2014 DODGE DART Complaints

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.

THE CAR STARTED RANDOMLY SHUTTING OFF, AT A STOP OR WOULDN'T START ALL TOGETHER. AFTER ABOUT A WEEK OF RANDOM STALLING AND SHUT OFFS, I TOOK IT TO A MECHANIC. HE SAID THAT IT HAS A MANUFACTURERS DEFECT WHERE THE CAR THINKS IT HAS LOW OIL, IT DOESN'T EVEN HAVE TO BE LOW. HAVE BEEN ADDING OIL AND CHECKING CONSISTENTLY FOR ABOUT A MONTH AND RECENTLY IT REFUSED TO TURN ON. GOT A JUMP AND THE CAR STARTED. HAD THE BATTERY AND ALTERNATOR CHECKED AT AUTO PARTS STORE , CAR STARTED UP NO PROBLEM, AND BOTH WERE FINE, BATTERY FULLY CHARGED. NOT MORE THAN 10 MINUTES AFTER TESTING THE CAR WOULD NOT TURN ON. JUMPED IT AND IT STARTED, DROVE HOME. AGAIN, TRIED TO START IT A FEW HOURS LATER AND NOTHING, NEEDED ANOTHER JUMP. USED A SCANNER TO CHECK FOR COMPUTER ISSUES AND NOTHING CAME UP. AFTER DRIVING THE CAR ABOUT 10 MILES, SHUT IT OFF AND AGAIN NEEDED A JUMP. THE CAR SEEMS TO JUST SHUT OFF OR NOT START FOR NO REAL REASON. ONE MECHANIC COULD NOT FIGURE OUT THE ISSUE, THE OTHER HAD IT A COUPLE OF WEEKS BEFORE BLAMING THE OIL ISSUE AND NOW THIS. NO RECALLS ON THIS CAR, ALREADY CHECKED THE VIN NUMBER. NOT SURE WHAT TO DO ABOUT THIS CAR AT THIS POINT WITHOUT SPENDING MORE ON IT THAN IT IS WORTH. 2014 DODGE DART, 98,000 MILES

THE LEFT HEADLIGHT KEEPS GOING OUT. THE BULB HAS BEEN REPLACED NUMEROUS TIMES AND SENSORS HAVE BEEN CHECKED. THE WIRING WAS JUST WORKED ON AND THE BULB REPLACED ONCE AGAIN. A MONTH LATER THE HEADLIGHT IS AGAIN NOT WORKING.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 DODGE DART. WHILE DRIVING VARIOUS SPEEDS, THE VEHICLE LOST POWER AND STALLED. ALSO, THE BATTERY INDICATOR ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC, BUT THEY WERE UNABLE TO IDENTIFY THE CAUSE OF THE FAILURE. THE CONTACT CALLED KELLER MOTORS INC (1795 S PERRYVILLE BLVD, PERRYVILLE, MO 63775, (573) 547-1002) AND WAS INFORMED THAT THE VIN WAS NOT INCLUDED IN ANY RECALLS. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS CONTACTED VIA EMAIL, BUT THEY DID NOT RESPOND. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 129,059.

"THE BASIC OF THE ISSUE ARE SHIFTING ROUGHLY, OVER-REVVING BEFORE SHIFTING, FAILING TO SHIFT, MAKING A GRINDING NOISE ON TAKE OFF, RUNNING ROUGH, EXHIBITING A BURNING SMELL, SMOKING AND OVERHEATING." DASH LIGHT COMES ON RANDOMLY WHEN IN TRAFFIC ON MY COMMUTE HOME FROM WORK "TRANSMISSION GETTING HOT PRESS BRAKE" AND THE CAR WILL START TO SMOKE.

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,

FOR THE LAST 4 MONTHS MY VEHICLE SHUTS OFF AS I'M DRIVING. AFTER 3 TRIPS TO THE DEALERSHIP FOR A FEW TEST THEY DETERMINE THAT DUE TO LOW OIL CONSUMPTION THE CAR HAS A SENSOR THAT SHUTS OFF THE ENGINE WHILE DRIVING. DURING ONE OF THESE INCIDENTS MY VEHICLE TURNED OFF AS I WAS APPROACHING AN INTERSECTION IN WHICH THE BRAKES DID NOT WORK WHICH LEAD ME TO SLOWLY ROLL INTO THE INTERSECTION ON A RED LIGHT. LUCKILY IT WAS MORNING RUSH HOUR SO NO ACCIDENTS OCCURRED. I TRULY BELIEVE THIS VEHICLE NEEDS TO BE RECALLED IT'S A SAFETY HAZARD NOT ONLY FOR ME BUT ALSO FOR OTHERS

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.

PURCHASED 2014 DODGE DART FROM SUBARU OF CHERRY HILL, NJ DEALERSHIP 5/2019 @ 44,000MI. USED. EXCELLENT CARFAX. SINCE OWNERSHIP, VEHICLE HAS STOPPED TWICE; ONCE WHILE SLOWED DOWN TO MAKE A LEFT TURN, AND AGAIN WHILE STOPPED AT A RED LIGHT. BATTERY LIGHT DID NOT COME ON EITHER TIME. 3RD TIME VEHICLE DIDN'T START AFTER BEING PARKED FOR APPROXIMATELY 10 HRS. NEEDED TO BE JUMPED. AFTER FIRST INCIDENT OF STOPPING, VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO MECHANIC; COULDN'T FIND PROBLEM. BATTERY CHECKED OUT AS OK. OIL CHANGE PERFORMED AT 47,351MI. ALSO, SINCE BEING PURCHASED, A SLIGHTLY SWEET SMELL COMES OUT OF FAN. DOES NOT GO AWAY. CONCERNED THAT THE VEHICLE WILL STOP WHILE ON A HIGHWAY, CAUSING A MULTI-VEHICLE CRASH. THIS SEEMS VERY UNSAFE. UPON INVESTIGATION, NO RECALL WAS NOTED. DEALERSHIP CALLED TO DISCUSS FURTHER WITHOUT RESPONSE. THIS IS A VERY DANGEROUS SITUATION AND THERE NEEDS TO BE A RECALL. MANY OTHER DRIVERS SEEM TO HAVE THE SAME ISSUES WHEN SEARCHED ONLINE. PLEASE HELP! MOST RECENT EPISODE WAS 2/13/19.
