2014 Dodge Dart Complaint Log

SUDDEN STALLING AT ANY SPEED, BEEN TO TOWBIN DODGE IN HENDERSON NEVADA, THEY SAY THEY ALL DO THAT WHEN IT NEEDS AN OIL CHANGE, SO I ASKED THEM, THERE IS ONLY 500 MILES SINCE U GUYS JUST CHANGED IT, THEY HOOKED UP A SCANNER AND SAID NO CODES CARS FINE. I SAID IT SHUTS OFF FOR NO REASON, THE STEERING GETS SUPER STIFF WHEN THE CAR DIES, AND IT'S A PUSH BUTTON START SYSTEM, THEN IT MAKES A FUNNY NOISE, AFTER A FEW ATTEMPTS IT WILL START UP AND BE FINE FOR A WEEK OR SO, SOMETIMES IT STALKS 2 TO 3 TIMES IN A MILE. I'VE BEEN READING ABOUT THE DODGE DART WITH THEV2.4 LTR ENGINE STALLS FOR NO REASON, THIS IS A HUGE SAFETY ISSUE. THE DEALER STILL INSISTS IT'S AN OIL CHANGE TIMER IN THE COMPUTER THAT GETS YOU TO CHANGE THE OIL. I STRONGLY DISAGREE WITH THAT REASONING TO STALL THE CAR OUT ON THE FREEWAY OR INTERSECTION BECAUSE IT NEEDS AN OIL CHANGE.

WHILE TAKING OFF FROM A LIGHT MADE A LEFT TURN AND THE CAR JUST DIES THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS DOES NOT WANT TO START RIGHT AWAY TAKES A FEW MIN IT STARTED THIS IS SCARY BECAUSE MY 1997 DODGE TRUCK STILL HAS ALL ORIGINAL STUFF AND NEVER THESE PROBLEMS

I LOVE MY CAR. I DO NOT LOVE HAVING TO DUMP A QUART OF OIL IN IT EVERY 1,000 MILES. WHILE DRIVING MY CAR IT SHUT OFF. EVERYTHING SHUT OFF! I MANAGED TO GET IT RESTARTED AND MAKE IT BACK TO MY JOB BUT THEN HAD TO HAVE THE CAR TOWED BECAUSE IT SHUT OFF AGAIN AND WOULDN'T RESTART. AT THE TIME I HAD NO CLUE ABOUT THE OIL ISSUE AS I BOUGHT MY CAR BRAND NEW IN 2014. IT IS COSTING ME QUITE A BIT TO KEEP OIL IN IT. THE MANUFACTURER FLAW IS THAT THEY USED ALUMINUM PISTON WHICH BURN THROUGH THE OIL. THIS NEEDS TO BE FIXED AND A RECALL NEEDS TO BE ISSUED. THIS IS DANGEROUS AND MAY END IN DEATH FOR SOME UNSUSPECTING CONSUMER. ALSO, AFTER COMING TO A STOP AT A STOP LIGHT OR SIGN THE CAR SHIFTS OUT OF DRIVE AS SOON AS YOU RELEASE THE BREAK AND PRESS ON THE GAS. I HAVE HAD THIS HAPPEN MULTIPLE TIMES AND HAVE ALMOST BEEN HIT AS IT WILL MOVE SLIGHTLY IN TO THE INTERSECTION AND THEN ACTS LIKE IT ISN'T GOING TO GO ANYWHERE WHEN IT ALL OF A SUDDEN JUMPS BACK INTO DRIVE. THIS IS A MAJOR HAZARD AND I AM UNSURE WHY THIS ISSUE AND THE OTHER ISSUES WITH THE 2014 DART ARE NOT BEING INVESTIGATED AND NO RECALLS ARE BEING ISSUED FOR THIS VIN #. OBVIOUSLY, THERE ARE MANY COMPLAINTS ABOUT THESE ISSUES. SINCE THE ISSUES CAN END IN FATALITIES IT SHOULD BE LOOKED AT A LOT CLOSER THAN IT IS. THESE ISSUES ARE CONTINUAL, THERE ISN'T JUST ONE DATE FOR THEM.

