Problems with 2014 Dodge Dart POWER TRAIN

Transmission overheating

While i was driving my dart on the street, it shut off into nuetral and the gear box lit up red. i tried pressing on the gas and it was just stalling not moving at all. i had to put car in park (in the middle of an intersection)turn it off and turn it back on a few times before i could get it into drive again. the next day, the same thing happened when i started the car the whole gear box lit up and when i put it into drive it was on neutral and was stalling the car would not move!

Takata recall , when i got the car form the dealership till now i put a bit over seven thousand miles on a very new 2014 dodge dart gt besides the occasional clutch getting stuck when i engaged it forcing me to have to pick it up with my toe i had no problems with the car no stalling or rough shifts until last night when i lost all control while on the highway causing me to have to quickly swerve of the road or be hit by the vehicle behind me . engine which still run and can accelerate the car will not more in any gear 1-6 or even reverse and even though this is a constant problem on lots odd dodge darts that have been recalled they said my vin doesn't fall under there recall dates. *tr

Check engine light will flash while simultaneously the gear selections lights all glow red. stability indicator signals loss as well as extremely rough shifting. loss of reverse camera, moon roof, loss of auto windows both up and down, as well as practically all forward motion as if the transmission has suddenly stopped working. once stopped safely and vehicle has been disabled i.t will not start without a series of steps prior to ignition. 1. press accessory button. 2. place in nuetral. 3. return to park. 4. open and close driver door. 5. apply foot to the brake pedal. 6. press ignition switch to start the vehicle. these steps allow the vehicle to become operational; however the check engine light will remain on for various lengths of time. the transmission now shifts less rough than during the initial malfunction. i have experienced this malfunction both while starting my car and during operation on the open road. at which point the vehicle becomes clearly unsafe to operate, due to loss of motion. i personally do not feel safe operating this vehicle alone and especially with my family aboard. i have researched this issue hours on end and found masses falling to the same vehicle malfunction. as of yet my specific vin# has yet to be recalled regardless of the nature of the malfunctions. i charge you nhtsa to press upon chrysler for safety of not only my family but all the others out in the world at risk due to faulty engineering and equipment.

Takata recall this 2014 dodge dart aero has now had multiple problems with the clutch and axles. it is currently in the shop to have the slave cylinder for the clutch as well as the axles fixed for the second time in 2 years. they are also in the process of checking in to why the check engine light came on for the mass air flow sensor. this makes 2 times that it has gone to the shop for clutch and axle issues. they also don't know what the real problem is for the check engine light. i have asked them to buy the car back and they wont. they also stated that i may be having to pay some out of pocket to get my car fixed this time. this car is nothing but problems. like i mentioned before; twice for the clutch and axles, the engine light is on for a reason they don't know other that they think it is the mass air flow sensor, the third time i took it to dodge for an oil change they told me that no oil came out of the engine and then tried to explain to me that my engine was "known" to do that. now i have just gotten off the phone with the manufacturer customer service and they replied with they will cover all the costs except for $100. seems kind of odd to settle on that amount. plus they wont buy it back. therefore, this car is known to have clutch and engine problems and dodge expects me to drive around not having to worry about if my life is at risk. i should also mention that the tires that came on the car were faulty as well as i had to replace two of them already. the bands on the inside of the tire came loose and caused problems with the driving as well. this is junker car that i purchased new and dodge could care less that it is falling apart.

While driving my 2014 dodge dart, the clutch dropped completely to the floor board in between shifting from second to third gear making shifting impossible, while i was driving up a 2 lane hill in my neighborhood. there was no shoulder to pull over to at the moment the clutch dropped, causing me to have to reach down and grab it with my left hand. i was unable to re engage the clutch, thus stayed in second gear until i reached the top of the hill where a shoulder became available. i gently used the brake to slow the car down while in the shoulder until the care stalled out. after sitting in the care for several minutes i tried to start my car but was unable to because of the clutch resting on the floor board, i was able to pull it up with my hand and upon release it would fall back to the floor board. after several more minutes the clutch seemed to correct itself, letting me stat my car and resume my trip home, approximately 1 mile further. while continuing my trip, the clutch seemed to loose "pressure" and had to press the clutch completely to the floor board in order to shift. this is the second time this issue has com up, the first time being repaired in july 2015.

