2014 Dodge Dart Other Problems

Your car sometimes won't shift fully into Park after you park it, and the key fob gets stuck in the ignition so the dashboard lights stay on and drain the battery. After waiting 5-45 minutes, you hear a click and can finally turn off the engine and remove the key. This happens frequently enough to be concerning, especially when you're away from home. You've also noticed that after starting the car and putting it in Reverse, it sometimes tries to back up on its own as if the gas pedal is pressed, even though your foot is on the brake. The dealer's diagnostic scanner found no error codes, and replacing the key fob didn't solve the problem. The issue may be related to a known brake cable recall for your vehicle.

Your Dodge Dart has multiple active recalls that need to be addressed for safety reasons. You've contacted Mopar and several dealerships, but none have followed up or scheduled the repair work despite promises to do so. You're concerned about the safety risk of unresolved recalls and unsure how to move forward. You may need to escalate this through NHTSA or contact Dodge corporate directly to ensure the dealership completes the recalled repairs.

Your car's engine won't turn off when you put it in park and try to shut it down. This is an ongoing issue that prevents normal vehicle shutdown. The problem likely involves the ignition switch, engine control module, or related electrical components that control the engine shutdown sequence.

Your car's shifter cable or bushing broke again, leaving your car stuck in park and unable to drive. This same part was repaired under recall in December 2019, but your Dodge dealer refuses to fix it again because they say the recall coverage expired after 2 years. The repair will likely involve replacing the shifter cable and bushing assembly that connects your shifter to the transmission.

The vehicle's shifter cable brushing was what was originally recalled. The dealership I visited informed me that the vehicle still has concerns about not being able to recognize when the car is in park. This means the vehicle is still unsafe to drive and a remedy has not yet been released for this. The dealership in question was Sky Dodge in Provo UT.

You received a recall notice (U90) for your 2014 Dodge Dart over a year ago, but when you contacted the dealership to schedule the repair, they added you to a waiting list and never called you back—it's now been 10 months with no follow-up. You're frustrated with the lack of communication and want to know why such a large company is taking so long to complete the recall repair. Contact the dealership directly again or reach out to Dodge customer service to get scheduled for the recall service work.

Unknown, my car since ive got it has steadily ran way too hot for my comfort zone it does not redline. But it runs sometimes past 223-225 and i feel like i have to pull over and that is not safe. I have had it checked out NUNEROUS times and have been told nothing is wrong but genuinely that does not add up to me.

I had the V34 recall done on 1-2-2020 and now for the last 2 weeks 9-12 through 9-22-2022 my vehicle will not go into park properly. I am scared it will roll into a crash. I transport my grandchildren in this vehicle and I’m scared for their safety. Does this need another recall? I’m scared to drive this vehicle. I only have 45135 original miles on this vehicle! Is this vehicle a lemon?? I have had all recalls performed on this vehicle. Please let me know what is going to happen with this issue. Thank you in advance.

1. Unknown, but podsibly the following: shifter mechanism, transmission linkage, and/or some other mechanism 2. The key is not releasing upon parking, this happens in dangerous areas and in compromising locations that have put my life at risk. I was unable to leave my car and a man with a knife approached me while I was facing this issue. It has happened several time and has happened another time with my husband also in the car and and a mentally ill man approached us as we tried to wait for the key to release. It is inconsistent and can take 0 seconds to 1 hour to release. 3. I showed the dealership near me during my recall repairs, and it happened once with them, but I'm unsure if they documented it. 4. The mechanism(s)/part(s) involved are not known, but the recent recall repair I had done involved a transmission bushing replacement. 5. It has not been inspected by any of the types of people stated, as I'm unsure how to even begin to have this checked out without it being an undue burden. This appears to be a massive issue with these vehicles, as there are many videos and forums online discussing the issue and no one has a consistent fix. Some say it's a plastic piece that must press a button to release the key. Some say it is a transmission linkage issue. No one has a universal answer for the same issue. 6. No signals, signs, or lights have ever appeared for this issue. It began in 2017 and I have had dozens of people look at it with no permanent solution. Today was the longest though, it took a fill hour to release the key.

