2014 Dodge Dart complaints

THE PARKING BRAKE IS INOPERABLE. THE EMERGENCY BRAKE MECHANISM IN THE REAR CALIPERS HAS BECOME SEIZED AND PULLING THE E-BRAKE LEVER WILL NOT ENGAGE THE EMERGENCY BRAKES, WHICH ALLOWS THE VEHICLE TO ROLL FREELY. PRIOR MODEL YEAR (2013) ALREADY HAVE AN ACTIVE RECALL FOR THIS ISSUE, HOWEVER NEWER MODEL YEARS (2014-2016) DO NOT.

WHEN MY CAR IN THE WINTER TIME WARMS UP THE FAN DOESN'T WORK UNLESS I OPEN UP MY ENGINE HOOD AND IT COOLS DOWN NOW THIS CAN BE ANYWHERE FROM 2 MINUTES ME RUNNING MY CAR ATTENDANCE DOESN'T MATTER WHEN I TURN ON THE AIR-CONDITIONING IT SHAKES MY WHOLE CAR I AM TOLD IT IS NOTHING I DON'T BELIEVE IT MY TRANSMISSION WHEN I PRESS ON THE GAS BECAUSE VERY SLOW AND JERKS A WHOLE CAR AND EMOTION I TOLD THEM ABOUT THIS SINCE I HAD THE CAR AND MY BRAKES ON THE FIRST CAR THAT I HAD MY BRAKES WENT OUT AND IT AFTER I KEPT COMPLAINING ABOUT IT FOR SIX WEEKS AND THEN THEY TRADED ME FOR THE 2014 DODGE DART MY CAR HAS 22500 MILES ON IT NONE OF THIS SHOULD BE HAPPENING WHEN I TAKE IT TO MY DODGE DEALERSHIP THEY THINK THAT IT'S NOTHING IN PRETTY MUCH TELL ME I GOT WHAT I PAID FOR I'D LIKE TO KNOW IF THERE'S BEEN OTHER COMPLAINTS ABOUT THE ENGINE TRANSMISSION AND THE BRAKES NOT TO MENTION A WHOLE LOT OF OTHER THINGS THAT I DON'T EVEN WANT TO GO INTO IT SAYS BELOW TO PUT DOWN A DATE I'M GOING TO PUT DOWN A DATE FOR THIS IS JUST AN ONGOING THING ALWAYS

IT STARTED BACK IN APRIL. MY CAR WOULDN'T GO INTO REVERSE. IT STARTED FLASHING THE R ON THE DASH THEN NEXT TO THE GEAR SHIFT. I TOOK IT INTO THE SHOP. IT THEN STARTED NOT GOING INTO REVERSE OR DRIVE. NOT ONLY WOULD THE LIGHTS FLASH AT ME BUT IT WOULD SAY PLACE VEHICLE INTO NEUTRAL THEN DRIVE OR REVERSE. IT ENDED UP TOWED ONCE BECAUSE T WOULDN'T GO ANYWHERE. THE SERVICE ENGINE LIGHT POPPED UP. IT SAID ALL MY GEARS WERE NOT FOUND. IT HAS BEEN IN AND OUT OF THE SHOP 7 TIMES FOR THIS SAME REASON. IT WON'T REVERSE AND/OR WON'T GO INTO DRIVE. THE GEAR SHIFT ALSO POPPED INTO PARK GOING DOWN THE INTERSTATE. MOST RECENTLY I HAD A COLLISION WHERE IT WAS SUPPOSE TO BE IN REVERSE AND ENDED UP GOING FORWARD AND HITTING A PARKED VEHICLE. MY VEHICLE IS STILL NOT FIXED AND I OWE MONEY ON IT. MY BRAKES HAVEN'T BEEN WORKING CORRECTLY AND I KNOW THEY ARE STILL GOOD BECAUSE MY MECHANIC DAD AND BOYFRIEND HAVE CHECKED THEM. THE CRUISE WILL GO OFF RANDOMLY AND THE TOUCH SCREEN GOES WHITE, BLACK AND BACK ON. THERE IS AN OPEN RECALL WITH NO REMEDY. I DO NOT FEEL LIKE THIS IS THE CAUSE. ALSO, I AM HAVING PROBLEMS GETTING THE IGNITION TO RELEASE MY KEY. DODGE HIRED AN INVESTIGATOR. IT TOOK MY CAR BEING HIT BEFORE THEY DECIDED TO TAKE ACTION. I FEEL LIKE I'M DRIVING A DEATH TRAP THAT I CAN'T GET OUT OF AND USUALLY HAVE ONE TO 3 KIDS IN MY CAR. I'D RATHER NOT HAVE A SERIOUS ACCIDENT BECAUSE THIS CAR IS A PIECE OF (XXX).

