Problem overview

Some Dodge Dart owners report experiencing stalling issues on highway on-ramps, particularly with the 2.4 MultiAir engine, due to several common problems. Fuel system issues, such as bad gas or water in the gas tank, can lead to improper firing and rough engine performance. Additionally, malfunctions in the air intake system, like erroneous signals from the MAF sensor, may trigger the check engine light and contribute to stalling. Problems with the ignition system, including faulty crankshaft or camshaft sensors, can also result in hard starting and erratic engine behavior. Furthermore, many owners have noted excessive oil consumption in the 2.4-liter engine, often linked to the MultiAir variable valve timing system, which relies on proper oil levels for effective valve operation. It is recommended that owners experiencing these stalling issues address these potential causes promptly to ensure safe and reliable vehicle performance.
