2014 DODGE DART Complaints

I purchased a 2014 Dodge Dart from this business on 08/10/2019. I drove the vehicle for only 1.5 years and then garaged it to give to my daughter later. I put only 20,000 miles on the vehicle. There were several issues during the short time that I had the vehicle. The tire pressure warning went on, and the clutch would stick to the floor. I had the pressure warning 'fixed' at Chrysler World only to have the same malfunction within a week. The clutch issue was due to a recall that I didn't qualify for as I did not purchase the vehicle new from the original dealership. I gave the vehicle to my daughter on 12/18/2023 and the clutch and transmission went out causing her to stop in the middle of the highway. I paid $105 to have the vehicle towed to my local Dodge dealership. The local dealership informed me that the clutch and transmission would need to be replaced for the amount of about $6100. Along with some other recall work on the computer and cat converter which would be free to me. I then emailed and called Chrysler World on 01/02/2024 to see if they would assist with the repair as I felt that this particular vehicle was totally flawed. The salesman advised he would call back on 01/03/24. That would work as I advised my local dealer that I would let them know within a day if they should continue and perform the maintenance. I did not hear from Chrysler World so I did ok the work which is underway. I did receive a call from Chrysler World on 01/08/24. Long after I would have had to let the local dealership know about continuing with the repairs. Chrysler World Indicated that they could not help in any way as it had been too long since the purchase.

i have taken this car 5 times in the last 6 momths for recalls and the car is still not 100% it keeps telling me that brake safety system needs to be fix, dealer can not help with this matter. the mechanic told me that thise cars were defected and more than likely it will never get fix to 100% again. i need help with this matter as my som almost killed himself driving it like that.

While driving to town, going approximately 35-40 mph, I went to slow down and pressed the brakes and the brake pedal went to the floor. To stop, I had to engage the Emergency Brake. I was almost hit by another vehicle and had to jump the curb to avoid collision and potential injury to myself and my family. This incident was very traumatic and potentially fatal to me and my family. I started checking on the recalls, and investigations, complaints for my 2014 Dodge Dart SD. I found other people had made complaints to you for the same issue. Total brake failure. At this time I have not had my car towed to the dealership for inspection and repairs. But I will update you on the details and provide you with the inspection report from the dealership as soon as they complete the inspection. There were no signs that the brakes were not working properly, no lights, no alarms , nothing. Only a pedal that went completely to the floor of my vehicle, causing immediate panic and confusion as to what was happening. It took a moment to realize that the brakes were on the floor and not engaging while oncoming traffic through the traffic light barely missed me. The parking lot that I was attempting to turn into luckily had no one pulling out or there would most certainly have been a collision between two or more vehicles. I used the emergency brake to get the vehicle stopped so that I didn’t crash into the storefront. Myself and my son were traumatized when we realized that how lucky we were to have avoided a potential life altering injury or death for ourselves or others.

The contact owns a 2014 Dodge Dart. The contact stated while driving at an undisclosed speed, the vehicle suddenly shifted into neutral. The contact was able to pull to the shoulder of the roadway, where the vehicle failed to shift back into drive. The contact also stated that the vehicle began to overheat and displayed a message to not start the engine. The check engine warning light was illuminated. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic, who diagnosed failures with the transmission control module, the PCM, and the catalytic converter. The vehicle was not repaired. After investigating the failure, the contact related it to NHTSA Campaign Number: 15V542000 (Power Train) however, the VIN was not included. The manufacturer was notified of the failure but referred the contact to the NHTSA Hotline for assistance. The failure mileage was 123,000.

Last Thursday, August 3rd, I reversed my car out of my garage. Upon putting it in Drive, the engine light came on as well as the PRND lights illuminated red. As I was driving, I noticed my car felt sluggish to my destination, but I did make it. When I parked, I noticed how jerky the car was when shifting from drive to park. After my appointment, the red PRND lights were gone, with the engine light still on. I had another appointment to get new tires, and the car ran fine this time, except engine light still on. Once my new tires were on, engine light also no longer lit. I took my car to get it diagnosed. It gave out 3 codes; po705-00, p1c86-92, and B1578-2B with the last code indicating problems with my antenna. I checked it, and it appears to be broken in 2 areas. The first code po705-00 indicates failure of the transmission control module; which is strange. There was a related recall in 2019, in which I did take my vehicle into a dealership, and it was supposed to have been taken care of. The code p1c86-92 has to do with the PRNDL Display Circuit Current Out Of Range. I now do not feel safe driving my car, and the dealerships can’t get me in to look at my car, so I’ve been calling all over the area to mechanics that specialize in transmission issues. I can’t in until Sept 6th, and that’s just for another diagnosis BEFORE ordering parts and giving me a quote. When I first had these issues, I began researching the codes. It seems that there are a LOT of people with Dodge Darts having these exact same issues, but no recall has been issued as of yet. Please take care of this. Mechanics and dealerships are way overbooked, some are no longer taking jobs because they’re so backed up, and people like myself with no other vehicle will not have transportation. And I live in a rural community. Getting a recall on these transmission issues would be really helpful, as like I stated, many are having these exact problems. Thank you!

In 2019 dodge had a shift cable bushing recall. I had it fixed in 2021 after owning the car for a few months (recall V34) . At this time, 2 years later, I’m experiencing the same problems that would be present with a faulty shift cable bushing which is a major safety concern. My car says it’s not in park when the shifter is indeed in park.

Unknown, my car since ive got it has steadily ran way too hot for my comfort zone it does not redline. But it runs sometimes past 223-225 and i feel like i have to pull over and that is not safe. I have had it checked out NUNEROUS times and have been told nothing is wrong but genuinely that does not add up to me.

Driving down the highway my clutch started sticking, I was able to get it to keep driving at the time as it was unsafe and I was on 95 traveling south. My vehicle was looked at confirmed good and out of no where it entirely went, I then went ro a shop that refused to contact me napleton dodge in Florida while having my car in possession. Due to this entire out of no where no signs of issue on top of the company having ny car for a week and refusing to give me answers so I could try ro figure out ny car. My entire family was at risk as we were lucky to even make it safely to our location.
