it doesn't even cover the curved part of the dipstick, that's how low it is.the car stalled out again, a few months after the oil change. The car is not indicating when it needs oil, and is shutting itself off so it doesn't over heat while driving at speeds 70mph+ and in the middle of intersections while turning.
