Clutch Pedal/linkage problems of the 2014 Dodge Dart

The contact owns a 2015 Dodge Dart. The contact stated that while driving 40 mph, the vehicle failed to respond with the accelerator pedal depressed. There was no warning light illuminated. The contact stated that the rpm revved up however, the vehicle seemed as if it was in neutral. The contact coasted to the shoulder of the roadway, turned off and restarted the vehicle and the vehicle operated as intended. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic where it was diagnosed that the clutch and flywheel failed and needed to be replaced. Hillview motors (5309 u. S. 30 e, greensburg, PA 15601, (724) 858-4809) was contacted and informed of the failure. The contact was informed that the VIN was not under recall. The vehicle was not repaired. The NHTSA campaign number: 15v542000 (power train) was referenced a possible solution to the failure however, the VIN was not available to perform a VIN search. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 57,000.

The clutch pedal began occasionally sticking, sometimes all the way in to the floor, other times halfway and made it difficult to shift. After taking it to the dealer they diagnosed the problem as a known issue with the clutch master cylinder. The issue quickly deteriorated, where it was happening all of the time. Now when I start the car with the clutch in, the safety allows me to start the car, but the car immediately begins to move as if the clutch is not depressed if started in first gear, and then I cannot shift into neutral and need to either be ready to go or shut the engine off so as not to cause an accident. There are no replacement parts available in the marketplace and this is a very dangerous situation to have the car being to move as soon as it is started and not be able to shift back into neutral. I fear there will be several accidents caused by this for anyone not fully aware when starting their car.

Tl-the contact owns a 2014 Dodge Dart. The contact stated that while driving approximately 25 mph, depressed the clutch to switch gears, the clutch pedal traveled all the way down to the floor and did not come back up. No warning indicators illuminated. The vehicle was towed to the residence. The vehicle was not taken to the dealer or an independent mechanic for a diagnostic. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The vehicle was not repaired. The approximate failure mileage was 112,687. Bp.

Clutch pedal will stick on the floor not allowing me to put the car in gear, change gears, or pull out of gear to stop without pushing through the brakes. It happens in the morning especially after sitting all night. Also, I have experienced it on the highway during a long trip while staying in gear for a few hours.

The clutch pedal would stick to the floor in cold weather. Would easily stall because of poor engagement. Sometimes the car would buck or stutter because the clutch would not be able to effectively engage. Sometimes the vehicle would stall on engagement and have to sit for several minutes before the engine would start. After an attempted repair to the clutch hydraulics by corwin the clutch still has slop in it and poor worksmanship was found at another dealer. The transmission is now noisy and makes loud clunking or whining noises when the clutch is engaged or disengaged. The clutch will still partially stick to the floor in severe cold and is not safe to drive.
