2014 Dodge Dart complaints

IN OCTOBER OF 2015, I WAS DRIVING IN THE 105 HIGHWAY & AS I STEPPED ON THE BRAKES TO SLOW DOWN DUE TO TRAFFIC, THE BRAKES MADE A HIGH PITCHED SOUND LIKE AN AIR LEAKING. WE DID NOT GET THE VEHICLE CHECKED RIGHT AWAY BECAUSE I HAD ONLY HAD MY VEHICLE FOR A LITTLE OVER A YEAR AND IT WAS NEW. BY DECEMBER WE DECIDED TO HAVE OUR BRAKES CHECKED BY MY UNCLE DUE TO THE FACT THAT I HAD TO ADD MORE PRESSURE TO THE BRAKES, AND THE NOISE WERE MORE CONTINUOUS. AFTER IT WAS CHECKED, MY UNCLE SAID THE BRAKES WERE STILL BRAND NEW AND HAD NO DAMAGE WHATSOEVER. BY JANUARY OF 2016, WE RECEIVED OUR FIRST SAFETY RECALL NOTICE REGARDING ALL DODGE DARTS OF YEARS 2013 AND 2014. I CONTACTED MY DEALER TO MAKE AN APPOINTMENT TO HAVE THE VEHICLE REPAIRED BUT I WAS TOLD THEY WOULD SEND A LETTER WHENEVER THEY HAD THE APPROPIATE PARTS READY. BY MARCH OF 2016, I CONTACTED THE DEALER AGAIN AND TOLD ME THE SAME THING. AS OF TODAY, MAY 12, 2016, I HAVE RECEIVED ANOTHER SAFETY RECALL NOTICE AND NO LETTER OR NOTICE FROM MY DEALER. THE VEHICLE IS STILL MAKING THE NOISE AND WE STILL HAVE TO ADD PRESSURE TO THE BRAKES.

AFTER DRIVING THE VEHICLE FOR MORE THAN 15 OR 20 MINUTES, WHEN ACCELERATING FROM A STOP THE VEHICLE SHIFTS ERRATICALLY CAUSING THE VEHICLE TO JOLT AND OCCASIONALLY STALL. IT FEELS AS IF THE VEHICLE IS TRYING TO DOWNSHIFT BEFORE RETURNING TO THE APPROPRIATE GEAR. PROCEEDING FORWARD OR TURNING MAKES NO DIFFERENCE. I CONTACTED THE DEALER ABOUT THIS OVER A YEAR AGO AND WAS TOLD THE OIL NEEDED TO BE CHANGED. I CONTACTED THE DEALER AGAIN THIS WEEK AFTER SEEING THAT THE VEHICLE WAS POTENTIALLY PART OF A NATIONAL RECALL BUT WAS TOLD I COULD BRING THE VEHICLE IN TO SERVICE BUT IT WAS NOT PART OF THE RECALL (THE MAKE, MODEL AND DATE OF MANUFACTURE MATCH THE RECALL DATA BUT SINCE THE VIN ISN'T SPECIFICALLY LISTED AS BEING RECALLED ON THE SAFECAR.GOV WEB SITE IT WAS NOT COVERED). THIS HAS BEEN OCCURRING SINCE APPROXIMATELY 6 MONTHS AFTER PURCHASING THE VEHICLE AND CONTINUES UNTIL THIS DAY.

I HAVE A 2014 DODGE DART THAT IS BURNING OIL AT WHAT SEEMS TO ME TO BE AN ALARMING RATE. I HAVE HAD MY VEHICLE IN THE SHOP OVER 4 TIMES. I AM BEING TOLD I HAVE NO LEAKS AND MY CAR IS FINE, AND THAT IT IS CHARACTERISTIC THAT MY CAR NEEDS TO HAVE OIL ADDED EVERY 2K MILES. I DRIVE MY CAR TO AND FROM WORK AND I RARELY TRAVEL OUT OF STATE. I AM NOT OVER DRIVING OR ROUGH DRIVING MY CAR BY ANY MEANS. I HAVE SPENT OVER 1K DOLLARS IN RENTALS AND REPAIRS. I HAVE A 3 YEAR OLD SON THAT I DRIVE TO DAYCARE 4 DAYS A WEEK AND I CANNOT MENTALLY BE COMFORTABLE DRIVING MY SON IN A CAR THAT STOPS IN THE MIDDLE OF THE ROAD BECAUSE ITS OUT OF OIL. DODGE HAS DONE NOTHING TO HELP ME AND I AM SEEKING LEGAL ACTION.

