2014 DODGE DART Complaints

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 DODGE DART. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 25 MPH AND DEPRESSING THE CLUTCH PEDAL TO SWITCH GEARS, THE CLUTCH PEDAL TRAVELED TO THE FLOORBOARD AND DID NOT RAISE BACK UP. THERE WERE NO WARNING INDICATORS ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO THE CONTACT'S RESIDENCE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT TAKEN TO THE DEALER OR AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC FOR DIAGNOSTIC TESTING. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 112,687.

STARTING AT AROUND 50,000 MILES MY VEHICLE HAS CONSTANT PROBLEMS WITH THE ENGINE OVER HEATING. I BOUGHT IT INTO THE SHOP IN AUGUST FOR THIS PROBLEM. THEY REPLACED SOME CLAMP AND SAID THAT WAS THE PROBLEM. IN SEPTEMBER THE CAR WAS OVERHEATING AGAIN. I NOTICED THE COOLANT WAS VERY LOW SO I FILLED IT AND THAT SEEMED TO WORK. THEN IN OCTOBER THE ENGINE TOO HOT LIGHT CAME ON, AGAIN. I BROUGHT IT BACK TO THE SHOP. THEY REPLACED THE RADIATOR CAP AND SAID THAT WAS THE PROBLEM. THEN ONE WEEK LATER THE ENGINE LIGHT COMES ON FOR A CYLINDER 2 MISS FIRE. I GET THAT REPAIRED AND THEN THE VERY SAME DAY THE ENGINE TOO HOT LIGHT COMES ON. REFILL THE COOLANT AGAIN. THERE DOES NOT APPEAR TO BE A LEAK AND NO ONE CAN SEEM TO FIND ANY INTERNAL PROBLEMS OR SIGNS OF INTERNAL LEAKING YET THE CAR JUST KEEPS OVER HEATING AND NOW ITS JUST A GUESSING GAME AS TO WHEN IT HAPPENS AGAIN. EVERY TIME IT HAS HAPPENED IT HAS BEEN AT DIFFERENT AMOUNTS OF MOVEMENT. THE FIRST TIME I WAS STATIONARY. THE SECOND TIME I WAS GOING SLOW. THE THIRD TIME WAS ON THE HIGHWAY.

MY GRAND MOTHER WAS DRIVING HER 2014 DODGE DART AND HER ELECTRONIC DASH CLUSTER QUIT WORKING WHILE SHE WAS DRIVING. THE DASH CLUSTER IN HER CAR IS THE SPEEDOMETER AND ALL NECESSARY GAUGES AND DISPLAYS. WHEN WE TOOK THE CAR TO THE DEALER THE DEALER SAID THAT IT WAS A KNOWN ISSUE BUT THEY SAID THAT THERE WAS NOTHING THEY COULD DO. I THINK THIS IS SIMILAR TO THE RECENT RECALL ON THE NEW DODGE'S THAT HAD A RECALL ON THE DASH CLUSTERS ALSO. THE DEALER ALSO SAID THAT THE DASH CLUSTERS WERE ON BACKORDER BECAUSE THEY ARE REPLACING THAT MANY OF THEM. MY GRANDMA WAS DRIVING IN TOWN LESS THAN 35 MPH ZONE. SHE SAID THAT THE DISPLAY WAS THERE THEN GONE. SHE WAS NOT SURE WHAT HAPPENED. SHE WAS NOT SURE WHAT WAS WORKING OR NOT WORKING ON HER CAR SHE MADE IT HOME AND PARKED THE CAR.

MY ETC LIGHT WILL TURN ON IF I TAKE OFF TOO QUICKLY TO GET UP TO SPEED WITH TRAFFIC. IT HAS ALSO STARTED TO TURN OFF WHENEVER I HIT THE BRAKES TOO ABRUPTLY. THIS IS A HUGE SAFETY ISSUE AND DODGE WILL NOT EVEN LOOK AT IT UNLESS I PAY THEM 125 DOLLARS. I SHOULDN'T HAVE TO PAY FOR SOMETHING THAT IS CLEARLY NOT MY FAULT. IT IS A MANUFACTURER ISSUE THAT NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED BEFORE SOMEONE GETS HURT OR SUED!

I WAS DRIVING MY CAR IN TOWN AND ALL OF A SUDDEN THE DASH CLUSTER QUIT WORKING. I WAS DRIVING ABOUT 30 MPH ON A SMALL TOWN CITY STREET. WHEN I TOOK MY CAR TO THE DEALERSHIP FOR REPAIR THEY SAID THAT IS A VERY COMMON PROBLEM. IF IT IS A VERY COMMON PROBLEM THEY TOOK A WEEK TO GET THE PARTS BECAUSE THEY CAN'T MAKE THEM TO REPAIR THE CARS AS THE DASH CLUSTERS ARE FAILING.