I PULLED UP INTO MY DRIVEWAY, I STARTED TO PUT MY CAR IN PARK, AND IT WOULD NOT GO IN TO PARK. IT FELT LIKE THE ENTIRE SHIFTER WAS BROKEN OR LOOSE, AS IT WOULD FREELY MOVE UP AND DOWN WITHOUT ACTIVELY PUTTING THE CAR IN PARK, NEUTRAL, REVERSE OR DRIVE. I COULD NOT PULL MY KEY OUT, I HAD NO OTHER OPTION, BUT TO PULL THE EMERGENCY BRAKE, AND UNPLUG MY BATTERY. I FINALLY FIGURED OUT HOW TO PULL THE KEY OUT OF THE FOB, SO THAT I DIDN'T HAVE TO LEAVE MY KEYS IN THE CAR. THIS WAS IN MID TO LATE APRIL. I WENT ONLINE TO SEE IF I COULD TROUBLESHOOT AND FOUND OUT THAT THERE WAS A RECALL ON THE SHIFTER CABLE BUSHING, WHICH IS EXACTLY WHAT WAS MISSING FROM MY CAR. I OBSERVED THE SHIFTER CABLE WAS NO LONGER ATTACHED, AND THAT IS WHY THE VEHICLE COULD NOT BE SHIFTED INTO ANY GEARS. IT IS NOW JULY 18TH, AND I STILL HAVE NOT BEEN ABLE TO USE MY VEHICLE. NO ONE CAN FIX IT, DUE TO THE PART NOT BEING AVAILABLE. THE MANUFACTURER RECALL NUMBER IS V34, AND THE NHTSA RECALL NUMBER IS 19V-293. THE RECALL STARTED APRIL 11TH 2019 AND I HAVE YET TO SEE ANYTHING FROM DODGE. I HAVE BEEN PUT ON A LIST TO BE MADE AWARE WHEN A PART IS AVAILABLE, BUT NOW I AM GETTING UPSET BECAUSE I CAN NO LONGER SUSTAIN NOT HAVING A WORKING CAR, ESPECIALLY ONE THAT I PAY FOR EVERY MONTH.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 DODGE DART. THE CONTACT RECEIVED A RECALL NOTIFICATION FOR NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 19V293000 (POWER TRAIN) AND STATED THAT THE MANUFACTURER EXCEEDED A REASONABLE AMOUNT OF TIME TO REPAIR THE VEHICLE. DAVE DENNIS DODGE/JEEP/CHRYSLER (4232 COLONEL GLENN HWY, DAYTON, OH 45431) CONFIRMED THAT PARTS WERE NOT AVAILABLE TO PERFORM THE RECALL REPAIRS. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE ISSUE. THE CONTACT HAD NOT EXPERIENCED A FAILURE. VIN TOOL CONFIRMS PARTS NO AVAILABLE. *TR*JB

I HAVE BEEN HAVING DIFFICULTY SHIFTING GEARS AFTER THE CAR HAS WARMED UP. THIS HAS BEEN GOING ON FOR ABOUT 2 MONTHS NOW.IT HAS GOTTEN SO BAD THIS PAST WEEK THAT IT ALMOST LEFT ME STRANDED 40 MILES FROM HOME WHEN I HAD STOPPED FOR FUEL. I HAD PUT IT IN NEUTRAL WITH THE EMERGENCY BREAK ON, AND IT JUST WOULD NOT GO INTO ANY GEAR WHEN I TRIED TO LEAVE.AFTER COOLING FOR ABOUT 20 MINUTES, I FINALLY MANAGED TO CATCH A GEAR AND GO. SOMETIMES, IT WILL SLIP OUT OF FIRST OR SECOND GEAR INTO NEUTRAL, WHILE IN MOTION. THIS MORNING MY HUSBAND ATTEMPTED TO MOVE IT INTO THE GARAGE DUE TO A STORM APPROACHING AND HE COULD NOT GET IT INTO ANY GEAR AND THE CLUTCH STUCK TO THE FLOOR. WE HAVE NOT DRIVEN IT SINCE YESTERDAY, SO IT WASN'T EVEN WARM. MY HUSBAND AND I PUSHED IT INTO THE GARAGE.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 DODGE DART. WHILE DRIVING 10 MPH, THE BRAKE PEDAL WAS APPLIED, BUT WAS DIFFICULT TO DEPRESS. THE BRAKE PEDAL TRAVELED TO THE FLOORBOARD AND THE BRAKE AND BRAKE FLUID LOW WARNING INDICATORS ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHO STATED THAT THE BRAKE LINE NEEDED TO BE REPAIRED. THE CONTACT CALLED ATLANTA WEST CHRYSLER DODGE JEEP RAM (1251 THORNTON RD, LITHIA SPRINGS, GA, 770-942-1102), BUT THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS CONTACTED AND REFERRED THE CONTACT TO NHTSA. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 33,000. *BF *TR

WHEN THE ENGINE IS SHUT OFF THE KEY WILL NOT COME OUT OF THE IGNITION UNTIL THE GEAR SHIFT KNOB IS JIGGLED. THIS IS REOCCURRING FREQUENTLY OVER THE LAST YEAR.

I WAS COMING UP TO A RED LIGHT AT AN INTERSECTION. WHEN COMING TO A STOP, THE BRAKES LOCKED UP AND WAS UNABLE TO STOP AND REAR ENDED ANOTHER VEHICLE.

FIRST OF ALL, WHEN STEERING TO TURN THERE IS A CRACKING NOISE. IT GIVES THE FEELING THAT THE STEERING SYSTEM IS GONNA BREAK. SECOND MAIN PROBLEM IS THAT CAR SHUTS COMPLETELY DOWN WITH NO REASON WHEN BREAKING. THIS JUST HAPPEN TO ME THIS MORNING. I WAS STOPING BECAUSE OF A RED LIGHT AND THE CAR SHUT DOWN THERE. I COULD NOT TURN IT ON AFTER A FEW MINUTES MIN WHILE I WAS COMPLETE STOPPED IN THE MIDDLE OF THE ROAD. THIS IS PRETTY DANGEROUS IF IT HAPPENS WHILE DRIVING IN THE FREEWAY...

