2014 Dodge Dart purchased new. Was driving vehicle on city street and came to stop and car just stalled on me with no warning which was very scary. Vehicle would not stop stalling so took to dealership and the technician said it would cost at least a thousand to take car apart as they believe it is a internal engine problem. It sucks cause now my car is out of warranty and by doing some searching looks like this is not a new problem to Dodge but nothing was ever done about it. My car is in great condition with only 60,000 miles.
Car spontaneously stalled in highway driving. Seems to be a known issue. 2013 Darts were actually recalled over the issue. Incredibly dangerous. Dodge should be required to recall the 2014S just like they recalled the 2013S.
The contact owns a 2014 Dodge Dart. The contact stated while driving at an undisclosed speed, the vehicle unintentionally shifted into neutral. The vehicle was taken to premier Chrysler Dodge Jeep Ram of buena park (7301 artesia blvd, buena park, ca 90621), and was diagnosed that the transmission control module and mounting bracket needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The contact stated that the failure was intermittent. The VIN was not included in NHTSA campaign number 15V542000 (power train). The manufacturer was made aware of the failure and informed the contact that the recall was for vehicles in Canada, not the United States. The failure mileage was approximately 57,416.
My car has been at dewey since July 23rd for a service transmission light. When I dropped my car off, it was plugged into the computer and I was told that the code that popped up was for a recall on a transmission module and once the service tech looked at it, I would receive a call regarding any costs and time of repair. As I was leaving on vacation for the week, I was not too concerned. Saturday 7/25 - I received a call that a part was on order and the car should be ready Monday or Tuesday. Again, as I was on vacation, I said that would be just fine. I started calling and texting my service advisor, trent, Thursday (7/30) morning. I did not hear anything from him until Saturday (8/1). He stated he forgot to call me but that there was a problem with my car. He said the module was replaced and when they went to start the car, there was no power. The electrical system is fried. He said that the lead tech would look at it Monday and we would go from there. Tuesday 8/4 - I received a call from trent that the lead tech needed to reach out to Chrysler for assistance. Friday 8/7 - received a call that Chrysler was sending another module and it should be there Monday. Monday 8/8 - we had the storm and I didn't hear anything which is understandable. Thursday 8/6 - received a call that the module did not work. Chrysler decided to send a whole new transmission. It will be here Monday or Tuesday and will know more by end of the week. Monday 8/10 - email sent to GM at dewey expressing concern. Spoke with him regarding trading in car or additional warranty on my car. Told no additional warranty will be given. Transfer to sales. Thursday 8/13 - told my car would be ready early next week. Wednesday 8/17 - called service again. Were told not sure that the new transmission even arrived. Will call back. Drive through the dealership and my car is just sitting outside in the lot.

I pulled in parking lot and went to put the car in park, engine light came on, all the gear letters turned red and it didn't display, by the fuel gauge, which gear I was in like it usually does. I didn't actually know if I was in park because all lights on shifter were lit in red. When I tried to shift up to park as much as I could it made a clicking noise each time. So I turned the car off...and then back on. Happened again a week later. I took it to have computer analysis run on it. Indicated a fault in the transmission range sensor electrical circuit. Checked recall on vehicle. Shows there is a recall on transmission problems possible on Dodge Darts 2013-2015 models.
Would not start for about 10 minutes, then started and ran fine. On the way to the mechanic, transmission went into neutral on the highway. Luckily I was near an exit, I had to coast off the highway. The transmission shop and an auto electric shop told me the tcm and the valve body inside the transmission were faulty and needed replacing. The transmission shop told me they called Chrysler and were told they were aware of the problem and that it was a program issue and replacing the transmission would fix nothing. Then Chrysler told them if they figure it out, to let them know.
