2015 DODGE DART Service Brakes Problems

Vehicle was traveling northbound when green light turned red. Steady press of the brakes revealed the brake pedal had no travel. Pumped and held brake pedal to try to stop. Pedal gave way after vehicle entered the intersection causing collision with another motor vehicle. No warning lights or issues indicating the brakes may fail. The previous years of vehicle appear to have a recall specifically for hard brake pedal, but not the 2015.

The brake booster failed mid drive leaving us without any braking assist, which means to stop the car, it took a lot longer to come to a stop which is a significant safety concern. There is a loud hissing noise only when applying the break. You can find air being blown out of the booster when you press the pedal. Brake assist is completely gone, so even keeping the car stopped while in drive requires significant pressure. Communicated with a local dodge dealership and they weren’t able to give an answer on the issue. This car shows that it was manufactured 03/15 There was a previous recall for this same model, but a year earlier. There does feel as if there is oil on the plunger of the booster. This was part of the previous recall. And as it says in the previous recall, there are no parts available to repair this. Recall: [XXX] Chrysler Group LLC (Chrysler) is recalling certain model year 2013-2014 Dodge Dart vehicles manufactured February 27, 2012 to January 23, 2014 and equipped with either a 2.0L or 2.4L engine. In affected vehicles, engine oil from the vacuum pump may seep into the brake booster, damaging a component within the brake booster. Recall consequence Internal damage to brake booster could result in a loss of brake assist, lengthening the distance needed to stop the vehicle and increasing the risk of a crash. Recall action Chrysler will notify owners, and dealers will inspect the brake booster grommet for the presence of oil. If no oil is found, the vacuum tube assembly will be replaced. If oil is found, the vacuum pump, vacuum tube assembly, brake booster and master cylinder will be replaced. Parts are not currently available to remedy the vehicles. Owners will be sent an interim notification and then will be sent a second notice when remedy parts are available. The manufacturer has not yet provided a notification schedule. Owners may contact Chrysler customer service at 1-800-853-1403. Chrysler's number for this recall is [XXX]. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION AC

I have a problem with my brakes and I took it to a shop. The mechanic told me I had oil in my vacuum line to the break booster causing it to fail. The 2013 and 2014 models of my car has a recall for this problem but the 2015 was not included.

Brake Booster failed, no ABS, no traction control, no electronic braking assist. I've read where this has been recalled in Darts in 2013 models. Master Cylinder and Vacuum pump may also be bad.

Electronic Braking System Failure, was approaching a stop sign at 60 mph, was unable to stop, towed to shop. Shop is replacing brake booster, had to pay out of pocket (same as recall R63, but my model year did not fall into it), just wanted to report in hopes that this model year will fall into the recall, and prevent this happening to others! " The brake booster on your vehicle may experience engine oil migration from the vacuum pump, through the vacuum supply tube, and into the brake booster. Prolonged brake booster diaphragm exposure to engine oil could cause the diaphragm to fail. This could lead to a loss of brake booster assist and/or an air leaking sound. A loss of brake booster assist could require the driver to apply additional brake pedal force to stop the vehicle. The lack of brake booster assist could change the braking characteristics of the vehicle and cause a crash without warning."

Upon inspection, Power Brake Booster failure, my safety is at Risk due to not having brakes, the issue it has been a confirmed in older models from 2013-2014, recall R63, it has been inspected by an expert and a message pops saying Service Electronic Brake System with code C0021

Front Calipers have excessive play with new pads and rotors

Unknown , I was driving down the road at 50 mph and my battery light came on then I lost my a/c my lights started flickering and I then lost power steering and brakes I had to use my emergency brake to slow down then all of my check engine and brake failure lights were flickering and my fuse box on top of my battery caught fire and was smoking and my car then shut off I could have crashed and or been hit and killed

Attempted to stop at a stop sign and the brake pedal sank with a hissing noise and then became very hard to operate. I had to maneuver to avoid colliding with the vehicle in front of me by diverting into the other side of the road where a turneing vehicle had to stop to avoid colliding with me. I was able to reverse into a nearby parking spot and apply the parking brake to stop the vehicle. Mechanic has suggested that the brake vacuum check valve, brake master cylinder, or brake booster has failed but cannot pinpoint which component specifically.

The contact owns a 2015 Dodge Dart. The contact stated while driving at 70 MPH, the radio engaged on its own and the vehicle lost power steering. Several warning lights such as the brake system light, the battery light, the airbag light, and the engine light were illuminated. The steering wheel became difficult to maneuver but the contact was still able to drive the vehicle. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic and was diagnosed with the battery and alternator needing to be replaced, and was repaired. The failure reoccurred today while driving. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic who was unable to diagnose the vehicle as the OBD reader failed to work. The vehicle was also taken to an unknown dealer who was unable to diagnose the vehicle for the same reason. The vehicle was not diagnosed nor repaired. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 125,000.