INTERIOR ELECTRICAL PROBLEMS FROM DAY 1. RANDOM ELECTRICAL COMPONENTS SHUT OFF AND RESTART ALL THE TIME. ALSO BRAKES BECAME HARDER AND HARDER TO USE, UNTIL THEY STOPPED WORKING ALTOGETHER IN TRAFFIC, BUT STARTED WORKING AGAIN AFTER COLLISION

BOUGHT A 2014 DODGE DART 2 YEARS. HAD NO PROBLEMS WITH IT TILL RECENTLY WHEN CAR STARTED TO SHUT OFF WHILE RUNNING IN MOTION. I LOST POWER STEERING CONTROL AND POWER TO THE WHOLE CAR. INCIDENT HAPPENED ON FOUR DIFFERENT OCCASION. THREE TIMES ON RESIDENTIAL ROAD AND ONCE ON FREEWAY. COMPLETELY A SAFETY ISSUE AND HAS PUT MY LIFE IN DANGER MULTIPLE TIMES. ELECTRONIC THROTTLE CONTROL, ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL LIGHT, AND CHECK ENGINE LIGHT TURNED ON. CONTACTED CHRYSLER DODGE AND THEIR SOLUTION WAS TO HAVE ME TOW CAR TO DEALERSHIP AND PAY TO HAVE CAR SERVICED EVEN THOUGH CAR IS STILL UNDER WARRANTY. CAR HAS PUT MY LIFE AND THE LIFE OF OTHER PEOPLE IN DANGER MULTIPLE TIMES AND THE COMPANY SEEMS TO NOT CARE EVEN AFTER CONTACTING THEM FORMALLY WITH COMPLAINT.

THE CAR HAS EXCESSIVE ROTOR WEAR AND INTERMITTENT BRAKING ISSUES. THE DEALER SERVICE CENTER DOESN'T SEEM OVER CONCERNED OR SUGGEST IT MIGHT BE COVERED UNDER OUR PREMIUM EXTENDED WARRANTY. THE PROBLEM WAS NOTICED EARLY IN JULY AND THE VEHICLE IS CURRENTLY IN THE SHOP FOR OTHER REPAIRS. MY WIFE STATES THAT THE CAR SOMETIMES HAS TROUBLE STOPPING, AND HAS TO PUSH THE BRAKES HARDER TO BRING IT TO A STOP WHEN THE BRAKING PROBLEM OCCURS.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 DODGE DART. WHILE DRIVING VARIOUS SPEEDS, THE VEHICLE LOST POWER AND STALLED. ALSO, THE BATTERY INDICATOR ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC, BUT THEY WERE UNABLE TO IDENTIFY THE CAUSE OF THE FAILURE. THE CONTACT CALLED KELLER MOTORS INC (1795 S PERRYVILLE BLVD, PERRYVILLE, MO 63775, (573) 547-1002) AND WAS INFORMED THAT THE VIN WAS NOT INCLUDED IN ANY RECALLS. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS CONTACTED VIA EMAIL, BUT THEY DID NOT RESPOND. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 129,059.

