I purchased a 2014 Dodge Dart from this business on 08/10/2019. I drove the vehicle for only 1.5 years and then garaged it to give to my daughter later. I put only 20,000 miles on the vehicle. There were several issues during the short time that I had the vehicle. The tire pressure warning went on, and the clutch would stick to the floor. I had the pressure warning 'fixed' at Chrysler World only to have the same malfunction within a week. The clutch issue was due to a recall that I didn't qualify for as I did not purchase the vehicle new from the original dealership. I gave the vehicle to my daughter on 12/18/2023 and the clutch and transmission went out causing her to stop in the middle of the highway. I paid $105 to have the vehicle towed to my local Dodge dealership. The local dealership informed me that the clutch and transmission would need to be replaced for the amount of about $6100. Along with some other recall work on the computer and cat converter which would be free to me. I then emailed and called Chrysler World on 01/02/2024 to see if they would assist with the repair as I felt that this particular vehicle was totally flawed. The salesman advised he would call back on 01/03/24. That would work as I advised my local dealer that I would let them know within a day if they should continue and perform the maintenance. I did not hear from Chrysler World so I did ok the work which is underway. I did receive a call from Chrysler World on 01/08/24. Long after I would have had to let the local dealership know about continuing with the repairs. Chrysler World Indicated that they could not help in any way as it had been too long since the purchase.
Last Thursday, August 3rd, I reversed my car out of my garage. Upon putting it in Drive, the engine light came on as well as the PRND lights illuminated red. As I was driving, I noticed my car felt sluggish to my destination, but I did make it. When I parked, I noticed how jerky the car was when shifting from drive to park. After my appointment, the red PRND lights were gone, with the engine light still on. I had another appointment to get new tires, and the car ran fine this time, except engine light still on. Once my new tires were on, engine light also no longer lit. I took my car to get it diagnosed. It gave out 3 codes; po705-00, p1c86-92, and B1578-2B with the last code indicating problems with my antenna. I checked it, and it appears to be broken in 2 areas. The first code po705-00 indicates failure of the transmission control module; which is strange. There was a related recall in 2019, in which I did take my vehicle into a dealership, and it was supposed to have been taken care of. The code p1c86-92 has to do with the PRNDL Display Circuit Current Out Of Range. I now do not feel safe driving my car, and the dealerships can-??t get me in to look at my car, so I-??ve been calling all over the area to mechanics that specialize in transmission issues. I can-??t in until Sept 6th, and that-??s just for another diagnosis BEFORE ordering parts and giving me a quote. When I first had these issues, I began researching the codes. It seems that there are a LOT of people with Dodge Darts having these exact same issues, but no recall has been issued as of yet. Please take care of this. Mechanics and dealerships are way overbooked, some are no longer taking jobs because they-??re so backed up, and people like myself with no other vehicle will not have transportation. And I live in a rural community. Getting a recall on these transmission issues would be really helpful, as like I stated, many are having these exact problems. Thank you!
Unknown, my car since ive got it has steadily ran way too hot for my comfort zone it does not redline. But it runs sometimes past 223-225 and i feel like i have to pull over and that is not safe. I have had it checked out NUNEROUS times and have been told nothing is wrong but genuinely that does not add up to me.
When trying to park the car it doesn-??t necessarily allow you to turn the car off without moving the shifter around until the car is satisfied and allows you to finally shut down. Also the radio seems to just shut off and on once and awhile.
I had the V34 recall done on 1-2-2020 and now for the last 2 weeks 9-12 through 9-22-2022 my vehicle will not go into park properly. I am scared it will roll into a crash. I transport my grandchildren in this vehicle and I-??m scared for their safety. Does this need another recall" I-??m scared to drive this vehicle. I only have 45135 original miles on this vehicle! Is this vehicle a lemon?" I have had all recalls performed on this vehicle. Please let me know what is going to happen with this issue. Thank you in advance.

1. Unknown, but podsibly the following: shifter mechanism, transmission linkage, and/or some other mechanism 2. The key is not releasing upon parking, this happens in dangerous areas and in compromising locations that have put my life at risk. I was unable to leave my car and a man with a knife approached me while I was facing this issue. It has happened several time and has happened another time with my husband also in the car and and a mentally ill man approached us as we tried to wait for the key to release. It is inconsistent and can take 0 seconds to 1 hour to release. 3. I showed the dealership near me during my recall repairs, and it happened once with them, but I'm unsure if they documented it. 4. The mechanism(s)/part(s) involved are not known, but the recent recall repair I had done involved a transmission bushing replacement. 5. It has not been inspected by any of the types of people stated, as I'm unsure how to even begin to have this checked out without it being an undue burden. This appears to be a massive issue with these vehicles, as there are many videos and forums online discussing the issue and no one has a consistent fix. Some say it's a plastic piece that must press a button to release the key. Some say it is a transmission linkage issue. No one has a universal answer for the same issue. 6. No signals, signs, or lights have ever appeared for this issue. It began in 2017 and I have had dozens of people look at it with no permanent solution. Today was the longest though, it took a fill hour to release the key.
Dodge has an active recall (R42) that matches the situation that happened to my car. My car switched into neutral while driving multiple times, at speeds 60+ and the dodge dealer diagnosed the issue as the tcm needing replaced. This happened several times, if there were people behind me they would have ran into me as my car jolted and decreased speeds rapidly, then shut off. My exact situation matches the recall except the vin is different, but it is the same make and model. However, dodge will not do anything about it, or warn customers.
For a week now my Dart has random stopped registering it's in park when it is in park. After I shift gears, it illuminates on the dash that it's not in park and does not allow me to shut the car off for up to 5 mins
So I bought a 2014 dodgde Dart GT a month gone I noticed that the motor would move on the right. So I bought the motor mounts and replaced it 1 week after I replaced it same thing keeps happening I took off the mount and replaced it w more expensive mount anther week passed and that same mount gave out making it 2 replaced. Plus the 3 the dealership had done took it too valors dealership and they told me it was the rear mount that was bad also so I replaced all motor mounts and now same 2 mounts iv replaced are doing the same thing the first 2 I contacted the dealership and told them their must something that wearing this mounts out so quick.cause I barly drive my car and I have to get this mount replaced for the 6th time.
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.
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"
Every morning after I start my car I drive down the street and it stalls mid traffic. It does it multiple times. I have to drive around my neighborhood til vehicle stalls 4-5 times then drives ok. Safety issue. I have noticed that some of the cars have been recalled but not mine
6 speed manual clutch gave kick back behavior where the shifter jumped out of gear while driving. This happened 3 times in one day while driving. Once turning onto a busy rd at green light, after changing gears getting into highway the next, 3rd was as I was driving on side road after turning onto it a minute prior. Already up to speed. Then within a few days (4) the clutch went out completely with no usability. Now it is stuck. Large repair costs. I have been quoted up to 4,000$ for all repairs because these cars have a repeated history of this happening with no aftermarket parts that would be more solid to replace it with. Oee parts have to be defective! I financed this vehicle late August 2019 and mid December this occurred quickly and is an absolute loss at the moment.
I have been having trouble when turning off the car the key gets stuck and I can't take it out of the ignition unless I jimmy my gear shift. I noticed the 2014 is recalled and I put my VIN in and it said my car is in fact recalled. What can I do? I am going to put today's date because it happened today, but it happens pretty much every day.
