2014 Dodge Dart Electrical System Problems

Vehicle is consuming oil, stalling, milage blinking, radio goes out, key switch will not turn to off, not going into park, oil pan bolts backing off, brakes shimmy over 55, list goes on, still no fix for the recall

Radio doesn't always turn on, the vehicle doesn't always go into park, the key switch doesn't always go into the lock position and stays in ACC mode.

I have an open safety recall that has no available fix. My dealership confirmed they cannot repair it and advised me it may be unsafe. Because I cannot safely operate the vehicle, I am requesting a manufacturer buyback or financial assistance toward a replacement vehicle. Please escalate this to a case manager.

Bcm module is faulty.

I have a few problems to be addressed because this car have a real safety issue. One issue been happening was car sometimes doesn’t start. This problem maybe stalling starting may delay in cases of personally emergency’s. Second, I got a recall letter having emissions issues? During this recall letter I receive my inspection sticker was due, then I got a rejected sticker because it did failed emissions as noticed. I tried getting issue resolve at few of the dodge dealers nearby 3 places that’s the closest which were like almost an hour away, but there were a backlog of part not available? Since those two issues I had and having time to try getting these recalls and issue resolved, dealer said not much of an issue and couldn’t find much issues? Told the dealer I had recall and starter issues also with no check engine light on. The dealer did a diagnose on the car but couldn’t find actual problem but wanted to charge me on so much other things like spark plugs change before they can find the actual issue. I paid for the diagnose about 200+ out of pocket. Came to find out they diagnosed but now check engine light is ON now and I looked under hood myself found they didn’t reconnect the engine coil to spark plug, maybe check and forget to reconnect? I reconnected myself and then no check engine lights. I had to check myself why can’t I start and then check fuse box under hood, found relay was damaged, shorted out reason why car had issues starting. This is after I changed the battery which was problem wasn’t the reason couldn’t start. I did my research on this deeply cause now I have a much bigger issue, which I was losing my brake lines. I almost got into an accident but luckily still have E-brakes. I believe it’s the brake line front driver started leaking now. On top of brake issue, no brake lights came on still.I checked for any recalls or any updates and found there were the same or typical issues? I did checked my car Vin # and it said “0 unrepaired on my vehicle”?

When I try to change the gear it says gear is not available and it blinks it says transmission service

In 2019 dodge had a shift cable bushing recall. I had it fixed in 2021 after owning the car for a few months (recall V34) . At this time, 2 years later, I’m experiencing the same problems that would be present with a faulty shift cable bushing which is a major safety concern. My car says it’s not in park when the shifter is indeed in park.

Actuator in the engine making the valve stuck and not drivable, causes shaking, very poor acceleration, won’t shift, this started last summer, engine light bringing up actuator code

When I put my vehicle in park, the system doesn’t register that it’s in park and I cannot take out the key. It will show on the gear shift and the dash that my vehicle is in park but internally it doesn’t register.

When placed into park the car does not register it's in park and therefore does not want to shut off. It can take up to 15 minutes to get it off. Seems dangerous since it keeps running and it starts to rev the engine.

Car engine is shutting off mid drive it car is not warmed up. And the parking mechanism is not going through when I try to park the car

The gear selected is saying that the car is park but it will not shut off . Had to move the shifter back and forward serval times before it stayed in park had this problem awhile don't think it was ever recalled. Thanks for your support in this matter

I WAS DRIVING DOWN THE HIGHWAY WHEN THE VEHICLE WAS IDLING AT A STOP LIGHT BEHIND SEVERAL OTHER VEHICLES. I WAS FEELING HOT SO I TURNED OFF THE HEATER AND DIRECTLY AFTER SMOKE FLOODED THE CABIN. WHEN THE LIGHT TURNED GREEN, I PROCEEDED FORWARD AS FAST AS POSSIBLE TO THE PARKING LOT AND THE VEHICLE CAUGHT FIRE FROM THE PASSENGER SIDE WHERE THE COOLING SYSTEM RESERVOIR WAS NEAR THE UPPER TOP CORNER OF THE PASSENGER SIDE OF THE VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE WAS OFF AND IT SOUNDED LIKE THE FANS/ENGINE WAS STILL RUNNING DESPITE THE KEY BEING REMOVED.