THAT VEHICLE JUST SHUTS OFF HAS I'M DRIVING

DRIVER'S SIDE REAR WHEEL BEARING SHOT AFTER 39,000 MILES. LOUD HUMMING NOISE WHEN DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY AT FIRST. I DROVE ON IT FOR A COUPLE WEEKS AND THE NOISE GOT LOUDER.

I WAS TOLD BY AUTO TECHNICAN THAT THE AUTO SHUTS IT'S SELF OFF WHEN IT IS LOW ON OIL. THIS IS A VERY ALARMING SITUATION IF IT WOULD SHUT OFF WHILE DRIVING ON THE FREEWAY IN TRAFFIC I CALLED CHRYSLER AND REPORTED THIS. THE CALL CENTER STATED THAT SHE HAD 2 PEOPLE CALL THE DAY BEFORE AND 3 ON THE DAY I CALLED WITH THE EXACT PROBLEM. SHE SAID ALL THE CARS HAD OVER 20,000 MILES ON THEM.

I'M EXPERIENCING LOST OF ENGINE TORQUE WHEN SHIFTING ON FIRST GEAR DUE TO CLUTCH OPERATION COMPONENTS PARTS NOT WORKING PROPERLY. IN ONE OCCASION I WAS MAKING A RIGHT TURN INTO THE INTERSECTION, WHEN I ENGAGED FIRST GEAR AND TRY TO SHIFT TO SECOND GEAR THE CLUTCH WOULDN'T DISENGAGE OR COME BACK TO AT-REST POSITION. IT FELT LIKE AIR GOT INTO THE HYDRAULIC SYSTEM MAKING A LOOSE CLUTCH LINE CONNECTION DURING THE RELEASE OF THE CLUTCH, AFTER I HIT THE PEDAL WITH MY FOOT A FEW TIMES I WAS ABLE TO MAKE THE CLUTCH PEDAL TO COME BACK TO AT-REST POSITION. THIS WAS A VERY SCARY EXPERIENCE SINCE MY KIDS WERE RIDING WITH ME.

WHILE GAINING ACCELERATION ONTO THE FREEWAY, I WAS FORCED TO MAKE A SUDDEN STOP. I HAD PLENTY OF ROOM TO STOP SAFELY AND WAS NOT TRAVELING AT A HIGH RATE OF SPEED. I DEPRESSED THE BRAKE PEDAL AND THE CAR DID NOT STOP IN TIME TO AVOID A COLLISION WITH THE VEHICLE IN FRONT OF ME. THERE WERE NOT BRAKE MARKS ON THE ROAD AND IT FELT AS IF MY VEHICLE HIT THE ONE IN FRONT OF ME AT FULL SPEED. I BELIEVE THE BRAKES COMPLETELY FAILED ME AND THE ACCIDENT WOULD HAVE BEEN AVOIDED IF THE BRAKES HAD DONE WHAT THEY WERE SUPPOSED TO. OKLAHOMA CITY, OK INTERSTATE 40 AND MCARTHUR.

TIGER SHARK MULTI-AIR 2 ENGINE CONSUMES 1QT OIL PER 1000 MILES. I WAS UNAWARE OF THIS CONSUMPTION ISSUE AND THE OIL WENT TO LOW AND ENGINE IS DESIGNED TO SHUT OFF. THIS STALLING HAS HAPPEN 3 TIMES TO AND 1 TO THE DEALERSHIP. NONE OF THE CARS WARNING INDICATORS COME ON WHEN PRESSURE IS LOW THE CAR JUST STALLS. DEALERSHIP RESOLUTION WATCH OIL LEVEL AND THERE IS FIX FOR THE CONSUMPTION OR ANY WAY FOR THE WARNING LIGHTS TO BE TRIGGERED. SO IF I FORGET TO CHECK THE OIL I AM GAMBLING WITH MY LIFE AND OTHERS ON THE ROAD IF THE CAR STALLS WHILE ON THE HIGHWAY.

MY 2014 DODGE DART LOSES OIL. THE OIL INDICATOR LIGHT DOES NOT WORK. HOWEVER THE OIL IS NOT LEAKING ON THE GROUND AND ONCE THERE IS NO OIL AT ALL IN THE VEHICLE, IT SHUTS OFF WHILE DRIVING. THIS HAPPENS UPON TAKING OFF. THE CAR HAS TO PUT IN NEUTRAL IN ORDER TO START.

