2014 DODGE DART Power Train Problems

WHILE DRIVING MY 2014 DODGE DART, THE CLUTCH DROPPED COMPLETELY TO THE FLOOR BOARD IN BETWEEN SHIFTING FROM SECOND TO THIRD GEAR MAKING SHIFTING IMPOSSIBLE, WHILE I WAS DRIVING UP A 2 LANE HILL IN MY NEIGHBORHOOD. THERE WAS NO SHOULDER TO PULL OVER TO AT THE MOMENT THE CLUTCH DROPPED, CAUSING ME TO HAVE TO REACH DOWN AND GRAB IT WITH MY LEFT HAND. I WAS UNABLE TO RE ENGAGE THE CLUTCH, THUS STAYED IN SECOND GEAR UNTIL I REACHED THE TOP OF THE HILL WHERE A SHOULDER BECAME AVAILABLE. I GENTLY USED THE BRAKE TO SLOW THE CAR DOWN WHILE IN THE SHOULDER UNTIL THE CARE STALLED OUT. AFTER SITTING IN THE CARE FOR SEVERAL MINUTES I TRIED TO START MY CAR BUT WAS UNABLE TO BECAUSE OF THE CLUTCH RESTING ON THE FLOOR BOARD, I WAS ABLE TO PULL IT UP WITH MY HAND AND UPON RELEASE...

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. I TOOK IT TO DODGE AND THEY SAID THEY DID NOT HAVE A CODE BUT THEY SAW AN ISSUE WITH MY ANTI-LOCK BRAKE SYSTEM. A PART TO MY TRANSMISSION WAS RECALLED, WE WAITING FOR OVER 3 MONTHS FOR THE PART AND UPON BRINGING MY CAR TO THE DEALERSHIP THEY REPORTED MY CAR NOT STARTING. ABOUT 3 WEEKS AFTER MY TRANSMISSION RECALL WAS "FIXED" MY ENGINE STARTING SMOKING UPON STARTING THE CAR AT LEAST 5 TIMES AND MY ENGINE WAS COMPLETELY REPLACED, THEY AGAIN REPORTED MY CAR WOULD NOT CRANK. 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....

AFTER DRIVING THE VEHICLE FOR MORE THAN 15 OR 20 MINUTES, WHEN ACCELERATING FROM A STOP THE VEHICLE SHIFTS ERRATICALLY CAUSING THE VEHICLE TO JOLT AND OCCASIONALLY STALL. IT FEELS AS IF THE VEHICLE IS TRYING TO DOWNSHIFT BEFORE RETURNING TO THE APPROPRIATE GEAR. PROCEEDING FORWARD OR TURNING MAKES NO DIFFERENCE. I CONTACTED THE DEALER ABOUT THIS OVER A YEAR AGO AND WAS TOLD THE OIL NEEDED TO BE CHANGED. I CONTACTED THE DEALER AGAIN THIS WEEK AFTER SEEING THAT THE VEHICLE WAS POTENTIALLY PART OF A NATIONAL RECALL BUT WAS TOLD I COULD BRING THE VEHICLE IN TO SERVICE BUT IT WAS NOT PART OF THE RECALL (THE MAKE, MODEL AND DATE OF MANUFACTURE MATCH THE RECALL DATA BUT SINCE THE VIN ISN'T SPECIFICALLY LISTED AS BEING RECALLED ON THE SAFECAR.GOV WEB SITE IT WAS NOT COVERED). THIS HAS BEEN OCCURRING SINCE APPROXIMATELY 6 MONTHS AFTER PURCHASING THE VEHICLE...

DRIVER'S SIDE REAR WHEEL BEARING SHOT AFTER 39,000 MILES. LOUD HUMMING NOISE WHEN DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY AT FIRST. I DROVE ON IT FOR A COUPLE WEEKS AND THE NOISE GOT LOUDER. I JACKED THE CAR UP ONE DAY AND THE WHEEL WIGGLED A PRETTY SIGNIFICANT AMOUNT. REPLACED BOTH REAR BEARINGS IN MY DRIVEWAY AFTER CALLING THE DEALERSHIP AND HAVING THEM TELL ME THE PARTS WERE NOT GOING TO BE COVERED UNDER WARRANTY.