MY 2015 DART GT WAS AT A GAS STATION TO FILL THE GAS TANK UP. ALL WAS WELL UNTIL I WENT TO START THE CAR AND PULL AWAY, WHEN THE BRAKE PEDAL COULDN'T DEPRESS AT ALL AND THE CAR HAD NO BRAKING AT ALL. I IMMEDIATELY PULLED THE EMERGENCY/PARKING BRAKE LEVER TO STOP THE CAR AND IT DID. THE INHUD DISPLAY SAID "SERVICE ELECTRONIC BRAKING SYSTEM" AND THE "BRAKE" LIGHT WAS ON AT ALL TIMES, REGARDLESS IF MY EMERGENCY/PARKING BRAKE LEVER WAS PULLED OR NOT. MY FIRST THOUGHT WAS TO CHECK THE BRAKE FLUID IN THE RESERVOIR. I DID SO ONLY TO FIND IT WAS MURKY, A REDISH ORANGE COLOR. I CALLED AND MADE AN APPOINTMENT WITH MY CLOSEST DEALERSHIP TO HAVE IT DIAGNOSED. I ALSO CALLED CHRYSLER CUSTOMER SERVICE AND INQUIRED ABOUT CURRENT RECALLS ON MY CAR AND THERE WERE NONE PERTAINING TO THE BRAKING SYSTEM, BUT THAT THERE WAS A RECALL ON THE 2013-2014 MODELS (RECALL CAMPAIGN # 15V800000) BECAUSE "...ENGINE OIL FROM THE VACUUM PUMP MAY SEEP INTO THE BRAKE BOOSTER, DAMAGING A COMPONENT WITHIN THE BRAKE BOOSTER." ,WHICH "COULD RESULT IN A LOSS OF BRAKE ASSIST, LENGTHENING THE DISTANCE NEEDED TO STOP THE VEHICLE AND INCREASING THE RISK OF A CRASH." WHEN I DROPPED THE CAR OFF AT THE DEALERSHIP AND RECEIVED THE DIAGNOSTIC, THEY FOUND "OIL HAD SOAKED INSIDE OF VACUUM BOOSTER CAUSING THE VACUUM BOOSTER TO GO BAD... VACUUM LINE AND MASTER CYLINDER."

I HAVE HAD THE BRAKES REPLACED TWICE DUE TO IT SHAKING WHILE TRYING TO STOP. I ALSO HAVE PUT ON THREE SETS OF ROTORS DUE TO THE SHAKING AND EVEN WITH BRAND NEW ROTORS THE BOUNCING AND SHAKING WILL NOT GO AWAY. THE NEWEST PROBLEM NOW IS THE BRAKES NOT WANTING TO WORK. I HAVE HAD THEM CHECKED BY MECHANICS AND THEY SAY THERE'S NOTHING TO DO BUT CHANGE THEM OUT AGAIN!

I WAS STOPPED ON A STREET THAT WAS A STEEP HILL CHECKING MY MAILBOX. WHEN I WENT TO GO UP THE BRAKES WENT TO THE FLOOR AND DID NOT WORK AT ALL. CAR STARTED TO GO BACKWARDS. NO WARNING ON DASHBOARD EVER ABOUT A BRAKE PROBLEM. I WAS ABLE TO WITH A LOT OF STRENGTH PUMP THEM UP. WENT UP DRIVEWAY AND AGAIN WOULD NOT STOP WHEN BRAKE WAS APPLIED. VERY DANGEROUS AND SCAREY.

I'VE HAD MY VEHICLE FOR BARELY 4 YEARS AND I'VE HAD TO TAKE IT IN FOR THE BRAKES TO BE FIXED TWICE. THE BRAKES SUDDENLY STOPPED WORKING AND BECAME ROCK SOLID WHEN WHEN I TRIED BRAKING ON THE HIGHWAY. LUCKILY I SWERVE AND USED MY EMERGENCY BRAKES. OTHER TIMES, IT WORKED BUT I WOULD HAVE TO PRESS IT ALL THE WAY DOWN AND ONCE IT REACHES A CERTAIN POINT IT HAS A KICK BACK TO IT AND THE CAR DOESN'T STOP SMOOTHLY INSTEAD IT JERKS ABOUT TWICE BEFORE STOPPING. ON THE SECOND INSTANCE, IT HAD A HISSING SOUND COMING FROM THE BRAKE PEDAL AREA. THE FIRST TIME THIS HAPPENED, THE BRAKE BOOSTER WAS REPLACED WITH AN OEM. SECOND TIME IT HAPPEND (A YR LATER), THE BRAKE BOOSTER,VACUUM HOSE, AND VACUUM PUMP WERE ALL REPLACED BUT IT KEPT HAPPENING. $1,200 IN ON THIS SECOND REPAIRS AND I AM STILL WAITING TO GET THIS FIXED. A FEW DODGE DEALERS HAVE CONFIRMED THIS IS A PROBLEM WITH THE DODGE SEDANS IN FACT THE PREVIOUS YEARS(2013 AND 2014) MODELS WERE ALL RECALLED FOR THIS SAME ISSUE BUT THE 2015 WAS NOT RECALLED DESPITE IT HAVING THE SAME ISSUE.

