2014 DODGE DART Complaints

WHEN TURNING THE CAR OFF, THE KEY FOB GETS STUCK IN THE IGNITION. THIS SOMETIMES CAN BE RESOLVED BY TURNING THE STEERING WHEEL, PRESSING ON THE BRAKE AND ADJUSTING THE SHIFTER FORWARD TO CLICK INTO PARK. IT'S AS IF THE SHIFTER IS NOT RECOGNIZING THE CAR IS IN PARK SO IT WILL NOT RELEASE THE KEY FOB. IT COULD USUALLY BY FIXED EASILY, NOW TAKES SOMETIMES 1-3 MINUTES; WHICH INCLUDES RESTARTING THE CAR AND PUTTING IT IN REVERSE OR DRIVE AND BACK INTO PARK. IT HAPPENS FREQUENTLY & THEN WILL STOP FOR A FEW DAYS. I TOOK MY CAR TO THE DEALERSHIP LAST WEEK FOR THIS ISSUE AND THE TRANSMISSION SLIPPING FROM DRIVE TO NEUTRAL WHILE I'M DRIVING AND THEY 'COULDN'T DUPLICATE THE PROBLEM' AS THEY STATED. HOWEVER, JUST THE PAST TWO DAYS IT'S HAPPENING AGAIN. THIS IS SIMILAR TO THE ISSUE FROM THE 2019 RECALL FOR THE BUSHING CABLES. THERE IS AN OBVIOUS ISSUE AS THIS IS NOT NORMAL. I DON'T KNOW WHAT TO DO TO FIX THIS IF THE DEALERSHIP SAYS THEY CAN'T FIND A PROBLEM. IS THERE A NEW RECALL OR OTHER SIMILAR COMPLAINTS? ESPECIALLY FROM OTHER DODGE DART OWNERS WHO ALSO HAD A PART REPAIRED IN 2019 DUE TO THE LAST RECALL? *TR

I'M ON THE FREEWAY DRIVING MY CAR AND IT STOPS IN MIDDLE OF THE ROAD . THE POWER STEERING WENT OUT ALSO. I ALMOST GOT HIT BY A CAR BEHIND ME .

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 DODGE DART. THE CONTACT STATED RECEIVED NOTIFICATION OF NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 19V293000 (POWER TRAIN). THE CONTACT TOOK THE VEHICLE TO STEVENS CREEK CHRYSLER JEEP DODGE RAM (4100 STEVENS CREEK BLVD, SAN JOSE, CA 95129) FOR THE RECALL REPAIR, HOWEVER, THE VEHICLE FAILED TO START AFTER IT WAS RETURNED. THE DEALER AGREED TO REPAIR THE VEHICLE AND HAD THE BATTERY REPLACED. THE CONTACT THEN RECEIVED ANOTHER UNKNOWN RECALL NOTIFICATION AND RETURNED TO THE DEALER FOR THE REPAIR. UPON RETURN OF THE VEHICLE, THE VEHICLE AGAIN FAILED TO START. THE DEALER THEN INFORMED THE CONTACT THAT THE STARTER FAILURE WAS DUE TO A DEFECTIVE TRANSMISSION ASSEMBLY, A PART THAT WAS NOT COVERED UNDER THE RECALL. THE MANUFACTURER HAD BEEN NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE AND REFERRED THE CONTACT TO NHTSA FOR ASSISTANCE. THE TRANSMISSION ASSEMBLY WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 75,000.

CAR OFTEN SHUDDERS AND JERKS WHEN SHIFTING GEAR FROM PARK. OFTEN TIMES IT WILL NOT SHIFT GEAR AND PRESENTS A MESSAGE SAYING 'SHIFT TO NEUTRAL AND THEN SHIFT TO DRIVE OR RESERVE.' THIS MESSAGE COMES UP WHEN IN PARK OR SOMETIMES WHEN STOPPED AT A LIGHT. SUCH AS STOPPED AT A LIGHT. SOMETIMES WHEN IT PRESENTS THIS MESSAGES, EVEN AFTER SHIFTING TO NEUTRAL SEVERAL TIMES, IT WILL STILL NOT MOVE AFTERWARDS WHILE IN DRIVE OR REVERSE.

BRAKES COMPLETELY FAILED WHILE CAR WAS STATIONARY. AT 75,000 MILES MASTER CYLINDER & POWER BRAKE BOOSTER FAILED. CAR WAS PURCHASED NEW ALSO. SEEMS TO BE RE-OCCURRING PROBLEM ON THESE DODGE DARTS. RECALL SHOULD BE ISSUED BEFORE SOMEONE GETS KILLED

ON NUMEROUS OCCASIONS I HAVE GOTTEN INTO MY VEHICLE, STARTED IT AND DROVE OFF. NOW, IF I DO NOT LET IT WARM UP FOR A FEW MINUTES AND GET IN AND START IT AND TAKE OFF, IT WILL STALL OUT WHEN I SLOW DOWN OR COME TO A STOP ON A FEW OCCASIONS THIS HAS HAPPENED LEAVING MY DRIVEWAY ON A BLIND HILL, ALMOST GETTING ME HIT IN THE DRIVERS DOOR. YESTERDAY, 2/12/2020, THIS AGAIN HAPPENED AND IT STALLED OUT ON ME TWO TIMES, ONCE WHILE TURNING AROUND LEAVING ME SIDEWAYS ACROSS THE ROAD. IT HAS HAPPENED AT VERY BUSY INTERSECTIONS, IT IS JUST RANDOM.I FEEL IT NEEDS TO BE LOOKED INTO. I DID LOOK IT UP AND SEE NUMEROUS PEOPLE ARE REPORTING THE SAME ISSUES. LAST TIME THIS HAPPENED WAS ON 2/12/2020 WHILE LEAVING MY DRIVEWAY EACH TIME, THE CAR WAS IN DRIVE WHEN IT STALLED AND PULLING OUT OF MY DRIVEWAY OR INTERSECTION.

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.