I TAKE MI CAR TO THE DEALER WEN I FIRST BUY NEW MORE THAN 15 TIMES AND THEY FOUND NOTHING AND THIS CAR IT'S CONTINUE WITH PROBLEMS IN NORMAL DAILY DRIVE. IDLE PROBLEMS IN THE ENGINE SUSPENSION NOISE TRANSMISSION SHIFTING NOT NORMAL IN DRIVE POSITION TIRES WEAR TO FAST EXHAUST SMELL FUEL TO STRONG IN ENGINE COOL TEMP ALL THIS HAPPEN IN STATIONARY AND DRIVING IN MOTION AND NORMAL DRIVE IS HAPPEN ALL THE TIME

RENTAL CAR DODGE DART, RENTED ON 11/23. NOT SURE WHAT MODEL YEAR IT WAS. THE IGNITION SWITCH SHUT OFF TWICE OVER FOUR HOURS OF DRIVING IT. ONCE AS I WAS PARKING IN A PARKING SPOT AND ONCE WHILE I WAS ON THE HIGHWAY TRAVELING AT 70MPH. WHEN I GOT HOME, I TRIED TO SEE WHAT CAUSED IT TO SHUT OFF AND NOTICED THAT MY KNEE WAS TOUCHING THE EXTRA KEY ON THE KEY RING, WHICH PUT A SLIGHT BIT OF PRESSURE ON THE KEY IN THE IGNITION SWITCH, CAUSING THE IGNITION TO TURN OFF QUITE EASILY. LUCKILY I WAS ABLE TO GET THE CAR RESTARTED WHILE DRIVING, AND THAT THE HIGHWAY WAS NOT CURVED. OTHERWISE, THE OUTCOME COULD HAVE BEEN MUCH WORSE.

VERY ROUGH SHIFTING AND SOMETIMES EXPERIENCE A BURNING SMELL AFTER ITS DRIVEN.

IN MID 2014, I WAS DRIVING THAT YEAR'S MODEL OF A CHEVY DART, RENTED FROM ENTERPRISE WHILE VISITING FRIENDS IN ARIZONA. ALONG HWY 17, THE ENGINE HAD SHUT OFF BRIEFLY. THE INTERIOR ELECTRICAL WAS STILL ON, BUT POWER STEERING AND BRAKES WERE GONE. THE EXTERIOR LIGHTS SHUT OFF, BUT I REMEMBER THE CABIN STILL HAD POWER BECAUSE I QUICKLY TURNED ON THE HAZARDS. I BELIEVE IT WAS A PLASTIC TURN-KEY, AND IT BEING REIGNITED, THAT ALLOWED ME TO REGAIN CONTROL. IT WAS A STEEP, WINDY ROAD. IT WAS ABOUT 10 AT NIGHT AND THERE WAS A LOT OF DARKNESS WITHOUT HEADLIGHTS.THERE WAS A BIG RIG IN THE NEXT LANE IN FRONT OF ME, AND HEAVY VEHICLES TO THE REAR. IT WAS DEFINITELY A CLOSE CALL.

JULY 14TH, 2014 I BOUGHT A DODGE DART VIN [XXX]. THE CAR WAS PROPERLY MAINTAINED. DID NOT HAVE PROBLEMS WITH THE CAR. WHILE DRIVING ON MAY 8TH, 2015. ON I-75 GOING ABOUT 70 MILES PER HOUR WITH THICK FLOW OF TRAFFIC. I HEARD AND FELT SOMETHING CRACK ON THE FRONT DRIVER SIDE OF MY CAR, UNDER MY FEET. THE CAR IMMEDIATELY PULLED LEFT AND HIT A CONCRETE BARRIER WALL. THE CAR THEN BOUNCED OFF A TOYOTA PRIUS. I LANDED IN THE DITCH ON THE RIGHT SIDE OF THE HIGHWAY MILE MARKER 299 IN PASCO COUNTY FLORIDA. MY FIRST COMPLAINT IS WHATEVER BROKE TO CAUSE THE ACCIDENT. WHICH I CANNOT BE SPECIFIC ABOUT BECAUSE I DON'T KNOW IF IT WAS THE AXEL OR WHAT YET. TAKING NOTE THAT NO ONE WAS HURT. MY SECOND COMPLAINT IS THAT NOT ONE OF MY 6 "ADVANCED"SAFETY AIRBAGS DEPLOYED IN MY CAB AFTER HITTING TWO OBJECTS AT THAT SPEED. AS TO WHY I DO NOT KNOW WHAT BROKE YET. I CALLED FOR DODGES ROADSIDE SERVICE, I WAS PICKED UP AND RODE WITH MY CAR TO THE NEAREST DODGE DEALERSHIP. JIM BROWNE CITRUS CHRYSLER JEEP DODGE RAM, IN DADE CITY. THIS DEALERSHIP DID NOT HAVE A BODY SHOP. I WAS TOLD BY THE MANAGER AT THE DEALERSHIP MY CAR WOULD BE TOWED TO THE BODY SHOP THEY USED. AS MY CAR WAS UNDER WARRANTY AND THE ACCIDENT REPORT REFLECTS MECHANICAL ERROR. AFTER THIS DAY I WOULD NOT SEE OR KNOW WHERE MY VEHICLE WAS FOR 46 DAYS WHEN THE TOWING COMPANY CALLED ME ABOUT STORAGE FEES FOR MY CAR THAT WE COULDN'T LOCATE. VIN INCORRECT INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6).'