PULLING TO A STOP ON THE MORNING OF TUESDAY, JUNE 21, CAR SHUDDERED THEN DIED 1 BLOCK FROM HOME. NO WARNING LIGHTS CAME ON, AND NONE HAD FLASHED IN THE 1.5 YEARS I HAVE OWNED THE CAR. COULD NOT GET CAR TO START FOR 10 MINUTES. ONCE CAR STARTED, NO WARNING LIGHTS APPEARED. DROVE IT TO MY LOCAL SERVICE STATION FOR A DIAGNOSTIC. THEY FOUND NO ISSUES. DROVE IT ALL DAY WEDNESDAY WITH NO ISSUES. THURSDAY MORNING, IT SHUDDERED AND DIED ABOUT 3 BLOCKS FROM HOME. AGAIN NO WARNING LIGHTS, AND CAR WOULD NOT START. HAD IT TOWED TO LOCAL SERVICE STATION WHERE IT WAS SERVICED ON TUESDAY. WHILE WAITING FOR A TOW, SEARCHED THE INTERNET FOR COMMON DODGE DART PROBLEMS, AND DISCOVERED THAT THEY BURN THROUGH OIL. CHECKED THE OIL AND ZERO OIL WAS REGISTERED ON THE DIPSTICK, DESPITE HAVING JUST OVER 3K MILES SINCE LAST OIL CHANGE. NO SIGNS OF AN OIL LEAK. NO WARNING LIGHTS OR INDICATORS OF A PROBLEM. NO ISSUES WITH OVER HEATING. MECHANIC IS CURRENTLY DIAGNOSING THE ISSUE TO DETERMINE A FIX. THIS IS A RECURRING PROBLEM WITH DODGE DARTS IF COMPLAINTS ON PUBLIC FORUMS ARE ANY INDICATION. REPORTS OF ENGINES SEIZING DUE TO BURNING THROUGH OIL AT AN EXCESSIVELY HIGH RATE ARE COMMON FOR THIS CAR WHETHER THE CAR HAS 9K MILES, OR 50K MILES. IT IS INCREDIBLY DANGEROUS FOR A CAR TO RUN WITHOUT OIL, AND POSSES A SERIOUS SAFETY RISK, ESPECIALLY IF THE ELECTRICAL AND DIAGNOSTIC INFORMATION IS NOT RECOGNIZING THE ISSUE SO THAT OWNERS CAN ADDRESS IT IN ADVANCE OF ENGINE SEIZURE.

THIS VEHICLE HAVE HAD TWO OCCASIONS OF MASTER CYLINDER BRAKE FLUID LOSS AND UNEXPLAINED TOTALL ENGINE OIL EVAPORATION WITHOUT WARNING THAT CAUSED THE LOSS OF POWER WHILE DRIVING. LUCKILY IT HAPPENED IN CITY, NOT HIGHWAY.

CAR STARTING STALLING/DYING WHEN DRIVING IN JUNE 2016. CAR WAS TOWED TO THE DEALER (UNDER WARRANTY) THE DEALER REPLACED THE BATTERY. AFTER 2 MONTHS THE HEATER/AC STOPPED WORKING AND THE CAR BEGAN STALLING AGAIN. IN NOVEMBER THE CAR BEGAN STALLING/DYING WHILE DRIVING. THE CAR IS IN MOTION WHEN THIS HAPPENS. THIS IS A SERIOUS SAFETY HAZARD. THE CAR DIES LEAVING YOU WITH NO POWER AND STUCK IN TRAFFIC. IT SEEMS TO HAPPEN DURING A TURN ON MOST OCCASIONS. I FEAR GETTING HIT BY ANOTHER CAR WHEN THIS HAPPENS. I HAVE NOTICED SEVERAL SIMILAR COMPLAINTS WITH THIS. WHY HASN'T THIS BEEN INVESTIGATED. THE AVERAGE IS 20,00-30,000 MILES. PLEASE DO NOT WAIT UNTIL SOMEONE GETS HURT OR LOSSES A LIFE BEFORE AN INVESTIGATION ON THIS CAR IS MADE. *TR

THE LAST 6 MONTHS MY CAR IN THE MORNING HAS CLUTCH PROBLEMS. I START IT AND MY CLUTCH WILL STICK TO THE FLOOR UNTIL I EITHER USE MY FOOT OR HAND TO BRING IT UP. THEN I WILL HAVE TO PUMP THE CLUTCH MULTIPLE TIMES UNTIL IT STARTS WORKING. IT FEELS LIKE A SPONGE UNTIL IT GET PUMPED MULTIPLE TIMES THEN IT FINALLY FEELS LIKE IT IS WORKING NORMAL. THE LAST TIME IT HAPPENED WAS THIS MORNING.

