Last Thursday, August 3rd, I reversed my car out of my garage. Upon putting it in Drive, the engine light came on as well as the PRND lights illuminated red. As I was driving, I noticed my car felt sluggish to my destination, but I did make it. When I parked, I noticed how jerky the car was when shifting from drive to park. After my appointment, the red PRND lights were gone, with the engine light still on. I had another appointment to get new tires, and the car ran fine this time, except engine light still on. Once my new tires were on, engine light also no longer lit. I took my car to get it diagnosed. It gave out 3 codes; po705-00, p1c86-92, and B1578-2B with the last code indicating problems with my antenna. I checked it, and it appears to be broken in 2 areas. The first code po705-00 indicates failure of the transmission control module; which is strange. There was a related recall in 2019, in which I did take my vehicle into a dealership, and it was supposed to have been taken care of. The code p1c86-92 has to do with the PRNDL Display Circuit Current Out Of Range. I now do not feel safe driving my car, and the dealerships can’t get me in to look at my car, so I’ve been calling all over the area to mechanics that specialize in transmission issues. I can’t in until Sept 6th, and that’s just for another diagnosis BEFORE ordering parts and giving me a quote. When I first had these issues, I began researching the codes. It seems that there are a LOT of people with Dodge Darts having these exact same issues, but no recall has been issued as of yet. Please take care of this. Mechanics and dealerships are way overbooked, some are no longer taking jobs because they’re so backed up, and people like myself with no other vehicle will not have transportation. And I live in a rural community. Getting a recall on these transmission issues would be really helpful, as like I stated, many are having these exact problems. Thank you!
2014 Dodge Dart electrical complaints
Page 2 of 4: complaints 11 to 40 of 74, newest first, as owners wrote them.
In 2019 dodge had a shift cable bushing recall. I had it fixed in 2021 after owning the car for a few months (recall V34) . At this time, 2 years later, I’m experiencing the same problems that would be present with a faulty shift cable bushing which is a major safety concern. My car says it’s not in park when the shifter is indeed in park.
less than 2 years after purchasing this vehicle brand new my car started consuming oil and actually caused my car to die in the middle of the road. Chrysler ended up completely replacing my engine due to scoring found in the pistons. In the last year I have done another oil consumption and feel just under the threshold of what Chrysler deems "bad enough". They did an update and it has not been a problem since. In the past few months I have been having issues with my car in park not releasing my key. My car will be in park and I can turn it back 1 notch and it gets stuck in the ACC position. Turns out my shifter cable was damaged and I have replaced that with a $500+ repair. Well unfortunately it didn't completely solve my problem and I will still occasionally have the issue and now they are stating I need to completely replace my shifter and knob assembly. The repairs don't seem to stop...
When placed into park the car does not register it's in park and therefore does not want to shut off. It can take up to 15 minutes to get it off. Seems dangerous since it keeps running and it starts to rev the engine.
When trying to park the car it doesn’t necessarily allow you to turn the car off without moving the shifter around until the car is satisfied and allows you to finally shut down. Also the radio seems to just shut off and on once and awhile.
When driving vehicle at 40+ mph and making a turn the vehicle then stalls, loosing power and the transmission will not resume acceleration after turn is completed. We had to pull the vehicle off the road and out of traffic because of power loss. The vehicle check engine light was illuminated prior to experiencing problem. A dealership in Oklahoma City, OK confirmed a transmission malfunction code.
When I put my vehicle in park, the system doesn’t register that it’s in park and I cannot take out the key. It will show on the gear shift and the dash that my vehicle is in park but internally it doesn’t register.
Car engine is shutting off mid drive it car is not warmed up. And the parking mechanism is not going through when I try to park the car
The gear selected is saying that the car is park but it will not shut off . Had to move the shifter back and forward serval times before it stayed in park had this problem awhile don't think it was ever recalled. Thanks for your support in this matter
I was driving down the highway when the vehicle was idling at a stop light behind several other vehicles. I was feeling hot so I turned off the heater and directly after smoke flooded the cabin. When the light turned green, I proceeded forward as fast as possible to the parking lot and the vehicle caught fire from the passenger side where the cooling system reservoir was near the upper top corner of the passenger side of the vehicle. The vehicle was off and it sounded like the fans/engine was still running despite the key being removed.