WHILE DRIVING THE DODGE DART 2015, GOING DOWNHILL AT ABOUT ~40MPH, I WAS BRAKING TO DECREASE SPEED THEN THE BRAKE PEDAL LOST PRESSURE AND WAS UNABLE TO USE THE BRAKES IN ORDER TO SLOW DOWN. DUE TO BEING A MANUAL CAR I WAS ABLE TO DOWNSHIFT TO SLOW DOWN AND PULL OVER AND AVOIDED A DANGEROUS ACCIDENT. AFTER GETTING IT TOWED AND SERVICED AT A REPAIR CENTER THEY ROOT CAUSED THE ISSUE TO A BROKEN VALVE THAT CAUSED A FAILURE IN THE HYDRAULICS SYSTEM. ATTACHED DOCUMENTS SHOW REPORT OF VALVE MALFUNCTIONING CAUSING FAILURE IN VACCUM SYSTEM.VALVE FAILURE CAUSED BRAKE BOOSTER TO BE FILLED WITH OIL CAUSING THAT COMPONENT TO FAIL AS WELL.

I DRIVE A 2015 DODGE DART. I WAS BACKING INTO A PARKING SPOT ON A DECLINE. SHIFTED TO N, COASTED WITH MY FOOT IN THE BREAK, UNTIL COMFORTABLE. WHEN COMPLETELY STOPPED, I SET THE E-BRAKE. MY BRAKE PEDAL DECOMPRESSED AND PUSHED BACK AT MY FOOT. NOW PEDAL IS STIFF AND WON'T MOVE. WHEN LEAVING PARKING LOT BRAKE PEDAL HALFWAY DECOMPRESSED. I WENT TO STOP AT THE INTERSECTION STOP SIGN. PRESSED BRAKES TO STOP AND COULDN'T.. THE PEDAL WAS ROCK SOLID, STIFF AS A BOARD. I THEN PULLED MY E-BRAKE, ONLY TO COME TO A SCREECHING STOP HALF WAY INTO CROSS TRAFFIC. I PUSHED BRAKES TO SHIFT TO REVERSE AND THE PEDAL WAS STIFF WITH NO PLAY. I SHIFTED TO REVERSE AND BACKED INTO A PARKING SPOT, HAD TO, AGAIN, PULL MY E-BRAKE TO STOP. CALLED A TOW TRUCK AND HAD IT TOWED. BRAKE BOOSTER FAILURE. DODGE WANTED 3K. MY FRIENDS SHOP WANTED $400. HAD CAR TOWED TO HIM. WHEN HE ORDERED THE PART, IT WAS ON NATIONAL BACK ORDER. SO I ASKED MYSELF WHY, LOOKED INTO IT AND FOUND OUT THE '13-'14 MODELS BRAKE BOOSTER WAS RECALLED. MY CAR WAS MANUFACTURED EARLY 2015. WHEN I CHECKED THE VIN, THERE WAS NO RECALL. BUT SEEING HOW THE PART IS ON NATIONAL BACK ORDER, AND I'VE BEEN WITHOUT MY CAR FOR NINE WEEKS NOW, I'M STARTING TO THINK IT SHOULD BE A RECALL. IF IT ORIGINALLY WAS 3 DAYS TO 3 WEEKS, AND THAT'S NOW TRIPLED..

HI ON NEW YEARS EVE MY BRAKES FAILED AND I HIT A DOG GOING 45 MPH THEN ON JAN 5 A 18 WHEELER CAME OVER ON ME AND I HIT MY BRAKES GOING 70 MPH ON INTERSTATE BUT NEVER SLOWED DOWN IT DID MAKE A MARK IN THE ROAD BUT NO.SOUNDS OR ANYTHING. I GOT OVER AS MUCH AS I COULD I HIT THE GUARDRAIL THEN SPUN IN TWO LANES AND HIT THE OTHER GUARDRAIL. NOT ONE AIRBAG CAME OUT. A FEW MONTHS BEFORE THAT MY BRAKE BOOSTER WENT OUT. ALSO I HAVE A RECALL ON MY TRANSMISSION BUT THEY DON'T HAVE THE PART TO FIX IT SO IT COULD BE THROWED I TO NEUTRAL WITHOUT A NOTICE.. I HAVE PICTURES OF THE CAR THE ACCIDENT THE BRAKE BOOSTER AND A POLICE REPORT . THE CAR ONLY HAS ABOUT 80,000 MILES ON IT AND THE 2013 AND 2014 ALL HAVE BRAKE PROBLEMS AND ONLINE ALOT OF PEOPLE COMPLAIN ABOUT 2015 BRAKES AND AIRBAGS.