THE CLOT HAS GOT STUCK IN TUE RED LIGHT AT THE STREET , CAN'T MOVE THE CAR, THE STICK GOT STUCK,NEEDED TO PUSH THE CAR TO PUT IT OUT OF THE ROAD

WHEN YOU STOP, PUT VEHICLE IN PARK AND TRY TO SHUT OFF THE CAR IT WILL SAY 'VEHICLE NOT IN PARK' AND WILL NOT SHUT OFF.

FOR A WEEK NOW MY DART HAS RANDOM STOPPED REGISTERING IT'S IN PARK WHEN IT IS IN PARK. AFTER I SHIFT GEARS, IT ILLUMINATES ON THE DASH THAT IT'S NOT IN PARK AND DOES NOT ALLOW ME TO SHUT THE CAR OFF FOR UP TO 5 MINS

CLUTCH MALFUNCTION PREVIOUS RECALL.

UNABLE TO GET KEY OUT OF THE IGNITION WHEN PUT IN PARK.

UNABLE TO GET CAR IN PARK TO SHUT OFF THE CAR, AND GET KEY OUT. THIS HAPPENED WHERE EVER I PARK. IT EVEN HAPPENED AT THE GARAGE. *TR

EVERY MORNING AFTER I START MY CAR I DRIVE DOWN THE STREET AND IT STALLS MID TRAFFIC. IT DOES IT MULTIPLE TIMES. I HAVE TO DRIVE AROUND MY NEIGHBORHOOD TIL VEHICLE STALLS 4-5 TIMES THEN DRIVES OK. SAFETY ISSUE. I HAVE NOTICED THAT SOME OF THE CARS HAVE BEEN RECALLED BUT NOT MINE

6 SPEED MANUAL CLUTCH GAVE KICK BACK BEHAVIOR WHERE THE SHIFTER JUMPED OUT OF GEAR WHILE DRIVING. THIS HAPPENED 3 TIMES IN ONE DAY WHILE DRIVING. ONCE TURNING ONTO A BUSY RD AT GREEN LIGHT, AFTER CHANGING GEARS GETTING INTO HIGHWAY THE NEXT, 3RD WAS AS I WAS DRIVING ON SIDE ROAD AFTER TURNING ONTO IT A MINUTE PRIOR. ALREADY UP TO SPEED. THEN WITHIN A FEW DAYS (4) THE CLUTCH WENT OUT COMPLETELY WITH NO USABILITY. NOW IT IS STUCK. LARGE REPAIR COSTS. I HAVE BEEN QUOTED UP TO 4,000$ FOR ALL REPAIRS BECAUSE THESE CARS HAVE A REPEATED HISTORY OF THIS HAPPENING WITH NO AFTERMARKET PARTS THAT WOULD BE MORE SOLID TO REPLACE IT WITH. OEE PARTS HAVE TO BE DEFECTIVE! I FINANCED THIS VEHICLE LATE AUGUST 2019 AND MID DECEMBER THIS OCCURRED QUICKLY AND IS AN ABSOLUTE LOSS AT THE MOMENT.

I HAVE BEEN HAVING TROUBLE WHEN TURNING OFF THE CAR THE KEY GETS STUCK AND I CAN'T TAKE IT OUT OF THE IGNITION UNLESS I JIMMY MY GEAR SHIFT. I NOTICED THE 2014 IS RECALLED AND I PUT MY VIN IN AND IT SAID MY CAR IS IN FACT RECALLED. WHAT CAN I DO? I AM GOING TO PUT TODAY'S DATE BECAUSE IT HAPPENED TODAY, BUT IT HAPPENS PRETTY MUCH EVERY DAY.

