Dodge Dart Reviews

I have a 2015 Dodge Dart that I purchased new in 2015. It currently has 350,000 miles on it and still runs well. No major parts have been replaced. I am 74 year of age. I use my car for mostly missionary work. **

The bushing for the shifter in the Dodge Dart had a recall (V34). It is connected to the inside cable under the shifter but the cable is not on the recall. Even though the shifter bushing went bad causing the cable to become loose, they will not cover the loose cable. They have quoted me $800 to "tighten/replace" the cable, even though this would never have gone out or became loose if it wasn't for the recall piece. I do not recommend buying any Dodge vehicles because the customer care is absolutely horrible. When I asked to speak with someone else about the problem they told me no. I have never had such horrible service from any other car manufacture like I have with this one.

I bought a 2013 Dodge Dart with a 1.4 turbo engine. I bought this vehicle since it had acceptable gas mileage, as well as great features. Unfortunately This car has been nothing but a nightmare. This is a list of all the items to have gone wrong with the vehicle, All transmission/Motor mounts, CV axle, clutch, turbo, coolant reservoir, fuse box, cruise control switch, trunk latch switch, transmission, shifter cables and bushings, reverse lock out cable (again) rear passenger seatbelt (installed backwards) and oil seperator ring. I would highly suggest avoiding this car. Keep in mind that I am also a certified technician, and have a folder. With all the repairs as well as manufacturer recommended services. This was not due to neglect, simply a poor designed car.

This 2016 Dodge Dart Turbo is a fun car to drive. I like the acceleration with the turbo 1.4 liter engine. I also like that it has the six speed manual transmission which is also a lot of fun shifting through the gears. I love the eight inch screen of the Garmin navigation system with a rear backup camera. It gets good gas mileage on the highway and in the city.

My car has been a lemon since I got it. Anything that could go wrong does. Now the recall for the transmission still has not fixed the problem. Everyday the cord has to be slide back on the bushing which was not a problem before they fixed it. The camera works when it wants. The first month I had it I drove it a week they had it for six weeks trying to fix it. The Chrysler company refused to give me a new car or anything that would help to get a different car.

Have a 2013 Dart with 53,000 miles on it. Very reliable car. Would buy again if it was possible. Great on gas. Many trips yield 35 mpg or more on highway. Have gotten 40 plus at times. Ride is good. Handling is very good. Comfortable seats in front.

Best little car that we have ever had, and I am 71. It is a great little car and was purchased for a great price. I am just sorry that Dodge has decided to quit making this little gem! We see these cars being driven all over town so it must have been a very popular model.

(Little background) Traded in my 2010 Avenger for this 2013 Dodge Dart Rallye (1.4 turbo w/ 6 speed manual). At the time of trade my transmission in my avenger was going and I needed something reliable but wanted manual, well I found my dart around 55k miles. Bad part - was under on the Avenger so I was already hesitant on looking at something newer due to still owing on that. Good part- even with the negative equity I ended up with a car with 55k miles, fully loaded on options for $14k (most models are around $8-9k however the one I got was around 10,500 before trade).

I purchased a low mileage 73 Dart Custom Sedan with the 318 carter 2 barrel and 727 torque-flite automatic. Had to rebuild the front end and replace some parts but overall it's been wonderful - easy to work on, easy to get parts for, and gets looks everywhere I daily drive it. I avg 17.5 driving which isn't bad, it's very comfortable - no rattles, the seat belts suck. Large trunk - smooth ride. Great power - will pull small trailer easy, factory A/C works great nice and cold. My only other complaint beside the seat belts is the wipers. It the linkages break from the wiper pivots. You have to remove the HVAC vents, gauge cluster, drop the steering column, remove the glove box, radio and ashtray which can be a pain, overall it's a great car which I enjoy driving and working on.

Bought a 2013 Dart new. All 4 tires had to be replaced after 18,000 miles. Dealer said there is a recall out on all but that batch of tires. Six months later at Discount Tire we had to have one of the tires replaced, then we had to have all 4 rims replaced. Then another tire. They constantly lose air and I am putting air in them twice each week. Went back to Discount Tire and was told the rims need to be replaced and the sensors. The car still has less than 40,000 miles on it. So from 2013 to 2018 and within less than 40,000 miles we have had 9 tires and 8 rims.