I BOUGHT A BRAND NEW 2014 DODGE DART AERO AND ABOUT 3 WEEKS AFTER PURCHASING MY CAR STALLED AND SHUT OFF, THE TRANSMISSION LIGHT CAME ON. I TOOK IT TO DODGE AND THEY SAID THEY DID NOT HAVE A CODE BUT THEY SAW AN ISSUE WITH MY ANTI-LOCK BRAKE SYSTEM. A PART TO MY TRANSMISSION WAS RECALLED, WE WAITING FOR OVER 3 MONTHS FOR THE PART AND UPON BRINGING MY CAR TO THE DEALERSHIP THEY REPORTED MY CAR NOT STARTING. ABOUT 3 WEEKS AFTER MY TRANSMISSION RECALL WAS "FIXED" MY ENGINE STARTING SMOKING UPON STARTING THE CAR AT LEAST 5 TIMES AND MY ENGINE WAS COMPLETELY REPLACED, THEY AGAIN REPORTED MY CAR WOULD NOT CRANK. MY CAR WAS IN THE SHOP FOR 27 DAYS, TWO DAYS AFTER PICKING MY CAR UP IT WAS BROUGHT BACK TO THE DEALOR FOR THE CAR FEELING LIKE THE TRANSMISSION WAS SLIPPING AT VARIOUS SPEEDS. IT'S BEEN ALMOST 2 WEIEKS WITH NO UPDATE. DODGE RESOLUTIONS HAS SENT AN INSPECTOR. INITIALLY THE CAR WAS PURCHASED WITH ABOUT 220 MILES ON IT, THE CAR IS ONLY AT 17,000 NOW.

VEHICLE WAS PURCHASED USED NOVEMBER 2016. VEHICLE HAS AROUND 37000 MILES. WHILE DRIVING THE VEHICLE IT WILL RANDOMLY HAVE COMPLETE LOSS OF POWER AND THE BATTERY LIGHT WOULD TURN ON. ALSO, WHEN I WOULD TRY TO START THE VEHICLE AFTER IT SHUT OFF IT WOULD TAKE A FEW ATTEMPTS TO START THE VEHICLE AGAIN. IN THE PAST WEEK IT HAD HAPPENED 4 TIMES. I HAVE NOTICED IT HAPPENS WITHIN 10 MINUTES OF TURNING ON THE CAR AND IT HAS BEEN SITTING FOR 6+ HOURS. IN ONE INCIDENT I WAS TURNING ONTO A MAJOR ROAD AND IT SHUT OFF WHILE CARS WERE COMING. THIS IS AN EXTREME HAZARD TOWARD MY SAFETY AND OTHERS. *TR

MY 2014 DODGE DART LOSES OIL. THE OIL INDICATOR LIGHT DOES NOT WORK. HOWEVER THE OIL IS NOT LEAKING ON THE GROUND AND ONCE THERE IS NO OIL AT ALL IN THE VEHICLE, IT SHUTS OFF WHILE DRIVING. THIS HAPPENS UPON TAKING OFF. THE CAR HAS TO PUT IN NEUTRAL IN ORDER TO START.

TIGER SHARK MULTI-AIR 2 ENGINE CONSUMES 1QT OIL PER 1000 MILES. I WAS UNAWARE OF THIS CONSUMPTION ISSUE AND THE OIL WENT TO LOW AND ENGINE IS DESIGNED TO SHUT OFF. THIS STALLING HAS HAPPEN 3 TIMES TO AND 1 TO THE DEALERSHIP. NONE OF THE CARS WARNING INDICATORS COME ON WHEN PRESSURE IS LOW THE CAR JUST STALLS. DEALERSHIP RESOLUTION WATCH OIL LEVEL AND THERE IS FIX FOR THE CONSUMPTION OR ANY WAY FOR THE WARNING LIGHTS TO BE TRIGGERED. SO IF I FORGET TO CHECK THE OIL I AM GAMBLING WITH MY LIFE AND OTHERS ON THE ROAD IF THE CAR STALLS WHILE ON THE HIGHWAY.