VEHICLE MADE WEIRD NOISES AS SOON AS IT WAS PUT IN DRIVE SHORTLY AFTER BEING TURNED ON. WAS DRIVING ON A 45 MPH ROAD WHEN I COULD NO LONGER ACCELERATE AFTER THE FIRST GEAR WHILE TURNING INTO THE FREEWAY. WAS FORCED TO PULL OVER AND RESTART THE VEHICLE WHICH WAS ABLE TO PUT INTO FIRST GEAR AND AFTER SECOND GEAR BEGAN TO REV UP AN NO ACCELERATION HAPPENED. WAS UNABLE TO MAKE IT TO WORK AND TRIED TO TEST IT 'OUT AGAIN, BUT UNFORTUNATELY ITS STILL FAILING. MY VEHICLE IS UNDRIVABLE AND NOW NEED TO PAY OUT OF POCKET FOR REPAIRS OF A RECALL THAT IS STILL "PENDING". MINE & MY CHILDREN'S SAFETY WAS ON THE LINE. WE WERE LUCKY IT WAS NOT RUSH HOUR. I HAVE ATTACHED THE LETTER I RECEIVED FROM THE FAC US LLC STATING THIS IS A DEFECTED VEHICLE. WHICH IS A LETTER IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE NTMVSA.

CARE STARTS OVERHEATING WHILE THE COOLANT IS FULL AND ALL OTHER COMPONENTS ARE WORKING. I HAVE TAKEN MY VEHICLE TO BE REPAIRED MULTIPLE TIMES FOR THE OVERHEATING AND THERE IS NO SIGN OF DAMAGE TO BE REPAIRED. ALSO OCCASIONALLY THE OIL SEEMS TO DISAPPEAR FROM THE ENGINE WITH NO LEAK OR VISIBLE DAMAGE.. CAR WILL OCCASIONALLY STALL OUT AS WELL WHILE I AM DRIVING. THE CAR IS IN THE SHOP AND NO ONE CAN TELL ME WHAT IS WRONG WITH IT. I HAVE BEEN DRIVING 3 TIMES AND THE CAR WILL TURN OFF WHICH IS DANGEROUS. THE DRIVE IS EXTREMELY ROUGH AND IS VERY UNCOMFORTABLE IT BANGS REALLY LOUD WITH ANY SMALL BUMP. CAR HAS A BUNCH OF FLAWS AND I HAVE HAD IT LESS THAN 2 YEARS.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 DODGE DART. WHILE ATTEMPTING TO PARK THE VEHICLE, IT FAILED TO SHIFT INTO PARK. THE CONTACT CALLED CLAY COOLEY CHRYSLER DODGE (1261 E AIRPORT FWY, IRVING, TX 75062) AND WAS ADVISED TO TOW THE VEHICLE TO THEIR FACILITY. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO THE CONTACT'S RESIDENCE. TWO DAYS LATER, THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO THE DEALER WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE SHIFTER FRACTURED AND NEEDED REPLACEMENT. THE CONTACT ALSO RECEIVED A RECALL NOTICE FOR NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 19V293000 (POWER TRAIN), BUT PARTS WERE NOT AVAILABLE TO PERFORM THE RECALL REPAIR. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 86,000. VIN TOOL CONFIRMS PARTS NOT AVAILABLE.

WHEN I PUT MY CAR IN PARK AND TURN THE KEY LEFT TO TURN OFF CAR, IT WON'T LET ME. SO I HAVE TO RESTART MY CAR MOVE THE GEARS FROM PARK TO ANOTHER AND THEN BACK TO PARK, WAIT FOR THE CLICK NOISE AND THEN TURN MY CAR OFF.

BRAKE PEDAL IS HARD, MAKING IT DIFFICULT TO STOP. WHEN PRESSED THE PEDAL MAKES A HISSING SOUND. THE DART WAS PRODUCED IN FEBRUARY OF 2014 ONE MONTH AFTER THE END OF THE OTHER BRAKE RECALL.

CAR WILL NOT GO INTO PARK WHEN TRYING TO PARK. CAR SAYS NOT I. PARK AND WILL NOT TURN OFF

MY DODGE DART HAS AN ISSUE WHERE THE BATTERY LIGHT WILL TURN ON AND THEN THE CAR WILL TURN OFF WHILE IT IS IN USE. THIS ISSUE BEGAN AROUND 1 YEAR AGO AND HAS BEEN SPORADICALLY HAPPENING SINCE THEN. MY MECHANIC EXCHANGED MY BATTERY BUT THE ISSUE PERSISTED AND HE HAS BEEN UNABLE TO FIND A CAUSE. UPON DOING SOME RESEARCH THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM WITH DODGE DARTS. WHEN THE OIL GETS LOW THE CAR WILL SHUT OFF WHEN IN USE WITHOUT AN INDICATOR LIGHT SHOWING THE OIL IS LOW AND DESPITE THE OIL LIFE PERCENTAGE NOT BEING CRITICALLY LOW (IT WAS 17% THE MOST RECENT TIME IT HAPPENED TO ME). THIS IS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS BECAUSE IT HAPPENS ABRUPTLY AND THE STEERING LOCKS UP WHILE THE CAR IS SHUTTING OFF.

AT 44K THERE WAS A DEFINITE SWAY WHEN TAKING A CORNER. I ALSO NOTICED A DROP TO THE FRONT END. WHEN I TOOK IT TO MY GARAGE THE FIRST THING MY MECHANIC NOTICED WAS MY FRONT TIRES NEED TO BE REPLACED DUE TO CUPPING WHICH HE TOLD ME WAS FROM UNEVEN WEAR DUE TO MY SUSPENSION. HE ALSO SHOWED ME WHERE WATER WAS LEAKING INTO THE STRUTS ON THE FRONT END. DEFINITELY DUE TO PART FAILURE AND NOT NORMAL WEAR AND USE.

