Dodge Dart - History, Major Flaws, & Why It Got Cancelled (2013-2016)

Автокөліктер мен көлік құралдары

In this video we look at the Dodge Dart! It was short-lived, only lasting from 2013-2016 before being cancelled. This car wasn't inherently 'bad', but had some major flaws, and 7 reasons that I could come up with on why it was cancelled.

    max F so you’ve never owned one, just test drove it? Must’ve been a really shitty test drive to realize it had all those problems from driving it once. The car has its issues and little quirks that make it annoying sometimes, but I’ve had one for over a year that I got with 48,000 miles and put 20,000 miles on it with not one single problem. (Knock on wood) For the price that I got it for, the Dodge Dart is a fantastic and reliable car. There’s no other car that I could’ve bought for the price I did with the miles it had. I realize it had a terrible resale value, but for the reliability, and dependability I’ve had the last year I feel that I’ve gotten a great deal. Btw I have a 2013 SE with the 6 speed manual transmission.

It's got 178,000 miles, and has only needed basic maintenance done. Still gets 30mpg. I couldn't be happier with how this car has run. It has served it's purpose well in being a commuter car.

    2015 Dart owner; I'm at 80K and it hasn't let me down, but I've also done a lot of work myself and kept up with maintenance. I haven't found another car that fits my liking by features and internals. I don't regret my purchase, but I have felt very uneasy since it was discontinued. I chose the GT trim to get the 2.4L engine and avoid the DDC-Transmission which seemed to be causing a lot of problems for people. From the day I bought it to current day, I always answered people that I wouldn't recommend the car when asked, but that it fits me perfectly. I know that sounds odd, but it's hard to explain.

I did find the dart an attractive car. But I wouldn't buy it due to the reliability issue that the campany has and the efficiency of the higher trim engines.

    Thanks for a very informative explanation of just "what happened" to the Dodge Dart 2013-2016? Personally speaking I like my 2014 Dodge Dart SXT with its 2.4 Multiair engine! The Dodge Dart was and is a well engineered compact sedan when compared to the 1995-2005 Dodge Neon. Unfortunately the Dodge Dart was the wrong manufacturer to build a new compact sedan at the wrong time in the automotive consumer market! With continuous low gasoline prices & low interest rates the Big 3 continue to sell SUVs & Big trucks primary because of bigger profits! Hence the Chevy Cruze, & Ford Focus have followed suit! l, myself, prefer sedans in the C-segment, i.e. like the Dodge Dart, & older Dodge Neons, etc.. I absolutely enjoy my Dodge Dart as it rides well and it's plenty fast and quiet in the cabin! If you are looking for a well built sedan with great styling then I recommend that you look at a Dart as there are still many great deals out there on the Dart!

    In May 2014, FCA originally set their sights on the SRT-4 Dart being an AWD car with a 300 hp turbo 2.0L I4 dubbed the "Hurricane" engine. Over the next few months, word got out that were problems with the engine and production, along with the likelihood it would not reach the 300 hp mark. Then about a year later Dodge inexplicably removed the Dart from the planned SRT lineup, slapping the GLH tag on the vehicle instead, and stating it would have roughly the same power as the original SRT-4, 220 hp, and FWD instead. FCA basically saw the market for AWD vehicles drop sharply, and with the idea of a 30,000 dollar AWD SRT Dart failing to sell, word is they retooled the entire idea of what the vehicle would be. While the GLH moniker is a nod to the FWD Mopar days of old, with the Omni GLH (or GLH-S), it was a major disappointment for SRT fans who wanted another SRT-4, both in the idea of using the wrong name, and that the HP output would be so much lower. Everything was pushed back to late 2017 (as stated in late 2015). Then in January 2016, rumors abound that the Dart and Chrysler 200 would possibly be axed to "make room to expand production of Jeep and Ram models". In September of 2016, FCA officials confirmed that production of the Dart would halt at the end of that month. So what exactly happened that sunk the Dart? Nearly every publication covering the Dart before launch in 2012 raved about the exterior looks, the configurable dash display, and many other innovative features. But FCA botched the launch, the nine-speed ZF auto transmission wasn't ready in time for the Dart's arrival, forcing the use of a Hyundai six-speed and Fiat dual-clutch auto at the last minute. To make matters worse, none of them were ready for the Dart's arrival, so for the first several months there were only manual "stick shift" Darts, which many customers weren't able to test drive, even if they wanted to. Not surprisingly, sales figures were drastically affected, only 25k Darts were sold in 2012. To put this into perspective, Dodge averaged sales of about 150k Neons per year from 1994 to 2005, the final full year of production. Considering the damage that the Caliber had already done to Dodge's "small car" reputation, it was not surprising to see the launch issues cause major problems for the Dart. Even so, they were able to increase sales to over 80k for 3 years in a row. FCA did not upgrade the Dart to keep on track with other manufacturers, and offered no incentives to entice people to buy the car. That combined with an oversaturated small car market led to major sales reductions in 2015, fewer than 45k Darts were sold (less than half of the previous year). The demise of the dart had far more to do with the failure to keep the model up with competitors (both technologically and price wise) than it did with any quality or build issues. So what of any SRT-4, or even a small car from Dodge/Chrysler now? Well, there was a rumor going around for some time that there would be a new small Dodge built on the Alfa Romeo Giula platform. However, nothing has been talked about in that respect for at least a year now. FCA seems squarely focused on Ram trucks, Jeeps, and the full size car market, the only available info is again, rumor, with a Chrysler 100, or "Newport" possibly in the works by 2022, on the GM Fiat SUSW platform. But even if that happened, the only source engine available would be a standard 1.4L turbo, an engine that has built a terrible reputation for being gutless and unreliable. As an owner of a 2005 SRT-4, this is all frustrating to see. The Shadow/Sundance and Neon sold like crazy. Then DaimlerChrysler screwed up big time with the Caliber. The Dart started things back in the right direction for FCA, but again, innovation blew right on past them, and the Dart died too. Considering how much money Ford and Chevy make from their small cars (Focus/Cruz respectively) it is really sad that FCA can't seem to jump start anything in that market worth a hoot.

