That's weird... can't they still do It anyways?

they definitely still should... anyone know the build date qualifying range?

 

[danielwarren23]

Mines fixed yesss! That flash!

 

[Jeffvanl]

Was just messing around with my front end, tightened my lugs then went for a drive. Vibration has seemed to stop!

Check your lugs!!

rebalanced or you warped your rotors.... is the vibration persistent through braking?

Mine was built April and I took position in may..... I got the update..

 

[dby2011]

I have had this issue randomly for a while- thought I got rid of it after getting new tires but is has gotten worse and this is after I had my tires balanced twice already. I assume this is the problem since it is so random. I drive the same stretch of road in the morning and sometimes it shakes and sometimes it doesn't. I have an appt tomorrow, I will let you all know if the flash solved my issue. BTW- my limited was built in November 2012 so it looks like it qualifies for the flash update.

 

[Run_CMD]

im experiencing this too, and i only have about 1500 miles on my car.

 

[BEEZEE]

Yea you need a rotate and balance. I had the same problem and after I took it in it was fine at 70 and over.

 

[dby2011]

Dealer confirmed the vibration and did the flash update for me today. They claimed it fixed it. I did not get a chance to get the Dart on the highway to confirm it. I will let you all know if it solved my issue after my drive to work tomorrow which is mostly highway.

 

[dby2011]

Well after my 20 mile highway ride to work it seems to have fixed it! This thread really should be moved out of the 2.0 section and into the general section. People should really know about this. I have to wonder how much money and or labor has been spent balancing and rotating tires only to find out is it the electronic steering. I would never have known about this if it was for this forum.

I think it's 2.0 specific though

dby2011,

Glad to hear everything was taken care of on your Dart.
This is great feedback and will certainly help other members if they encounter this same concern.
Cheers!

Nah its all of them

 

[dby2011]

Nah its all of them

Since it is the electric steering you would have to assume it's all of them. After driving a few days now I can definately say it was fixed with the software update. Very strange this would not show up in initial testing of the car and I bet 99% of owners would never think it would be a software update to solve it. This needs to be made aware to owners.

 

[Laguna Blue]

MY dealer finally was able to find the Flash for this, after pointing them in the right direction (twice). Blue goes in Thursday, after 20k miles they finally may fix it!

update, it's fixed, the flash did the trick!

 

[rangerp722]

Omg. I am having the same issue with my dart. Just dropped 400 dollars for two tires at my mechanics advise. Still has the vibration.. Smh. Has anyone figured this problem out yet and how to fix it. I'm supposed to take it back to my local garage to have him look at it again. Does anyone know if there is a recall on this problem yet?

read this entire string, there are several post here defining the TSB fix, including the code numbers and also explaining what the problem is. The hardest part is getting your dealership to acknowledge the problem and them finding the Flash update for it.

good luck.

My dealership found the flash and whatnot but I would have to pay $150 for the flash or the diagnostic, I don't remember which. Only because I have aftermarket wheels and those may be the cause according to them... My factory steelies are all the way in Nevada so I don't think it is going to be worth it to go to Nevada and back... Sooo I'll try and save up $150 for them to fix it.

they just ripping you off man, some darts have 18s from the factory, as long as it is not crazy setup and it has same specs as factory rims and tires they should take it with no problem, PLUS wheel vibration issues is not an official recall, but it is fact that darts need re flash steering wheel module, they shouldn't charge you for that, try different dealer

Also, if you want, we can swap your rims to mine and you can re flash your module and swap back, you know where you can find me
