2014 Dodge Dart acceleration problems

Filed May 11, 2026 · Acceleration · MN

My transmission shift cable disconnected and prevented me from shifting my vehicle into park which is preventing my vehicle from shifting or my vehicle even being able to start. When calling the recall hotline for Dodge they said that a remedy is not available and there is nothing that they can do to repair it temporarily until a permanent fix is available. This recall has been acti6since October of 2025 but there still is no fix for the issue. So now I am supposed to go without a vehicle for however many more months which is going to cost me my job because I do not have a vehicle that will start or run. Dodge needs to get on this issue ASAP because I cannot afford to wait for a remedy.

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 the ntmvsa.

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 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.

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 only seems to stall first time driving it in the morning or after work, in both cases the car has been sitting for 8-9 hours. I'm now scared to drive this car fearful it will stop on me and I wont have a chance to get out of harms way.

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 recall on the brakes. The third time it stopped on me while driving was on the highway oct. 2017 had to get a jump and he kept stalling out before it completely stopped this time I contacted dodge roadside assistance to toll me to the nearest dealership for documentation. I have open a case with chrysler corporation and feel like I'm getting no where, and the dealership has not even bother to contact me. I'm going through all of this when the car is only 3 years old with 48,000 miles still covered under warranty. All the times I vehicle has stopped on me on dark roads, in traffic, on the instate my daughter has been in the car with me. This car is a danger to me, my, family, and anyone else on the road if I drive this car. For now it continues to be at the dealership while I drive the loaner car they gave me. But I'm still having to make car payments on a vehicle I'm not even driving.