    I bought a used 2016 6 speed manual turbo Dart as a daily and I love it. It's a fun little car that gets me through Houston traffic pretty well. I've owned a lot of different Dodge turbo cars in the past. Mostly the 2.2 turbos of the 80s like the Daytonas, Chargers, and the Omnis. I've always liked Dodge turbo cars. My other car is a 2016 6 speed manual Camaro SS so I was very happy to find a manual for my daily. I plan on keeping the Dart for a while and probably do a few more mods to it. Overall I'm really happy with my little Dart as my daily.

    Currently buying a Dart and i want to say thanks for the video, I didnt see it as a way to trash talk the Dart but more a good explanation why they stop producing, to me i always loved the Dart ever since i saw it on the road for the first time but ive always had V8 engine, the fuel economy is still a upgrade for me even tho its not optimal for others and the manual transmition is a plus for me (personal opinion) anyhow, when i saw the title i was afraid to litsen cuz maybe their would be many problem i would have to look for but im glad that this video made me understand that the flaws are stuff i can deal with, nothing to stop me from buying this car!, Great video! Thank you

    I currently own a dart, and I won't deny any of the information provided isn't true, but personally I love my car. Since I'm a student and work at the same time, it satisfied having a semi-sporty look and also being opted out enough that I enjoy driving it daily. I also got it at the time because it wasn't a super common vehicle. I drive to town about 2 - 3 times a day and only fuel up about every week and a half to two weeks. Of course, this varies given circumstances. I bought it used at 34000 miles, and haven't had any demanding issues thus far. Overall, I'm happy with the car. Perhaps my only gripe is how low it sits.

    I share a similar story to yours. 2013 Rallye here. Purchased in 2015. I've loved every minute with her but she is starting to fall apart. The wiper blades start turning on when the turn signal is engaged, the radio occasionally takes a vacation, the blutooth stopped working about a year ago, and as of yesterday the reverse lockout cable broke rendering her incapable of going backwards. Granted, these are all relatively minor issues and none of them have caused me to love her any less. However, I am beginning to worry about what the immediate future now holds.

I had a lot of electrical issues with mine with interior lights and the screen just randomly going off. It wasn’t a easy car to learn stick on either as I was still stalling a year after I bought it. Wasn’t a fan of the car but I loved the looks. I since upgraded to a 2017 Ford Fiesta ST and it was the best upgrade I could have did for my age that is.

    I was a Chrysler engineer in the plant when the Dart launched. Some cool stories, but everything was rushed for suppliers and the Fiat sourced engineers for the engine/trans offered less technical support than I prefer. End-of-line daily issues were high, and some days there were so many they had to park the "rework" cars outside. I think the base Dart SE with the "Power tech" engine would have been fine, but it was rather bland in that trim.

    I test drove three different darts hoping to find something I'd love. It was a gorgeous car but every one I drove was rough. You felt every little bump in the road. They weren't fast, which I'd expect of a car gets mileage as poor as it does, there just wasn't anything that made me want one aside from outer appearance. It was sad because I aggressively wanted one. I wound up buying a Ford Fusion which I've loved, and I've always been a Dodge fanboy. Unfortunately nothing they had in my price range appealed to me. Ultimately my choice was between the Fusion I bought, a Mazda 6, and a Kia Optima. All 3 of those cars were excellent.

    Both my roommate and I have a dart, his is 2013 and mine is 2016, and we both had the same problem where the plastic rock gaurd from the front bumper down to about the front axel has detatched and now drags everywhere we go, esspecially over speed bumbs and small inclines. Is this a model issue? Or are we just both coincidentally unfortunate?

