Clutch Pedal/linkage problems of the 2013 Dodge Dart

I was driving my brother to work tonight 10/22/19 at 11:50pm. I pushed the clutch pedal in to down shift because we saw a deer in front of us and it came back out. Then as soon as it came out it slowly got sucked to the floor. It is still stuck to the floor. I can pull it back but as soon I push o. It it just gets sucked back to the floor. I tried uploading a picture but it wouldn't allow me to.

In the mornings when I first start the car my clutch pedal sticks down and I hqve to pull it up using my foot/hand. I have done some research and this is a well known issue for manual transmission Darts. Hundreds of people have called Chrysler abiut the issue and they refuse to do anything about it. For the people who have paid out of pocket say that it is a slave/ master cylinder issue and if nothing is done during early stages like starting your car in the morning. It does start to happen while driving down the road and does cause further damage. I feel that this is a huge saftey concern that they should fix.

I have a 2013 Dodge Dart aero 6 speed manual, dual dry clutch, multi air turbo. I purchased vehicle in February 2017. 4 months later I had brought my vehicle into carsense for an oil change. Meanwhile I asked them to check the brakes also due to braking issues and my ebrake was not working properly and had a mind of it's own. It worked when it wanted to, but yet everything is in "great condition" says carsence. Mind you that I had just purchased this vehicle in February and it was recently inspected in January 2017. Service dept. Inspected my brakes and gave me the current measurements of existing brake pads left. About June 2018 I was coming up to a stop sign in a 25 mph side street with light traffic. I had trouble slowing down to a complete stop. When I managed to come to a complete stop I heard a loud bang. Here my driver's side rear rotor was severely smoking and I noticed my rotor was redhot. My rotor snapped completely in half. My shifter would randomly pop out of gear or the clutch would lightly stick, smelling exhaust odor I'm now pushing 62, 000 miles and what do you know. I am coming home into my development. I'm in second gear turning onto my lane and doing maybe 10 mph well it decides to pop out of gear and accelerates, redlining second gear(I'm assuming it thinks it's in second) and all dashboard lights are flashing steering wheel it locked. Car is now doing 80 mph in a 15 mph zone. My brakes are not working at all brake pedal is harder than hard. I have no control of this vehicle!! engine finally cuts out after I removed the key from the ignition. Comes to a screeching halt. Thank god. It wont start still to this day. . Oil in turbo and up the hose. Battery plays dead along with my instrument panel and my transmission needs a computer upgrade that's not even available for the 1. 4l turbo engine. . . It needs a tcm, new master cylinder.

Before starting vehicle, clutch pedal goes straight to floor and has to be pulled back up into position. Problem occurs multiple times a week. After clutch is pumped a few times, it regains pressure and is able to be driven. Vehicle has less than 35,000 miles but is over the 5 year warranty. Extended warranty will cover it with a $100 deductible. Dealership advised that I will probably have to pay for a clutch replacement even though there is an extended warranty/ known issue on the master cylinder and hydraulic fluid leaking throughout clutch components. Also had the turbo and exhaust manifold gasket replaced at 20,000 miles after check engine light kept coming on and vehicle lost power. At one point the check engine light came on and the vehicle lost almost all power while trying to merge onto I-95 in washington DC, almost causing me to be rear ended by another vehicle. It took 4 trips to the dealership for the problem to be recreated and eventually fixed under warranty. The emergency brake stopped working at about 15,000 miles but I was told that my vehicle was not one affected by the caliper recall. Paid for caliper replacement out of pocket. Lots of problems with this car, but dealership keeps telling me they "cannot replicate the issue".

Before moving from new mexico to minnesota we had our 2013 Dodge Dart's oil change and car checked over by a Dodge authorized dealership. While driving on sd hwy 212 up a hill shifting down to 5th the clutch pedal stuck to the floor. So I forced it into 5th before it rolled down a sharp hill. (please note Dodge says there is nothing wrong but there are so many complaints). Dodge claim that clutches just go out like this with out any warning and it would not be covered. I have owned many manual cars and have never had any clutches wear out. My car only had $40,000 miles. I left the car behind in north dakota because we were moving to minnesota. They informed us it would be over a week to fix. I will have to drive back over 6hours (12 hours total trip) and pay for a new clutch that is probably just as bad. I think that the clutch going out with out warning is a big safety hazard.