WHILE DRIVING I LOST COMPLETE USE OF BRAKES AND NEEDED TO USE EMERGENCY BRAKE TO STOP VEHICLE. I WAS DRIVING IN A RESIDENTIAL AREA AT NORMAL SPEED LIMITS. BRAKES COMPLETELY WENT DOWN TO FLOOR AND CAR ACCELERATED. I NOTICED A AIR SWOOSHING SOUND AS I ATTEMPTED TO BRAKE. I CALLED MY DEALERSHIP AND HAD VEHICLE TOWED TO THEM.

DROVE TO WORK FINE. GOT INTO DART TO LEAVE, STARTED CAR. AFTER 2 SECONDS I FEEL THE BRAKE PEDAL PUSH OUT HARD AGAINST MY FEET WITH A HISSING SOUND. THE ALARM "SERVICE ELECTRONIC BRAKING SYSTEM" POPS UP. I'M THINKING IT'S JUST EXTRA PRESSURE LIKE OLDER VEHICLES, SO IT'S OK. BUT NO, I PULL OUT OF THE PARKING SPOT AND REALIZE I HAVE TO STOMP THE PEDAL WITH EXCESSIVE FORCE TO GET ANY STOPPING RESPONSE. I HAD TO DRIVE IT HOME VERY CAREFULLY, BUT THE BRAKING RESPONSE WHEN PRESSING THE PEDAL IS ABOUT 2 SECONDS OF SLOWING THEN A HISS AND YOU FEEL THE BRAKES LET GO, SO YOU EITHER HAVE TO KEEP DOING THAT OR STOMP WITH ALL OF YOUR MIGHT AND PRETTY MUCH LOCK UP THE BRAKES. I'M NOT THE ORIGINAL OWNER, I GOT THE CAR ABOUT 1.5 YEARS AGO AT 48000MI, I'M NOW AT 64239MI AND VERY CONCERNED ABOUT MY SAFETY. IT'S A 2015, AND LOOKING UP RECALLS THE 2013 AND 2014 CARS WERE RECALLED FOR THIS SAME ISSUE, BUT FOR SOME REASON MY CAR (WHICH IS A 2.4L MANUAL, ALMOST IDENTICAL IF NOT THE EXACT SAME CAR TO PREVIOUS YEARS) WAS NOT. I DON'T HAVE THE FUNDS TO REPLACE A BRAKING SYSTEM AND REALLY DON'T FEEL THAT I SHOULD HAVE TO BECAUSE THE CAR ITSELF ISN'T OLD ENOUGH TO CONSTITUTE A BRAKE SYSTEM FAILURE.

WHILE DRIVING THE VEHICLE AT NORMAL SPEED THROUGH THE CITY, I HAD TO MAKE A SUDDEN STOP TO AVOID AN ACCIDENT. I IMMEDIATELY HEARD AN AIR RELEASE AND THE BRAKE BECAME VERY STIFF AND NEARLY IMPOSSIBLE TO STOP THE CAR. NOW, I HAVE TO USE BRUTE FOOT FORCE TO STOP THE CAR. I WAS ONLY A FEW BLOCKS FROM AN EXPRESS OIL CHANGE & TIRE ENGINEER ON 5700 SANDERSON RD NW, HUNTSVILLE, AL. MY VEHICLE WAS DIAGNOSED BY A CERTIFIED MECHANIC. IT WAS BROUGHT TO MY ATTENTION THAT THE BRAKE BOOSTER NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE MECHANIC DID NOT SEEM SURPRISED BY THE FINDING. THAT ALERTED ME THAT THIS IS A SYSTEMIC PROBLEM FOR THE DODGE DART. AFTER READING OTHER BRAKE COMPLAINTS ON THIS WEBSITE, I DECIDED TO FILE A COMPLAINT. THE REPAIR WILL COST ME NEARLY $650 FOR A FAIRLY NEW VEHICLE WITH LOW MILES.

OVER THE PAST MONTH, BRAKING ACTION IS DECLINING. THEY HAVE BECOME STIFF AND MUST BE DEPRESSED QUITE HARD TO STOP. THE BRAKE PADS, UPON INSPECTION, ARE ALMOST BRAND NEW AND THERE IS NO GRINDING. SEVERAL MECHANICS HAVE SUGGESTED THE BRAKE BOOSTER AS A POSSIBLE ISSUE. UPON MY OWN RESEARCH, THIS APPEARS TO BE A VERY COMMON ISSUE WITH THIS VEHICLE. THOUSANDS OF 2013-2014 DODGE DARTS WERE RECALLED TO REPLACE THE BRAKE BOOSTER, ALTHOUGH THE 2015 HAS NOT. I'M VERY CONCERNED THAT EVENTUALLY, THE BRAKES WILL WORSEN OR FAIL AS HAS HAPPENED WITH MANY OTHERS WHO OWN THIS SAME VEHICLE, AS WRITTEN ON SEVERAL INTERNET FORUMS.

