37 Power Train problem

Failure Date: 12/29/2019

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.

39 Power Train problem

Failure Date: 11/13/2019

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.

41 Power Train problem

Failure Date: 07/11/2019

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).

51 Power Train problem

Failure Date: 04/17/2019

On April 17, 2019, when arriving at destination, I attempted to shift gears into park. However, gears shifted into reverse permanently. I called my siblings to assist with getting the car out of reverse, the handle would move but the gears would not change. The only way we could get the car to stop was with the emergency break. We turned off the ignition, but all lights stayed on and we could not remove the key from the ignition. The only way to get the key out was to unhook the battery. I contacted the manufacturer the following day on April 18th, and they advised of a recall for shift cable bushing. I asked how long the process would take, they stated they would mail a letter to advise how to set up appointment, they would have to order parts. I called back on April 25th to inquire once again about how long the process usually takes, and they did not advise of a time frame. I advised the representative that my car cannot be driven at all, and asked if I were to get a rental car or get my car fixed myself would I be reimbursed. The representative advised that there is no guarantee. I've contacted the manufacturer once again on may 8, 2019. Representative advised that the part has still not been ordered and there is no estimated time.

52 Power Train problem

Failure Date: 04/15/2019

I pulled up into my driveway, I started to put my car in park, and it would not go in to park. It felt like the entire shifter was broken or loose, as it would freely move up and down without actively putting the car in park, neutral, reverse or drive. I could not pull my key out, I had no other option, but to pull the emergency brake, and unplug my battery. I finally figured out how to pull the key out of the fob, so that I didn't have to leave my keys in the car. This was in mid to late April. I went online to see if I could troubleshoot and found out that there was a recall on the shifter cable bushing, which is exactly what was missing from my car. I observed the shifter cable was no longer attached, and that is why the vehicle could not be shifted into any gears. It is now July 18th, and I still have not been able to use my vehicle. No one can fix it, due to the part not being available. The manufacturer recall number is v34, and the NHTSA recall number is 19v-293. The recall started April 11th 2019 and I have yet to see anything from Dodge. I have been put on a list to be made aware when a part is available, but now I am getting upset because I can no longer sustain not having a working car, especially one that I pay for every month.

Failure Date: 12/31/2018

Issue began to occur where car will lose acceleration and must be turned off in order to work again. It has happened about six times now where the car must be pulled to the side of the road (if possible) and restarted. During restart, the engine hesitates/sputters for about 5 seconds before returning to seemingly normal operation. At no other time does the car act like this. Normally it will have no problems starting up. Just last night, I went to leave and was unable to take the car out of park. After a quick search I found that the car may have a loose or bad shifting cable. Another issue that seems to be reoccurring in these cars.

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!!.
