Dodge Dart

U.S. safety regulators are investigating complaints of braking problems with Dodge Dart compact cars

The Dart is a compact car, but let that not mar your enthusiasm. It is engineered without compromise and never boring, while helping to reach your destination smartly.

The Dodge Dart is a car of compromises. It was born from the after-stew of Chrysler’s bankruptcy in 2009, following which Italy’s Fiat assumed control. As part of its agreement with Uncle Sam, Fiat was obliged to build a world-class fuel-efficient compact in the U.S. So, it tapped the underlying architecture of the Alfa Romeo Giulietta, enlarged it slightly, and re-tooled Chrysler’s Belvidere, Ill., plant in which to build it.