2014 DODGE DART RECALL UNABLE TO SHIFT GEARS. CHRYSLER ADVISED THAT THE REMEDY DATE IS 8/8/2019. TOO LONG TO BE WITHOUT A CAR. THEY STATE THEY WILL REIMBURSE RENTAL BUT NOT PAY UPFRONT FOR ONE. THIS IS TOO LONG TO BE WITHOUT MY ONLY VEHICLE.

THIS HAS NOW HAPPENED 3 TIMES AND HAS BEEN TAKEN TO A MECHANIC EVERY SINGLE TIME TO GET FIXED. EVERY SINGLE TIME I AM DRIVING, I SLOW DOWN TO TURN AROUND A CORNER, MY ENGINE COMPLETELY STOPS, VEHICLE SPEED SLOWS DOWN, EVERYTHING ELSE WORKS FINE. WILL NOT RESTART, NEEDS JUMPED EVERY SINGLE TIME. EACH TIME I'VE BEEN LEFT IN THE ROAD HOPING NOT TO GET HIT. I'VE READ MULTIPLE COMPLAINTS ABOUT THIS EVERYWHERE. IF AN ACCIDENT OR A BIGGER PROBLEM COMES OUT OF THIS, I WILL BE SUING. I'VE ALREADY SPENT HUNDREDS OF DOLLARS ON THIS PROBLEM. SOMEBODY NEEDS TO DO SOMETHING ABOUT THIS BEFORE MY BANK ACCOUNT OR MY CAR IS WRECKED.

ON APRIL 17, 2019, WHEN ARRIVING AT DESTINATION, I ATTEMPTED TO SHIFT GEARS INTO PARK. HOWEVER, GEARS SHIFTED INTO REVERSE PERMANENTLY. I CALLED MY SIBLINGS TO ASSIST WITH GETTING THE CAR OUT OF REVERSE, THE HANDLE WOULD MOVE BUT THE GEARS WOULD NOT CHANGE. THE ONLY WAY WE COULD GET THE CAR TO STOP WAS WITH THE EMERGENCY BREAK. WE TURNED OFF THE IGNITION, BUT ALL LIGHTS STAYED ON AND WE COULD NOT REMOVE THE KEY FROM THE IGNITION. THE ONLY WAY TO GET THE KEY OUT WAS TO UNHOOK THE BATTERY. I CONTACTED THE MANUFACTURER THE FOLLOWING DAY ON APRIL 18TH, AND THEY ADVISED OF A RECALL FOR SHIFT CABLE BUSHING. I ASKED HOW LONG THE PROCESS WOULD TAKE, THEY STATED THEY WOULD MAIL A LETTER TO ADVISE HOW TO SET UP APPOINTMENT, THEY WOULD HAVE TO ORDER PARTS. I CALLED BACK ON APRIL 25TH TO INQUIRE ONCE AGAIN ABOUT HOW LONG THE PROCESS USUALLY TAKES, AND THEY DID NOT ADVISE OF A TIME FRAME. I ADVISED THE REPRESENTATIVE THAT MY CAR CANNOT BE DRIVEN AT ALL, AND ASKED IF I WERE TO GET A RENTAL CAR OR GET MY CAR FIXED MYSELF WOULD I BE REIMBURSED. THE REPRESENTATIVE ADVISED THAT THERE IS NO GUARANTEE. I'VE CONTACTED THE MANUFACTURER ONCE AGAIN ON MAY 8, 2019. REPRESENTATIVE ADVISED THAT THE PART HAS STILL NOT BEEN ORDERED AND THERE IS NO ESTIMATED TIME.

I BOUGHT THIS CAR BRAND FROM THE DEALER. IT HAS STALLED ON ME AND ON OCCASIONS, IT DOES NOTHING WHEN I TURN THE KEY TO START. TOTAL ELECTRICAL DEFECT. SENT LEMON LAW FORM AND ONLY GOT A NEW BATTERY FROM CHRYSLER. THE CAR STILL DOESN'T IDLE OR RUN RIGHT. IN THE STALLING SCENARIO, THE CAR WAS IN MOTION. IN THE NO START IT WAS IN PARK. I NOW HAVE 117,000 MILES ON THE CAR AND FEEL DEFENSELESS TO GET A RESOLUTION. ON OCCASIONS, THE CHARGING SYSTEM LIGHT WILL COME ON AS I TURN THE KEY OFF.

THE BACK UP CAMERA AND INTERIOR SCREEN HAVE BOTH GONE OUT. OUT OF NOWHERE. THE SCREEN FLUCTUATES BETWEEN WORKING AND TURNING ITSELF OFF MID USE (NOT ONLY FOR THE CAMERA, BUT DURING DRIVING AS WELL.) THE SCREEN HAS BEEN MALFUNCTIONING FOR QUITE SOME TIME NOW AND THE CAMERA HAS GONE DOWN ABOUT 6 MONTHS AGO.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 DODGE DART. WHILE DRIVING 20 MPH, THE VEHICLE FAILED TO COME TO A COMPLETE STOP WHEN THE BRAKE PEDAL WAS DEPRESSED. AS A RESULT, THE CONTACT REAR ENDED ANOTHER VEHICLE. IN ADDITION, THE CHECK ENGINE WARNING INDICATOR ILLUMINATED AFTER THE CRASH. THE AIR BAGS DID NOT DEPLOY. A POLICE REPORT WAS FILED. THE CONTACT WAS NOT INJURED AND THE OTHER DRIVER SUFFERED A HEADACHE. MEDICAL ATTENTION WAS NOT RECEIVED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A DEALER OR INDEPENDENT MECHANIC ON MONDAY MAY 6TH FOR DIAGNOSTIC TESTING OR REPAIRS. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 72,096. *DT *BF *DT *DT*JB*JB *DT *TR CONSUMER STATED ENGINE LIGHT WENT OFF. *JB

