2014 DODGE DART Service Brakes Problems

No any lock brakes, a b s lights on brake lights on traction control lights on and no cruise control

After parking, I try to put the car into park and it will not go all the way to park. The key fob will not come out of the ignition, so the battery is still being used with the dashboard lights on. No alert or alarm lights show an issue. This has occurred MANY times. Finally, after waiting from 5-45 minutes, you can hear a click in the front area (gear area) and then I can turn the switch completely to off and remove the Key fob. I went to a repair shop and they scanned for problems/codes on the reader. But nothing shows up. Thinking it may be the fob itself, I had the locksmith come and replace the fob and program it. It still continues to be an issue. Not every time I drive, but enough that it has been a safety concern as well if I’m away from home. There have also been many times that after cranking the car, disengaging the emergency brake and then placing it in reverse, the car tries to go into reverse direction like the gas pedal is being pressed and if my foot isn’t on the brake, it will quickly back up without even touching the gas pedal.?? But I do have my foot applied to the brake pedal. I’m unsure if this is related to the recall for the brake cable thing that’s in effect now (without a remedy and awaiting notification from Dodge for repair). I do however feel that it is a safety issue. As it is an ongoing problem.

Vehicle is consuming oil, stalling, milage blinking, radio goes out, key switch will not turn to off, not going into park, oil pan bolts backing off, brakes shimmy over 55, list goes on, still no fix for the recall

I have a few problems to be addressed because this car have a real safety issue. One issue been happening was car sometimes doesn’t start. This problem maybe stalling starting may delay in cases of personally emergency’s. Second, I got a recall letter having emissions issues? During this recall letter I receive my inspection sticker was due, then I got a rejected sticker because it did failed emissions as noticed. I tried getting issue resolve at few of the dodge dealers nearby 3 places that’s the closest which were like almost an hour away, but there were a backlog of part not available? Since those two issues I had and having time to try getting these recalls and issue resolved, dealer said not much of an issue and couldn’t find much issues? Told the dealer I had recall and starter issues also with no check engine light on. The dealer did a diagnose on the car but couldn’t find actual problem but wanted to charge me on so much other things like spark plugs change before they can find the actual issue. I paid for the diagnose about 200+ out of pocket. Came to find out they diagnosed but now check engine light is ON now and I looked under hood myself found they didn’t reconnect the engine coil to spark plug, maybe check and forget to reconnect? I reconnected myself and then no check engine lights. I had to check myself why can’t I start and then check fuse box under hood, found relay was damaged, shorted out reason why car had issues starting. This is after I changed the battery which was problem wasn’t the reason couldn’t start. I did my research on this deeply cause now I have a much bigger issue, which I was losing my brake lines. I almost got into an accident but luckily still have E-brakes. I believe it’s the brake line front driver started leaking now. On top of brake issue, no brake lights came on still.I checked for any recalls or any updates and found there were the same or typical issues? I did checked my car Vin # and it said “0 unrepaired on my vehicle”?

i have taken this car 5 times in the last 6 momths for recalls and the car is still not 100% it keeps telling me that brake safety system needs to be fix, dealer can not help with this matter. the mechanic told me that thise cars were defected and more than likely it will never get fix to 100% again. i need help with this matter as my som almost killed himself driving it like that.

While driving to town, going approximately 35-40 mph, I went to slow down and pressed the brakes and the brake pedal went to the floor. To stop, I had to engage the Emergency Brake. I was almost hit by another vehicle and had to jump the curb to avoid collision and potential injury to myself and my family. This incident was very traumatic and potentially fatal to me and my family. I started checking on the recalls, and investigations, complaints for my 2014 Dodge Dart SD. I found other people had made complaints to you for the same issue. Total brake failure. At this time I have not had my car towed to the dealership for inspection and repairs. But I will update you on the details and provide you with the inspection report from the dealership as soon as they complete the inspection. There were no signs that the brakes were not working properly, no lights, no alarms , nothing. Only a pedal that went completely to the floor of my vehicle, causing immediate panic and confusion as to what was happening. It took a moment to realize that the brakes were on the floor and not engaging while oncoming traffic through the traffic light barely missed me. The parking lot that I was attempting to turn into luckily had no one pulling out or there would most certainly have been a collision between two or more vehicles. I used the emergency brake to get the vehicle stopped so that I didn’t crash into the storefront. Myself and my son were traumatized when we realized that how lucky we were to have avoided a potential life altering injury or death for ourselves or others.