The clutch pedal, when pressed, stays on the floor. This makes it impossible to shift into any gear, in any stage of driving whether it be stationary or in motion. I have been driving my car with no clutch for 5 days now, hoping that the pressure would come back(as this is not the first time this has happened <never for this long though, usually just happens for 5 minutes>the pressure has always come back, until now), which has not happened. I am going to try replacing the master/ slave cylinders and possibly flush and/or replace tranny lines, but after a little research online, this seems like a very common problem, and no good remedy to fix the issue with this exact transmission. I would normally fix it and go on about my business, but this problem is way to common for it to go unnoticed by the proper people. I feel Dodge should take some responsibility for this problem and at the very least acknowledge that there is a problem and offer their loyal customers some sort of resolution.

When it is hot out and I first get in vehicle after sitting overnight, when I step on clutch pedal it falls to the floor making me have to lift it up with my toe. Took it to Dodge and they said nothing it wrong with it. Now I can not park the car in gear because it will not come out of gear when I start it and the clutch sinks to the floor.

I got 2013 Dodge Dart 1. 4l turbo 6 speed manual and every morning when leave for work clutch pedal goes to floor and have to pump it good bit just to get it to change gears. Started car in reverse and car takes off while engine is turning over. And on highway if stay in same gear for long periods of time it will not come out gear and been to dealership 2 times for this and they say nothing wrong.

In August 2016 my clutch pedal stuck to the floor on the 405 freeway in cagoing 65mph. This causing no gear change and control over vehicle, Chrysler repaired the master cylinder under the power train warranty. (they said this wouldn't happen again and the car was safe) well the clutch did fail on the way to vegas on the freeway going 65mph again I lost control of the gears and the clutch stuck to the floor. Chrysler told me it was a worn out clutch and they wouldn't replace the parts or buy back the car under lemon law. I had an independent mechanic look at the car in glendora CA. He said it's not a worn out clutch, but the clutch has broken due to a leaking slave cylinder leaking over the components. This is a manufacturer defect. And has had various court cases against them due to this issue. The car is a so unsafe and a time bomb. I have just had a new born baby and do not want her anywhere near this car.

1) slave cylinder in transmission (manual) began failing at 12,000 miles, causing clutch pedal to lose pressure and not return to top of travel. Unable to shift into any gear. This occurred when parked overnight. Dealership replaced slave cylinder, clutch, and throw out bearing with no charge.

Clutch pedal does not return from depressed position. Clutch pedal is soft and clutch mechanism does not function properly for a few minutes of initial operation. After the initial incident this problem has become more frequent and now occurs almost daily.

This has been an ongoing-intermittent problem/issue. The hydraulic clutch system (manual trans) will lose pressure which means that the clutch pedal will go to the floor and I can't shift the transmission. At times it is only doing this first thing in the morning but will get pressure after "pumping it up" a few times. It will lose pressure after driving for a period of 15-20 minutes meaning that when coming to a stop I am unable to downshift. Once stopped, when it has lost pressure, if you leave the transmission in first gear, or reverse, it will move when the ignition key is put into the start mode when the clutch pedal is fully depressed! there have never been any fluid leaks or signs that the level has gone down. I have seen on a Dodge Dart owners website that this is a problem that others have had as well.

When I went to turn my car on, which is a manual, my clutch pedal stayed engaged and would not release and my car would not turn off. I could not turn the key to turn the car off. I had to wait a few minutes before the clutch released and I was finally able to turn my car off. When I tried again to turn my car on the clutch pedal once again stayed engaged and would not release but I was able to turn my car off the second time. And try again and again until the clutch would return after I turned the car on.

When trying to start the car the clutch pedal will get stuck down and not engage. If this happens when driving it could cause an accident.

When getting into my car in the morning or after work (any time the car has been sitting for a while), the clutch pedal goes straight to the floor and doesn't come back up. I cannot put my car into gear or even start the car. I have to pump the clutch pedal for a few minutes until I have a little pressure to even start my car. My car stalled out twice from this when entering a parking garage and I almost hit another car because of this. After driving the car for 2-3 miles the clutch seems to come back to normal pressure and I can shift fine at that point.

When trying to start the car, the clutch pedal will get stuck down and not engage intermittently. The clutch pedal drops to the floor when depressed and not returning without pumping the pedal prior to starting the engine. This is becoming common after the car is not in operation overnight.

