“Since march 2019 check engine light has come one 3 times. My car has either stalled in middle of intersection and/or has a bucking sensation and then check engine turns on.

I do not feel safe.this happens while I am driving.”
NHTSA complaint #11210707, filed 2019-05, 47,000 miles“I have been having ongoing problems with my 2013 DART sxt since about 5 months after purchase. One of the first things that happened was the passenger door handle coming off - more than once - and having to be fixed. I believe this occurred three times. Each time it was fixed and then the handle would come off again. The last time the handle came off, I was no longer under warranty so now I just have a passenger door with no handle until I can afford to get that fixed. …”

I spent so much money on just tires. To top it off I can't get the check engine light off because of the bcm and a leak somewhere. I went through all the procedure I brought a new gas cap, I brought a new sensor, I checked the wires no holes and nothing has worked. I still have two codes on my vehicle still after spending a lot of money to get it off”

My tires have been popping left and right brand new and used tires just popping while I'm driving with my kids in the car. The car now has a bcm problem as well as a small gas leak.
