I picked up this hot mess about three years ago, completely new (30 miles on the odometer). After leaving the dealership, the car overheated and shut down on me before I even made it home. I called the dealership, and was given some nonsense about how that was "totally normal" on new cars while the fluids worked their way through the new car. It sounded like nonsense, but it was also the first new car I'd ever bought. A few months later, the car overheated and shut down again in San Francisco in traffic. I took it in to be looked at, but nobody could find anything wrong with it. The car drives like absolute garbage, and always downshifts at random times. So even though you aren't going with any speed, the car revs up like you're a moron trying to drive a stick shift but don't know how - but it's an automatic transmission. This last weekend on the way back from Vegas, the check engine light comes on and I'm getting an error code related to poorly done turbo system. Now I have to figure out a way to get the car to the dealership - AGAIN - on a car with <25,000 miles on it. From the moment I got this car, I've wanted to set the stupid thing on fire and roll it down a hill. I will never EVER buy another godawful Dodge vehicle again.

When I bought this car, it seemed nice. Traded in a 2010 Dodge Charger because I wanted better gas mileage and safer winter driving (it was rear-wheel drive - in Denver CO). I agree with the review where take-off is sluggish and 6 gears are too many - like it can't decide which gear to be in and the drive can be choppy. I complained to the dealer about the poor take-off acceleration and he said it is to save gas. It's like the car is telling ME when I should go. Very frustrating. Once it gets going over 35-40 mph, it does do very nicely, handles nice, and is relatively quiet for a small car. The turbo is great. The air conditioner has a cheapy fan sound that is inherent in Darts per the dealer, and the brakes are always squealing, which two dealers say is due to the metal they are now using, but "it helps it stop on a dime". I just have to "keep the brake dust power-washed off", which I would have to do every other day. They say it's on all cars after 2005, but I don't hear other people's car's brakes squealing as I drive. The Aero is rated at 32 mpg city and I get about 27. Not the gas savings I was expecting. As I drive stop-and-go a lot, this car is VERY frustrating to drive - I am constantly telling it to "GO!" when I give it gas from a stop and hills are worst. But, on the open road, I did get 53 avg mpg! But, I am on my 3rd check engine light since 2500 miles (car now has 4700) and they can't find the problem because of how complicated they've made everything. I would run this car off a cliff if I could. I have had Dodges for 20 years since I worked for Chrysler at one time but I'm done now. This is NOT a worthy replacement for the Neon and I wish I had my Charger back!

Has bad clutch that smokes and blowes thru vents everytime you drive it! Sounds of wire shorting out in dash..slips out of gear..dealership says they cannot fix it. Thats the way it is suppose to do!Told me to pull over if it smokes and let it cool off then drive. And don't use outside vent air..but use inside circulating air vent. But still smells like blown out candles, possibe harmful! Somebody please help me get rid of it. Watch my youtube Dodge dart aero 2015 for the sound. Don't buy!! Purchased at Tri City Dodge..and serviced there and Royston in Rogersville TN. PLEASE HELP ME GET RID OF IT!! I am afraid it will catch on fire!!
