general problems of the 2015 Dodge Dart - part 1

I will be driving and there’s a click and suddenly no power just goes dead.

When I want to turn off my car, the key gets stuck in acc and does not turn to off. The key wont turn all the way off gets stuck, even though I am in parking. I saw that their is a recall for this and their is no answer for this yet or remedy I mean. But it has been happening to my car every single day, every single time I drive and I am very scared for my safety. Especially when having kids or other people in the car with me.

My car had a recall which was repaired with a previous owner in 2020 an the defeat is still active an the dealership is refusing to honor the service due to it being done I am currently homeless an currently rely on my car for basic transportation my car is stuck in reverse the key is stuck in the ignition an the power is draining in my batters causing more issues due to the issues related to the call that was repaired an now refract is still active.

Recall number a0c and NHTSA recall number 25v-674 has yet been addressed by the dealer or manufacturer. I contacted the dealership back in October of 2025 when learning about the recall at which time I was told there was no remedy as of yet. We are now in April of 2026 and there remains no remedy for a recall that imposes a risk of losing control of the vehicle's movement which ultimately will and can lead to a crash.

There was a safely recall sent on oct 9, 2025 and there’s no remedy by manufacturer and I am unsure of what to do now ?.

Vehicle randomly stopped working 9 days after purchase. After a diagnose, it is the breaking of the shifter cable when trying to switch to drive.

Unable to remove key from ignition have to wiggle the gear selector to be able to remove key.

My car keeps going into neutral when I’m going down the interstate or highway with my eight-year-old in the car and I have to pull over and restart the car for it to go anywhere. There’s no warning it just does it. It says there are no unrepaired recalls on my car I bought it used, but when I looked up the recalls for the car, there were five and I know at least three of them are wrong with my car. Is there anything I can do to get these fixed? I am a single mother and I cannot afford to have it fixed. Is there anyone who can help me? to recall, I’m pretty sure it is wrong. On other Dodge Darts was the transmission control module or something like that and my car is doing the same thing only it’s saying I don’t have a recall for my car. This happens on a daily basis.

The vehicle’s gear shifter intermittently locks in the park position, preventing the key fob from being removed from the ignition. When this occurs, the shifter must be manually wiggled back and forth to release the key. This malfunction poses a potential safety risk, as the driver may be delayed in exiting or securing the vehicle in certain situations. The issue occurs intermittently and has not yet been inspected by a dealer or service center. No warning lights or messages appeared prior to the malfunction.

The recall was for the pcm, which is the powertrain control module. Dodge reprogrammed it, but now my mechanic is telling me it actually needs to be replaced—and I’m being charged for that. I don’t believe the recall resolved the core issue, and I’m concerned the repair wasn’t thorough enough. I’d like to request that my case be escalated or reviewed for possible goodwill assistance or reimbursement. I have the VIN and documentation if you need it.

On 3/18/26 I reported a serious safety issue involving my vehicle, which currently has an open manufacturer recall with no available remedy. The vehicle has experienced multiple dangerous and malfunctioning conditions. First, the vehicle intermittently displays a dashboard message indicating that the vehicle is "not in park" even when it is clearly in the park position. When this occurs, I am unable to turn the vehicle off. I have had to wait approximately 15 minutes before the vehicle will allow me to shut it down. Second, while driving at approximately 40 mph, including while exiting the highway, the vehicle has stalled and completely shut off while in motion. This has occurred multiple times and created a significant safety risk due to sudden loss of power during active driving. Additionally, the vehicle frequently displays a message stating "engine warming, please wait to start," even when weather conditions are warm. Most recently, at approximately 70 degrees outside, the vehicle would not start and continued to display the message. I waited approximately one hour attempting to start the vehicle before it randomly started. These issues appear to be worsening. I attempted to schedule repair for the open recall, but I was advised by the manufacturer that there is currently no remedy available. Due to the vehicle stalling in motion and preventing proper shutdown and startup, I believe this represents a serious safety defect that puts me and others at risk. The vehicle previously experienced stalling while driving in motion. I brought the vehicle in for a recall repair on 01/27/25. #u90 2014-2016 at davis moore after the recall repair, the stalling condition improved; however, the vehicle began experiencing additional serious issues including the vehicle not recognizing the park position, inability to shut off, and intermittent failure to start with "engine warming" messages. These ongoing defects continue to affect the safe and reliable operation of the vehicle.

I have a back up camera as original equipment with the vehicle. For several years now, the camera will intermittently work. Many times, the camera comes on then quickly goes out. I have no picture to assist me when backing out of the driveway, the parking spot, or other situations. I need to crane my head, neck and body around to make sure the way is clear. I use the mirrors and even had my passenger get out of the car and assist in backing out of a parking spot. When I took the car to the dealership, I was told I would need to buy a new camera which costs hundreds of dollars. This week I found out there is a recall on Dodge, Jeep and Chrysler vehicles regarding the back up camera. However it does not cover the year of my vehicle which is 2015. I am wondering why my vehicle is not included. Is it because those model years are more likely not to be operating on the road??? is it not still a safety issue? please let me know what I can do. I like my car and it isn't junk yet.

Automatic transmission shifter cable bushing on transmission side failed for the second time. This is a recalled item for this make and model. It was repaired in 2019 but has failed again. Dealer told me they would not repair again. It’s obvious the material they use to make the bushing are prematurely failing do to heat.

My car kept dying on me randomly flashing a light on my dash of a lightning bolt in between two curved lines. I researched it and it was saying that my throttle positioner was going out.

The ecm/throttle positioning system has been faulting for a while and only getting worse causing the car to just randomly steal with no power. Usually can shut off and restart car and itll be good for 1 min - 30 min you never really know. I got stranded in the middle of the highway and couldn't start my car after it died while driving down the road.