PURCHASED THE DODGE DART RALLYE IN JULY 2014. DEC 2014 THE ENGINE BLEW BECAUSE OF OIL SLUDGE IN THE ENGINE. THE DEALERSHIP REPLACED THE ENGINE. THE CAR WAS IN THE SHOP FOR 30+ DAYS.FEB 2014 THE CAR WOULD NOT START. AFTER SEVERAL ATTEMPTS A LOUD NOISE AND WHITE PUFF OF SMOKE CAME FROM THE ENGINE AND THE CAR STARTED. DROVE IT DIRECTLY TO THE DEALERSHIP.THEY LOOKED AT IT AND SAID NOTHING WAS WRONG IT COULD OF BEEN CONDENSATION.A MONTH LATER THE ELECTRIC INSIDE THE CAR WASN'T WORKING. I TOOK THE CAR BACK AND THEY SAID NOTHING WAS WRONG. I ALSO BROUGHT THE CAR BACK BECAUSE THE ENGINE WAS VERY LOUD AND IT WAS VERY DIFFICULT TO SHIFT INTO GEAR.THEY SAID THE TIRES NEEDED TO BE REPLACED AND THAT IS WHAT WAS CAUSING THE LOUD NOISE. I REPLACED THE TIRES AND STILL HAD THE LOUD NOISE AND DIFFICULTLY SHIFTING. EACH TIME I WENT TO THE DEALERSHIP WITH THESE PROBLEMS THEY MADE ME FEEL STUPID. THEN ON THE EVENING OF NOV 29, 2015 WITH MY 3 KIDS IN THE CAR, THE TRANSMISSION BLEW UP. CLUTCH WENT TO THE FLOOR EXTREMELY LOUD NOISES, METAL PIECES SHOOTING OUT EVERYWHERE. I PULLED OVER AND SHUT THE ENGINE AND WE RAN FOR OUR LIVES. THERE WAS LIQUID ALL OVER THE ROAD. HUGE WHITE PUFF OF SMOKE COVERED THE ENTIRE BLOCK. METAL BOLTS AND PIECES EVERYWHERE. WE TOWED IT TO THE DEALERSHIP. THEN ON TUES THE SERVICE MGR CALLED ME AND SAID IT IS NOT COVERED UNDER WARRANTY BECAUSE IT WAS CAUSED BY DRIVER ERROR. SAID I WAS DRIVING THE CAR ROUGH OR SOMEONE WAS.. I AM THE ONLY ONE WHO DRIVES MY CAR. I AM A MOTHER OF 3 IN MY 40'S AND USE MY CAR FOR CLIENTS WHEN SHOWING HOUSES. I HAVE NO IDEA WHAT HE MEANS BY ROUGH DRIVING. I ASKED HIM TO EXPLAIN AND HE SAID I DON'T KNOW POPPING THE CLUTCH??? NOT KNOWING HOW TO DRIVE A MANUAL. WHICH I LEARNED ON ONE AND HAD ONE EVER SINCE. THEY REFUSE TO PAY FOR RENTAL CAR AND REFUSE TO FIX THE CAR. THE CAR ALSO HAS BODY DAMAGE FROM THE SHOOTING BOLTS.

WHILE DRIVING I BEGAN STOPPING AT A STOP SIGN THE CAR LOST POWER /STALLED. THE RADIO /DASH BOARD REMAINED ON . NO LIGHTS TO INDICATE THERE WAS A PROBLEM CAME ON ...IT TOOK THREE TRIES BEFORE THE CAR WOULD START. I TOOK IT TO THE DEALERSHIP WHERE THEY TOLD ME THERE IS NOTHING THEY CAN DO. THIS IS THE FIRST TIME IT HAPPENED TO ME I BOUGHT THE CAR USED IN AUGUST 2015 AND IT IS NOW NOVEMBER 2015 IT HAS ABOUT 21000 MILES ON IT

RENTAL CAR DODGE DART, RENTED ON 11/23. NOT SURE WHAT MODEL YEAR IT WAS. THE IGNITION SWITCH SHUT OFF TWICE OVER FOUR HOURS OF DRIVING IT. ONCE AS I WAS PARKING IN A PARKING SPOT AND ONCE WHILE I WAS ON THE HIGHWAY TRAVELING AT 70MPH. WHEN I GOT HOME, I TRIED TO SEE WHAT CAUSED IT TO SHUT OFF AND NOTICED THAT MY KNEE WAS TOUCHING THE EXTRA KEY ON THE KEY RING, WHICH PUT A SLIGHT BIT OF PRESSURE ON THE KEY IN THE IGNITION SWITCH, CAUSING THE IGNITION TO TURN OFF QUITE EASILY. LUCKILY I WAS ABLE TO GET THE CAR RESTARTED WHILE DRIVING, AND THAT THE HIGHWAY WAS NOT CURVED. OTHERWISE, THE OUTCOME COULD HAVE BEEN MUCH WORSE.