I depressed the clutch to start the engine and when it started the car began to move even though the clutch pedal was fully depressed. I had to turn the engine off to stop the car from moving and the clutch pedal remained on the floor. After a few more attempts it started to work correctly. It now does this every time it is parked for a few hours. Very dangerous defect that needs to be recalled by Chrysler.

2013 Dart 2. 0 liter, 6 speed manual trans. Clutch pedal goes to floor with no resistance and will not disengage clutch. Pulling the pedal up with foot and pumping it restores function until the car is parked at which time, the system bleeds down again and the pedal goes to the floor without disengaging the clutch. Problem is markedly worse in hot weather. Response from Chrysler on rectification action is awaiting following inquiry by myself.

Intermittently, the clutch pedal had dropped to the floor when depressed and not returning without pumping the pedal prior to starting the engine. This was becoming common after the car was not in operation overnight but on 6-Aug-15 the while driving at highway speeds prior to exiting a limited access highway with the pedal depressed to the floor the engine did not disengage from the transmission or allow the shifter to be move out of gear. It required the pedal to be pulled up manually with the toe of my shoe and pumped before it actuated the clutch and allowed the car to stop. An accident was narrowly avoided on interstate 495 due to this failure. Chrysler was contacted regarding the service bulletin m37, transaxial slave valve defect and they said this is a listed issue for the car/engine but not for this VIN. Regardless of the bulletin's "commitment to safety" they would not cover any towing or repair.

I went to get in my car to go to work and when I started my car the clutch pedal went to the floor and would not come back up. The vehicle got stuck in first gear untill I manually bent down and pulled the clutch pedal up and turned the car off several times. When I sopke to Dodge they acted like they had never heard of this issue (which I know is not true from various forums and complaints ive seen). Now I am worried about the saftey of the car becasue if this happens while im on the road and not parked I or someone could get seriously injured. The Dodge dealer I spoke with said to fix the issue I would have to replace the master cylinder, slave cylinder, and replace the clutch. I dont feel I should have to worry about this there should be a recall issued.

Clutch pedal depressed and would not return to normal position. Pressing down on clutch pedal would not disengage the clutch from the flywheel so continued to attempt to move forward requiring foot more strongly on the brakes. This wasn't the only time, and seems to occur after the vehicle has been sitting a few hours. Its getting frequent enough that I'm going to try to trade the vehicle in. I don't trust Chrysler/Dodge products any more and their quality is going down hill with their drive by wire vehicles. For the record, 90% of my mileage is all highway and I don't "pop" the clutch to peal out at stop lights and the like. Searches of the internet are finding more and more posts with clutch and transmission problems.

I have a 2013 Dodge Dart rallye. I bought it used in January 2015. It has the 1. 4 multi air turbo with 6 spd manual transmission. My problem is just about every morning or after the car sets for a few hours when I try to start the car I push the clutch pedal in to start the car and I go to put the car in gear and it won't go in gear with my clutch pedal to the floor and the car trys to move when I try to put it in gear so I let off the clutch and it sticks half way to the floor so I have to pump it for about 2 minutes or until the car warms up just to put it in gear I did research on this and apairently alot of people with this car have been having this same problem and Chrysler wants to charge me just to take a look at it because it is out of warranty this issue really needs to be looked into.

The clutch pedal stuck to the floor preventing me from being able to shift out of gear or disengage the engine from the transmission. Because I am a mechanic I was able to avoid a crash. This is a complex issue and most consumers will freak out if they can not put there vehicle in neutral and the engine stalls from them trying to use the brakes.

I was accelerating from a stopped position and was shifting into fourth gear when the clutch pedal stayed depressed to the floor. I have had this car back from the dealer 10 days. It was in the service department to correct the same problem. This is the third time this car has done this. The case numbers for the first two are 10542516 and 10607620. Like the second episode, I was left in a vulnerable situation in which I was almost hit. The lanes taper from two down to one and I was in the inside lane coming out of the taper. A truck coming up from behind was unaware to the slow speed of my car and I was not able to accelerate. He was able to swerve across the no passing lines into another lane and avoid hitting the back of my car. I was able to coast to next cross road and just make it off the state highway. My vehicle was towed back to the dealership.

I have filed a complaint in sept. 2013 the incident number was 10542516. I my vehicle was towed to the nearest dealership for repair. The clutch pedal would not return once depressed. It was determined that it was the slave cylinder. That was replaced, taking over a week. The remedied the problem until the end of June 2014 when the car began displaying the same problem. I was getting on the interstate and went to shift from 2nd to 3rd and the clutch pedal remained depressed once again. Not having power at this key point of acceleration was dangerous and I was almost rear ended by a semi. I took the car to a dealership once again and it was determined the slave cylinder was the problem once again. I think this really needs to be examined as it creates a serious potential for injury.

