2014 DODGE DART Complaints

ENGINE SHUTS OFF WHILE SLOWING DOWN TO TURN OR STOP AT STOP SIGN OR LIGHT. NO WARNING LIGHTS BEFORE ENGINE SHUTS DOWN. CALL DODGE DEALER, WAS TOLD TO CHECK OIL AND THAT IT WAS COMMON FOR DODGE DARTS THAT OIL WAS VERY LOW OR EMPTY AND CAR WOULD DO THAT. CHECK AND OIL WAS EMPTY OR BASICALLY EMPTY. OIL WARNING LIGHT DID NOT COME ON EVEN AFTER ENGINE SHUTDOWN THIS HAPPENED A COUPLE OF TIMES IN ONE WEEK THE LAST TIME I WAS ALMOST HIT FROM THE REAR I FIND THIS TO BE A VERY SERIOUS SITUATION. I HAVE NO OIL LEAKS SO ENGINE MUST HAVE BURNED OIL I STILL HAD 600 MILES LEFT TO OIL CHANGE. OIL LIGHT DID NOT COME ON WHEN IT SHOULD HAVE AN ENGINE SHOULD NEVER SHUT DOWN WELL STILL IN MOTION!

BATTERY LIGHT COMES ON, ONCE THAT OCCURS THE RADIO GOES PITCH BLACK AND WE LOSE TOTAL CONTROL OVER THE RADIO AND HVAC CONTROLS. THE DASH GAUGES SHUT OFF INCLUDING TURN SIGNAL BLINKERS AND CLICKING SOUND. AND WHETHER THE A.C. IS ON OR NOT THE HEATER DEFROST COMES ON FULL BLAST AND I CAN'T GET IT TO TURN OFF. UNTIL THE REAR DEFROST AND BATTERY LIGHT IS OFF. BUT IT WILL IMMEDIATELY DO IT AGAIN. THIS PROBLEM OCCURS WHETHER THE CAR IS IN PARK, IN DRIVE BUT IDLING, WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD AND WHEN TURNING LEFT.

THE CAR STALLS WHILE DRIVING AND DOES NOT RESTART IMMEDIATELY. THE DEALER CHANGES MY OIL EVERY 5,000 MILES. IT APPEARS TO STALL EVERY 3-4,000 MILES. THE SOLUTION FOR THE DEALER NOW IS TO BRING MY CAR IN EVERY 1,000 MILES. THIS SEEMS EXCESSIVE AND IS NOT A SOLUTION TO THIS DANGEROUS PROBLEM? SOMETIMES THE ENGINE TURNS OFF WHEN I'M IN TRAFFIC OR TRAVELING ON A BUSY STREET. THIS HAS BEEN HAPPENING SINCE I PURCHASED THE CAR NEW IN 2014. IT'S ONLY BEEN SERVICED BY THE DEALER.

ONLY HAD CAR TWO YEARS SUNDAY DASH BOARDS STARTS FLICKING ON AND OFF DISCONNECTED MY UCONNECT. ON MONDAY MY THROTTLE LIGHT AND ENGINE LINE CAME ON ON TUESDAY IT WAS OFF. NOW CAR WILL ONLY START WITH A JUMP SITTING IN CARLOT 4 DODGES BEING SERVICED FOR ELECTRIC COMPUTER PROBLEMS. NOW NONE OF MY LIGHTS ON BATTERY IS GOOD BUT CAR WON'T START. A RECALL NEEDS TO BE CHECKED ASAP.

MY 2014 DODGE DART GT HAS HAD BREAKING ISSUES OVER THE PAST FEW WEEKS. WHEN STOPPING THE BREAK PETAL WILL GO ALL THE WAY TO THE FLOORBOARD WITH NO PRESSURE AT ALL. THIS ISSUE HAS ALMOST CAUSED 3 ACCIDENTS AND THE DEALERSHIP SAYS THAT THEY CAN NOT FIND AN ISSUE. THIS VEHICLE HAS NO RECALLS TO BE REPAIRED, AND IS VERY UNSAFE TO DRIVE. DEALERSHIP HAS BEEN NOTIFIED OF THE ISSUE AND NO ATTEMPT AT REPAIR HAS BEEN MADE

