The last 2 weeks my 2014 Dodge Dart would stall in the morning. Doesn't matter when and where. It just loses all power. It wont start for several minutes. At one point at 5:30 am the car stalled on a one way street in a canyon, with backed up traffic. Today I got out of the work around 2:30 pm and while going home in busy traffic, it stalled in and was almost hit by a car behind me. I have read several complaints about the same thing and can't believe that nothing has been recalled.
Started having issues when I started leasing it in 2014.it has been taken into the dealership at least 7 times now, due to stalling out. Everytime I take it in, its because of the same issue.it stalls out at all times, whether it be pulling out of my driveway in the morning, turning slowly around the corner, driving on a local side street going 30 mph, when I started to brake before a speed bump, going 60 mph on the highway, I can keep going. Each time I have been given the run around, problem can't be duplicated, so lets guess. PCM replaced a couple times as well as the flash updates performed, PCV valve replaced multiple times and it still stalls out. Have even had to pay for a battery because they stated that was the issue before and it wasn't so I had to pay for a battery when I could have used that money for something else as I am in a tight budget as it is. As of today, the vehicle was taken to the dealership, again, (I have been to two different dealerships as well) as of today, my PCV and map sensor replaced, again. I was told from an individual from corporate that he told the dealership he wanted them to keep the vehicle to try to replicate the issue. Apparently that was not done which I will certainly be addressing with him and request be done.since the first time I brought it in, which was within the first few months of having it, there always seemed to be an issue with it being "low on oil",every single time. I think that should have raised a red flag the 3rd or 4th time I brought it in. They are playing a guessing game, not being loyal and fair.this is a huge safety concern and it needs to be taken off the market, completely. I think they are just doing anything to buy time because my lease is almost up, not fair. I already have legal counsel standing by. When someone gets killed, then they will worry about our safety.how many complaints will it take.
Silver billet paint has black specs in it two dealerships says bad factory paint job. Back up camera becomes fuzzy or just goes out. Seats on my GT fade.
Vehicle was purchased used November 2016. Vehicle has around 37000 miles. While driving the vehicle it will randomly have complete loss of power and the battery light would turn on. Also, when I would try to start the vehicle after it shut off it would take a few attempts to start the vehicle again. In the past week it had happened 4 times. I have noticed it happens within 10 minutes of turning on the car and it has been sitting for 6+ hours. In one incident I was turning onto a major road and it shut off while cars were coming. This is an extreme hazard toward my safety and others.

Had to replace the turbo hose assembly from pulling in oil and cracked since the oil was hot.

Bought a 2014 Dodge Dart 2 years. Had no problems with it till recently when car started to shut off while running in motion. I lost power steering control and power to the whole car. Incident happened on four different occasion. Three times on residential road and once on freeway. Completely a safety issue and has put my life in danger multiple times. Electronic throttle control, electronic stability control light, and check engine light turned on. Contacted Chrysler Dodge and their solution was to have me tow car to dealership and pay to have car serviced even though car is still under warranty. Car has put my life and the life of other people in danger multiple times and the company seems to not care even after contacting them formally with complaint.
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.

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.

Rental car Dodge Dart, rented on 11/23. Not sure what model year it was. The ignition switch shut off twice over four hours of driving it. Once as I was parking in a parking spot and once while I was on the highway traveling at 70mph. When I got home, I tried to see what caused it to shut off and noticed that my knee was touching the extra key on the key ring, which put a slight bit of pressure on the key in the ignition switch, causing the ignition to turn off quite easily. Luckily I was able to get the car restarted while driving, and that the highway was not curved. Otherwise, the outcome could have been much worse. Here is a video I recorded where I reproduced the conditions: Https://www.youtube.com/watch?V=1L6pczhwrrg

In November 2014 I noticed that my air conditioner/heater blower fan would intermittently fail. It caused significant safety concerns when I could not defrost my window, particularly when actively driving the vehicle. Every dealership I took it to (four of them, multiple times at each dealership) was unable to verify whether or not other complaints had been filed, thus the difficulty which ensued. After nine months of continuous problems, the dealership finally replaced my air conditioner blower fan, which I had suspected to be the problem from the beginning. Despite my inference, the dealership insisted on replacing the entire center stack in my vehicle first, which failed to resolve the problem. It took months to convince them to just replace the blower fan. Two weeks ago my vehicle was finally repaired when the dealership replaced the blower fan.

One hour after I accepted this auto with 7 miles on it, this happened---- while driving, the display screen went black for a few minutes. It happened on a regular basis. I kept taking the car back to the dealership until finally, they saw it while it had blacked out. They replaced the radio display. It still keeps happening every few months, but they never see it..one year later, after many visits, they plan to replace it again. Also, when I touch the key to the ignition it often buzzes like an electrical short, but it will start.,they cannot duplicate this or find the problem. Im sorry I got stuck with this car. The problems are not solved.
Went to start Dart in the morning and the instrument panel would not light up, could not see any dashboard details such as speed, mileage etc. Tried to restart car to see if the instrument panel would appear, however it would not. Car was towed into dealership and diagnosed as being a faulty instrument cluster module. The dealership provided a rental car for 21 days because the part was on back order, Chrysler also became engaged due to the car being less than a year old and having roughly 7800 miles on it. They provided charge number for rental car.
