The brake pedal sinks in and increases the braking distance. It happened every once in a while but recently it started happening more often and has gotten worse. The brake sinks in completely now and it does not brake unless U release it and push down again.
When driving I can hear rattling going over bumps coming from the front of the car. I inspected the brake caliper and it is not tight against the brakes pads
About two to three weeks ago my breaks completely went out. I was driving and all of a sudden my foot was to the ground and my car was barely stopping. Took it to a shop and they told me my break line snapped and the fluid contaminated my breaks. Needed to replace everything on the front end (breaks, pads, break line, etc.) fast forward to about two weeks agoi'm backing out of a driveway onto a main, super busy road, I shift into drive and my car dies. I press the gas and my car won't move. I had to turn my car off and on again in the middle of traffic to get it to start up. This happened again a couple days later as I was backing out of my own driveway. Backed out perfectly fine, put it into drive and it dies. Won't move when you press on the gas. Turn the car off and then back on and it drives again. Finally, today (August 23) I backed out of my driveway and put it in drive. Nothing bad happened then, but as I was coming up to a light and slowing down to turn, my cars battery light comes on and it won't go faster when I hit the gas. I pull into the auto repair shop that was there (thankfully) stopped the car and turned it off. When I tried to start it this time, it wouldn't start. I gave the guys at the shop my keys and info and just got a call that my car had no oil and they think it shut down to a safety feature. But my car was telling me I still had a 23% oil life. There were no warnings prior to the car shutting down. I do not feel safe in this car anymore, especially since I use it to deliver in and I commute to school. I never know when the next time it's going to stall out. And I don't want to get into an accident. Especially when I'm on the clock at work.

My 2014 Dodge Dart GT has had breaking issues over the past few weeks. When stopping the break petal will go all the way to the floorboard with no pressure at all. This issue has almost caused 3 accidents and the dealership says that they can not find an issue. This vehicle has no recalls to be repaired, and is very unsafe to drive. Dealership has been notified of the issue and no attempt at repair has been made

If I brake within 5 minutes of starting my vehicle, the next time I brake all of the dashboard lights will flash on, the battery light will stay on, and the car will stall. After waiting 5 to 10 minutes the car will start again. This happens within a week of when my car needs an oil change. This happened 10/24/2017, 10/25/2017, and 5/17/2018.
When driving and applying the brakes they will sometimes go soft I will have to reapply them for the brakes to go back to normal. I know there is a recall for this problem but my car is not included. I don't think I should have to pay for a problem that Dodge knows exists. What can I do to get my car added to the recall?

Pressed break pedal to place shift vehicle into drive. While pressing pedal, I heard an audible popping noise and felt a spring like vibration through the break pedal. After the noise the car slowly started to roll forward despite break being pressed. Now when pressing the break, there is a hard pressure/resistance along with a loud hissing noise. To attempt to stop the vehicle, the break pedal has to be pressed extremely hard. The breaks are unable to stop the car in a safe distance.
First incident occurred as I was driving down the road at about 35 mph my brake light sensor turned on; without the brake being pushed or emergency brake being on. Pulled over placed the vehicle in park and shut it off. Turned the car back on and the light no longer appeared. As I was reversing out of my drive way I applied brakes, my vehicle didn't stop I pulled the emergency brake that didn't stop the vehicle either. Upon pushing the brake it seemed "seemed stuck" unable to push it down all the way. I was able to change my gear into drive and tried to push the brakes in however, my car failed to stop until I placed my car in park and applied the emergency brake.
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.
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
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.
Brakes don't seem to be working properly. I have contacted the local dealer and they stated they don't have the repair for the recall although they know it's a problem?

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.
