general problems of the 2014 Dodge Dart - part 1

In October I brought my car in due to my car not correctly going into park. It almost fully gave out the time the recall started for Dodge Darts gear shifter, though there were times my car wouldn’t go into park and release the key months before. The shop ran codes that mentioned the ignition switch. They replaced the ignition switch hoping that’d fix the problem, but it didn’t. They brought it to a Dodge dealership to have it reprogrammed hoping it’d allow the switch to work. After no success they looked further into the problem and Dodge confirmed it was the gear shifting cable. When I called Dodge to have them look into it more, they let me know there’s nothing they can do and refused the attempt to fix it, saying there’s no remedy. No other codes were mentioned, other than the ignition switch that was replaced / reconfigured by Dodge. Dodge confirmed it was the gear shifter by looking at the part. Due to the shop not knowing what to do, and not being able to fix the problem I haven’t had the best experience with being able to obtain documentation. Their receptionist let me know they deleted the file on my car. Since then I’ve reached out asking for proof of documentation from Dodge, and called Dodge as well, but haven’t been given the documentation I’ve requested many times.

The shift cable became disconnected from my vehicle with no prior warning while I was driving through a parking lot. The car would not move into park, or any other shift as it was stuck in reverse, and since it would not move into park, the car would not turn off, causing danger for every passenger in the car. All of our safety was at risk. We had to have the car towed to a firestone, where they were able to replace the shift cable, for the car to start working properly again. Just 2 days later, I received a recall notice in the mail, in regards to this very feature- the shift cable- disconnecting and causing the car to be stuck in motion in one direction. Exactly what happened to my car, and what I had just paid out of pocket to fix. I submitted this invoice and receipt for reimbursement, as a part was fixed which is inked to the recall, before I even knew there was a recall. Upon contacting Dodge, they simply stated they will not reimburse me since there is no remedy to the recall. Not reimbursing a customer who's life was at risk due to the recall, and had to fix the issue out of emergency, is inexcusable. I should not have to wait for a 'remedy' to be provided when I already paid out of pocket to have it fixed.

I am unable to remove my key after it is in park. I have the unplug my negative terminal to get the key to come out.

Vehicle VIN [xxx] transmissions shift cable bushing issue. It's broken now. Under a recall. Took vehicle to bob moore Dodge in okc 09/07/2024. They acknowledge the VIN is under recall. The part is broken today. But the part is not available. Per bob moore Dodge the part is not available in okc, or anywhere in the us and may never be available. The y suggested I try going to another Dodge dealer in town - 20 miles away, david stanley Dodge, but even then, they admit david stanley Dodge does not have the part. And they admit the vehicle may not be safe to drive. Mopar site [xxx] clearly shows the parts are available. So I think there is an issue here. Bob moore Dodge in okc just does not want to mess with fixing this issue? or is the mopar site wrong? so it's a Dodge vehicle. Broken down now. Transmission shift cable no longer attached to the transmission. Recall on this exact issue. I'm told it's not going to be fixed today, tomorrow and perhaps never.

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.

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.

I've had 0 signs of clutch issues in my 2014 Dart. All of a sudden. It went. A peice has some how out of no where just fell off resulting in barely able to move it. This went while on the highway out of no where while. Driving.

The contact stated that the shift lever failed to register the intended gear on the gear shift selector. The contact stated that the gear selector only selected neutral or park correctly.

Less than 2 years after purchasing this vehicle brand new my car started consuming oil and actually caused my car to die in the middle of the road. Chrysler ended up completely replacing my engine due to scoring found in the pistons. In the last year I have done another oil consumption and feel just under the threshold of what Chrysler deems "bad enough". They did an update and it has not been a problem since. In the past few months I have been having issues with my car in park not releasing my key. My car will be in park and I can turn it back 1 notch and it gets stuck in the acc position. Turns out my shifter cable was damaged and I have replaced that with a $500+ repair. Well unfortunately it didn't completely solve my problem and I will still occasionally have the issue and now they are stating I need to completely replace my shifter and knob assembly. The repairs don't seem to stop. . .

When driving vehicle at 40+ mph and making a turn the vehicle then stalls, loosing power and the transmission will not resume acceleration after turn is completed. We had to pull the vehicle off the road and out of traffic because of power loss. The vehicle check engine light was illuminated prior to experiencing problem. A dealership in oklahoma city, ok confirmed a transmission malfunction code.

When trying to park the car it doesn’t necessarily allow you to turn the car off without moving the shifter around until the car is satisfied and allows you to finally shut down. Also the radio seems to just shut off and on once and awhile.