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.

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.

Driver's side rear wheel bearing shot after 39,000 miles. loud humming noise when driving on the highway at first. i drove on it for a couple weeks and the noise got louder. i jacked the car up one day and the wheel wiggled a pretty significant amount. replaced both rear bearings in my driveway after calling the dealership and having them tell me the parts were not going to be covered under warranty.

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

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

Tl* the contact owns a 2014 dodge dart. the contact received notification of nhtsa campaign number: 15v542000 (power train) however, the part needed to perform the repair was unavailable. 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. the vin was unavailable.

I bought this car brand from the dealer. it has stalled on me and on occasions, it does nothing when i turn the key to start. total electrical defect. sent lemon law form and only got a new battery from chrysler. the car still doesn't idle or run right. in the stalling scenario, the car was in motion. in the no start it was in park. i now have 117,000 miles on the car and feel defenseless to get a resolution. on occasions, the charging system light will come on as i turn the key off.

Purchased a 2014 dodge dart used with a 6 speed. this incident happened just three weeks after i purchased it. i noticed it started to slip and while driving down the highway i heard a noise, car lost power and smoke started pouring out from under the hood. i had it towed to the dealership where i was informed that something failed in the clutch, blowing a hole through the transmission. this all happened within a minute or so while driving at highway speeds. *tr

After driving the vehicle for more than 15 or 20 minutes, when accelerating from a stop the vehicle shifts erratically causing the vehicle to jolt and occasionally stall. it feels as if the vehicle is trying to downshift before returning to the appropriate gear. proceeding forward or turning makes no difference. i contacted the dealer about this over a year ago and was told the oil needed to be changed. i contacted the dealer again this week after seeing that the vehicle was potentially part of a national recall but was told i could bring the vehicle in to service but it was not part of the recall (the make, model and date of manufacture match the recall data but since the vin isn't specifically listed as being recalled on the safecar.gov web site it was not covered). this has been occurring since approximately 6 months after purchasing the vehicle and continues until this day.

Went to shift from park into reverse and it didn't shift. dash said r. tapped the gas and still it didn't go. tried 4 times from park to reverse before auto transmission caught with a bang. first time it happened around 16k+ miles it's happen two mornings now. *tr

The vehicle has a manual transmission. my vehicle revs when attempting to shift it. the clutch will be completely up and the vehicle will still rev as if it is engaged. at this point there is nothing that can be done until it stops revving. it also grinds and clatters when shifting from 1st to 2nd and 2nd to 3rd gear. very rough shifting and sometimes experience a burning smell after its driven.

Tl* the contact owns a 2014 dodge dart. while driving approximately 10 mph, the clutch became stuck in the downward position and the gear shifter was stuck in first gear. the contact had to depress the clutch completely down to the floorboard to loosen the clutch, followed by aggressively pulling the gear shifter to get it out of first position. the vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. the manufacturer was not notified. the vin was unavailable. the approximate failure mileage was 33,000.

I take mi car to the dealer wen i first buy new more than 15 times and they found nothing and this car it's continue with problems in normal daily drive. idle problems in the engine suspension noise transmission shifting not normal in drive position tires wear to fast exhaust smell fuel to strong in engine cool temp all this happen in stationary and driving in motion and normal drive is happen all the time

The clutch pedal would stick to the floor in cold weather. would easily stall because of poor engagement. sometimes the car would buck or stutter because the clutch would not be able to effectively engage. sometimes the vehicle would stall on engagement and have to sit for several minutes before the engine would start. after an attempted repair to the clutch hydraulics by corwin the clutch still has slop in it and poor worksmanship was found at another dealer. the transmission is now noisy and makes loud clunking or whining noises when the clutch is engaged or disengaged. the clutch will still partially stick to the floor in severe cold and is not safe to drive. *tr

While driving clutch will lose compression making it difficult to shift without grinding gears. clutch will go all the way to the floor and inhibited you from shifting. i have had to shift into neutral to slow down hoping the clutch regains compression in order to shift into appropriate gear. this also inhibits proper acceleration when shifting gears.
