2014 DODGE DART Vehicle Speed Control Problems

I have an open safety recall that has no available fix. My dealership confirmed they cannot repair it and advised me it may be unsafe. Because I cannot safely operate the vehicle, I am requesting a manufacturer buyback or financial assistance toward a replacement vehicle. Please escalate this to a case manager.

VEHICLE ENGINE SHAKES FOR NO REASON, BACK CAMERA DOESN'T WORK. I WASN'T ABLE TO SHIFT MY VEHICLE UNTIL A PART WAS BOUGHT THAT WOULD ALLOW VEHICLE TO CHANGE GEAR. SUSPENSION WENT OUT ON FRONT AND BACK AROUND 50000 MILES TIL THIS DAY CAR SHAKES ON A REGULAR BASIS

VEHICLE MADE WEIRD NOISES AS SOON AS IT WAS PUT IN DRIVE SHORTLY AFTER BEING TURNED ON. WAS DRIVING ON A 45 MPH ROAD WHEN I COULD NO LONGER ACCELERATE AFTER THE FIRST GEAR WHILE TURNING INTO THE FREEWAY. WAS FORCED TO PULL OVER AND RESTART THE VEHICLE WHICH WAS ABLE TO PUT INTO FIRST GEAR AND AFTER SECOND GEAR BEGAN TO REV UP AN NO ACCELERATION HAPPENED. WAS UNABLE TO MAKE IT TO WORK AND TRIED TO TEST IT 'OUT AGAIN, BUT UNFORTUNATELY ITS STILL FAILING. MY VEHICLE IS UNDRIVABLE AND NOW NEED TO PAY OUT OF POCKET FOR REPAIRS OF A RECALL THAT IS STILL "PENDING". MINE & MY CHILDREN'S SAFETY WAS ON THE LINE. WE WERE LUCKY IT WAS NOT RUSH HOUR. I HAVE ATTACHED THE LETTER I RECEIVED FROM THE FAC US LLC STATING THIS IS A DEFECTED VEHICLE. WHICH IS A LETTER IN ACCORDANCE WITH...

ISSUE BEGAN TO OCCUR WHERE CAR WILL LOSE ACCELERATION AND MUST BE TURNED OFF IN ORDER TO WORK AGAIN. IT HAS HAPPENED ABOUT SIX TIMES NOW WHERE THE CAR MUST BE PULLED TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD (IF POSSIBLE) AND RESTARTED. DURING RESTART, THE ENGINE HESITATES/SPUTTERS FOR ABOUT 5 SECONDS BEFORE RETURNING TO SEEMINGLY NORMAL OPERATION. AT NO OTHER TIME DOES THE CAR ACT LIKE THIS. NORMALLY IT WILL HAVE NO PROBLEMS STARTING UP. JUST LAST NIGHT, I WENT TO LEAVE AND WAS UNABLE TO TAKE THE CAR OUT OF PARK. AFTER A QUICK SEARCH I FOUND THAT THE CAR MAY HAVE A LOOSE OR BAD SHIFTING CABLE. ANOTHER ISSUE THAT SEEMS TO BE REOCCURRING IN THESE CARS. MY 14 GT HAS 64K MILES AND HAS ALWAYS RECIEVED ROUTINE MAINTENANCE.

ABOUT TWO TO THREE WEEKS AGO MY BREAKS COMPLETELY WENT OUT. I WAS DRIVING AND ALL OF A SUDDEN MY FOOT WAS TO THE GROUND AND MY CAR WAS BARELY STOPPING. TOOK IT TO A SHOP AND THEY TOLD ME MY BREAK LINE SNAPPED AND THE FLUID CONTAMINATED MY BREAKS. NEEDED TO REPLACE EVERYTHING ON THE FRONT END (BREAKS, PADS, BREAK LINE, ETC.) FAST FORWARD TO ABOUT TWO WEEKS AGOI'M BACKING OUT OF A DRIVEWAY ONTO A MAIN, SUPER BUSY ROAD, I SHIFT INTO DRIVE AND MY CAR DIES. I PRESS THE GAS AND MY CAR WON'T MOVE. I HAD TO TURN MY CAR OFF AND ON AGAIN IN THE MIDDLE OF TRAFFIC TO GET IT TO START UP. THIS HAPPENED AGAIN A COUPLE DAYS LATER AS I WAS BACKING OUT OF MY OWN DRIVEWAY. BACKED OUT PERFECTLY FINE, PUT IT INTO DRIVE AND IT DIES. WON'T MOVE WHEN YOU...

