My son was involved in an accident november 06, 2013. My son was exiting when he stated he felt tire fell, his car flipped front to end 3x, and then hitting a pole, this causing him to be ejected 100 feet and landing on a grassy median. My son was pronounced dead at the scene, but paramedics were able to revive him. My son was on life support and had to go through a lot and is now okay... During this time we also learned that none of the air-bags he had in the car deployed...
Tl* the contact owns a 2014 dodge dart. The contact stated that while at a stop light and attempting to accelerate, the vehicle failed to respond. The contact mentioned that the vehicle seemed as if it was in the park position. As a result, the another vehicle crashed into the rear of the vehicle. The air bags failed to deploy. A police report was filed. There were two injuries sustained during the crash.
Interior electrical problems from day 1. Random electrical components shut off and restart all the time. Also brakes became harder and harder to use, until they stopped working altogether in traffic, but started working again after collision
Sudden stalling at any speed, been to towbin dodge in henderson nevada, they say they all do that when it needs an oil change, so I asked them, there is only 500 miles since u guys just changed it, they hooked up a scanner and said no codes cars fine. I said it shuts off for no reason, the steering gets super stiff when the car dies, and it's a push button start system, then it makes a funny noise, after a few attempts it will start up and be fine for a week or so, sometimes it stalks 2 to 3 times in a mile.