On three occasions, my car has completely turned off while the car was on and in drive. On one occasion, in September 2019, I drifted to safety and tried putting my car in park, the shifter effortlessly slid to park mode but the light was on "D" as if it were in drive. I could not take my key out because my car thought it was in drive so I was stuck with my foot on the break, with a car that shut down on me. I couldn't even move the key to try to take it out and restart the car. I brought my car in and "fixed it'. I was told there was a V34 recall and that they replaced the transmission side shifter cable bushing. However, less than a year later it happened again, twice today (June 2020). Once on my way too the gym and once from the gym, back home. On both occasions today, the electronics on the touch screen and the digital display that displays the speed went black and restarted then my car completely died while in drive. Cars piled up behind me. People were honking and angry. I tried moving the shifter to park so I could take my key out and restart but the car locked up on me and I was unable to move the shift or take my key out. I had to wiggle the key out for over a couple min and eventually was able to move the key in park and take it out and restarted my car. It caused a traffic dilemma and was terrifying that my car completely shut down in a not so safe area and on a really busy road during rush hour. How could you sell a car to society that will spontaneously stop? I could have died!
When turning the car off, the key fob gets stuck in the ignition. This sometimes can be resolved by turning the steering wheel, pressing on the brake and adjusting the shifter forward to click into park. It's as if the shifter is not recognizing the car is in park so it will not release the key fob. It could usually by fixed easily, now takes sometimes 1-3 minutes; which includes restarting the car and putting it in reverse or drive and back into park. It happens frequently & then will stop for a few days. I took my car to the dealership last week for this issue and the transmission slipping from drive to neutral while I'm driving and they 'couldn't duplicate the problem' as they stated. However, just the past two days it's happening again. This is similar to the issue from the 2019 recall for the bushing cables. There is an obvious issue as this is not normal. I don't know what to do to fix this if the dealership says they can't find a problem. Is there a new recall or other similar complaints" especially from other Dodge Dart owners who also had a part repaired in 2019 due to the last recall"

I was driving to work and not even a mile from my house when I was coming to a stop at a stop sign my 2014 Dodge Dart SXT stalled. When it stalled the battery light came on and I shut it off. I was able to get it to start the next try. Then 7 days later, I was driving no more than 30 seconds when I was coming to a stop at another stop sign and the car stalled again with the battery light coming on. I tried to start it again a few times but was not successful. I needed a jump. I drove it straight to a mechanic who ran a few tests on the car including checking the battery and charging system. He said everything looked good which I figured since I just changed the battery a year ago. I drove it home. 2 days later I was two blocks from my house when it stalled for a third time (mind you this has never happened before these occurrences). Again, I was coming to a stop and the car stalled, the battery light came on, and I needed to have a jump since I couldn't get it to start. After researching a bit, this seems to be a very common issue. A few people said that changing the oil or adding more did the trick so I checked my oil and it was fine plus I changed the oil 3 months ago so it isn't that. Most cases mentioned that this started to occur around the 50,000 mile mark, which is about where mine is. There really should be a recall on this car ' it's a death trap! when the car stalls the power steering goes out as well so if this happened on the highway it would be very dangerous. This issue could really hurt someone and Dodge really needs to do something about it or find a solution. I took my car to the dealership in jenkintown, pa to get looked at and was informed of a few recalls but none that had to do with my issues. The fact that this is clearly a common issue is very concerning especially since there seems to be no clear solution.
Car not running properly or even functioning due to an issue with the body control module. Running rough, screen to gps blacking out. No ability to even turn the heat off/on when malfunctioning. These are all things that occur either when idling or the car is in motion.
When putting the car in park, the car doesn't turn off. We brought it to the dealer to get a recall done, but the problem was never fixed. I think Dodge just sent the notice and lied about how to fix the problem. The dealer, suresky, wanted to charge to have the diagnostics done on the car, but since the recall was never fixed, I don't want to pay for the diagnostics. The same problem still exists.
In short I paid out of pocket and submitted work order and paid receipt three times. Repair was done in June and they said they'd get back to me in August. All I'm getting is run around, I've been more than patient.. thank you