IN OCTOBER OF 2015, I WAS DRIVING IN THE 105 HIGHWAY & AS I STEPPED ON THE BRAKES TO SLOW DOWN DUE TO TRAFFIC, THE BRAKES MADE A HIGH PITCHED SOUND LIKE AN AIR LEAKING. WE DID NOT GET THE VEHICLE CHECKED RIGHT AWAY BECAUSE I HAD ONLY HAD MY VEHICLE FOR A LITTLE OVER A YEAR AND IT WAS NEW. BY DECEMBER WE DECIDED TO HAVE OUR BRAKES CHECKED BY MY UNCLE DUE TO THE FACT THAT I HAD TO ADD MORE PRESSURE TO THE BRAKES, AND THE NOISE WERE MORE CONTINUOUS. AFTER IT WAS CHECKED, MY UNCLE SAID THE BRAKES WERE STILL BRAND NEW AND HAD NO DAMAGE WHATSOEVER. BY JANUARY OF 2016, WE RECEIVED OUR FIRST SAFETY RECALL NOTICE REGARDING ALL DODGE DARTS OF YEARS 2013 AND 2014. I CONTACTED MY DEALER TO MAKE AN APPOINTMENT TO HAVE THE VEHICLE REPAIRED BUT I WAS TOLD THEY WOULD SEND A LETTER WHENEVER THEY HAD THE APPROPIATE PARTS READY. BY MARCH OF 2016, I CONTACTED THE DEALER AGAIN AND TOLD ME THE SAME THING. AS OF TODAY, MAY 12, 2016, I HAVE RECEIVED ANOTHER SAFETY RECALL NOTICE AND NO LETTER OR NOTICE FROM MY DEALER. THE VEHICLE IS STILL MAKING THE NOISE AND WE STILL HAVE TO ADD PRESSURE TO THE BRAKES.

THE VIN WAS NOT AVAILABLE.

I WOULD LIKE TO VOICE MY OPINION ON A SAFETY ISSUE INVOLVING THESE CARS WITH THE 2.4 LITER ENGINE. THESE CARS ARE USING OIL, WAY FASTER THAN THEY SHOULD. THE CARS STALL OUT LOSING ALL POWER AND STEERING IF THE OIL BECOMES TOO LOW. THERE ISN'T ANY INDICATOR LIGHT THAT YOU ARE LOW OR ANY SIGN UNTIL IT HAPPENS. CURRENTLY MY CAR IS USING JUST SHY OF A QUART OF OIL EVERY 1K MILES AND THIS IS ACCEPTABLE IN DODGE'S EYES. THEY ADVERTISE THESE CARS TO GO 6-8K MILES BETWEEN OIL CHANGES - NO MORE THAN 10K MILES! WELL, AT 5.5 QT CAPACITY... YOU WILL ALWAYS RUN OUT PLUS SOME BEFORE A CHANGE IS DUE! I HAVE SEEN MANY PEOPLE COMMENTING ABOUT THEIR VEHICLE STALLING OUT ON HIGHWAYS, ETC WITHOUT ANY WARNING. MAJORITY OF PEOPLE I'M SURE ARE NOT THINKING TO CHECK THEIR OIL ON THEIR NEW CAR WITH EVERY GAS FILL UP TO BE SURE THE LEVEL IS OK. THIS IS TOTALLY UNACCEPTABLE! THESE CARS USE THE 0W20 SYNTHETIC OIL AND IT AVERAGES ABOUT $9 A QT. THIS IS DOUBLING THE COST OF OIL CHANGES SINCE YOU NEED TO FILL IT UP SEVERAL TIMES IN BETWEEN. PLUS WHERE IS THIS OIL GOING? MINE HAS RECENTLY STARTED SPUTTERING AND WILL BE TAKING IT BACK TO THE SHOP .. AGAIN.. HAVE A FEELING THIS OIL IS POOLING SOMEWHERE AND NOW CAUSING A CLOG IN SOMETHING! *TR