MY SHIFTER CABLE HAS BROKE ON MY CAR. I'M BEING TOLD THERE IS A RECALL ON THIS PART BUT THERE IS NOTHING DODGE CAN DO ABOUT THIS UNTIL NOVEMBER DUE TO NOT HAVING A PART YET. THEREFORE I AM STUCK WITH A UNDRIVABLE 2014 CAR THAT CANT BE FIXED AND NO ONE WILL DO ANYTHING TO HELP ME FIX IT NOR WILL THEY PUT ME IN A RENTAL UNTIL THE PART COMES IN. I'VE ALSO BEEN TOLD THEY CANT DO ANYTHING TO GET THE CAR BACK ON THE ROAD UNTIL THE PART COMES IN. I'M CONFUSED AS TO WHY I HAVE EVEN GOTTEN A RECALL NOTICE ON A PART DODGE CAN NOT FIX OR WHY THEY CANT AT LEAST GET MY CAR FIXED ENOUGH TO BE ON THE ROAD UNTIL THIS PART COMES IN. THIS WILL BE MY FIRST AND LAST DODGE AND I WILL FILE A COMPLAINT WITH THE BBB AS WELL.

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.

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.

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.

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,

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.

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

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.

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.

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

MY SON WAS DRIVING HIS CAR TO HIS FRIENDS HOUSE. WHEN HE ARRIVED HE PARKED HIS CAR. ABOUT 30 MIN LATER WHEN HE WAS READY TO LEAVE THE CAR WOULD NOT SWITCH GEARS. LUCKILY MY FRIEND IS A MECHANIC AND HE CHECKED OUT THE CAR AND SAID IT WAS THE TRANSMISSION CONTROL MODULE. MY SON HAS ONLY HAD THE CAR FOR A FEW MONTHS. I LOOKED ONLINE AND SEVERAL PEOPLE HAVE BEEN COMPLAINING OF THE SAME ISSUE. WHEN I CHECKED THE SYSTEM SAID THERE WERE NO RECALLS FOR THAT VIN #. I BELIEVE THIS ISSUE NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED AND PEOPLE LIKE ME WHO HAVE HAD TO COME OUT OF POCKET TO FIX THIS ISSUE SHOULD BE REIMBURSED.

MY 2014 DODGE DART AERO 1.4 TURBO WILL GO INTO LIMP MODE AND I HAVE TO STOP AND TURN MY CAR COMPLETELY OFF AND RESTART IS IT HAS DONE IT SEVERAL TIMES NOW AND I'VE TAKEN IT TO 2 OR 3 DIFFERENT DODGE DEALERSHIPS AND THEY SAY THEY CANNOT DUPLICATE THE PROBLEM I AM HAVING.

MY VEHICLE SHUTS DOWN WHILE DRIVING. I HAVE A BATTERY UNDER WARRANTY. I'VE GONE TO THE STORE WHERE THE BATTERY WAS PURCHASED TWICE AND WAS TOLD THE BATTERY AND ALTERNATOR ARE GOOD. I'VE HAD TWO DIFFERENT AUTO MECHANICS CHECK MY CAR AND WAS TOLD THE SAME AS THE ABOVE. ONE MECHANIC TOLD ME WHEN HE APPLIED A DIAGNOSTIC TOOL TO MY CAR, SEVERAL FACTORY CODES COME UP. I WAS TOLD TO TAKE MY CAR TO A DODGE DEALER SERVICE CENTER, WHICH I PLAN TO DO ON MONDAY 2//12/18. I'M FILING THIS COMPLAINT BECAUSE MY NEIGHBOR'S FRIEND AND MY SISTER'S MALE FRIENDS GIRLFRIEND BOTH OWN DODGE DARTS AND ARE EXPERIENCING THE SAME PROBLEM. OUR CARS WILL SHUT OFF WHILE DRIVING. MY BATTERY INDICATOR LIGHT COMES ON, HOWEVER WHEN TESTED, THE BATTERY AND ALTERNATOR INDICATES THEY ARE OKAY. AS I SAID ABOVE, I'VE HAD THE BATTERY AND ALTERNATOR TESTED AT LEAST FOUR TIMES. EACH TIME I EXPERIENCED THIS PROBLEM MY CAR WAS IN MOTION ON A STREET.