MY GRANDMA WAS DRIVING HER CAR IN TOWN AND THE DASH CLUSTER QUIT WORKING. I TRIED CHECKING FUSES AND DID NOT FIND ANYTHING SIMPLE TO FIX THE DASH CLUSTER TO QUIT WORKING. SHE TOOK THE CAR TO THE LOCAL DODGE DEALER WHERE THE CAR WAS PURCHASED. WHEN THEY ASKED WHAT HAPPENED EXPLAINED THAT THE DASH CLUSTER JUST QUIT WORKING. THEY SAID THAT IS VERY COMMON ISSUE. I THINK IT IS A SAFETY ISSUES BECAUSE YOU CAN'T SEE ANYTHING NO MPH, GAUGES OF ANY SORT FUEL, TEMPERATURE. WHEN OPERATING THE CAR YOU HAVE TO GUESS WHEN THE DASH CLUSTER IS NOT WORKING.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 DODGE DART. -THE VEHICLE DID NOT ENGAGE IN DRIVE. -HAD TO TURN VEHICLE OFF/ON SEVERAL TIMES. -POWER TRAIN. -THE CONTACT RECEIVED A RECALL NOTIFICATION FOR NHTSA RECALL NUMBER: 19V293000 ( POWER TRAIN ), AND ALREADY WAS EXPERIENCING THE FAILURE. SEVERAL DEALERS CONTACTED INCLUDING SAN ANTONIO CHRYSLER/JEEP/RAM, 11910 I-35 FRONTAGE RD, SAN ANTONIO, TX 78233, ALL CONFIRMED PARTS NOT AVAILABLE TO PERFORM THE RECALL REPAIR.

I PURCHASED MY VEHICLE IN JULY OF 2014. IN MARCH OF 2017, I WAS DRIVING HOME FROM A TRIP OUT OF TOWN, WHEN THE VEHICLE LOST THE MEANS TO ACCELERATE. THE CAR WOULD ONLY REV, AND NOT ENGAGE IN ANY GEAR. I COASTED INTO A GAS STATION, WHERE I HAD TO WAIT FOR A TOW TRUCK TO TRANSPORT THE CAR TO THE DEALER. I WAS INFORMED THAT THE CLUTCH MASTER CYLINDER, RESERVOIR, AND CLUTCH KIT ALL HAD TO BE REPLACED, TO THE TUNE OF > $2000. I ESCALATED TO FCA UNDER THE X62 TSB, AND MY REPAIRS, AND A RENTAL WERE PROVIDED. NOW YESTERDAY, 9/9/19 AT 9:00AM, MY CLUTCH IS COMING DISENGAGED WHILE ACCELERATING, IN ALL 6 GEARS, 15-65 MPH AND I DROVE IT STRAIGHT TO THE DEALER. I WAS INFORMED THAT THE WARRANTY PERIOD ON THE PREVIOUS REPAIR EXPIRED 4 MONTHS AGO. I WAS ALSO INFORMED THAT THE PARTS WHICH FAILED PREVIOUSLY WERE REPLACED WITH ORIGINAL PARTS, WHICH WOULD LEAD TO ADDITIONAL FAILURE. IN DOING MY OWN RESEARCH, THE 2014 DODGE DART MANUAL TRANSMISSIONS ARE EQUIPPED WITH A CLUTCH DELAY VALVE. THE INTENTION OF THE CDV IS TO HELP INEXPERIENCED DRIVERS, BUT IN REALITY IS MAKES LAUNCHING JERKY, QUICK SHIFTING DIFFICULT, AND PREMATURE CLUTCH WEAR A REAL POSSIBILITY.

MY VEHICLE HAS A MANUAL TRANSMISSION, A COUPLE OF WEEKS AGO WITHOUT ANY WARNING WHILE I WAS DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY DOING ABOUT 60-65 MILES PER HOUR, MY CLUTCH DROPPED TO THE FLOOR AND I STARTED SMELLING MY CLUTCH BURNING. I DID NOT HAVE MY FOOT ON THE CLUTCH BECAUSE I WAS ALREADY IN SIXTH GEAR ON THE HIGHWAY. MY ENGINE STARTED BOGGING DOWN AND LUCKILY I WAS NEAR AN OFF RAMP AND WAS ABLE TO SAFELY GET OFF THE HIGHWAY. I WASN'T ABLE TO SHIFT INTO ANY GEAR, MY ENGINE WOULDN'T EVEN STAY ON IT KEPT STALLING. ITS BEEN ALMOST THREE WEEKS NOW AND NO ONE IS GIVING MY ANY ANSWERS AS TO WHAT IS GOING ON, ALL I AM BEING TOLD IS THAT THE FAILURE WAS DUE TO MY DRIVING. MY CAR HAS A LITTLE OVER 43,000 MILES, NOTHING MORE AND MY CLUTCH IS NOW IN PIECES. SOME OF MY CLUTCH IS PERMANENTLY ON MY FLYWHEEL NOW. I HAVE BEEN DRIVING A MANUAL TRANSMISSION FOR OVER NINE YEARS AND HAD DRIVEN SEVERAL VEHICLES AND HAVE NEVER BURNT OUT MY CLUTCH. MY WARRANTY THROUGH CAR MAX WILL NOT COVER IT, NO ONE WANTS TO EVEN LOOK AT MY ISSUE BECAUSE ALL THEY HEAR IS CLUTCH FAILURE AND ITS AUTOMATICALLY MY FAULT.
