Yes, Darts initially had their issues, but the majority of that was the 2013 1.4L turbo with DDCT.
We had one of these before getting a 2015 2.4L, but did not have any of the typical engine issues seen with the 1.4L turbo... we had a transmission issue that the dealership couldn’t diagnose/fix... so I have more of an issue with the dealership than I do with the car.
We’ve had no issues with the 2015 2.4L, and nor have friends that also own this model.
The bad reputation of the 2013 1.4L turbo has undeservingly tarnished the whole Dart name.
The later year models are not deserving of this poor reputation.
