Problem overview

Some Dodge Dart owners report experiencing engine shaking and burning excessive antifreeze, which may indicate a head gasket failure that allows coolant to leak into the combustion chamber. Additionally, these owners have noted A/C malfunctions, often attributed to refrigerant leaks that diminish the cooling power of the system. Together, these issues can lead to a challenging driving experience, particularly in hot weather when effective A/C is essential for comfort and safety. It is recommended that affected owners seek professional diagnosis and repair to resolve these complex problems and maintain optimal vehicle performance and safety.
