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.
2014 Dodge Dart brakes complaints

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.
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.
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!
The parking brake is inoperable. The emergency brake mechanism in the rear calipers has become seized and pulling the e-brake lever will not engage the emergency brakes, which allows the vehicle to roll freely. Prior model year (2013) already have an active recall for this issue, however newer model years (2014-2016) do not.
When my car in the winter time warms up the fan doesn't work unless I open up my engine hood and it cools down now this can be anywhere from 2 minutes me running my car attendance doesn't matter when I turn on the air-conditioning it shakes my whole car I am told it is nothing I don't believe it my transmission when I press on the gas because very slow and jerks a whole car and emotion I told them about this since I had the car and my brakes on the first car that I had my brakes went out and it after I kept complaining about it for six weeks and then they traded me for the 2014 dodge dart my car has 22500 miles on it none of this should be happening when I take it to my dodge dealership they think that it's nothing in pretty much tell me I got what I paid for I'd like to know if there's been other complaints about the engine transmission and the brakes not to mention a whole lot of other things that I don't even want to go into it says below to put down a date I'm going to put down a date for this is just an ongoing thing always
Tl* the contact owns a 2014 dodge dart. While driving 10 MPH, the brake pedal was applied, but was difficult to depress.

The manufacturer was contacted and referred the contact to the federal safety agency. The failure mileage was 33,000. *bf
I was coming up to a red light at an intersection. When coming to a stop, the brakes locked up and was unable to stop and rear ended another vehicle.
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.
Brake pedal is hard, making it difficult to stop. When pressed the pedal makes a hissing sound. The dart was produced in february of 2014 one month after the end of the other brake recall.

Brakes faild
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.
The brake pedal sinks in and increases the braking distance. It happened every once in a while but recently it started happening more often and has gotten worse. The brake sinks in completely now and it does not brake unless u release it and push down again.
When driving I can hear rattling going over bumps coming from the front of the car. I inspected the brake caliper and it is not tight against the brakes pads
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.

My 2014 dodge dart gt has had breaking issues over the past few weeks. When stopping the break petal will go all the way to the floorboard with no pressure at all. This issue has almost caused 3 accidents and the dealership says that they can not find an issue. This vehicle has no recalls to be repaired, and is very unsafe to drive. Dealership has been notified of the issue and no attempt at repair has been made
If I brake within 5 minutes of starting my vehicle, the next time I brake all of the dashboard lights will flash on, the battery light will stay on, and the car will stall. After waiting 5 to 10 minutes the car will start again. This happens within a week of when my car needs an oil change. This happened 10/24/2017, 10/25/2017, and 5/17/2018.
When driving and applying the brakes they will sometimes go soft I will have to reapply them for the brakes to go back to normal. I know there is a recall for this problem but my car is not included. I don't think I should have to pay for a problem that dodge knows exists. What can I do to get my car added to the recall?

Excessive rotor wear and disintegration on rear rotors
Pressed break pedal to place shift vehicle into drive. While pressing pedal, I heard an audible popping noise and felt a spring like vibration through the break pedal. After the noise the car slowly started to roll forward despite break being pressed. Now when pressing the break, there is a hard pressure/resistance along with a loud hissing noise. To attempt to stop the vehicle, the break pedal has to be pressed extremely hard. The breaks are unable to stop the car in a safe distance.
First incident occurred as I was driving down the road at about 35 MPH my brake light sensor turned on; without the brake being pushed or emergency brake being on. Pulled over placed the vehicle in park and shut it off. Turned the car back on and the light no longer appeared. As I was reversing out of my drive way I applied brakes, my vehicle didn't stop I pulled the emergency brake that didn't stop the vehicle either. Upon pushing the brake it seemed "seemed stuck" unable to push it down all the way. I was able to change my gear into drive and tried to push the brakes in however, my car failed to stop until I placed my car in park and applied the emergency brake.
The car has excessive rotor wear and intermittent braking issues. The dealer service center doesn't seem over concerned or suggest it might be covered under our premium extended warranty. The problem was noticed early in july and the vehicle is currently in the shop for other repairs. My wife states that the car sometimes has trouble stopping, and has to push the brakes harder to bring it to a stop when the braking problem occurs.
Interior electrical problems from day 1. Random electrical components shut off and restart all the time. Also brakes became harder and harder to use, until they stopped working altogether in traffic, but started working again after collision
This vehicle have had two occasions of master cylinder brake fluid loss and unexplained totall engine oil evaporation without warning that caused the loss of power while driving. Luckily it happened in city, not highway.