WHEN DRIVING YOU HIT A BUMP YOU HEAR A METAL CLANGING NOISE COMING FROM THE TIRE. WHEN YOU ENGAGE THE BREAKS THEY GO ABOUT HALFWAY DOWN BEFORE CATCHING AS IF THEY HAVE AIR IN THE LINES AND SOMETIMES YOU HEAR A HIDING NOISE. YOU CAN BE SITTING WITH THE BREAKS ENGAGED AND THEY WILL GO SOFT AND THE CAR WILL MOVE UNTIL THEY CAGE ON THEIR OWN.

DRIVING CAR NORMALLY. I PARKED IN A PARKING LOT AND WENT INTO A STORE. WHEN I CAME OUT TO START THE CAR IT WOULD NOT START. CHARGING INDICATOR LIGHT AND CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON. AUTO ZONE WAS IN THE PLAZA SO I HAD THE GUY COME OUT AND DO A DIAGNOSTIC. CODES WERE P0123, P2122, P2127, P0222, U0401. WHEN THE GUY WENT BACK INTO THE STORE THE CAR STARTED. WHEN I PARKED AGAIN 10 MINUTES LATER THE CHECK ENGINE AND CHARGE LIGHT DISAPPEARED. CAR RAN FINE FOR ONE DAY. ABOUT 33 HOURS AFTER THAT INCIDENT I PARKED THE CAR AT A PARK FOR LUNCH FROM WORK. TOOK A WALK AND WHEN I RETURNED CAR NEVER CAME ON. DASH WAS FLICKERING, ALL LIGHTS ILLUMINATED, MILEAGE WAS FLASHING, GAUGES WERE FLICKERING, CAR WOULD NOT TURN OVER. ACTED AS IF BATTERY WAS DEAD.

THE PROBLEM WITH THE VEHICLE IS THAT THE CLUTCH PEDAL GOES STRAIGHT TO THE FLOOR AND STAYS THERE, THE ONLY WAY TO GET IT TO THE UP POSITION IS TO REACH DOWN OR USE YOUR FOOT. THE MASTER CYLINDER OF THE BRAKE SYSTEM WAS BELOW THE MINIMUM LINE. NO BRAKE WARNING LIGHT OR ANY OTHER WARNING/CAUTION. THE CLUTCH WENT TO THE FLOOR. THE INCIDENT HAPPENED I WAS ON A 7 LANE CITY STREET DURING RUSH HOUR TRAFFIC I WAS DRIVING AND EVERYTHING WAS NORMAL. I WAS THE FIRST VEHICLE IN LINE WHEN I TRY TO START GOING THE CLUTCH FELT LIKE IT WAS SLIPPING IN FIRST GEAR WHICH IS HIGHLY UNUSUAL FOR MY VEHICLE BECAUSE FIRST GEAR HAS ALWAYS BEEN VERY TOUCHY.. SHIFT TO SECOND GEAR IN THE CLUTCH ONCE AGAIN WAS SLIPPING AND THE ENGINE REVED THE VEHICLE DID NOT ACCELERATE PROPERLY. I WAS ABLE TO GET IT TO GO AND I MADE IT TO THE NEXT TRAFFIC LIGHT. I WAS THE SECOND CAR FROM THE INTERSECTION. WHEN THE LIGHT TURNED GREEN I RELEASED THE CLUTCH AND THE GEAR ENGAGED IMEADIATLY WITH THE GEAR IN FIRST, THE VEHICLE LURCHED FORWARD AND KEPT DOING THAT ABOUT THREE TIMES UNTIL THE VEHICLE STALLED OUT. PUSHING IN THE CLUTCH PEDAL DID NOTHING IT'S STAY STUCK TO THE FLOOR. IN THE MIRROR I SEE THAT THE VEHICLE BEHIND ME ALMOST RAN INTO ME AND ALMOST CAUSED A HUGE PILE UP BEHIND ME BECAUSE OF THE HESITATION OF MY VEHICLE I WAS NOT ABLE TO MOVE THE VEHICLE OUT OF THE LANE WITHOUT HELP FROM A FELLOW CITIZEN THAT WAS DANGEROUS IN ITSELF. ONCE I GOT THE VEHICLE TO A SAFE PLACE PUSHING IT I CHECKED UNDER THE HOOD AND I SEE THAT THE BRAKE FLUID RESERVOIR ON THE MASTER CYLINDER WAS EMPTY. I CHECK THE FLUIDS IN MY VEHICLE AT LEAST TWICE A WEEK . WHERE DID ALL THAT FLUID GO? I HAVE BEEN WITHOUT MY VEHICLE FOR A WEEK OR TWO NOW DUE TO TRYING TO FIGURE OUT WHAT TO DO BECAUSE THE CAR HAS 40, 000 MILES ON IT SO ITS OUT OF WARRANTY.

