Problem overview

Some Dodge Dart owners report experiencing engine stalling while driving, which can lead to unexpected shutdowns of the vehicle. Additionally, many owners have encountered issues with the ignition key getting stuck in the ACC position, as it can only be removed when in the "Off" position. This problem often arises when the key fails to turn past the "Accessory" position. Furthermore, some owners have identified potential causes for the engine shutting off, such as contaminated gasoline from sour gas and low oil levels. To mitigate these concerns, it is advisable for owners to check for any recalls or technical service bulletins regarding engine stalling, have their vehicles inspected by a qualified mechanic, and address any ignition system issues promptly to ensure safety and proper vehicle operation.