Car was towed into Dave's Corner Auto Care [XXX] . Customer complaint, had lost brake s ,pedel went all the way down to the floor. We found both front brake hose appeared to have ruptured with a parel split in both hoses close to the crimp of the hoses at the holder bracket area .144,751 miles INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)

There is oil coming from the brake booster vacuum pump into the brake booster. Caused the brake booster to fail. The recall stops in January but I think it should be extended

Parking Brake does not release caliper. Fault is in the caliper. The arm that the parking brake cable pulls does not return to the free position. I have replace 3 calipers on each side of the vehicle for the same issue. My wife had a 2015 Dodge Dart GT, I replaced 2 on hers before we sold it.

I was driving down a very steep hill when I lost all brakes in my vehicle. I took it to the shop and the said that oil had gotten into my my brakes master cylinder and it caused the brakes to go out. Luckily I drive a standard and I was able to stop by down shifting and using the hand brake. It was fixed. Not even a full year ago it happened again. I was at a stop light and I heard a very loud pop again and my brake light came on and an instant message flashed across my dash that I didn’t even have time to read that’s how quickly it happened. I once again took it to the same shop and it was the same issue. I have had Mopar in on this and reported it to them both times. I am afraid I will be driving my car and lose brakes at a high speed.

I was driving down a steep hill when I heard a loud pop and my brakes light came on and a message quickly flashed across my dash so fast I couldn’t even read it but I lost all brakes. Luckily I was driving a standard so I was able to down shift and use the hand brake to stop.

CAR IS EXPERIENCING A FLUCTUATING BRAKE PEDAL. AT TIMES, I WILL HAVE TO DEPRESS THE BRAKE DOWN TO THE FLOOR TO GET THE VEHICLE TO STOP PROPERLY. OTHER TIMES... IT IS FINE AND NORMAL PEDAL PRESSURE IS PRESENT. FLUID LEVEL IS FINE. IT IS A BIT DISCONCERTING WHEN YOU GO TO HIT THE BRAKES AND THE BRAKE PEDAL GOES TO THE FLOOR BEFORE YOU HAVE ENOUGH PRESSURE TO STOP THE CAR. MY FEAR IS THAT IN A SITUATION WHERE I NEED TO BRAKE QUICKLY, IT COULD POTENTIALLY CAUSE AN ACCIDENT.

BRAKES COMPLETELY FAILED WHILE CAR WAS STATIONARY. AT 75,000 MILES MASTER CYLINDER & POWER BRAKE BOOSTER FAILED. CAR WAS PURCHASED NEW ALSO. SEEMS TO BE RE-OCCURRING PROBLEM ON THESE DODGE DARTS. RECALL SHOULD BE ISSUED BEFORE SOMEONE GETS KILLED

I WAS DRIVING TO WORK AND NOT EVEN A MILE FROM MY HOUSE WHEN I WAS COMING TO A STOP AT A STOP SIGN MY 2014 DODGE DART SXT STALLED. WHEN IT STALLED THE BATTERY LIGHT CAME ON AND I SHUT IT OFF. I WAS ABLE TO GET IT TO START THE NEXT TRY. THEN 7 DAYS LATER, I WAS DRIVING NO MORE THAN 30 SECONDS WHEN I WAS COMING TO A STOP AT ANOTHER STOP SIGN AND THE CAR STALLED AGAIN WITH THE BATTERY LIGHT COMING ON. I TRIED TO START IT AGAIN A FEW TIMES BUT WAS NOT SUCCESSFUL. I NEEDED A JUMP. I DROVE IT STRAIGHT TO A MECHANIC WHO RAN A FEW TESTS ON THE CAR INCLUDING CHECKING THE BATTERY AND CHARGING SYSTEM. HE SAID EVERYTHING LOOKED GOOD WHICH I FIGURED SINCE I JUST CHANGED THE BATTERY A YEAR AGO. I DROVE IT HOME. 2 DAYS LATER I WAS TWO BLOCKS FROM MY HOUSE WHEN IT STALLED FOR A THIRD TIME (MIND YOU THIS HAS NEVER HAPPENED BEFORE THESE OCCURRENCES). AGAIN, I WAS COMING TO A STOP AND THE CAR STALLED, THE BATTERY LIGHT CAME ON, AND I NEEDED TO HAVE A JUMP SINCE I COULDN'T GET IT TO START. AFTER RESEARCHING A BIT, THIS SEEMS TO BE A VERY COMMON ISSUE. A FEW PEOPLE SAID THAT CHANGING THE OIL OR ADDING MORE DID THE TRICK SO I CHECKED MY OIL AND IT WAS FINE PLUS I CHANGED THE OIL 3 MONTHS AGO SO IT ISN'T THAT. MOST CASES MENTIONED THAT THIS STARTED TO OCCUR AROUND THE 50,000 MILE MARK, WHICH IS ABOUT WHERE MINE IS. THERE REALLY SHOULD BE A RECALL ON THIS CAR ' IT'S A DEATH TRAP! WHEN THE CAR STALLS THE POWER STEERING GOES OUT AS WELL SO IF THIS HAPPENED ON THE HIGHWAY IT WOULD BE VERY DANGEROUS. THIS ISSUE COULD REALLY HURT SOMEONE AND DODGE REALLY NEEDS TO DO SOMETHING ABOUT IT OR FIND A SOLUTION. I TOOK MY CAR TO THE DEALERSHIP IN JENKINTOWN, PA TO GET LOOKED AT AND WAS INFORMED OF A FEW RECALLS BUT NONE THAT HAD TO DO WITH MY ISSUES. THE FACT THAT THIS IS CLEARLY A COMMON ISSUE IS VERY CONCERNING ESPECIALLY SINCE THERE SEEMS TO BE NO CLEAR SOLUTION.