Went to start my car and the clutch pedal went straight to the floor almost like it had no fluid in the master cylinder after I started the car I had to sit there and pump it to find feeling before I felt comfortable driving it. This was strange as I park inside a climate controlled garage and there is not any fluid leaking on the ground.

Turbo malfunctioned and car would decelerate on hills. Clutch pedal kept getting stuck in position and would not disengage.

On multiple occasions, worse when it is hot outside, the clutch pedal will be soft and not come up off the floor. When the clutch is soft, I am not able to shift in or out of gear. If the engine is on and in gear, you cannot pump the clutch until the vehicle is off, or if you manage to get it into neutral. As I prefer to park the vehicle in gear, when the clutch goes soft, it makes it difficult, if not impossible, to remove the shifter from gear to prevent the car from moving and hitting an object. I have almost hit a concrete pillar and driven through my garage when this happens. I get the feeling the clutch is not fully disengaged, despite the pedal stuck on the floor. Without parking in gear, I run the risk of the car rolling away if the parking brake fails. There have been no leaks and the dealer has been unable to locate the problem.

Pressed in clutch pedal to start vehicle. After car started, tried to take car out of gear but it wouldn't budge. Also, the clutch peddle would not release, as it was stuck to the fully pressed position. Car began to roll as if it started to disengage but the peddle was still completely pressed in. I immediately turned the car off. I had to pull the clutch peddle up by hand to get it to disengage. Called dealer service, said they couldn't resolve the issue if they couldn't duplicate the problem. I've noticed many people with the same issue. Chrysler needs to issue a recall on this.

Clutch pedal does not return from depressed position. Clutch pedal is soft and clutch mechanism does not function properly for a few minutes of initial operation. After the initial incident this problem has become more frequent and now occurs almost daily.

When I go to shift from 1st to 2nd gear the clutch pedal stays depressed, this keeps the car in neutral and leaving it unable to deliver power to maneuver.

1. Clutch started to lose resistance couple times a month in two last months. Now almost every day after long time not using it. It freely going down, sometimes stuck in the half way out and have to be pulled up. 2. Brakes started lose resistance recently also after long time not to be used (1 or more hours) specially in the morning. It freely going down half way producing air blow sound. After a few times pushing pedal down air blow stops and resistance gets ok. Behind of brake pedal it feels some king of liquid. 3. Acceleration at high speed takes longer time then it was before and requires to switch to lower gear. (turbo problem?) 4. Mpg decreased. On the same way to and back to work usually it was 32-33 mpg. Now it gets 28-29 today brought car to dealer. After a whole day of inspection nothing wrong was found.

Clutch pedal does not always come all the way back up. I have to pull it up with my foot. I can tell it does not have the clutch engaged to burn it out. Just a irritating thing to have to do on a brand new car. Took it to the dealership for another issue and had them check it. They could not get it to stick. And since chryslers system was down they didn't know what to look at. This happens and random times. This morning it happened. When I went to push the clutch down I could tell there was no resistance for a few inches. When I released the clutch it only came part way up again. Biggest frustration is the tech's can not problem solve anything with out a computer telling them what to do. I made a few suggestions on what to check but they had not clue. Since this is the first year for this car I do expect bugs in the system. However they should be prepared to problem solve this problems. I should not have to make suggestions or problem solve it myself.

Driving at a average speed of 60-70 when passing on the hwy my clutch pedal was stuck to the floor and I had to pull it out with my foot to change gears. This now has started happening on take offs now. The dealer has all ready replace it once and it is still having the same issue. Apparently the part is on back order because they can not keep enough in stock for the cars that are having this replaced. It took 21 days in order for my part to arrive at the dealership. Now I have to wait longer for a new one to replace the one that was put in. This can cause a serious issue almost life threatening because you could be pulling out into traffic and god forbid you can't react fast enough.

The contact owns a 2013 Dodge Dart. While driving at approximately 50 mph, the clutch pedal was depressed and failed to respond without warning. The vehicle was taken to a dealer where it was diagnosed that the master slave cylinder needed to be replaced. The vehicle was repaired however, the failure recurred. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The failure mileage was 1,200.