ONLY HAD CAR TWO YEARS SUNDAY DASH BOARDS STARTS FLICKING ON AND OFF DISCONNECTED MY UCONNECT. ON MONDAY MY THROTTLE LIGHT AND ENGINE LINE CAME ON ON TUESDAY IT WAS OFF. NOW CAR WILL ONLY START WITH A JUMP SITTING IN CARLOT 4 DODGES BEING SERVICED FOR ELECTRIC COMPUTER PROBLEMS. NOW NONE OF MY LIGHTS ON BATTERY IS GOOD BUT CAR WON'T START. A RECALL NEEDS TO BE CHECKED ASAP.

TAKATA RECALL: I PULLED OUT OF MY WORK PARKING LOT AT 5PM AFTER IT HAD BEEN SITTING SINCE 7AM AND DROVE ABOUT 2 MINS DOWN THE RODE, CAR BATTERY LIGHT FLASHED AND THE CAR WOULD NO LONGER ACCELERATE AND STEERING WHEEL LOCKED UP. ALL LIGHTS AND RADIO, A/C CONTINUED WORKING NORMALLY. I WAS LEFT STUCK IN THE MIDDLE OF AN INTERSECTION. I TURNED THE CAR OFF AND TURNED THE KEY A COUPLE OF TIMES, AFTER ABOUT 5-6 TIMES IT FINALLY STARTED AGAIN AND DROVE AWAY NORMALLY. THIS HAS HAPPENED 6 TIMES NOW IN THE PAST 6 DAYS. MOST RECENTLY I WAS DRIVING DOWN A BUSY STREET GOING ABOUT 30 MPH IN FAR RIGHT LANE, I SAW THE BATTERY LIGHT FLASH AND I SWERVED INTO A PARKING LOT BEFORE MY STEERING WHEEL LOCKED UP. IT IS NOW TAKING 15-20 MINS TO START BACK UP, IT SEEMS TO BE GETTING WORSE. IT...

THE CAR WILL STARTLE WHEN SHIFTING GEARS UNTIL ONE DAY IT JUST STOPPED RESPONDING WHENEVER I STEPPED ON THE ACCELERATOR. IT WILL ONLY DRIVE NO MORE THAN 5 MILES AN HOUR, MAKING HORRIBLE NOISES AND SMELLING BURNT. I HAD TO STOP AND PULL TO THE SIDE AS I WAS DRIVING.IIT WAS SO SCARY BECAUSE I HAD MY DAUGHTER WITH ME AND WAS IN A HIGH TRAFFIC STREET.

"ENGINE STALLS OUT AND COMPLETELY DIES". THIS HAS HAPPENED TO ME SEVERAL TIMES ALREADY WITH MY SIX YEAR OLD IN THE CAR. I HAVEN'T TAKEN IT TO THE DEALERSHIP TWICE ALREADY AND THIS WILL BE THE THIRD FINAL ATTEMPT FOR REPAIR. I'VE BROUGHT A NEW BATTERY EVEN AFTER IT PASSED SUCCESSFUL TESTING, AND THE ALTERNATOR PASSED AS WELL. THE FIRST TIME IT STOPPED ON ME I WAS ON THE HIGHWAY (HAD THE CAR TOLL TO THE NEAREST AUTOZONE FOR A NEW BATTERY) HAD THE DEALERSHIP LOOK AT IT THEY STATED THEY COULD NOT DIAGNOSE THE PROBLEM SINCE THE VEHICLE WAS WORKING AND COULD NOT FIND ANYTHING WRONG WITH THE CAR, 2ND TIME IT STOPPED TWO DAYS LATER ON THE INTERSTATE HAD THE CAR (THIS TIME I HAD IT TOLL TO THE DEALERSHIP) AND THEY PUT IN THE WORK ORDER WHAT I STATED DID NOTHING TO THE ENGINE AND ONLY COMPLETED...