RIGHT REAR CALIPER BEGAN TO STAY ENGAGED AS I WAS DRIVING, AFTER IT COOLED IT STOPPED UNTIL I DROVE AGAIN, IT BECAME SO BAD THAT IT BURNED MY ROTOR AND COOKED ALL OF THE GREASE IN THE SLEEVES. REPLACED THE ROTOR, PADS AND REGREASED THE SLEEVES, I STILL HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM.

Mileage: 35,500

MY TRANSMISSION PLACES ITSELF INTO NEUTRAL. BUT IT IS NOT UNDER A RECALL EVEN THOUGH IT FITS THE CATEGORY

Mileage: 32,256

MAJOR SAFETY CONCERN - SHOULD BE RECALLED!!! BRAKES QUIT WORKING PROPERLY; SOUNDS LIKE AIR WHEN PUSH DOWN ON BRAKES....WILL HARDLY SLOW DOWN AND BRAKE PEDAL TRY'S TO PUSH BACK UP WHILE HOLDING IT DOWN. RECALL THIS DODGE - YOU SHOULD BE ASHAMED.

I WAS ON MY WAY TO WORK AND WHEN I CAME TO A STOP SIGN AND TRIED TO STOP BUT MUNCH BRAKES DIDN'T WANT TO WORK. IT SOUNDED LIKE AIR WAS COMING OUT WHEN I PUSHED BRAKE PEDAL AND THEN THE PEDAL WAS HARD TO PUSH DOWN AND TRIED TO COME BACK UP WHILE I WAS HOLDING IT DOWN. I'M AT A MECHANICS AND HE THINKS IT THE BRAKE BOOSTER. HE THOUGHT THERE WAS A RECALL ON IT SO I CALLED THE DODGE PLACE IN DOTHAN AL AND THEY SAID THERE WAS NO RECALL FOR MY CAR. I COULD HAVE BEEN IN AN ACCIDENT AND HAD TO DRIVE SLOW ALL THE WAY HERE. NOW I HAVE NO WAY TO GO TO WORK OR HOME CAUSE MY BRAKES ARE NOT WORKING CORRECTLY. NOW I'M WAITING TO HAVE I TO FIXED. DODGE SAID IT WOULD BE AROUND $450 OR MORE TO FIX

Mileage: 68,000

BRAKE LINES POPPED LEAKING FLUID ON GROUND AND THE TIRE PRESSURE SENSOR HAS BEEN ON FOR A LONG TIME AND I KEEP GETTING TOLD THAT I JUST NEED TO DRIVE IT

Mileage: 76,000

EMERGENCY BRAKES DO NOT WORK PROPERLY. CAN STILL DIVE IT WHEN EMERGENCY BRAKES ARE APPLIED AS IF THEY'RE NOT EVEN ON..

I WAS TRYING TO PULL OUT OF AN PARKING SPACE THAT WAS ANGLED UP AND WHILE DOING THAT I NOTICED THAT THE BRAKES DID NOT WORK. IT HAD BEEN PARKED FOR 30 MINUTES. ALL I COULD HEAR WHEN PRESSING ON THE BRAKES WAS AIR. IT WOULD NOT WORK UNLESS PUTTING EXTREME PRESSURE ON IT.

Mileage: 84,300

THE EMERGENCY BRAKE IN THE VEHICLE DOES NOT WORK AT ALL, WHAT-SO-EVER. MY VEHICLE HAS A MANUAL TRANSMISSION SO WITHOUT A WORKING EMERGENCY BRAKE, I CANNOT PARK THE CAR ON ANY SORT INCLINE. I'VE SEEN ON NUMEROUS ONLINE FORUMS THAT MANY DODGE DART OWNERS HAVE BEEN EXPERIENCING ISSUES WITH THEIR EMERGENCY BRAKES AS WELL, IN PARTICULAR, DODGE DART VEHICLES WITH MANUAL TRANSMISSIONS. BASED ON FEEDBACK I'VE READ ON OTHER FORUMS, IT SEEMS THAT THE MANUFACTURER DIDN'T PROPERLY INSTALL THE CABLE THAT THE EMERGENCY BRAKE IS ATTACHED TOO. I HAD ONE INSTANCE WHERE MY VEHICLE ALMOST ROLLED INTO ONCOMING TRAFFIC DUE TO THE PARKING BRAKE NOT WORKING PROPERLY. I HAD ANOTHER INSTANCE WHERE I HAD PASSENGERS IN THE VEHICLE IN A CROWDED SHOPPING CENTER WITH PEDESTRIANS PASSING THROUGH THE PARKING LOT WHERE THE VEHICLE STARTED ROLLING BACK. I BARELY HAVE OVER 45,000 MILES AND I'VE OWNED CARS WITH MANUAL TRANSMISSIONS SINCE I STARTED DRIVING OVER 20 YEARS AGO. THIS IS THE FIRST INSTANCE I'VE EVER HAD ANY ISSUES WITH THE EMERGENCY BREAK, AND I'VE DRIVEN CARS THAT WERE MUCH OLDER THAN THE ONE I OWN NOW. IT SEEMS THIS IS A MAJOR FLAW IN THE 2015 DODGE DART THAT CHRYSLER FAILS TO ACKNOWLEDGE. I HOPE THAT THE NHTSA CAN TAKE ACTION UPON CHRYSLER TO AVOID ANY POTENTIAL FUTURE INJURIES DUE TO THE FACT THAT CHRYSLER DIDN'T PROPERLY ATTACH THE CABLES IN THE EMERGENCY/PARKING BRAKES FOR THE 2015 MANUAL DODGE DART MODELS.

