Description of the problem | Have a 2013 dart sxt 1. 4t manual. I'm going on 2 years with the car, bought it with just under 20k. Since buying it, i've had spouts of check engine light for underboost occasionally come on and go back off soon after, never much of a bother since it never lasted long enough to get the dealership to catch it while the light was still on. Yesterday, 1/10/17, my car was driving normally until i tried to get on the highway, at about 40 mph the engine started stuttering pretty bad, but i didn't think anything of it because no lights were coming on the dash. Until i hit 50. Suddenly the ce light started flashing, the car wouldn't go above 50 mph and the rpms wouldn't even hit 4000. Pulled over, turned the car off and back on, the ce light was back off. Revved the engine for a bit, no issues. As soon as i attempted to accelerate again, the ce light started flashing and then stayed solid this time. Called a tow truck to tow the car to the dealer since clearly it was dangerous to be driving. Once i got to the dealer, started the car up to move it into a parking spot and suddenly neither the tachometer or speedometer were working. They were working normally on the side of the highway. Its like the entire powertrain decided to have a total meltdown all at once. This is not acceptable for a 3 year old car with less than 50k miles on it. I have changed the intake on the car and the hot/cold side piping for the intercooler, but they have been on the car for over a year and i've been sure to regularly check connections and keep them well maintained to prevent any issues, there's no way they are the cause of the powertrain suddenly having a meltdown. |
