The Official Dodge Dart Problem-Free/Positive Experience Thread!

[UN4GTBL]

Hey All!

Now this is a thread Dodge is thrilled to see!
Look forward to seeing more positive feed back but at the same time, I'm here for everyone, problems or not!

Glad you found it. There is also a thread about how would you change your Dart? It has some feedback that you might find interesting too.

Rallye 2.0l auto.Citrus Pearl..Love it ! But only one problem is I do not get to drive it much becouse it's the wifes car !! LOL
I did get to take it out last Sunday and play with it for the first time and I love the seats they fit you like a well made glove..I also love the manual shift option on the automatic wow it's fun to drive in that mode !!
Great car all around...And my Dealership Rocks !! Thats a big plus in my book !!

10,000 Problem-Free Miles !!!

• Engine: 1.4-Liter Inline-4 16-Valve MultiAir® Intercooled Turbo
• Transmission: 6-Speed Manual Transmission
• Current mileage: 10,000+ ... averaging ~33.5 mpg per tank
• Driving style: I strive for optimal gas mileage during my commute (in stop-n-go traffic) ... but I'm not afraid to 'put my foot in it' or to drive agressively on a windy canyon road!
• Type of driving (Highway: ~60% City: ~30% Country: ~10%)

Other then some very minor (& quickly resolved) "issues" in the interior (a mismatched grab handle & a visor clip 'cover' fell off), I would say that my 4 months of Dart ownership has been a very Positive Experience!

Except for the grille shutter problem (which I still think was caused by the body shop that repaired the front) I have had no problems with my Red Rallye. The shifter is a little stiff when cold but I am quite happy with it. I just hit 7800 miles.

What are the steps to replace the Antennae? Where did you buy it? Thank you!

[JeffMB]

How can you tell if you have a grille shutter problem? Thank You!

The car overheating in city traffic would be one indicator

Well, I hit 1000 miles today. No mechanical or electrical problems so far. I have one tiny rattle from the plastic piece behind the interior door handle, but that is it. My city fuel mileage is running 24-25 mpg, right on target.

1.4 Turbo
DDCT Transmission
~5500 miles
Mostly highway (70%-30%), City
We're trying to keep it above 30mpg (have seen 40mpg highway). But sometimes feeling the turbo is worth the loss in mpg...

We love the car. There will be a few changes upgrades though...