IN NOVEMBER 2014 I NOTICED THAT MY AIR CONDITIONER/HEATER BLOWER FAN WOULD INTERMITTENTLY FAIL. IT CAUSED SIGNIFICANT SAFETY CONCERNS WHEN I COULD NOT DEFROST MY WINDOW, PARTICULARLY WHEN ACTIVELY DRIVING THE VEHICLE. EVERY DEALERSHIP I TOOK IT TO (FOUR OF THEM, MULTIPLE TIMES AT EACH DEALERSHIP) WAS UNABLE TO VERIFY WHETHER OR NOT OTHER COMPLAINTS HAD BEEN FILED, THUS THE DIFFICULTY WHICH ENSUED. AFTER NINE MONTHS OF CONTINUOUS PROBLEMS, THE DEALERSHIP FINALLY REPLACED MY AIR CONDITIONER BLOWER FAN, WHICH I HAD SUSPECTED TO BE THE PROBLEM FROM THE BEGINNING. DESPITE MY INFERENCE, THE DEALERSHIP INSISTED ON REPLACING THE ENTIRE CENTER STACK IN MY VEHICLE FIRST, WHICH FAILED TO RESOLVE THE PROBLEM. IT TOOK MONTHS TO CONVINCE THEM TO JUST REPLACE THE BLOWER FAN. TWO WEEKS AGO MY VEHICLE WAS FINALLY REPAIRED WHEN THE DEALERSHIP REPLACED THE BLOWER FAN.

"BRAKE FAILURE" WHEN I APPLIED THE BRAKES THE PEDDLE, THE BRAKE PEDAL SUDDENLY BECAME HARD TO DEPRESS AND THE DISTANCE NEEDED TO STOP INCREASE DRASTICALLY. IT WAS VERY DANGEROUS TO STOP THE CAR COMPLETELY. IF IT HAPPENED WHILE DRIVING ON FREEWAY, IT COULD HAVE HAPPENED AN ACCIDENT.

I PURCHASED MY DODGE DART IN OCT 2014. ON JULY 10 2015 I GOT INTO MY CAR AND NOTICED THE SPEEDOMETER WAS NOT WORKING. I RETURNED HOME AND CALLED THE DEALER TO GET IT TO THE SHOP. MY APPOINTMENT WAS FOR JULY 15 AND I DROPPED IT OFF THE EVENING OF THE 14TH. THEY CALLED ON THE 16TH OF JULY TO SAY MY VEHICLE WAS READY AND THAT THEY REPROGRAMMED THE COMPUTER. I WAS DRIVING IT THE NEXT DAY AND THE SPEEDOMETER WAS NOT WORKING AGAIN. I CALLED THE DEALER AND MADE THEM AWARE AND TOOK THE CAR BACK TO THEM. I ALSO PROVIDED VIDEO TO THEM SHOWING THE ISSUE AT HAND. THE DEALER CALLED ON THE 24TH OF JULY TO SAY I COULD COME AND PICK UP MY CAR UNTIL THE PART CAME IN TO REPAIR MY SPEEDOMETER ON AUGUST 5TH. THEY TOLD ME THEY DO NOT FEEL A SPEEDOMETER THAT DOES NOT WORK IS A SAFETY CONCERN.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 DODGE DART. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE SPEEDOMETER ON THE INSTRUMENT PANEL WAS INOPERABLE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER TO BE REPAIRED. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED; HOWEVER, THE FAILURE RECURRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE VIN WAS UNAVAILABLE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 14,000.