IT BECAME MORE CONSISTENT IN 2017, MY CAR WOULD STALL DRIVING IT ANYWHERE FROM 25 MPH -75 MPH, SOME DAYS THE STEERING WHEEL WOULD LOCK AND THE CAR WOULD TURN OFF AND I'D HAVE TO WAIT UNTIL IT WAS READY TO BE BACK ON, JUST RECENTLY MULTIPLE TIMES I HAVE HAD MY CAR TURN COMPLETELY OFF GOING 75MPH, THE DASHBOARD TURNS OFF THE STEERING WHEEL LOCKS AND THE CAR SHUTS OFF, SOME TIMES IT TURNS OFF FOR NOT EVEN A MINUTE BEFORE IT TURNS BACK ON. OTHER TIMES I'VE PUT MY CAR ON CRUISE CONTROL AND IT'S TURNED OFF MINUTES AFTER BEING SET. WAS TOLD TO CHANGE THE OIL MORE OFTEN WHICH I DID AT MAXIMUM OF 3000 MILES, ON A 2014?! THIS TIME (ITS BEEN SEVERAL SEVERAL TIMES ALREADY) MY CAR TURNED OFF AND WOULDN'T TURN BACK ON, TRIED JUMP STARTING IT FOR ALMOST 3 HOURS AND IT DID NOTHING TO THE CAR, THE CAR DIDN'T BUDGE. THE DASHBOARD WOULD FLICKER ON AND OFF AND ALL THE SWITCHES WOULD GO CRAZY INCLUDING MY WINDSHIELD WIPERS THAT WEREN'T EVENT ON IN THE FIRST PLACE. USED A CAR BATTERY CHARGER TO SEE IF IT HELPED AT ALL, 12 HOURS LATER STILL NOTHING. I HAVE A TWO YEAR OLD AND THIS CAR IS WAY TO DANGEROUS FOR ME TO FEEL SAFE IN!!

AS DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD AFTER ABOUT A MILE FROM HOME MY CAR WOULD NO LONGER MOVE BUT GLIDE ALONG. THE ENGINE WAS SHUT OFF AND I HAD NO CONTROL OVER SPEED. YOU CAN STEP ON THE GAS AND IT WILL NOT MOVE. RPM'S DROP AND THE MOTOR TURNS OFF IN DRIVE. AFTER THIS HAPPENS THE CAR HESITATES TO START BUT WILL. THERE IS NO CHECK ENGINE LIGHT ON AND ALL STATISTICS FOR THE CAR WERE AS THEY SHOULD BE. THE BATTERY IS SHOWING CORRECT VOLTAGE. THE CAUSE IS UNKNOWN.

IF I BRAKE WITHIN 5 MINUTES OF STARTING MY VEHICLE, THE NEXT TIME I BRAKE ALL OF THE DASHBOARD LIGHTS WILL FLASH ON, THE BATTERY LIGHT WILL STAY ON, AND THE CAR WILL STALL. AFTER WAITING 5 TO 10 MINUTES THE CAR WILL START AGAIN. THIS HAPPENS WITHIN A WEEK OF WHEN MY CAR NEEDS AN OIL CHANGE. THIS HAPPENED 10/24/2017, 10/25/2017, AND 5/17/2018.

I BOUGHT A USED 2014 DODGE DART ACT IN SEPTEMBER 2017, IN LATE DECEMBER EARLY JANUARY I BROUGHT CAR IN TO THE DEALERSHIP BECAUSE IT KEPT STALLING OUT. THEY LOOKED AT IT AND SAID IT WAS BECAUSE THE OIL WAS LOW. FAST FORWARD TO MAY. I'M ON THE WAY TO THE STORE AND MY CAR STALLS OUT WHILE I'M DRIVING WITH MY 4YR DAUGHTER IN THE CAR. I GOT IT STARTED BACK UP AFTER A FEW MINS BUT IT STALLED OUT AFTER A MIN. THEN AGAIN LATER IN THE NIGHT 3 MORE TIMES IN LESS THEN A QUARTER MILE. THIS APPARENTLY IS AN ONGOING ISSUE AMONGST OTHER DADGE DART OWNERS. THIS PROBLEM COULD KILL PEOPLE AND DODGE IS DOING NOTHING TO RECTIFY THE SITUATION.

ENGINE OVER-CONSUMES OIL. THE ENGINE WILL BE DRY FROM CONSUMING ALL OIL AT 4,000MILES.
