i have a 2015 dart, only problem i seem to have is, it has a aftermarket key. no fob, so, every time i use the key to unlock the door, the alarm goes off. without buying a fob, is there anyhing io can do to resolve this? (rather not remove the fuse to the alarm) i want the alarm to function if needed. tyia

I had a front-end accident near the AC compressor area about 6 months ago. Damaged parts were replaced, including the serpentine belt and belt tensioner pulley.

Since summer started, I began having a strange issue:

Sometimes when I start the engine (even with AC OFF), the belt suddenly makes a very loud squealing noise, and it looks like the tensioner pulley stops spinning or gets stuck momentarily.

I already replaced the tensioner pulley 5 times, but the problem keeps coming back.

Important details:

- AC cooling works perfectly normally

- The issue does NOT happen immediately after turning on the AC

- Sometimes I can drive for hours with no problem

- The issue often appears after shutting the car off and restarting later

- The problem can happen even with AC OFF

- I suspect pulley misalignment, bent tensioner arm/bracket, alternator pulley wobble, or AC compressor pulley runout after the accident

Car: Dodge Dart 2016 2.4L

What is the best way to diagnose pulley alignment/runout accurately?

Thanks

I have a 2014 dart w/ 2.4 im replacing the heater hose & the upper rad hose with the tee and the lower hose 's tee is lookin pretty suspect too. I think Id be easier to just replace the tee itself on the lower instead of whole hose. I have the full hose part #s, but does anyone have a part # or exact size of the plastic tee? Looks like maybe 1 1/8" x 1 1/8" x 3/4"

I am 9 days away from being induced. I have a 2015 Dodge Dart SXT which has very sloped back seats. The car seat I was trying to install is a Safety 1st Grow and Go EverFit. I've tried pool noodles of various width to get the level line right, but it makes the entire car seat move so much regardless of the tightness of the latch belt. At this point, I just want one that doesn't require me to use a pool noodle or rolled up towel. Surely there is a car seat that can adjust enough without needing anything extra under it. Any recommendations are appreciated.

Took it to a shop because the red oil pressure light would come and go when driving . Same night all my oil leaked out . They replaced my oil pan the next day as it had a small crack. Then I got the car back it was still flashing the light right after on and off when I drove it to work . Same thing going home . So I left it in the driveway until he could check on it . When the next day comes , I tell him my engine isn’t sounding right and now that light is solid there . He tells me “ it’s just the sensor , drive it and let the oil circulate ( because maybe it’s running dry when all my oil leaked out ) . I said nah it’s not that my engine doesn’t sound this way he said it’s an older car so it’s normal but I knew it’s not . After that drove to AutoZone it had the light but drove there fine still sounded weird from the engine . When driving back i stopped at a light , when I tried to pull off after it was green I felt that the power wasn’t there at all because I know my car . Less than a min later rev dropped to 0 and im rolling with no power but the car has power because the dash stayed on , music stayed on , it can go in neutral , etc . I’ve had an issue where it wouldn’t go in neutral and that was the ground cable months ago this wasn’t the same . When it finally stopped in the middle of a intersection, it started smoking a lot so I jumped out , it was burning smoke white but not coolant or oil something was burning on the engine or electrical but electrical doesn’t make sense if the dash stayed on . I had to get pushed by the police . Called him right after he said he’d look at it . Went there today now 2 days later cause yesterday was closed , he said it’s electrics and if it is he’s not fixing it . I’m telling him no it’s not because I know my car once again , then we’re arguing and I tell him listen, I came to you to not go to small claims . He then says go to small claims . Am I wrong to go fuck that whole shop up ? Or better more mature way do I just take it thru to small claims . Either way im done with this car the money im putting in is equal to a payment every month since the year started . Somebody let me know , or at least a sign of what it may be so I can look my damn self

I recently made a post about my 2016 SXT 2.0L when it was throwing different evap codes every day. I replaced everything it told me to but it would still tell me it wasn’t fixed. I chose to ignore it and now I’m randomly getting a code saying my coolant temperature is too hot. I have replaced the thermostat and housing so I know that’s not the problem but when the light comes on my car could be cold right on startup. Or it can come on at random times but it stops reading my coolant temp and my radiator fan will kick on (even though it is definitely not too hot). The lightning bolt light will also come on which is my electronic throttle control. Also having no problems with that. My thought was the they were ghost codes from a bad battery/alternator but I just got them tested and both are fine. The light on the dash come and go randomly and the car runs perfectly so naturally I’m lost WHAT IS WRONG!!!?

Hey, I was wondering if anybody can help me I have a sub an amp installed in my dart no aftermarket deck and I have a kicker in line out converter connected to my back driver passenger speaker that runs to the trunk and I’m having an issue with it, not turning off my amplifier. I do have a Jensen 600 W Bluetooth. I recently tried to get a fuse line tap for the amp wire and it still was leaving my amplifier on even with the car off. Need help on what to do miss having bass ??

Was driving , had low oil pressure light . It was from an oil leak on my pan , but I got it replaced yesterday and oil was there I’ve been checking . I did notice it sounded off though , from how it normally sounds . Was driving , accelerated a bit not pushed it ; then I noticed my power definitely wasn’t there . Less than a min after got to the next intersection accelerated a tiny bit and engine shut off completely, I tried to make the turn but it didn’t turn the car . I’m not sure what to do now really thinking about a lease at this point it’s something every month the same cost of a payment .