2014 DODGE DART RALLEYE SXT STALLS WHILE DRIVING. I HAVE HAD THE BATTERY AND ALTERNATOR TESTED. THE ALTERNATOR TEST ALWAYS YIELDED A PASSING SCORE BUT THE BATTERY SCORE WAS OFF AND ON. I HAD THE BATTERY REPLACED FOR THAT REASON AND STILL HAVE ISSUES WITH THE CAR STALLING WHILE DRIVING. I'VE TAKEN IT INTO THE DODGE DEALERSHIP AND LEFT WITHOUT A SOLUTION. THE CAR STALLED IN SEVERAL PLACES BUT MAINLY WHEN I AM SLOWING DOWN AT A STOP SIGN/LIGHT OR BEHIND BACKED UP TRAFFIC.

THE CAR WAS DYING AT LIGHTS, ONRAMPS, OFFRAMPS, JUST BASICALLY ANYTIME THE OIL SLOSHED AROUND ENOUGH TO LOSE OIL PRESSURE AND SHUT OFF. AFTER 4K MILES, 40% OIL LIFE LEFT ACCORDING TO THE MONITOR, THE OIL DOESN'T EVEN REGISTER ON THE DIPSTICK, HAD TO ADD 2-3 QUARTS. WENT TO DODGE DEALERSHIP, DEALT WITH CHRYSLER CASE #'S AND REPS, WAS PROMISED A FIX AND NEVER GOT IT. OH YEAH, THE DEALERSHIP TRIED TO CHARGE ME HUNDREDS OF DOLLARS. HAD TO ARGUE WITH CHYRSLER CORPORATE FOR WEEKS TO GET THEM TO PAY. IS IT BURNING? LEAKING? IT'S A MANUFACTURING DEFECT FOR SURE. THE EPA WOULD HAVE A FIELD DAY. THEIR EMISSIONS ARE PROBABLY COMPLETELY OUT THE WINDOW IF THEY ARE BURNING THAT MUCH OIL, OR RELEASING IT INTO THE WILD 1 DROP AT A TIME. I'VE NEVER SEEN ANY ACCUMULATING OIL IN THE GARAGE OR MY PARKING SPOT AT WORK.I DON'T THINK THE EPA WOULD LIKE KNOWING BARRELS MORE OF OIL ARE BEING USED THAN ADVERTISED. ALSO, THE CAR HAS STALLED IN THE MIDDLE OF AN INTERSECTION WITH CARS COMING UP BEHIND ME. IT'S ALWAYS BEEN TO/FROM WORK OR SOMETHING LIKE THAT, AND NEVER WITH MY KIDS AND FAMILY IN THE CAR. BUT YOU'D HAVE TO THINK THAT'S A HUGE LAWSUIT/TRAGEDY WAITING TO HAPPEN, AND YET CHRYSLER COMPLETELY SAYS THAT'S WITHIN REASONABLE SPEC. WHERE THE HELL WAS THIS "SPEC" WHEN I PURCHASED THE CAR? THE NEW STICKER DIDN'T SAY "GREAT GAS MILEAGE, AWESOME NAV UNIT, BURNS 1QT OF OIL PER WEEK" ON THE WINDOW. 20 YEAR OLD CARS HAVE OIL LEVEL SENSORS, AND WARNINGS ABOUT THAT. WHY DOES THIS NEW AGE CAR, NOT HAVE AN OIL SENSOR ON IT TO AT LEAST WARN US OF IMPENDING DOOM WHEN THE CAR STALLS MAKING A SIMPLE TURN? THERE WAS A DEALERSHIP FRANCHISE CHAIN DOWN IN PHOENIX COMPLETELY REPLACING PEOPLE'S ENGINES FOR FREE WITH THE 2.4L TIGERSHARK (I THINK SOME JEEPS AND FIAT'S HAVE THEM AS WELL). I ALSO HEARD RUMORS THAT SOMEWHERE ALONG THE LINES OF 30% OF 2.4L'S HAD THE PISTON RINGS IN BACKWARDS?