ON NUMEROUS OCCASIONS I HAVE GOTTEN INTO MY VEHICLE, STARTED IT AND DROVE OFF. NOW, IF I DO NOT LET IT WARM UP FOR A FEW MINUTES AND GET IN AND START IT AND TAKE OFF, IT WILL STALL OUT WHEN I SLOW DOWN OR COME TO A STOP ON A FEW OCCASIONS THIS HAS HAPPENED LEAVING MY DRIVEWAY ON A BLIND HILL, ALMOST GETTING ME HIT IN THE DRIVERS DOOR. YESTERDAY, 2/12/2020, THIS AGAIN HAPPENED AND IT STALLED OUT ON ME TWO TIMES, ONCE WHILE TURNING AROUND LEAVING ME SIDEWAYS ACROSS THE ROAD. IT HAS HAPPENED AT VERY BUSY INTERSECTIONS, IT IS JUST RANDOM.I FEEL IT NEEDS TO BE LOOKED INTO. I DID LOOK IT UP AND SEE NUMEROUS PEOPLE ARE REPORTING THE SAME ISSUES. LAST TIME THIS HAPPENED WAS ON 2/12/2020 WHILE LEAVING MY DRIVEWAY EACH TIME, THE CAR WAS IN DRIVE WHEN IT STALLED AND PULLING OUT OF MY DRIVEWAY OR INTERSECTION.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 DODGE DART. WHILE DRIVING 30 MPH, THE VEHICLE BEGAN TO LOSE POWER. THE CONTACT DEPRESSED THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL, BUT THE VEHICLE FAILED TO ACCELERATE. THE CONTACT PULLED THE VEHICLE OVER AND NOTICED THAT THE BATTERY WARNING INDICATOR WAS ILLUMINATED. THE CONTACT WAS ABLE TO START THE IGNITION AND HEARD AN ABNORMAL NOISE. THE CONTACT WAS ABLE TO DRIVE HOME. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC, BUT THEY WERE UNABLE TO DUPLICATE THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE DEALER AND MANUFACTURER WERE NOT NOTIFIED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 50,405.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 DODGE DART. WHILE DRIVING VARIOUS SPEEDS, THE VEHICLE SHUT OFF WITHOUT WARNING. AFTERWARDS, THE VEHICLE WOULD SOMETIMES RESTART AND OTHER TIMES IT WOULD TAKE MULTIPLE ATTEMPTS TO RESTART. THE CONTACT TOOK THE VEHICLE TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC, BUT THEY WERE UNABLE TO DIAGNOSE THE VEHICLE. THE MANUFACTURER AND DEALER WERE NOT NOTIFIED. THE VEHICLE HAD NOT BEEN REPAIRED.

MY GRAND MOTHER WAS DRIVING HER 2014 DODGE DART AND HER ELECTRONIC DASH CLUSTER QUIT WORKING WHILE SHE WAS DRIVING. THE DASH CLUSTER IN HER CAR IS THE SPEEDOMETER AND ALL NECESSARY GAUGES AND DISPLAYS. WHEN WE TOOK THE CAR TO THE DEALER THE DEALER SAID THAT IT WAS A KNOWN ISSUE BUT THEY SAID THAT THERE WAS NOTHING THEY COULD DO. I THINK THIS IS SIMILAR TO THE RECENT RECALL ON THE NEW DODGE'S THAT HAD A RECALL ON THE DASH CLUSTERS ALSO. THE DEALER ALSO SAID THAT THE DASH CLUSTERS WERE ON BACKORDER BECAUSE THEY ARE REPLACING THAT MANY OF THEM. MY GRANDMA WAS DRIVING IN TOWN LESS THAN 35 MPH ZONE. SHE SAID THAT THE DISPLAY WAS THERE THEN GONE. SHE WAS NOT SURE WHAT HAPPENED. SHE WAS NOT SURE WHAT WAS WORKING OR NOT WORKING ON HER CAR SHE MADE IT HOME AND PARKED THE CAR.

I WAS DRIVING MY CAR IN TOWN AND ALL OF A SUDDEN THE DASH CLUSTER QUIT WORKING. I WAS DRIVING ABOUT 30 MPH ON A SMALL TOWN CITY STREET. WHEN I TOOK MY CAR TO THE DEALERSHIP FOR REPAIR THEY SAID THAT IS A VERY COMMON PROBLEM. IF IT IS A VERY COMMON PROBLEM THEY TOOK A WEEK TO GET THE PARTS BECAUSE THEY CAN'T MAKE THEM TO REPAIR THE CARS AS THE DASH CLUSTERS ARE FAILING.

MY GRANDMA WAS DRIVING HER CAR IN TOWN AND THE DASH CLUSTER QUIT WORKING. I TRIED CHECKING FUSES AND DID NOT FIND ANYTHING SIMPLE TO FIX THE DASH CLUSTER TO QUIT WORKING. SHE TOOK THE CAR TO THE LOCAL DODGE DEALER WHERE THE CAR WAS PURCHASED. WHEN THEY ASKED WHAT HAPPENED EXPLAINED THAT THE DASH CLUSTER JUST QUIT WORKING. THEY SAID THAT IS VERY COMMON ISSUE. I THINK IT IS A SAFETY ISSUES BECAUSE YOU CAN'T SEE ANYTHING NO MPH, GAUGES OF ANY SORT FUEL, TEMPERATURE. WHEN OPERATING THE CAR YOU HAVE TO GUESS WHEN THE DASH CLUSTER IS NOT WORKING.

THIS HAS NOW HAPPENED 3 TIMES AND HAS BEEN TAKEN TO A MECHANIC EVERY SINGLE TIME TO GET FIXED. EVERY SINGLE TIME I AM DRIVING, I SLOW DOWN TO TURN AROUND A CORNER, MY ENGINE COMPLETELY STOPS, VEHICLE SPEED SLOWS DOWN, EVERYTHING ELSE WORKS FINE. WILL NOT RESTART, NEEDS JUMPED EVERY SINGLE TIME. EACH TIME I'VE BEEN LEFT IN THE ROAD HOPING NOT TO GET HIT. I'VE READ MULTIPLE COMPLAINTS ABOUT THIS EVERYWHERE. IF AN ACCIDENT OR A BIGGER PROBLEM COMES OUT OF THIS, I WILL BE SUING. I'VE ALREADY SPENT HUNDREDS OF DOLLARS ON THIS PROBLEM. SOMEBODY NEEDS TO DO SOMETHING ABOUT THIS BEFORE MY BANK ACCOUNT OR MY CAR IS WRECKED.