On three occasions, my car has completely turned off while the car was on and in drive. On one occasion, in september 2019, I drifted to safety and tried putting my car in park, the shifter effortlessly slid to park mode but the light was on "d" as if it were in drive. I could not take my key out because my car thought it was in drive so I was stuck with my foot on the break, with a car that shut down on me. I couldn't even move the key to try to take it out and restart the car. I brought my car in and "fixed it'. I was told there was a v34 recall and that they replaced the transmission side shifter cable bushing. However, less than a year later it happened again, twice today (june 2020). Once on my way too the gym and once from the gym, back home. On both occasions today, the electronics on the touch screen and the digital display that displays the speed went black and restarted then my car completely died while in drive. Cars piled up behind me. People were honking and angry. I tried moving the shifter to park so I could take my key out and restart but the car locked up on me and I was unable to move the shift or take my key out. I had to wiggle the key out for over a couple min and eventually was able to move the key in park and take it out and restarted my car. It caused a traffic dilemma and was terrifying that my car completely shut down in a not so safe area and on a really busy road during rush hour. How could you sell a car to society that will spontaneously stop? I could have died!
When turning the car off, the key fob gets stuck in the ignition. This sometimes can be resolved by turning the steering wheel, pressing on the brake and adjusting the shifter forward to click into park. It's as if the shifter is not recognizing the car is in park so it will not release the key fob. It could usually by fixed easily, now takes sometimes 1-3 minutes; which includes restarting the car and putting it in reverse or drive and back into park. It happens frequently & then will stop for a few days. I took my car to the dealership last week for this issue and the transmission slipping from drive to neutral while I'm driving and they 'couldn't duplicate the problem' as they stated. However, just the past two days it's happening again. This is similar to the issue from the 2019 recall for the bushing cables. There is an obvious issue as this is not normal. I don't know what to do to fix this if the dealership says they can't find a problem. Is there a new recall or other similar complaints? Especially from other dodge dart owners who also had a part repaired in 2019 due to the last recall?
Tl* the contact owns a 2014 dodge dart. The contact stated received notification of the federal safety agency campaign number: 19v293000 (power train). The contact took the vehicle to stevens creek chrysler jeep dodge ram (4100 stevens creek blvd, san jose, ca 95129) for the recall repair, however, the vehicle failed to start after it was returned. The dealer agreed to repair the vehicle and had the battery replaced. The contact then received another unknown recall notification and returned to the dealer for the repair. Upon return of the vehicle, the vehicle again failed to start. The dealer then informed the contact that the starter failure was due to a defective transmission assembly, a part that was not covered under the recall. The manufacturer had been notified of the failure and referred the contact to the federal safety agency for assistance. The transmission assembly was not repaired. The failure mileage was 75,000.
On numerous occasions I have gotten into my vehicle, started it and drove off. Now, if I do not let it warm up for a few minutes and get in and start it and take off, it will stall out when I slow down or come to a stop on a few occasions this has happened leaving my driveway on a blind hill, almost getting me hit in the drivers door. Yesterday, 2/12/2020, this again happened and it stalled out on me two times, once while turning around leaving me sideways across the road. It has happened at very busy intersections, it is just random.I feel it needs to be looked into. I did look it up and see numerous people are reporting the same issues. Last time this happened was on 2/12/2020 while leaving my driveway each time, the car was in drive when it stalled and pulling out of my driveway or intersection.
Car not running properly or even functioning due to an issue with the body control module. Running rough, screen to GPS blacking out. No ability to even turn the heat off/on when malfunctioning. These are all things that occur either when idling or the car is in motion.