WHILE DRIVING I STARTED TO SLOW DOWN TO STOP AT A LIGHT AND MY CAR BEGAN TO JUMP AS IF IT WAS STAILING. MY CAR WAS BRAND NEW AT PURCHASING AND ABOUT FOUR MONTHS IN IT BEGAN TO SOUND LOUDER AS IF IT WAS A TEN YEAR OLD CAR. THAT OCCURED WHEN I CRUNK UP THE CAR TO WARM IT UP IN THE MORNING. READING OTHERS EXPERIENCES WITH THIS VEHICLE I BELIEVE IT SHOULD BE RECALLED FOR THE SAFETY OF EVERYONE BEFORE THINGS GET WORSE. AN ENGINE IS NOTHING TO TAKE LIGHTLY AND I HOPE THE COMPANIES REALIZE THAT.

WHILE DRIVING CLUTCH WILL LOSE COMPRESSION MAKING IT DIFFICULT TO SHIFT WITHOUT GRINDING GEARS. CLUTCH WILL GO ALL THE WAY TO THE FLOOR AND INHIBITED YOU FROM SHIFTING. I HAVE HAD TO SHIFT INTO NEUTRAL TO SLOW DOWN HOPING THE CLUTCH REGAINS COMPRESSION IN ORDER TO SHIFT INTO APPROPRIATE GEAR. THIS ALSO INHIBITS PROPER ACCELERATION WHEN SHIFTING GEARS.

I WAS AT A COMPLETE STOP, MY FOOT WAS PUSHED DOWN ON THE BRAKE AND IT SUDDENLY RELEASED FROM MY FOOT FOLLOWED BY A WHOOSHING SOUND. MY BRAKE SYSTEM FAILED, AND I HAD TO USE MY EMERGENCY BRAKE TO STOP MY VEHICLE AFTER I STARTED DRIVING IT. I HAD IT TOWED TO A DEALERSHIP AND THEY DIAGNOSED IT AS OIL LEAKING FROM THE ENGINE INTO THE BRAKE BOOSTER. ON 7/15/2015 MY CHECK ENGINE LIGHT APPEARED, FOLLOWED BY THE ENTIRE VEHICLE SHAKING UNCONTROLLABLY. I TURNED THE VEHICLE OFF, RESTATED IT AND THOUGH THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT STILL APPEARED, THE CAR NO LONGER SHOOK, AND THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT WENT OFF A COUPLE HOURS LATER. ON 7/23/2015 THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT REAPPEARED SO I TOOK IT INTO THE DEALERSHIP WHERE THEY ARE CURRENTLY TRYING TO DIAGNOSE WHAT IS WRONG WITH IT, BUT THINK IT HAS A VALVE PLUGGED OR AN ENGINE PROBLEM. BOTH OF THESE INCIDENTS OCCURRED AFTER I HAD AN OIL CHANGE COMPLETED ON THE VEHICLE.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 DODGE DART. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE ENGINE OIL WAS DEPLETING PREMATURELY. THE DEALER STATED THAT THE ENGINE MOTOR FAILED. THE DEALER STATED THAT THE MOTOR MAY NEED TO BE REBUILT. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 7,000.

WHILE DRIVING ON A LOCAL STREET (UNDER 30 MILES AN HOUR), I LOST CONTROL OF MY VEHICLE AND THE TIRE EXPLODED. I TRIED TO REGAIN CONTROL AND THE CAR JUMPED THE CURB. MY DAUGHTERS AND I WAS SHAKEN UP REALLY BAD. HAD I BEEN ON THE HIGH WAY IT WOULD HAVE BEEN A COMPLETELY DIFFERENT STORY. I HAVE THE DEALERSHIP INVESTIGATING IT NOW. *TR

ONE HOUR AFTER I ACCEPTED THIS AUTO WITH 7 MILES ON IT, THIS HAPPENED---- WHILE DRIVING, THE DISPLAY SCREEN WENT BLACK FOR A FEW MINUTES. IT HAPPENED ON A REGULAR BASIS. I KEPT TAKING THE CAR BACK TO THE DEALERSHIP UNTIL FINALLY ,THEY SAW IT WHILE IT HAD BLACKED OUT. THEY REPLACED THE RADIO DISPLAY. IT STILL KEEPS HAPPENING EVERY FEW MONTHS ,BUT THEY NEVER SEE IT . .ONE YEAR LATER, AFTER MANY VISITS, THEY PLAN TO REPLACE IT AGAIN. ALSO,WHEN I TOUCH THE KEY TO THE IGNITION IT OFTEN BUZZES LIKE AN ELECTRICAL SHORT, BUT IT WILL START .,THEY CANNOT DUPLICATE THIS OR FIND THE PROBLEM. IM SORRY I GOT STUCK WITH THIS CAR. THE PROBLEMS ARE NOT SOLVED .