WHEN BRAKING, BRAKES FEELS HARD AND REQUIRE SIGNIFICANTLY MORE FORCE TO ACTIVATE. A HISSING SOUND IS OCCURRING AND BRAKE FORCE WILL OFTEN NOT ENGAGE UNTIL HALFWAY INTO THE PETAL. THE ISSUE HAS BEEN RESOLVED BY MY MECHANIC, BUT ACCORDING TO HIM AND SOME RESEARCH I'VE DONE ONLINE, THIS SEEMS EXACTLY LIKE AN ISSUE WITH THE DODGE DART 2013 RECALL FOR THE SAME PART. AS TAKEN FROM DODGE'S SITE: THE BRAKE BOOSTER ON YOUR VEHICLE MAY EXPERIENCE ENGINE OIL MIGRATION FROM THE VACUUM PUMP, THROUGH THE VACUUM SUPPLY TUBE, AND INTO THE BRAKE BOOSTER. PROLONGED BRAKE BOOSTER DIAPHRAGM EXPOSURE TO ENGINE OIL COULD CAUSE THE DIAPHRAGM TO FAIL. THIS COULD LEAD TO A LOSS OF BRAKE BOOSTER ASSIST AND/OR AN AIR LEAKING SOUND. A LOSS OF BRAKE BOOSTER ASSIST COULD REQUIRE THE DRIVER TO APPLY ADDITIONAL BRAKE PEDAL FORCE TO STOP THE VEHICLE. THE LACK OF BRAKE BOOSTER ASSIST COULD CHANGE THE BRAKING CHARACTERISTICS OF THE VEHICLE AND CAUSE A CRASH WITHOUT WARNING. I'M PUTTING IN THIS COMPLAINT WITH THE HOPE TO AVOID OTHERS FROM ACCIDENTS AND ULTIMATELY TO HOPE TO GET A REFUND FROM THE SERVICE AND PARTS I HAD TO GET INTO MY CURRENT CAR. I RECOGNIZE THAT THE DOT IS NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR A REFUND BUT WOULD BE INSTRUMENTAL IN HAVING DODGE ISSUE A RECALL IF ENOUGH OTHER 2015 DODGE DART OWNERS COMPLAIN ABOUT THIS AS WELL. THANK YOU

Mileage: 48,000

MY BRAKES STOPPED WORKING PROPERLY, I TOOK MY CAR TO HAVE IT LOOKED AT AND IT IS THE POWER BOOSTER AND I WAS INFORMED THAT THIS IS THE SAME ISSUE THAT THE 2013 & 2014 HAD RECALLS FOR SO WHY NOT THE 2015, MY CHILDREN WERE IN THE CAR WITH ME . IT WAS HARD TO STOP MY CAR AND A SCARY SITUATION

Mileage: 37,266

TAKATA RECALL THE BREAKS WENT OUT WHILE DRIVING AND NOW WHEN I PUSH THE BREAKES IT LEAKS AIR AND R VERY HARD TO PUSH. AND WHILE COMING TO A STOP THE CAR JERKS CAN CAUSE A BAD ACCIDENT CAR WILL TAKE A LONGER TIME TO STOP BUT ALOT OF PRESSURE NEEDS TO BE KEPT SO CAR WILL STAY AT A COMPLETE STOP