THE CAR STARTED RANDOMLY SHUTTING OFF, AT A STOP OR WOULDN'T START ALL TOGETHER. AFTER ABOUT A WEEK OF RANDOM STALLING AND SHUT OFFS, I TOOK IT TO A MECHANIC. HE SAID THAT IT HAS A MANUFACTURERS DEFECT WHERE THE CAR THINKS IT HAS LOW OIL, IT DOESN'T EVEN HAVE TO BE LOW. HAVE BEEN ADDING OIL AND CHECKING CONSISTENTLY FOR ABOUT A MONTH AND RECENTLY IT REFUSED TO TURN ON. GOT A JUMP AND THE CAR STARTED. HAD THE BATTERY AND ALTERNATOR CHECKED AT AUTO PARTS STORE , CAR STARTED UP NO PROBLEM, AND BOTH WERE FINE, BATTERY FULLY CHARGED. NOT MORE THAN 10 MINUTES AFTER TESTING THE CAR WOULD NOT TURN ON. JUMPED IT AND IT STARTED, DROVE HOME. AGAIN, TRIED TO START IT A FEW HOURS LATER AND NOTHING, NEEDED ANOTHER JUMP. USED A SCANNER TO CHECK FOR COMPUTER ISSUES AND NOTHING CAME UP. AFTER DRIVING THE CAR ABOUT 10 MILES, SHUT IT OFF AND AGAIN NEEDED A JUMP. THE CAR SEEMS TO JUST SHUT OFF OR NOT START FOR NO REAL REASON. ONE MECHANIC COULD NOT FIGURE OUT THE ISSUE, THE OTHER HAD IT A COUPLE OF WEEKS BEFORE BLAMING THE OIL ISSUE AND NOW THIS. NO RECALLS ON THIS CAR, ALREADY CHECKED THE VIN NUMBER. NOT SURE WHAT TO DO ABOUT THIS CAR AT THIS POINT WITHOUT SPENDING MORE ON IT THAN IT IS WORTH. 2014 DODGE DART, 98,000 MILES

THE LEFT HEADLIGHT KEEPS GOING OUT. THE BULB HAS BEEN REPLACED NUMEROUS TIMES AND SENSORS HAVE BEEN CHECKED. THE WIRING WAS JUST WORKED ON AND THE BULB REPLACED ONCE AGAIN. A MONTH LATER THE HEADLIGHT IS AGAIN NOT WORKING.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 DODGE DART. WHILE DRIVING VARIOUS SPEEDS, THE VEHICLE LOST POWER AND STALLED. ALSO, THE BATTERY INDICATOR ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC, BUT THEY WERE UNABLE TO IDENTIFY THE CAUSE OF THE FAILURE. THE CONTACT CALLED KELLER MOTORS INC (1795 S PERRYVILLE BLVD, PERRYVILLE, MO 63775, (573) 547-1002) AND WAS INFORMED THAT THE VIN WAS NOT INCLUDED IN ANY RECALLS. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS CONTACTED VIA EMAIL, BUT THEY DID NOT RESPOND. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 129,059.

"THE BASIC OF THE ISSUE ARE SHIFTING ROUGHLY, OVER-REVVING BEFORE SHIFTING, FAILING TO SHIFT, MAKING A GRINDING NOISE ON TAKE OFF, RUNNING ROUGH, EXHIBITING A BURNING SMELL, SMOKING AND OVERHEATING." DASH LIGHT COMES ON RANDOMLY WHEN IN TRAFFIC ON MY COMMUTE HOME FROM WORK "TRANSMISSION GETTING HOT PRESS BRAKE" AND THE CAR WILL START TO SMOKE.

MY CAR WAS PARKED. I TURNED MY CAR ON AND PUSHED THE BRAKE, MY SHIFTER WOULD CHANGE TO DIFFERENT GEARS ON THE LIGHTED DISPLAY BUT WOULD NOT ACTUALLY GO INTO REVERSE, NEUTRAL, DRIVE. MY CAR WAS STUCK IN PARK. UPON EXAMINATION FROM A MECHANIC MY SHIFTER CABLE WAS LOOSE AND THIS HAD TO BE REPAIRED. I HAVE SEEN NUMEROUS COMPLAINTS WITH THIS SAME ISSUE UPON ONLINE RESEARCH. I CALLED THE DEALERSHIP AND WAS TOLD THIS WAS NOT PART OF MY WARRANTY. THIS WOULD BE A SAFETY ISSUE IF THIS WAS TO COME LOOSE UPON MY DAILY COMMUTE ON A BUSY INTERSTATE. I AM CONCERNED FOR MY SAFETY IF MY VEHICLE WAS STUCK IN DRIVE OR REVERSE. I AM THANKFUL THIS TIME I WAS IN PARK,