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.

I PURCHASED MY DODGE DART IN OCT 2014. ON JULY 10 2015 I GOT INTO MY CAR AND NOTICED THE SPEEDOMETER WAS NOT WORKING. I RETURNED HOME AND CALLED THE DEALER TO GET IT TO THE SHOP. MY APPOINTMENT WAS FOR JULY 15 AND I DROPPED IT OFF THE EVENING OF THE 14TH. THEY CALLED ON THE 16TH OF JULY TO SAY MY VEHICLE WAS READY AND THAT THEY REPROGRAMMED THE COMPUTER. I WAS DRIVING IT THE NEXT DAY AND THE SPEEDOMETER WAS NOT WORKING AGAIN. I CALLED THE DEALER AND MADE THEM AWARE AND TOOK THE CAR BACK TO THEM. I ALSO PROVIDED VIDEO TO THEM SHOWING THE ISSUE AT HAND. THE DEALER CALLED ON THE 24TH OF JULY TO SAY I COULD COME AND PICK UP MY CAR UNTIL THE PART CAME IN TO REPAIR MY SPEEDOMETER ON AUGUST 5TH. THEY TOLD ME THEY DO NOT FEEL A...

I BOUGHT AND RECEIVED A DODGE DART SXT RALLYE IN MAY 2014. THIS INCIDENT OCCURRED JUST LESS THAN A YEAR. I WAS DRIVING DOWN THE HIGHWAY AT AROUND 70 MPH. ALL OF A SUDDEN, I WAS NOT ABLE TO GAS THE PEDAL IN THE MIDDLE OF DRIVING. EVEN SHIFTING GEARS, I WAS NOT ABLE TO GAS. AFTER AVOIDING A COUPLE OF CARS, I WAS ABLE TO PARK MY CAR ON THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. THE CLUTCH, AS I STEP ON IT, HAD NO PRESSURE. AFTER GETTING IT TOWED AND IT MADE ITS WAY TO THE DEALERSHIP, I WAS TOLD THAT I NEEDED THE CLUTCH REPLACED AND IT WAS NOT UNDER WARRANTY.. *TR

I PURCHASED MY VEHICLE IN JUNE 2014 WITH ONLY 4 MILES ON IT. THE ONLY MINOR PROBLEM I NOTICED AFTER A FEW DAYS' USE IS THAT SOMETIMES IT IS VERY DIFFICULT TO SWITCH BETWEEN GEARS - IT'S ALMOST LIKE YOU HAVE TO JERK IT IN ORDER TO MOVE FROM ONE GEAR TO THE NEXT. I DIDN'T THINK THIS WAS A MAJOR ISSUE SO I DIDN'T THINK ANYTHING OF IT THOUGH THE PROBLEM PERSISTS FROM TIME TO TIME. THE MAJOR ISSUE IS THE FOLLOWING: AROUND MID-SEPTEMBER 2014, I WAS DRIVING TO WORK IN THE MORNING, AT APPROXIMATELY 35 MPH. AT ONE POINT, THE VEHICLE ACCELERATED ITSELF. THERE WERE NO VEHICLES IN FRONT OF ME SO NOTHING HAPPENED. I IMMEDIATELY PRESSED ON THE BRAKE PEDAL UNTIL I CAME TO A FULL STOP PULLING OVER ON THE RIGHT. I TURNED OFF THE VEHICLE AND RESTARTED IT. I DROVE TO WORK AND THE VEHICLE...