THE VEHICLE HAS A MANUAL TRANSMISSION. MY VEHICLE REVS WHEN ATTEMPTING TO SHIFT IT. THE CLUTCH WILL BE COMPLETELY UP AND THE VEHICLE WILL STILL REV AS IF IT IS ENGAGED. AT THIS POINT THERE IS NOTHING THAT CAN BE DONE UNTIL IT STOPS REVVING. IT ALSO GRINDS AND CLATTERS WHEN SHIFTING FROM 1ST TO 2ND AND 2ND TO 3RD GEAR. VERY ROUGH SHIFTING AND SOMETIMES EXPERIENCE A BURNING SMELL AFTER ITS DRIVEN.

WHILE DRIVING CLUTCH WILL LOSE COMPRESSION MAKING IT DIFFICULT TO SHIFT WITHOUT GRINDING GEARS. CLUTCH WILL GO ALL THE WAY TO THE FLOOR AND INHIBITED YOU FROM SHIFTING. I HAVE HAD TO SHIFT INTO NEUTRAL TO SLOW DOWN HOPING THE CLUTCH REGAINS COMPRESSION IN ORDER TO SHIFT INTO APPROPRIATE GEAR. THIS ALSO INHIBITS PROPER ACCELERATION WHEN SHIFTING GEARS.

PURCHASED A 2014 DODGE DART USED WITH A 6 SPEED. THIS INCIDENT HAPPENED JUST THREE WEEKS AFTER I PURCHASED IT. I NOTICED IT STARTED TO SLIP AND WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE HIGHWAY I HEARD A NOISE, CAR LOST POWER AND SMOKE STARTED POURING OUT FROM UNDER THE HOOD. I HAD IT TOWED TO THE DEALERSHIP WHERE I WAS INFORMED THAT SOMETHING FAILED IN THE CLUTCH, BLOWING A HOLE THROUGH THE TRANSMISSION. THIS ALL HAPPENED WITHIN A MINUTE OR SO WHILE DRIVING AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS. *TR

THE CLUTCH PEDAL WOULD STICK TO THE FLOOR IN COLD WEATHER. WOULD EASILY STALL BECAUSE OF POOR ENGAGEMENT. SOMETIMES THE CAR WOULD BUCK OR STUTTER BECAUSE THE CLUTCH WOULD NOT BE ABLE TO EFFECTIVELY ENGAGE. SOMETIMES THE VEHICLE WOULD STALL ON ENGAGEMENT AND HAVE TO SIT FOR SEVERAL MINUTES BEFORE THE ENGINE WOULD START. AFTER AN ATTEMPTED REPAIR TO THE CLUTCH HYDRAULICS BY CORWIN THE CLUTCH STILL HAS SLOP IN IT AND POOR WORKSMANSHIP WAS FOUND AT ANOTHER DEALER. THE TRANSMISSION IS NOW NOISY AND MAKES LOUD CLUNKING OR WHINING NOISES WHEN THE CLUTCH IS ENGAGED OR DISENGAGED. THE CLUTCH WILL STILL PARTIALLY STICK TO THE FLOOR IN SEVERE COLD AND IS NOT SAFE TO DRIVE. *TR

WENT TO SHIFT FROM PARK INTO REVERSE AND IT DIDN'T SHIFT. DASH SAID R. TAPPED THE GAS AND STILL IT DIDN'T GO. TRIED 4 TIMES FROM PARK TO REVERSE BEFORE AUTO TRANSMISSION CAUGHT WITH A BANG. FIRST TIME IT HAPPENED AROUND 16K+ MILES IT'S HAPPEN TWO MORNINGS NOW. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 DODGE DART. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 10 MPH, THE CLUTCH BECAME STUCK IN THE DOWNWARD POSITION AND THE GEAR SHIFTER WAS STUCK IN FIRST GEAR. THE CONTACT HAD TO DEPRESS THE CLUTCH COMPLETELY DOWN TO THE FLOORBOARD TO LOOSEN THE CLUTCH, FOLLOWED BY AGGRESSIVELY PULLING THE GEAR SHIFTER TO GET IT OUT OF FIRST POSITION.