Safety recall v34 NHTSA 19v293 transmission shift cable bushing – 2013-2016 Dodge Dart | fca.

The car intentionally starts. The radio sometimes works and sometimes has no power. It loses the air conditioner and power windows. It burns off excessive amounts of coolant. It smells like it is running hot but isn't. When turning key the gages bounce and it clicks and clicks. Sometimes it starts and other times it will not. Multiple people have stated the same issues. Spending good amount of money on batteries, starters and alternator. The issue continues. The car is at 94k miles.

The trunk opens when it's not supposed to, it opens on its own. I changed the lock mechanism and it still opens on its own.

I was driving the other day dropping off food for a customer and as I shifted my car from park to drive it wouldn’t change gears. Now let me remind u I’m stuck in the middle of these strangers driveway as they’re trying to leave their home and I cannot switch into reverse so I had to keep my foot on that break pedal the entire time. Thank god they were very understanding ( because who knows what could’ve happened) and said they were leaving for something that wasn’t very important and would go another day. Come to find out it was my cable shifter which I had already had reapired previously as a recall. I haven’t even been able to drive the car because it will not shift into any gear. It’s currently just sitting across the street in my apartment complex as I have no way to work or anywhere for that matter. I called the same dealership (I took it to the first time I had the recall done)as soon as the incident happend to see if I could just get it repaired again (which I shouldn’t have to) and they told me that there was no way I was gonna be able to drop my car off at the dealership because they were extremely backed up so it would take 4 weeks before they could have anyone even look at the car. I described what it was doing over the phone to him and he said it most definitely was the cable shifter. And not only that but he also told me that even with it sitting here or there they don’t even have the part to fix the vehicle at the moment. This isn’t even the least of issues with this vehicle that I haven’t even owned for 2 years. There were never any warning lights or anything that popped up on the dashboard.

Clutch quite working while trying to change gears.

When car is put in park, the key is unable to be taken out of the ignition and the car remains on. Ongoing issue. Was told the previous recall (something with cable bushing) would fix the issue. It did not.

From control arms are welded down and some sort of screw goes through transmission. Mechanics are unable to remove and replace the front control arms because of that. If I cannot get the front control arms replaced, I cannot get an wheel alignment.

When I first got this car three years ago I had a shift problem in the transmission it got stuck in the gear and I couldn't pull the key out when I did some research I realize that there was a recall so of course I went to the dealership and have them take a look at it to fix it they said that I will still be charge in the problem wasn't even originally fixed they rigged it they just made it to where I could pull off but I was still charged and now a couple years later I am having transmission problems again and the dealership is saying that I need a transmission as I am doing a research I realize that my transmission again has a recall on it.

I have had the brakes replaced twice due to it shaking while trying to stop. I also have put on three sets of rotors due to the shaking and even with brand new rotors the bouncing and shaking will not go away. The newest problem now is the brakes not wanting to work. I have had them checked by mechanics and they say there's nothing to do but change them out again!.

Last night I was driving onto a highway entrance. I went to switch from 1st to 2nd gear. I was going about 25 mph when this happened. I pushed in the clutch pedal to shift gears and I heard a loud click. I lifted my foot off the pedal and the pedal was stuck, pushed all the way in. I had to pull off of the road, and by hand, pull the pedal up. Now every time I push the clutch pedal in to shift gears it gets stuck and I have to wedge my foot under the pedal to pull it back up with my foot. I only did this to drive my car back home. I haven't driven it since.

Key is staying stuck in the ignition. I have to keep putting it in and out of park unitl it recognizes it is in park to shut off and release the key. It happens when I try to shut off the car. It started once in a while and now its every time I drive the car and park it.

No oil light on, no engine light, and it stalled. There is a problem with oil consumption with the 2. 4 engine. My car died after backing out of my driveway and starting a turn. Y car stalled out twice in the middle of intersections very dangerous. Battery light came on, music continued, but enginge just died. The steering wheel froze (no more power steering), and I couldn't press my brake down, it just sat there in the road. I checked the level of my oil and it doesn't even cover the curved part of the dipstick, that's how low it is. The car stalled out again, a few months after the oil change. The car is not indicating when it needs oil, and is shutting itself off so it doesn't over heat while driving at speeds 70mph+ and in the middle of intersections while turning.

My brake calipers are loose on the vehicle so much that you can shake them with your bare hands and as you drive down the road you hear a noise that sounds like a clicking sound I would like this to b looked at as a possible recall if others are having the same issue. Im worry that it could cause an accident and my son or I could get hurt or hurt someone else. You can hear this noise as you are driving especially when u hot a small bump on my private road I live on.

The key sometimes gets stuck in the ignition and takes a while to take out.

While my vehicle was in motion, it completely died while in the middle of an intersection and had a very difficult time getting it started again.

My check engine light is on. I had it checked it's not reading anything. My right turn signal light keep going out. I have paid firestone in east chase in montgomery al to replace the socket and I have had the bulb changed out at least 3 times. My trunk started out opening by it self. I had the battery replaced in the remote. Now the trunk will not open at all. The reverse lights are out. I replaced the bulbs. Still won't work, the trunk light is out. Now the car has started to beep beep like I have locked or unlocked the door when I have not touched it. I have to replace my battery every 3 months. Something is wrong. I have paid money at brewbaker and firestone in montgomery al. I still have the same problem. When I start the car up. The car beeps beeps when it is parked and the doors locked.

Tire pressure monitoring systems a malfunctioning tpms light will not notify an owner of an improperly inflated tire. An improperly inflated tire may experience a complete loss of tire pressure, increasing the risk of a vehicle crash.
