Default Will the 2013 Dodge Dart start if ambient temperatures fall below -5 degree?

The purpose of this thread is to determine whether the rumor that the 2013 Dodge Dart will not start if the ambient temperature falls below -5 degree is true or not. My hope is we can get some solid information which dispels this rumor so we can focus on the positive aspects of the Dodge Dart.

Based on posts in other threads we have two different members who report they've heard that the Dart won't start if temperatures fall below -5 degrees. It appears these reports are coming from Service Training Chrysler is providing on the vehicle.

Has anyone else heard that the Dart won't start below -5 degrees?

Is it possible that Chrysler just advises that customers use a block heater in these situations but the Dart will still start?

Are there any other cars currently being sold that are designed not to start in very cold weather?

I have heard that some newer bmw's will not start in -30 Celsius. This was from a friend of mine who was a service advisor in northern Alberta.

I noticed this thread seems to be getting more traffic lately....

With cold weather hitting several areas of the U.S. and Canada have there been any problems with the Dodge Dart starting when ambient temperatures fall below -5 degrees (F) or is this mostly an Urban Legend?
