I purchased my vehicle in July of 2014. In March of 2017, I was driving home from a trip out of town, when the vehicle lost the means to accelerate. The car would only rev, and not engage in any gear. I coasted into a gas station, where I had to wait for a tow truck to Transport the car to the dealer. I was informed that the clutch master cylinder, reservoir, and clutch kit all had to be replaced, to the tune of > $2000. I escalated to fca under the X62 tsb, and my repairs, and a rental were provided. Now yesterday, 9/9/19 at 9:00am, my clutch is coming disengaged while accelerating, in all 6 gears, 15-65 mph and I drove it straight to the dealer. I was informed that the warranty period on the previous repair expired 4 months ago. I was also informed that the parts which failed previously were replaced with original parts, which would lead to additional failure. In doing my own research, the 2014 Dodge Dart manual transmissions are equipped with a clutch delay valve. The intention of the cdv is to help inexperienced drivers, but in reality is makes launching jerky, quick shifting difficult, and premature clutch wear a real possibility.
My vehicle has a manual transmission, a couple of weeks ago without any warning while I was driving on the highway doing about 60-65 miles per hour, my clutch dropped to the floor and I started smelling my clutch burning. I did not have my foot on the clutch because I was already in sixth gear on the highway. My engine started bogging down and luckily I was near an off ramp and was able to safely get off the highway. I wasn't able to shift into any gear, my engine wouldn't even stay on it kept stalling. Its been almost three weeks now and no one is giving my any answers as to what is going on, all I am being told is that the failure was due to my driving. My car has a little over 43,000 miles, nothing more and my clutch is now in pieces. Some of my clutch is permanently on my flywheel now. I have been driving a manual transmission for over nine years and had driven several vehicles and have never burnt out my clutch. My warranty through car max will not cover it, no one wants to even look at my issue because all they hear is clutch failure and its automatically my fault.

It started back in April. My car wouldn't go into reverse. It started flashing the R on the dash then next to the gear shift. I took it into the shop. It then started not going into reverse or drive. Not only would the lights flash at me but it would say place vehicle into neutral then drive or reverse. It ended up towed once because T wouldn't go anywhere. The service engine light popped up. It said all my gears were not found. It has been in and out of the shop 7 times for this same reason. It won't reverse and/or won't go into drive. The gear shift also popped into park going down the interstate. Most recently I had a collision where it was suppose to be in reverse and ended up going forward and hitting a parked vehicle. My vehicle is still not fixed and I owe money on it. My brakes haven't been working correctly and I know they are still good because my mechanic dad and boyfriend have checked them. The cruise will go off randomly and the touch screen goes white, black and back on. There is an open recall with no remedy. I do not feel like this is the cause. Also, I am having problems getting the ignition to release my key. Dodge hired an investigator. It took my car being hit before they decided to take action. I feel like I'm driving a death trap that I can't get out of and usually have one to 3 kids in my car. I'd rather not have a serious accident because this car is a piece of (xxx).
I pulled up into my driveway, I started to put my car in park, and it would not go in to park. It felt like the entire shifter was broken or loose, as it would freely move up and down without actively putting the car in park, neutral, reverse or drive. I could not pull my key out, I had no other option, but to pull the emergency brake, and unplug my battery. I finally figured out how to pull the key out of the fob, so that I didn't have to leave my keys in the car. This was in mid to late April. I went online to see if I could troubleshoot and found out that there was a recall on the shifter cable bushing, which is exactly what was missing from my car. I observed the shifter cable was no longer attached, and that is why the vehicle could not be shifted into any gears. It is now July 18th, and I still have not been able to use my vehicle. No one can fix it, due to the part not being available. The manufacturer recall number is V34, and the NHTSA recall number is 19V-293. The recall started April 11th 2019 and I have yet to see anything from Dodge. I have been put on a list to be made aware when a part is available, but now I am getting upset because I can no longer sustain not having a working car, especially one that I pay for every month.

I have been having difficulty shifting gears after the car has warmed up. This has been going on for about 2 months now.it has gotten so bad this past week that it almost left me stranded 40 miles from home when I had stopped for fuel. I had put it in neutral with the emergency break on, and it just would not go into any gear when I tried to leave.after cooling for about 20 minutes, I finally managed to catch a gear and go. Sometimes, it will slip out of first or second gear into neutral, while in motion. This morning my husband attempted to move it into the garage due to a storm approaching and he could not get it into any gear and the clutch stuck to the floor. We have not driven it since yesterday, so it wasn't even warm. My husband and I pushed it into the garage.
Care starts overheating while the coolant is full and all other components are working. I have taken my vehicle to be repaired multiple times for the overheating and there is no sign of damage to be repaired. Also occasionally the oil seems to disappear from the engine with no leak or visible damage.. car will occasionally stall out as well while I am driving. The car is in the shop and no one can tell me what is wrong with it. I have been driving 3 times and the car will turn off which is dangerous. The drive is extremely rough and is very uncomfortable it bangs really loud with any small bump. Car has a bunch of flaws and I have had it less than 2 years.
The contact owns a 2014 Dodge Dart. While attempting to park the vehicle, it failed to shift into park. The contact called clay cooley Chrysler Dodge (1261 E airport fwy, irving, tx 75062) and was advised to tow the vehicle to their facility. The vehicle was towed to the contact's residence. Two days later, the vehicle was towed to the dealer where it was diagnosed that the shifter fractured and needed replacement. The contact also received a recall notice for NHTSA campaign number: 19V293000 (power train), but parts were not available to perform the recall repair. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The vehicle was not repaired. The approximate failure mileage was 86,000. VIN tool confirms parts not available.
When I put my car in park and turn the key left to turn off car, it won't let me. So I have to restart my car move the gears from park to another and then back to park, wait for the click noise and then turn my car off.
2014 Dodge Dart recall unable to shift gears. Chrysler advised that the remedy date is 8/8/2019. Too long to be without a car. They state they will reimburse rental but not pay upfront for one. This is too long to be without my only vehicle.
On April 17, 2019, when arriving at destination, I attempted to shift gears into park. However, gears shifted into reverse permanently. I called my siblings to assist with getting the car out of reverse, the handle would move but the gears would not change. The only way we could get the car to stop was with the emergency break. We turned off the ignition, but all lights stayed on and we could not remove the key from the ignition. The only way to get the key out was to unhook the battery. I contacted the manufacturer the following day on April 18th, and they advised of a recall for shift cable bushing. I asked how long the process would take, they stated they would mail a letter to advise how to set up appointment, they would have to order parts. I called back on April 25th to inquire once again about how long the process usually takes, and they did not advise of a time frame. I advised the representative that my car cannot be driven at all, and asked if I were to get a rental car or get my car fixed myself would I be reimbursed. The representative advised that there is no guarantee. I've contacted the manufacturer once again on May 8, 2019. Representative advised that the part has still not been ordered and there is no estimated time.
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.
"the basic of the issue are shifting roughly, over-revving before shifting, failing to shift, making a grinding noise on take off, running rough, exhibiting a burning smell, smoking and overheating." Dash light comes on randomly when in traffic on my commute home from work "transmission getting hot press brake" and the car will start to smoke.