Unknown. . . . Transmission fluid reservoir was not holding the fluid and leaking it out and I didn't know of this til my car all of a sudden would not go as I pressed on the gas and then it jerk out of nowhere and it sped up all on its own and I almost rear ended the vehicle in front of me but I steered to side of road and it was still reving up and then stalled and I had no power steering power and brakes were hard to use. There was no pressure warning signs this car was running perfectly fine before this happened. No low fluid notification no check engine light or anything.

My engine is still shutting off randomly and they told me that there is a recall on my powertrain and all they did was reprogram it even though that is not helping my car it’s still shutting off or trying to shut off.

Clutch wouldn’t decompress and stuck to the floor. Couldn’t shift gear while I while driving and I had to pull over. Luckily there was no traffic at the time. Waiting for the dealership get back to me on a response. They haven’t checked it out yet. There was no warning lights or anything to indicate there was a problem.

The contact stated that the manufacturer had exceeded a reasonable amount of time for the recall repair. The manufacturer was not notified of the issue. The contact had not experienced a failure. Parts distribution disconnect.

I pull out in front of car don't know if car is going to or lag. Eats oil.

Car spontaneously stalled in highway driving. Seems to be a known issue. 2013 Darts were actually recalled over the issue. Incredibly dangerous. Dodge should be required to recall the 2014s just like they recalled the 2013s.

Vehicle sometimes will not shift into park. I have to repeatedly shift and restart when stationary.

2014 Dodge Dart purchased new. Was driving vehicle on city street and came to stop and car just stalled on me with no warning which was very scary. Vehicle would not stop stalling so took to dealership and the technician said it would cost at least a thousand to take car apart as they believe it is a internal engine problem. It sucks cause now my car is out of warranty and by doing some searching looks like this is not a new problem to Dodge but nothing was ever done about it. My car is in great condition with only 60,000 miles.

My car has been at dewey since July 23rd for a service transmission light. When I dropped my car off, it was plugged into the computer and I was told that the code that popped up was for a recall on a transmission module and once the service tech looked at it, I would receive a call regarding any costs and time of repair. As I was leaving on vacation for the week, I was not too concerned. Saturday 7/25 - I received a call that a part was on order and the car should be ready Monday or Tuesday. Again, as I was on vacation, I said that would be just fine. I started calling and texting my service advisor, trent, Thursday (7/30) morning. I did not hear anything from him until Saturday (8/1). He stated he forgot to call me but that there was a problem with my car. He said the module was replaced and when they went to start the car, there was no power. The electrical system is fried. He said that the lead tech would look at it Monday and we would go from there. Tuesday 8/4 - I received a call from trent that the lead tech needed to reach out to Chrysler for assistance. Friday 8/7 - received a call that Chrysler was sending another module and it should be there Monday. Monday 8/8 - we had the storm and I didn't hear anything which is understandable. Thursday 8/6 - received a call that the module did not work. Chrysler decided to send a whole new transmission. It will be here Monday or Tuesday and will know more by end of the week. Monday 8/10 - email sent to gm at dewey expressing concern. Spoke with him regarding trading in car or additional warranty on my car. Told no additional warranty will be given. Transfer to sales. Thursday 8/13 - told my car would be ready early next week. Wednesday 8/17 - called service again. Were told not sure that the new transmission even arrived. Will call back. Drive through the dealership and my car is just sitting outside in the lot.

On three occasions, my car has completely turned off while the car was on and in drive. On one occasion, in September 2019, I drifted to safety and tried putting my car in park, the shifter effortlessly slid to park mode but the light was on "d" as if it were in drive. I could not take my key out because my car thought it was in drive so I was stuck with my foot on the break, with a car that shut down on me. I couldn't even move the key to try to take it out and restart the car. I brought my car in and "fixed it'. I was told there was a v34 recall and that they replaced the transmission side shifter cable bushing. However, less than a year later it happened again, twice today (June 2020). Once on my way too the gym and once from the gym, back home. On both occasions today, the electronics on the touch screen and the digital display that displays the speed went black and restarted then my car completely died while in drive. Cars piled up behind me. People were honking and angry. I tried moving the shifter to park so I could take my key out and restart but the car locked up on me and I was unable to move the shift or take my key out. I had to wiggle the key out for over a couple min and eventually was able to move the key in park and take it out and restarted my car. It caused a traffic dilemma and was terrifying that my car completely shut down in a not so safe area and on a really busy road during rush hour. How could you sell a car to society that will spontaneously stop? I could have died!.

Tl- the contact owns a 2014 Dodge Dart. The contact stated that she had received a recall notice for NHTSA campaign number: 19v293000 (power train). The contact took the vehicle to stevens creek Chrysler Jeep Dodge ram 4100 stevens creek blvd, san jose, CA 95129 for the repair; however, the vehicle would not start when the vehicle was returned to the contact. The dealer agreed to repair the vehicle and had the battery replaced. The contact then received another recall notification(recall unknown) and returned to the dealer for the repair. Upon return of the vehicle, the vehicle would not start for the second time.