MY VEH 2014 DODGE DART SXT AS I WAS DRIVING WAS STUCK IN DRIVE & COULDN'T GE IT OUT OF DRIVE OR TAKE MY KEY OUT BUT AS I GO ONLINE TO SEE HAS ANY OTHER DODGE DART BEEN HAVIN THIS PROBLEM & IT WAS A LOT OF VEHICLES HAVIN THIS SAME ISSUE I COULD'VE WRECK MY VEH WHILE DRIVIN BUT I GUESS WHOM EVER MADE THESE VEHICLES DOESN'T CARE BECAUSE THE DEALERSHIP STATED THIS IS 1 VIN# THAT ISN'T COVERED UNDER RECALL BUT MY VEHICLE IS DOIN THE SAME EXACT THING AS THE OTHER DODGE DART

IN THE PAST TWO WEEKS MY CAR HAS STALLED OUT 3 TIMES AND IT HAS BEEN UNABLE TO START BACK UP. I'VE HAD THE BATTERY REPLACED AND MECHANICS CANNOT DETERMINE THE ISSUE. THE STALLING HAS OCCURRED BETWEEN 2-5 MINUTES OF DRIVING AND ALWAYS WHILE IN MOTION. THIS HAS HAPPENED TO ME IN THE MIDDLE OF MORNING RUSH HOUR ON CITY STREETS EACH TIME AND I HAVE BEEN LUCKY ENOUGH TO PULL OVER TO THE SIDE BEFORE LOSING ALL MOMENTUM AND BEING STUCK IN THE MIDDLE OF THE ROAD. WHEN IT STALLS OUT ALL THE DASHBOARD LIGHTS FLASH ON AND THE ENGINE DIED. TWO OF THE TIMES HAPPENED AFTER MAKING A 90 DEGREE TURN, AND ONE TIME IT HAPPENED AFTER JUST GOING AROUND A CURVE IN THE ROAD. IT ALSO SEEMS TO OCCUR AS I AM ACCELERATING OR DECELERATING. WHEN TRYING TO TURN IT BACK ON, THE LIGHTS AND ELECTRONICS WILL TURN BACK ON BUT THE ENGINE WILL NOT TURN. I HAVE NOTICED SEVERAL COMPLAINTS FOR THE SAME ISSUE AND I HAVE LOOKED UP MY VIN ON THE NHTSA WEBSITE BUT IT IS NOT UNDER ANY RECALLS. I HAVE ALREADY SPENT $265 + AAA TOWING FEES ON THIS ISSUE. THE THREE DATES THAT THIS HAS OCCURRED TO ME ARE: 3/17/17, 3/24/17, AND NOW 3/27/17. I AM KEEPING ALL MY RECEIPTS AND I WILL CONTACT AAA TO SHOW THE PROOF OF THEIR TOWING/SERVICE.

CLUTCH PEDAL DOES NOT RETURN FROM DEPRESSED POSITION. I WAS DRIVING ON THE FREEWAY AND AS I WAS GOING TO GET OFF AN EXIT TO WORK I WENT TO DOWNSHIFT FROM 5TH GEAR TO 4TH AND MY CLUTCH PEDAL STUCK TO THE FLOOR. I WAS ABLE TO JUST BARELY GET TO 4TH GEAR BUT WHEN I WENT TO STOP ON THE EXIT AT THE RED LIGHT THE CLUTCH WAS STILL STUCK TO THE FLOOR AND WOULD NOT RELEASE. THE CAR WOULDNT MOVE AFTER THAT. I GOT IT PARKED IN A GAS STATION PARKING LOT AND CHECKED ALL FLUIDS ECT. WITH NO SIGN OF ANYTHING WRONG. EVENTUALLY I WAS ABLE TO GET THE CLUTCH TO RELEASE AND PARKED MY CAR AT WORK. I THEN HAD MY DAD AND BROTHER COME PICK THE CAR UP SINCE I COMMUTE TO WORK AND CANNOT AFFORD TO HAVE THIS HAPPEN IN RUSH HOUR TRAFFIC ON MY WAY HOME. THE CAR RAN FINE FOR THE MAJORITY OF MY DRIVE. I AM VERY FRUSTRATED AS THIS COULD HAVE BEEN A CATASTROPHIC INCIDENT.

THE LAST 6 MONTHS MY CAR IN THE MORNING HAS CLUTCH PROBLEMS. I START IT AND MY CLUTCH WILL STICK TO THE FLOOR UNTIL I EITHER USE MY FOOT OR HAND TO BRING IT UP. THEN I WILL HAVE TO PUMP THE CLUTCH MULTIPLE TIMES UNTIL IT STARTS WORKING. IT FEELS LIKE A SPONGE UNTIL IT GET PUMPED MULTIPLE TIMES THEN IT FINALLY FEELS LIKE IT IS WORKING NORMAL. THE LAST TIME IT HAPPENED WAS THIS MORNING.