MY ETC LIGHT WILL TURN ON IF I TAKE OFF TOO QUICKLY TO GET UP TO SPEED WITH TRAFFIC. IT HAS ALSO STARTED TO TURN OFF WHENEVER I HIT THE BRAKES TOO ABRUPTLY. THIS IS A HUGE SAFETY ISSUE AND DODGE WILL NOT EVEN LOOK AT IT UNLESS I PAY THEM 125 DOLLARS. I SHOULDN'T HAVE TO PAY FOR SOMETHING THAT IS CLEARLY NOT MY FAULT. IT IS A MANUFACTURER ISSUE THAT NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED BEFORE SOMEONE GETS HURT OR SUED!

BRAKES FAILD

Mileage: 44,000

ISSUE #1: BRAKES WHEN ATTEMPTING TO COME TO A STOP (WHETHER IT BE A RED LIGHT, A STOP SIGN, OR A SUDDEN STOP DUE TO HEAVY TRAFFIC ON THE HIGHWAY) THE BRAKES FAIL TO FULLY GRASP MAKING ME SUSCEPTIBLE TO RAMMING THE PERSON IN FRONT OF ME FROM BEHIND. ISSUE #2: ENGINE? ON TWO SEPARATE OCCASIONS, THE CAR HAS SUDDENLY JUST SHUT OFF WHILE DRIVING. THERE IS NO PRIOR WARNING TO THIS OCCURRING. ENGINE JUST COMPLETELY SHUTS OFF AND THAT LEADS ME TO SUDDEN MISSES IN BEING HIT FROM BOTH INCOMING TRAFFIC AND TRAFFIC FROM BEHIND. BATTERY IS BRAND NEW SO THAT IS NOT THE ISSUE, ESPECIALLY SINCE THE CAR WILL EVENTUALLY START AFTER SEVERAL ATTEMPTS. I TOOK IT TO MY LOCAL MECHANIC WHO WAS UNABLE TO DUPLICATE THE ISSUE. FIRST TIME IT HAPPENED WAS IN AUGUST 2018, THE PAST TIME IT HAPPENED WAS NOVEMBER 2018.

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 PRESS ON THE GAS. TURN THE CAR OFF AND THEN BACK ON AND IT DRIVES AGAIN. FINALLY, TODAY (AUGUST 23) I BACKED OUT OF MY DRIVEWAY AND PUT IT IN DRIVE. NOTHING BAD HAPPENED THEN, BUT AS I WAS COMING UP TO A LIGHT AND SLOWING DOWN TO TURN, MY CARS BATTERY LIGHT COMES ON AND IT WON'T GO FASTER WHEN I HIT THE GAS. I PULL INTO THE AUTO REPAIR SHOP THAT WAS THERE (THANKFULLY) STOPPED THE CAR AND TURNED IT OFF. WHEN I TRIED TO START IT THIS TIME, IT WOULDN'T START. I GAVE THE GUYS AT THE SHOP MY KEYS AND INFO AND JUST GOT A CALL THAT MY CAR HAD NO OIL AND THEY THINK IT SHUT DOWN TO A SAFETY FEATURE. BUT MY CAR WAS TELLING ME I STILL HAD A 23% OIL LIFE. THERE WERE NO WARNINGS PRIOR TO THE CAR SHUTTING DOWN. I DO NOT FEEL SAFE IN THIS CAR ANYMORE, ESPECIALLY SINCE I USE IT TO DELIVER IN AND I COMMUTE TO SCHOOL. I NEVER KNOW WHEN THE NEXT TIME IT'S GOING TO STALL OUT. AND I DON'T WANT TO GET INTO AN ACCIDENT. ESPECIALLY WHEN I'M ON THE CLOCK AT WORK.

THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN BACK TO THE DEALER WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE BRAKE SWITCH NEEDED TO BE REPLACED AGAIN AND THE PROXY NEEDED TO BE ALIGNED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 22,000.

"BRAKE FAILURE" WHEN I APPLIED THE BRAKES THE PEDDLE, THE BRAKE PEDAL SUDDENLY BECAME HARD TO DEPRESS AND THE DISTANCE NEEDED TO STOP INCREASE DRASTICALLY. IT WAS VERY DANGEROUS TO STOP THE CAR COMPLETELY. IF IT HAPPENED WHILE DRIVING ON FREEWAY, IT COULD HAVE HAPPENED AN ACCIDENT.

I WAS AT A COMPLETE STOP, MY FOOT WAS PUSHED DOWN ON THE BRAKE AND IT SUDDENLY RELEASED FROM MY FOOT FOLLOWED BY A WHOOSHING SOUND. MY BRAKE SYSTEM FAILED, AND I HAD TO USE MY EMERGENCY BRAKE TO STOP MY VEHICLE AFTER I STARTED DRIVING IT. I HAD IT TOWED TO A DEALERSHIP AND THEY DIAGNOSED IT AS OIL LEAKING FROM THE ENGINE INTO THE BRAKE BOOSTER. ON 7/15/2015 MY CHECK ENGINE LIGHT APPEARED, FOLLOWED BY THE ENTIRE VEHICLE SHAKING UNCONTROLLABLY. I TURNED THE VEHICLE OFF, RESTATED IT AND THOUGH THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT STILL APPEARED, THE CAR NO LONGER SHOOK, AND THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT WENT OFF A COUPLE HOURS LATER. ON 7/23/2015 THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT REAPPEARED SO I TOOK IT INTO THE DEALERSHIP WHERE THEY ARE CURRENTLY TRYING TO DIAGNOSE WHAT IS WRONG WITH IT, BUT THINK IT HAS A VALVE PLUGGED OR AN ENGINE PROBLEM. BOTH OF THESE INCIDENTS OCCURRED AFTER I HAD AN OIL CHANGE COMPLETED ON THE VEHICLE.

OUR DAUGHTER WAS DRIVING OUR THREE-WEEK-OLD DODGE DART. IT BEGAN SMOKING AS SHE EXITED THE HIGHWAY AND, WITHIN SECONDS, SHE LOST HER ABILITY TO BRAKE AND STEER. THE CAR WAS COMPLETELY ENGULFED IN FLAMES WITHIN 1-2 MINUTES AND IS A TOTAL LOSS. SHE WAS ABLE TO GET OUT WITHOUT PHYSICAL INJURY BUT WAS EXTREMELY SHAKEN. THE FIRE DEPARTMENT PUT OUT THE FIRE. WE CAN PROVIDE PICTURES OF THE FIRE, SHOWING THE FLAMES SHOOTING MANY FEET INTO THE AIR AND THE CAR ENCASED IN SMOKE. *TR

WAS TRAVELING TO WORK ON THE HIGHWAY AT APPROX 65 MPH WHEN I FELT A VIBRATION IN MY NEW CAR.OVER A SHORT PERIOD OF TIME THE VIBRATION GREW TO A VERY CONCERNING LEVEL.I THOUGHT I MAY HAVE A FLAT TIRE. I SLOWED DOWN AND WAS LOOKING FOR A SAFE PLACE TO PULL OVER. WITHIN APPROX. 1 MILE I WAS ABLE TO EXIT OFF THE HIGHWAY AND AS I DID THE LEFT/FRONT WHEEL CAME OFF THE CAR AND ROLLED DOWN THE STREET .THE CAR WAS TOWED BY AAA TO A REPAIR SHOP WHO FOUND THE OTHER THREE WHEEL'S LUG BOLTS TO BE TORQUED TO 40LBS.THE BOOK STATES THE LUG BOLTS NEED TO BE TORQUED TO 92LBS. THE WHEELS WERE NEVER PROPERLY TIGHTENED FROM THE FACTORY AND WERE NOT CHECKED BY THE DEALER AS PER THE PRE DELIVERY INSPECTION.I COULD HAVE BEEN KILLED BECAUSE OF THIS NEGLIGENCE. I HAVE CONTACTED DODGE CUSTOMER RELATIONS AND HAVE NOT RECEIVED ANY SATISFACTION.THIS VEHICLE IS NOT SAFE TO DRIVE. *TR