I was driving to work and not even a mile from my house when I was coming to a stop at a stop sign my 2014 Dodge Dart sxt stalled. When it stalled the battery light came on and I shut it off. I was able to get it to start the next try. Then 7 days later, I was driving no more than 30 seconds when I was coming to a stop at another stop sign and the car stalled again with the battery light coming on. I tried to start it again a few times but was not successful. I needed a jump. I drove it straight to a mechanic who ran a few tests on the car including checking the battery and charging system. He said everything looked good which I figured since I just changed the battery a year ago. I drove it home. 2 days later I was two blocks from my house when it stalled for a third time (mind you this has never happened before these occurrences). Again, I was coming to a stop and the car stalled, the battery light came on, and I needed to have a jump since I couldn't get it to start. After researching a bit, this seems to be a very common issue. A few people said that changing the oil or adding more did the trick so I checked my oil and it was fine plus I changed the oil 3 months ago so it isn't that. Most cases mentioned that this started to occur around the 50,000 mile mark, which is about where mine is. There really should be a recall on this car � it's a death trap! when the car stalls the power steering goes out as well so if this happened on the highway it would be very dangerous. This issue could really hurt someone and Dodge really needs to do something about it or find a solution. I took my car to the dealership in jenkintown, PA to get looked at and was informed of a few recalls but none that had to do with my issues. The fact that this is clearly a common issue is very concerning especially since there seems to be no clear solution.

Car not running properly or even functioning due to an issue with the body control module. Running rough, screen to gps blacking out. No ability to even turn the heat off/on when malfunctioning. These are all things that occur either when idling or the car is in motion.

When putting the car in park, the car doesn't turn off. We brought it to the dealer to get a recall done, but the problem was never fixed. I think Dodge just sent the notice and lied about how to fix the problem. The dealer, suresky, wanted to charge to have the diagnostics done on the car, but since the recall was never fixed, I don't want to pay for the diagnostics. The same problem still exists.

Tl the contact owns a 2014 Dodge Dart. While the contact was attempting to drive in reverse, the vehicle shifted into neutral independently. Also, the check engine and gear shifter warning indicators illuminated. Furthermore, the back up camera would not function. The vehicle was taken to federico Chrysler Dodge Jeep ram (1875 e edwardsville rd, wood river, IL 62095, 618-254-1000) where it was diagnosed that the shifter cable detached from the transmission. The vehicle was included in NHTSA campaign number: 19v293000 (power train). The manufacturer was not notified. The failure mileage was 44,000. VIN tool confirms parts not available.

It started back in April. My car wouldn't go into reverse. It started flashing the r on the dash then next to the gear shift. I took it into the shop. It then started not going into reverse or drive. Not only would the lights flash at me but it would say place vehicle into neutral then drive or reverse. It ended up towed once because t wouldn't go anywhere. The service engine light popped up. It said all my gears were not found. It has been in and out of the shop 7 times for this same reason. It won't reverse and/or won't go into drive. The gear shift also popped into park going down the interstate. Most recently I had a collision where it was suppose to be in reverse and ended up going forward and hitting a parked vehicle. My vehicle is still not fixed and I owe money on it. My brakes haven't been working correctly and I know they are still good because my mechanic dad and boyfriend have checked them. The cruise will go off randomly and the touch screen goes white, black and back on. There is an open recall with no remedy. I do not feel like this is the cause. Also, I am having problems getting the ignition to release my key. Dodge hired an investigator. It took my car being hit before they decided to take action. I feel like I'm driving a death trap that I can't get out of and usually have one to 3 kids in my car. I'd rather not have a serious accident because this car is a piece of (xxx).

Tl- the contact owns a 2014 Dodge Dart. The contact stated that while driving at various speeds, the vehicle shuts off without warning. The contact stated that after the vehicle shuts off, the vehicle will sometimes restart and other times it would take multiple attempts to restart. The contact took the vehicle to an independent mechanic where they were unable to diagnose the vehicle. The manufacturer had not been notified of the failure. The vehicle had not been repaired. The failure mileage was approximately 70,000. Jo.

In short I paid out of pocket and submitted work order and paid receipt three times. Repair was done in June and they said they'd get back to me in August. All I'm getting is run around, I've been more than patient. . Thank you.

When I put my car in park and turn the key left to turn off car, it won't let me. So I have to restart my car move the gears from park to another and then back to park, wait for the click noise and then turn my car off.

Car will not go into park when trying to park. Car says not I. Park and will not turn off.