THE TRANSMISSION CONTROL CLUTCH KEEPS DIS ENGAGING CAUSING THE VEHICLE TO GO INTO A NEUTRAL POSITION AND WILL NOT ALLOW THE CAR TO MOVE...THIS HAS HAPPENED 4 TIMES WITH THIS VEHICLE.

DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD, CAR SHUTS OFF. PULL TO SIDE OF THE ROAD. SMOKE COMING FROM UNDER THE HOOD, SO I OPEN THE HOOD AND FLAMES. FIRE DEPARTMENT HAD TO PUT IT OUT TOTAL LOSS. THIS HAS HAPPENED TO SEVERAL OF THESE CARS, ONE YOUNG GIRL ALMOST DIDN'T GET OUT IN TIME. I HATE TO THINK IF YOU HAD KIDS IN THE BACK IN CAR SEATS IF YOU COULD GET THEM OUT IN TIME. THESE CARS BURN UP QUICKLY. THE INSURANCE AND THE DEALERSHIP TOLD US ITS A MANUFACTURERS PROBLEM. CHRYSLER HAS GIVEN US THE RUN AROUND FOR 3 WEEKS NOW. THEY SENT OUT AN INSPECTOR AND HE WOULDN'T GIVE ME ANY INFORMATION. NOW I KEEP GETTING AN ANSWER MACHINE. I WILL SEND YOU OUR PICTURES. THESE ARE WEB-SITES WHERE PEOPLE HAVE REPORTED THIS PROBLEM. WE HAVEN'T PUT OUR INCIDENT ON THERE YET. I WONDER HOW MANY PEOPLE HAVEN'T? READ THIS GUYS STORY. WWW.CARCOMPLAINTS.COM/DODGE/DART/2014/ENGINE/ENGINE_FIRE.SHTML THIS GIRL ALMOST DIDN'T MAKE IT OUT. WWW-ODI.NHTSA.DOT.GOV CRASH:NO FIRE:YES NUMBER OF INJURIES:0 NUMBER OF DEATHS:0 MANUFACTURER: CHRYSLER (FCA US LLC) VEHICLE IDENTIFICATION NO. (VIN): 1C3CDFBB2ED... SUMMARY: OUR DAUGHTER WAS DRIVING OUR THREE-WEEK-OLD DODGE DART. IT BEGAN SMOKING AS SHE EXITED THE HIGHWAY AND, WITHIN SECONDS, SHE LOST HER ABILITY TO BRAKE AND STEER. THE CAR WAS COMPLETELY ENGULFED IN FLAMES WITHIN 1-2 MINUTES AND IS A TOTAL LOSS. SHE WAS ABLE TO GET OUT WITHOUT PHYSICAL INJURY BUT WAS EXTREMELY SHAKEN. THE FIRE DEPARTMENT PUT OUT THE FIRE. WE CAN PROVIDE PICTURES OF THE FIRE, SHOWING THE FLAMES SHOOTING MANY FEET INTO THE AIR AND THE CAR ENCASED IN SMOKE. *TR

BRAKES DON'T SEEM TO BE WORKING PROPERLY. I HAVE CONTACTED THE LOCAL DEALER AND THEY STATED THEY DON'T HAVE THE REPAIR FOR THE RECALL ALTHOUGH THEY KNOW IT'S A PROBLEM?

WHILE DRIVING MY 2014 DODGE DART 2.4 TIGERSHARK ENGINE, THE VEHICLE SHUT OFF. THE BATTERY INDICATOR LIGHT CAME ON ALL ELECTRONICS INSIDE THE CAR WERE STILL OPERATIVE. I HAD A WRECKER TAKE THE CAR TO THE DEALERSHIP. DIAGNOSTIC TEST SHOWED LOST COMMUNICATION WITH THE BODY CONTROL MODULE. LOOKED AT OIL AND IT WAS LOW. 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.