FOR THE LAST 4 MONTHS MY VEHICLE SHUTS OFF AS I'M DRIVING. AFTER 3 TRIPS TO THE DEALERSHIP FOR A FEW TEST THEY DETERMINE THAT DUE TO LOW OIL CONSUMPTION THE CAR HAS A SENSOR THAT SHUTS OFF THE ENGINE WHILE DRIVING. DURING ONE OF THESE INCIDENTS MY VEHICLE TURNED OFF AS I WAS APPROACHING AN INTERSECTION IN WHICH THE BRAKES DID NOT WORK WHICH LEAD ME TO SLOWLY ROLL INTO THE INTERSECTION ON A RED LIGHT. LUCKILY IT WAS MORNING RUSH HOUR SO NO ACCIDENTS OCCURRED. I TRULY BELIEVE THIS VEHICLE NEEDS TO BE RECALLED IT'S A SAFETY HAZARD NOT ONLY FOR ME BUT ALSO FOR OTHERS

MY CAR POP IN TO NEUTRAL IT WANT GO INTO PARK OR DRIVE, IT'S STAYING IN NEUTRAL THE KEY WANT RELEASE BECAUSE OF THE CAR BEING STUCK IN NEUTRAL.

PURCHASED 2014 DODGE DART FROM SUBARU OF CHERRY HILL, NJ DEALERSHIP 5/2019 @ 44,000MI. USED. EXCELLENT CARFAX. SINCE OWNERSHIP, VEHICLE HAS STOPPED TWICE; ONCE WHILE SLOWED DOWN TO MAKE A LEFT TURN, AND AGAIN WHILE STOPPED AT A RED LIGHT. BATTERY LIGHT DID NOT COME ON EITHER TIME. 3RD TIME VEHICLE DIDN'T START AFTER BEING PARKED FOR APPROXIMATELY 10 HRS. NEEDED TO BE JUMPED. AFTER FIRST INCIDENT OF STOPPING, VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO MECHANIC; COULDN'T FIND PROBLEM. BATTERY CHECKED OUT AS OK. OIL CHANGE PERFORMED AT 47,351MI. ALSO, SINCE BEING PURCHASED, A SLIGHTLY SWEET SMELL COMES OUT OF FAN. DOES NOT GO AWAY. CONCERNED THAT THE VEHICLE WILL STOP WHILE ON A HIGHWAY, CAUSING A MULTI-VEHICLE CRASH. THIS SEEMS VERY UNSAFE. UPON INVESTIGATION, NO RECALL WAS NOTED. DEALERSHIP CALLED TO DISCUSS FURTHER WITHOUT RESPONSE. THIS IS A VERY DANGEROUS SITUATION AND THERE NEEDS TO BE A RECALL. MANY OTHER DRIVERS SEEM TO HAVE THE SAME ISSUES WHEN SEARCHED ONLINE. PLEASE HELP! MOST RECENT EPISODE WAS 2/13/19.

BRAKES FAILD

TRANSMISSION SLIPS INTO NEUTRAL WHILE DRIVING CAUSING THE CAR TO LOSE MOBILITY CAUSING A MAJOR SAFETY CONCERN.

I ALLOWED MY CAR TO WARM UP AT HOME FOR 10-15 MINS AND THEN WENT A MILE TO RETURN SOMETHING TO THE STORE LEFT MY CAR RUNNING UNTIL I GOT BACK AND I WENT TO PUT IT IN DRIVE AND IT WOULDN'T GO ANYWHERE, SO IT TOLD ME TO PUT IT IN NUTERUL AND THEN PUT IT BACK IN DRIVE AND SO I DID JUST THAT AND IT STILL WASN'T GOING ANYWHERE. SO I CONTINUED TO TRY AND PUT IT IN DRIVE UNTIL IT TOLD ME TO SERVICE THE TRANSMISSION AND SO AFTER ABOUT 10 MINS IT FINALLY WENT INTO DRIVE AND SO I STARTED TO LEAVE AND IT WOULDN'T GET OUT OF FIRST GEAR THE WHOLE WAY FOR 7 MILES AND SO I CALLED THE DODGE DEALERSHIP AND THEY TOLD ME TO BRING IT IN AND SO I DROVE 8 MORE MILES TO GET MY DODGE DART AREO LOOKED AT AND THEY SAID THAT WHEN THE CARS ARE COLD THE CARS COMPUTER WON'T REGISTER THE CARS TRANSMISSION'S CODES AND SAID IT WAS FINE NOW BUT I PERSONALLY DON'T BELIEVE IT.

ISSUE BEGAN TO OCCUR WHERE CAR WILL LOSE ACCELERATION AND MUST BE TURNED OFF IN ORDER TO WORK AGAIN. IT HAS HAPPENED ABOUT SIX TIMES NOW WHERE THE CAR MUST BE PULLED TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD (IF POSSIBLE) AND RESTARTED. DURING RESTART, THE ENGINE HESITATES/SPUTTERS FOR ABOUT 5 SECONDS BEFORE RETURNING TO SEEMINGLY NORMAL OPERATION. AT NO OTHER TIME DOES THE CAR ACT LIKE THIS. NORMALLY IT WILL HAVE NO PROBLEMS STARTING UP. JUST LAST NIGHT, I WENT TO LEAVE AND WAS UNABLE TO TAKE THE CAR OUT OF PARK. AFTER A QUICK SEARCH I FOUND THAT THE CAR MAY HAVE A LOOSE OR BAD SHIFTING CABLE. ANOTHER ISSUE THAT SEEMS TO BE REOCCURRING IN THESE CARS. MY 14 GT HAS 64K MILES AND HAS ALWAYS RECIEVED ROUTINE MAINTENANCE.

