2014 DODGE DART Complaints

2014 DODGE DART. CONSUMER WRITES SEEKING REIMBURSEMENT FOR REPAIRS MADE RELATED TO A SAFETY RECALL 19V-293. *LD *JS *JS

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.

I WAS DRIVING TO WORK AND NOT EVEN A MILE FROM MY HOUSE WHEN I WAS COMING TO A STOP AT A STOP SIGN MY 2014 DODGE DART SXT STALLED. WHEN IT STALLED THE BATTERY LIGHT CAME ON AND I SHUT IT OFF. I WAS ABLE TO GET IT TO START THE NEXT TRY. THEN 7 DAYS LATER, I WAS DRIVING NO MORE THAN 30 SECONDS WHEN I WAS COMING TO A STOP AT ANOTHER STOP SIGN AND THE CAR STALLED AGAIN WITH THE BATTERY LIGHT COMING ON. I TRIED TO START IT AGAIN A FEW TIMES BUT WAS NOT SUCCESSFUL. I NEEDED A JUMP. I DROVE IT STRAIGHT TO A MECHANIC WHO RAN A FEW TESTS ON THE CAR INCLUDING CHECKING THE BATTERY AND CHARGING SYSTEM. HE SAID EVERYTHING LOOKED GOOD WHICH I FIGURED SINCE I JUST CHANGED THE BATTERY A YEAR AGO. I DROVE IT HOME. 2 DAYS LATER I WAS TWO BLOCKS FROM MY HOUSE WHEN IT STALLED FOR A THIRD TIME (MIND YOU THIS HAS NEVER HAPPENED BEFORE THESE OCCURRENCES). AGAIN, I WAS COMING TO A STOP AND THE CAR STALLED, THE BATTERY LIGHT CAME ON, AND I NEEDED TO HAVE A JUMP SINCE I COULDN'T GET IT TO START. AFTER RESEARCHING A BIT, THIS SEEMS TO BE A VERY COMMON ISSUE. A FEW PEOPLE SAID THAT CHANGING THE OIL OR ADDING MORE DID THE TRICK SO I CHECKED MY OIL AND IT WAS FINE PLUS I CHANGED THE OIL 3 MONTHS AGO SO IT ISN'T THAT. MOST CASES MENTIONED THAT THIS STARTED TO OCCUR AROUND THE 50,000 MILE MARK, WHICH IS ABOUT WHERE MINE IS. THERE REALLY SHOULD BE A RECALL ON THIS CAR ' IT'S A DEATH TRAP! WHEN THE CAR STALLS THE POWER STEERING GOES OUT AS WELL SO IF THIS HAPPENED ON THE HIGHWAY IT WOULD BE VERY DANGEROUS. THIS ISSUE COULD REALLY HURT SOMEONE AND DODGE REALLY NEEDS TO DO SOMETHING ABOUT IT OR FIND A SOLUTION. I TOOK MY CAR TO THE DEALERSHIP IN JENKINTOWN, PA TO GET LOOKED AT AND WAS INFORMED OF A FEW RECALLS BUT NONE THAT HAD TO DO WITH MY ISSUES. THE FACT THAT THIS IS CLEARLY A COMMON ISSUE IS VERY CONCERNING ESPECIALLY SINCE THERE SEEMS TO BE NO CLEAR SOLUTION.

CAR NOT RUNNING PROPERLY OR EVEN FUNCTIONING DUE TO AN ISSUE WITH THE BODY CONTROL MODULE. RUNNING ROUGH, SCREEN TO GPS BLACKING OUT. NO ABILITY TO EVEN TURN THE HEAT OFF/ON WHEN MALFUNCTIONING. THESE ARE ALL THINGS THAT OCCUR EITHER WHEN IDLING OR THE CAR IS IN MOTION.

VEHICLE ENGINE SHAKES FOR NO REASON, BACK CAMERA DOESN'T WORK. I WASN'T ABLE TO SHIFT MY VEHICLE UNTIL A PART WAS BOUGHT THAT WOULD ALLOW VEHICLE TO CHANGE GEAR. SUSPENSION WENT OUT ON FRONT AND BACK AROUND 50000 MILES TIL THIS DAY CAR SHAKES ON A REGULAR BASIS

WHEN PUTTING THE CAR IN PARK, THE CAR DOESN'T TURN OFF. WE BROUGHT IT TO THE DEALER TO GET A RECALL DONE, BUT THE PROBLEM WAS NEVER FIXED. I THINK DODGE JUST SENT THE NOTICE AND LIED ABOUT HOW TO FIX THE PROBLEM. THE DEALER, SURESKY, WANTED TO CHARGE TO HAVE THE DIAGNOSTICS DONE ON THE CAR, BUT SINCE THE RECALL WAS NEVER FIXED, I DON'T WANT TO PAY FOR THE DIAGNOSTICS. THE SAME PROBLEM STILL EXISTS.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 DODGE DART. WHILE DRIVING 30 MPH, THE VEHICLE BEGAN TO LOSE POWER. THE CONTACT DEPRESSED THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL, BUT THE VEHICLE FAILED TO ACCELERATE. THE CONTACT PULLED THE VEHICLE OVER AND NOTICED THAT THE BATTERY WARNING INDICATOR WAS ILLUMINATED. THE CONTACT WAS ABLE TO START THE IGNITION AND HEARD AN ABNORMAL NOISE. THE CONTACT WAS ABLE TO DRIVE HOME. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC, BUT THEY WERE UNABLE TO DUPLICATE THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE DEALER AND MANUFACTURER WERE NOT NOTIFIED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 50,405.

CAR STALLS WITHOUT WARNING IN ALL SORTS OF SCENARIOS, JUST STARTED, TURNING, STOPPING, UP HILL OR DOWN HILL. MULTIPLE INQUIRIES WITH CHRYSLER CORPORATE AND DEALERSHIPS RESULTED IN THEM TELLING ME THE CAR IS ENGINEERED TO ALLOW 1QT OF OIL BURNED EVERY 750 MILES, PER SPEC SHEET I HAD TO FIRMLY DEMAND TO BE ABLE TO SEE IT. WAS BASICALLY TOLD THERE IS NO PROBLEM THAT MY CAR DIES IN THE MIDDLE OF AN INTERSECTION WITH MY FAMILY IN IT, THEREBY THE POTENTIAL FOR A MAJOR CATASTROPHIC DEADLY SITUATION IS THERE. CHYRSLER CORPORATE CASES WERE CLOSED WITH NO RESOLUTION AND THEY NEARLY MADE ME PAY FOR THE INQUIRY. THIS IS ALL APPARENTLY HIDDEN IN THE CHRYSLER TSB - 09-001-12. MY CAR HAD 25,000 MILES AND WAS NEEDING ABOUT 7-8 QUARTS BETWEEN OIL CHANGES ACCORDING TO THE CAR'S BUILT IN OIL LIFE METER WHICH IS INTENDED TO BE USED.

IN SHORT I PAID OUT OF POCKET AND SUBMITTED WORK ORDER AND PAID RECEIPT THREE TIMES. REPAIR WAS DONE IN JUNE AND THEY SAID THEY'D GET BACK TO ME IN AUGUST. ALL I'M GETTING IS RUN AROUND, I'VE BEEN MORE THAN PATIENT.. THANK YOU