I HAVE DRIVEN MY 2015 DODGE DART WITHOUT ISSUE TILL 2/15/17. IT DIED IN THE MIDDLE OF MY WIFE DRIVING THE INTERSTATE ON I40. THE FOLLOWING DAY IT DIED AND MY FATHER IN LAW HAD TO JUMP THE VEHICLE OFF TO GET IT GOING. TODAY, (2/17/17), I DECIDED TO DRIVE THE CAR TO WORK BECAUSE MY COMMUTE IS SHORTER AND MUCH LESS DANGEROUS. I PULLED OUT OF MY DRIVE WAY AND DROVE TO THE END OF THE ROAD TILL I GOT TO THE MAIN STREET IN OUR HOMETOWN, AND IT DIED THANKFULLY BEFORE I GOT ON THAT STREET. THE CAR JUST COMPLETELY STOPS. STEERING WHEEL LOCKS. ALL ELECTRONICS IN VEHICLE STOP. BRAKING IS SLIGHTLY DELAYED. I TOOK IT TO THE DODGE DEALERSHIP IN TOWN AND THEY SAID TO CHECK THE OIL. WE DID AND HAD THEM CHANGE IT. MY MAIN CONCERN IS HIGHWAY DRIVING WHERE PEOPLE DRIVE 60+ MPH AND NOT BEING ABLE TO STEER INTO THE SHOULDER.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2015 DODGE DART. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 25 MPH, THE BRAKE PEDAL WAS APPLIED AND FAILED TO RESPOND WITHOUT WARNING. THE BRAKE PEDAL WAS STIFF AND REQUIRED EXCESSIVE FORCE IN ORDER TO STOP THE VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO THE DEALER WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE BRAKE BOOSTER SYSTEM WAS FAULTY. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 60,000.

Mileage: 60,000

WHILE DRIVING, THERE WAS A SNAP AND A LOSS OF POWER BRAKES. ACCORDING TO THE REPAIR REPORT FROM DODGE, BRAKE FLUID FROM THE MASTER CYLINDER LEAKED INTO THE POWER BOOSTER CAUSING LOSS OF POWER BRAKES. THIS CAR IS A LITTLE OVER A YEAR OLD AND JUST OUT OF THE WARRENTY AT 37,000 MILES AND SINCE WE BOUGHT IT WITH 20,000 MILES ON IT, DODGE WOULD NOT HELP WITH THE REPAIR COST. THE 2013 AND 2014 DODGE DARTS WERE RECALLED FOR OLI LEAKING INTO THE POWER BOOSTER, BUT THIS APPEARS TO BE A FAILED MASTER CYLINDER. I'VE HAD EXPERIENCE WITH MASTER CYLINDERS OVER THE YEARS AND ALWAYS GOT MORE THAN A YEAR OUT OF A BRAND NEW MASTER CYLINDER. MAYBE I GOT THE ONLY FLUKE DODGE DART MASTER CYLINDER PROBLEM, OR MAYBE DODGE HAS BEEN PUTTING SUB-STANDARD BRAKE PARTS ON THESE CARS FOR YEARS. I SAVED THE OLD PARTS JUST IN CASE. I THOUGHT IT MIGHT BE WORTH LOOKING INTO. WE NARROWLY AVOIDED A REAR-END ACCIDENT, AND SO DID THE DODGE SERVICE GUY WHEN WE BROUGHT IT IN. I APPRECIATE YOUR INPUT ON THIS. THANK YOU

I'VE HAD MY CAR FOR OVER A YEAR NOW AND I HAVE 9850 MILES ON MY VEHICLE. AROUND 1AM AFTER COMING BACK HOME FROM WORK GOING 60MPH, I HEARD A LOUD CLUNK IN MY STEERING WHEEL AND I DECIDED TO NOT PAY ATTENTION TO IT BECAUSE I THOUGHT IT WAS THE ROAD. I TRIED TO SWITCH LANES, WHEN SUDDENLY I COULDN'T MOVE MY STEERING WHEEL AT ALL. LUCKILY THERE WAS NO ONE BEHIND ME SO I STARTED TO SLOW DOWN AS SOON AS I HIT ABOUT 13MPH MY STEERING WHEEL BECAME UNSTUCK AND I WAS ABLE TO MOVE AGAIN. THE NEXT DAY I TOOK IT TO HUNTER DODGE IN LANCASTER CA AND WHEN I BROUGHT IT IN THEY TOLD ME THEY COULDN'T FIND ANYTHING WRONG WITH THE VEHICLE. ABOUT 3 DAYS LATER, I WAS DRIVING ABOUT 60MPH AGAIN AND MY CAR STARTED TO DRIFT INTO THE DIRT WHILE I WAS GOING BACK HOME. I TRIED RE-CENTERING MY CAR TO THE CENTER, BUT MY STEERING WHEEL LOCKED ONCE MORE AND I STARTED GOING INTO THE DIRT. I SLAMMED ON MY BRAKES AND LUCKILY I WAS ABLE TO STOP BEFORE I HIT A TREE. I TOOK IT BACK A 2ND TIME AND ASKED THEM TO LOOK AT IT AGAIN AND THEY HAD IT FOR A COUPLE OF DAYS AND THEY STILL DIDN'T FIND ANYTHING WRONG WITH IT. LUCKILY THE TIMES IT HAS HAPPENED I WAS ALONE IN THE CAR. INAM.GLAD TO SAY THAT MY FAMILY AND MY SOON TO BE WIFE WASN'T IN THAT CAR. I CANNOT DRIVE MY CAR TO LA BECAUSE OF THE FEAR THAT MY STEERING WHEEL MAY LOCK UP ON ME WHILE ON THE FREEWAY. PLEASE HELP.