I RECENTLY PURCHASED MY DODGE DART 2014 IN AUGUST OF 2018. I PURCHASED THE CAR WITH AROUND 26,000 MILES ON IT. GREAT CONDITION, EXCELLENT MILEAGE, NO ACCIDENTS, AND ONLY ONE OWNER. I HAVE ONLY HAD THE CAR FOR 5 MONTHS. I USE IT MAINLY AS A COMMUTER CAR. IT STARTED HAVING ISSUES ALMOST AS SOON AS WE GOT IT. THEY WERE FIRST MINOR THINGS. UNTIL NOVEMBER 2018. MY CARS BATTERY DIED AND REFUSED TO START. I HAD TO REPLACE OUT OF POCKET DUE TO IT NOT BEING COVERED BY WARRANTY. IT WAS HAVING ISSUES STARTING, I THOUGHT THAT IT WAS DUE TO IT BEING COLD (BECAUSE IT WOULD BE FINE ONCE IT HEATED UP), SO AT FIRST THOUGHT NOTHING OF IT. IT WOULD START UP AND I WOULD DRIVE IT LESS THEN A MILE, I WOULD START TO SLOW DOWN AND EVERYTHING WOULD SHUT OFF. THE HEATER AND THE LIGHTS WOULD STILL BE ON BUT IT WOULD LOOSE ACCELERATION AND THE BATTERY LIGHT WOULD COME ON. IT WILL DO THIS MULTIPLE TIMES UNTIL THE CAR IS WARM(EVEN THEN IT WILL CONTINUE TO DO IT AFTERWARD). RPM DROPS TO ZERO, CHECK ENGINE, ELECTRONIC THROTTLE CONTROL, AND BATTERY LIGHT ALL COME ON. THIS IS A SAFETY HAZARD DUE TO IT STOPPING IN TRAFFIC, ON THE HIGHWAY, AND IN INTERSECTIONS. SOMETHING NEEDS TO BE DONE ABOUT THIS ISSUE. I HAVE READ UP ON THIS ISSUE AND SEE THAT I LOT OF PEOPLE HAVE THIS ISSUE. MY CAR IS CURRENTLY AT 24% OIL LIFE, I WILL BE TESTING TO SEE IF THE ISSUE IS RESOLVED(TEMPORARILY) LIKE OTHERS HAVE BEEN. DUE TO FEAR OF IT NOT BEING COVERED UNDER WARRANTY I HAVE NOT TAKEN IT TO THE DEALER. THEY QUOTED ME AT $400 DOLL

THE CAR TURNS OFF WHEN AT A STOP ESPECIALLY WHEN MAKING A RIGHT HAND TURN OR SLOWING DOWN. THE CAR GIVES YOU NO WARNING NO LIGHTS COME ON IT JUST TURNS OFF. THE CAR HAS BEEN AT THE MECHANIC FOR OVER A WEEK AND THEY CAN NOT DIAGNOSE THE PROBLEM BECOMES IT COMES BACK ON AFTER 3-4 ATTEMPTS. THIS IS A EXTREME SAFETY CONCERN FOR THAT IT TURNS OFF COMPLETELY WHEN AT A STOP OR A LIGHT. THIS CAN CAUSE A ACCIDENT AND THE PROBLEM CAN NOT BE DIAGNOSED YET.

SUDDEN STALLING AT ANY SPEED, BEEN TO TOWBIN DODGE IN HENDERSON NEVADA, THEY SAY THEY ALL DO THAT WHEN IT NEEDS AN OIL CHANGE, SO I ASKED THEM, THERE IS ONLY 500 MILES SINCE U GUYS JUST CHANGED IT, THEY HOOKED UP A SCANNER AND SAID NO CODES CARS FINE. I SAID IT SHUTS OFF FOR NO REASON, THE STEERING GETS SUPER STIFF WHEN THE CAR DIES, AND IT'S A PUSH BUTTON START SYSTEM, THEN IT MAKES A FUNNY NOISE, AFTER A FEW ATTEMPTS IT WILL START UP AND BE FINE FOR A WEEK OR SO, SOMETIMES IT STALKS 2 TO 3 TIMES IN A MILE. I'VE BEEN READING ABOUT THE DODGE DART WITH THEV2.4 LTR ENGINE STALLS FOR NO REASON, THIS IS A HUGE SAFETY ISSUE. THE DEALER STILL INSISTS IT'S AN OIL CHANGE TIMER IN THE COMPUTER THAT GETS YOU TO CHANGE THE OIL. I STRONGLY DISAGREE WITH THAT REASONING TO STALL THE CAR OUT ON THE FREEWAY OR INTERSECTION BECAUSE IT NEEDS AN OIL CHANGE.

ISSUE #1: BRAKES WHEN ATTEMPTING TO COME TO A STOP (WHETHER IT BE A RED LIGHT, A STOP SIGN, OR A SUDDEN STOP DUE TO HEAVY TRAFFIC ON THE HIGHWAY) THE BRAKES FAIL TO FULLY GRASP MAKING ME SUSCEPTIBLE TO RAMMING THE PERSON IN FRONT OF ME FROM BEHIND. ISSUE #2: ENGINE? ON TWO SEPARATE OCCASIONS, THE CAR HAS SUDDENLY JUST SHUT OFF WHILE DRIVING. THERE IS NO PRIOR WARNING TO THIS OCCURRING. ENGINE JUST COMPLETELY SHUTS OFF AND THAT LEADS ME TO SUDDEN MISSES IN BEING HIT FROM BOTH INCOMING TRAFFIC AND TRAFFIC FROM BEHIND. BATTERY IS BRAND NEW SO THAT IS NOT THE ISSUE, ESPECIALLY SINCE THE CAR WILL EVENTUALLY START AFTER SEVERAL ATTEMPTS. I TOOK IT TO MY LOCAL MECHANIC WHO WAS UNABLE TO DUPLICATE THE ISSUE. FIRST TIME IT HAPPENED WAS IN AUGUST 2018, THE PAST TIME IT HAPPENED WAS NOVEMBER 2018.