    Yea I have one too, I share it with my roommate and absolutely hate it. Some Mexican dude had put an intake and a blow off valve on it and I dont have the money to upgrade it more so now mine just sounds like some poser car and isn't even fast. Its embarrassing but oh no my roommate just HAD to have a fucking manual even though we live in Utah which is the worst god damn place on earth to drive stick and neither of us wanted to pay like 16k for a golf GTI. I tried to tell him this thing was like the lowest rated car in existence lol. We have owned it one year and sure enough its been complete ass. Bought it at 42k miles for 8700 bucks. Seemed like a great deal. Welp now we've paid 1800 dollars to have the valve cover gasket replaced TWICE along with all the stupid fancy overpriced sparkplug that got burned up from the oil leaking down into the cylinder. And the reverse lockout cable broke which is just asinine. The Bluetooth only works at complete random like days and weeks apart. Spending 1800 bucks in 13 months on an 8k car is horseshit. I hate mine.

    Jose, you are exactly right in your assessment of FCA's promotional faults in 2012 regarding the Dodge Dart to the automotive consumer industry! Nonetheless the Dodge Dart, in my opinion, is relatively speaking a well engineered compact as compared to Chrysler Corporation's earlier Dodge Neon! Note: I have owned 5 Neons in the past however!

    I bought my 2013 Rallye edition dart back in November of 2013 with 2 miles on it (2 when I test drove, 15 when I signed the papers). I am a car nerd and love car shopping. I test drove probably 15 other cars in this class from the Cruze, Elantra, carolla, and so on. I also test drove a base model before the Rallye. I did my car blog research and stayed away from the dual clutch and the multiair and have what might be considered the boring 2.0 tigershark with the Hyundai sourced 6speed auto. First off; comfort. Of all the cars I drove, this was the most comfortable, insulated, and sturdy built feeling car I was in. Base vs. Rallye, the dual exhaust sings and I love it. It handles like the mazdas I had in the past, which says a lot. Reliability; I now have just under 90k on it. I am good with maintenance and it has been pretty good. For unscheduled repairs, I had the 8inch touch screen replaced at 35k and an oil pressure sensor changed at 52k, both covered under warranty. When I heard they were cancelling the dart, I was pretty sad since I would buy another one. The other problems with the platform;. I know the 1.4 multiair were having ignition coil and oil feeding problems. The dual clutchs were jerky and people kept bashing then in car complaint blogs. For the 200, it had the 9speed auto, but it's first iteration was problem stricken (same with first year Cherokees).

    I have a 2016 2.4L Auto Sxt Rallye edition dart it had 38,000 on it with one owner when I got it last July, it's been great so far. Added led lights to the interior, put in a remote start, rain guards, trunk spoiler, and the elitle floor mats. My only complaint so far is the stereo pain in the ass for it to be upgraded so I'm stuck with the stock non touch screen radio. But the mpg isnt too bad I've only put close to 4,000 on it so far, so I'm hoping this lasts awhile for me. Great video!

    I own a base model '13. Bought it new and drive it everyday, other than typical stuff (brakes, tires) no issues mechanically. Aerodynamics on the other hand, it doesn't handle well in windy conditions and if it's raining or snowing everything that comes over the roof collects in the center of the rear window blocking the view. Plus it's hard to see out of during shoulder checks. Otherwise I like driving it, it handles corners well and the 6 speed manual offers many torque/speed options. Not a fast car but it's power is more "usable".

    I drove the Dart and the Chrysler 200. Both cars looked ok, however the performance was an issue. There was too much of a Delay with the Dart when accelerating. And when it comes to the Chrysler 200, the car had the 9 speed transmission. The trans sounded good on paper, however when driving it seamed like the transmission has troubled with the gears when driving in town. It didn't know what gear it needed to be in around town.

I love my Dart and wouldn't trade it for anything! My car is a prototype where they started the eco gas but I have the 2.0 VSS and people compliment me on how great she sounds. I only had 2 issues since having it which was my cruise control panel needing to be switched out and my BT switched out and that was all within the 6k mileage and under my warranty. Great on gas I get 25-28 on the city and I live in GA and 32-34 on the highway. She currently has 91,1k miles from me driving back and forth home to Florida. I've done mods to her and everything. Next purchase after paying her off is a Durango SRT or Charger R/T.

    I now own 2 of these 2013 & 2015 with the 2.0 and manual transmissions - love them and plan on driving them for a very long time. 38-42MPG constant with virtually no problems except when you hit a deer but all fixed and good. I like that they are heavy as I put on GoodYear Ultra-Grip tires for the winter - except for being low to the ground and if they get snow under them picking them up so to speak - virtually impossible to get stuck. The only comaparable I have otherwise looked @ is the Mazda 3 but very pricey in comparison. In my opinion - where these were bad were with 1.4 Italian Turbo and regardless of the transmission. 2.0/2.4 w/manual - all is good. Have driven them on some long trips - very comfortable and no complaints. Video was correct in relation to manual transmissions as to many have gotten to lazy to learn how and enjoy. More important to be playing on their phones while driving.... If I come across a 3rd one that is a 2.0/2.4 manual - I will be very tempted.