THE ENTIRE CAR IS SHAKING. THE CAR IS ROUGH IDLING. I HAD MY FOOT ALL THE WAY ON THE GAS AND IT WOULDN'T GO ABOVE10 MILES PER HOUR. THIS HAPPENED BEFORE AND THE DEALERSHIP FIXED IT AND SAID THE CYLINDERS WERE MISFIRING

THE BRAKE PEDAL SINKS IN AND INCREASES THE BRAKING DISTANCE. IT HAPPENED EVERY ONCE IN A WHILE BUT RECENTLY IT STARTED HAPPENING MORE OFTEN AND HAS GOTTEN WORSE. THE BRAKE SINKS IN COMPLETELY NOW AND IT DOES NOT BRAKE UNLESS U RELEASE IT AND PUSH DOWN AGAIN.

WENT TO GET IN MY CAR AND THE ALARM SYSTEM ACTIVATED AND IT WILL NOT START. ALSO THE MOTOR CONSUMES OIL AT AN ALARMING PACE TO THE POINT I HAVE TO TAKE OIL WITH ME WHEN I GO ANYWHERE. BECAUSE IF I DON'T IT WILL GET LOW AND THE CAR WILL LOSE ALL POWER WHILE I'M DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD. THIS IS UNSAFE AND NEEDS TO BE FIXED ASAP ESPECIALLY SINCE I HAVE KIDS. CAR STILL WILL NOT START

MY VEHICLE IS NOT LISTED UNDER THE RECALL FOR TRANSMISSION CONTROL MODULE FAILURE ALTHOUGH IT DID SHIFT INTO NEUTRAL AND CAUSED MY VEHICLE TO BE INOPERABLE. IF THE TRANSMISSION SHIFTS INTO NEUTRAL, IT CAN CAUSE LOSS OF MOTIVE POWER, INCREASING THE RISK OF A VEHICLE CRASH. MY VEHICLE WAS STATIONARY BEING SHIFTED INTO DRIVE, AFTER THE SHIFTER WAS MOVED THE VEHICLE IMMEDIATELY MOVED INTO THE NEUTRAL POSITON AND WOULD NOT MOVE UP OR DOWN IN ORDER TO PARK IT. THE EMERGENCY PARKING BRAKE WAS PULLED IN ORDER TO KEEP THE VEHICLE STATIONARY AND THE ENTIRE SIDE OF THE CAR WHERE THE ISSUE WAS HAD TO BE REMOVED, I.E THE BATTERY AND THE COMPARTMENT THAT HOLDS THE BATTERY IN ORDER TO GAIN ACCESS TO THE FAULTY PART AND TO BE ABLE TO REMOVE AND INSTALL A NEW PART. MY VEHICLE HOWEVER DID THIS BECAUSE OF A FAULTY SHIFT BUSHING PART THAT HAS WITHERED AWAY AFTER ONLY 4 YEARS. THE CABLE UNEXPECTEDLY RELEASED ITSELF FROM THE BUSHING.

UPON FIRST DRIVING EVERY TIME IT DECELERATION AND IT A COMPLETE STOP THE CAR SHIFTS INTO NEUTRAL AND POWERS DOWN. THIS HAS HAPPENED TEN DAYS IN A ROW.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 DODGE DART. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 35 MPH, THE VEHICLE SUDDENLY STOPPED ACCELERATING WHILE THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL WAS DEPRESSED. THE DRIVER DISCOVERED THAT THE TRANSMISSION SHIFTER HAD ERRONEOUSLY SWITCHED FROM THE DRIVE POSITION INTO NEUTRAL. THE CONTACT INDICATED THAT THE FAILURE OCCURRED ON TWO SEPARATE OCCASIONS. ALSO, WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 65 MPH, THE VEHICLE SUDDENLY STALLED. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED FROM THE SCENE. THE FAILURES WERE NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE LOCAL DEALER (FRANK FLETCHER DODGE, 5922 WARDEN RD, SHERWOOD, AR) AND THE MANUFACTURER WERE NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURES. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 99,000.

CAR STUCK ON NUETRAL. CAR WON'T RETURN KEY. THE KEY IS STUCK IN THE VEHICLE WHILE THE VEHICLE REMAINS ON NUETRAL.

VEHICLE STALLS WHILE MOVING FOR NO REASON, SEVERAL DASH LIGHTS COME ON

CAR KEEPS STALLING ON ROAD AND NOT STARTING. THIS IS AN ISSUE THAT NEEDS TO BE RECTIFIED. SEVERAL OTHERS HAVE REPORTED THE ISSUES AS WELL AS FAR BACK AS 2016. DODGE NEEDS TO DO SOMETHING ON BEHALF OF CUSTOMERS TO CLEAR THIS HORRIBLE SAFETY HAZARD.

WHEN DRIVING I CAN HEAR RATTLING GOING OVER BUMPS COMING FROM THE FRONT OF THE CAR. I INSPECTED THE BRAKE CALIPER AND IT IS NOT TIGHT AGAINST THE BRAKES PADS