When putting the car in park, the car doesn't turn off. We brought it to the dealer to get a recall done, but the problem was never fixed. I think dodge just sent the notice and lied about how to fix the problem. The dealer, suresky, wanted to charge to have the diagnostics done on the car, but since the recall was never fixed, I don't want to pay for the diagnostics. The same problem still exists.
Tl* the contact owns a 2014 dodge dart. While driving 30 MPH, the vehicle began to lose power. The contact depressed the accelerator pedal, but the vehicle failed to accelerate. The contact pulled the vehicle over and noticed that the battery warning indicator was illuminated. The contact was able to start the ignition and heard an abnormal noise. The contact was able to drive home. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic, but they were unable to duplicate the failure. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The dealer and manufacturer were not notified. The failure mileage was 50,405.
Tl* the contact owns a 2014 dodge dart. While driving various speeds, the vehicle shut off without warning. Afterwards, the vehicle would sometimes restart and other times it would take multiple attempts to restart. The contact took the vehicle to an independent mechanic, but they were unable to diagnose the vehicle. The manufacturer and dealer were not notified. The vehicle had not been repaired. The failure mileage was approximately 70,000. The VIN was unknown.
My grand mother was driving her 2014 dodge dart and her electronic dash cluster quit working while she was driving. The dash cluster in her car is the speedometer and all necessary gauges and displays. When we took the car to the dealer the dealer said that it was a known issue but they said that there was nothing they could do. I think this is similar to the recent recall on the new dodge's that had a recall on the dash clusters also. The dealer also said that the dash clusters were on backorder because they are replacing that many of them. My grandma was driving in town less than 35 MPH zone. She said that the display was there then gone. She was not sure what happened. She was not sure what was working or not working on her car she made it home and parked the car.
I was driving my car in town and all of a sudden the dash cluster quit working. I was driving about 30 MPH on a small town city street. When I took my car to the dealership for repair they said that is a very common problem. If it is a very common problem they took a week to get the parts because they can't make them to repair the cars as the dash clusters are failing.
My grandma was driving her car in town and the dash cluster quit working. I tried checking fuses and did not find anything simple to fix the dash cluster to quit working. She took the car to the local dodge dealer where the car was purchased. When they asked what happened explained that the dash cluster just quit working. They said that is very common issue. I think it is a safety issues because you can't see anything no MPH, gauges of any sort fuel, temperature. When operating the car you have to guess when the dash cluster is not working.
This has now happened 3 times and has been taken to a mechanic every single time to get fixed. Every single time I am driving, I slow down to turn around a corner, my engine completely stops, vehicle speed slows down, everything else works fine. Will not restart, needs jumped every single time. Each time I've been left in the road hoping not to get hit. I've read multiple complaints about this everywhere. If an accident or a bigger problem comes out of this, I will be suing. I've already spent hundreds of dollars on this problem. Somebody needs to do something about this before my bank account or my car is wrecked.
On april 17, 2019, when arriving at destination, I attempted to shift gears into park. However, gears shifted into reverse permanently. I called my siblings to assist with getting the car out of reverse, the handle would move but the gears would not change. The only way we could get the car to stop was with the emergency break. We turned off the ignition, but all lights stayed on and we could not remove the key from the ignition. The only way to get the key out was to unhook the battery. I contacted the manufacturer the following day on april 18th, and they advised of a recall for shift cable bushing. I asked how long the process would take, they stated they would mail a letter to advise how to set up appointment, they would have to order parts. I called back on april 25th to inquire once again about how long the process usually takes, and they did not advise of a time frame. I advised the representative that my car cannot be driven at all, and asked if I were to get a rental car or get my car fixed myself would I be reimbursed. The representative advised that there is no guarantee. I've contacted the manufacturer once again on may 8, 2019. Representative advised that the part has still not been ordered and there is no estimated time.
I bought this car brand from the dealer. It has stalled on me and on occasions, it does nothing when I turn the key to start. Total electrical defect. Sent lemon law form and only got a new battery from chrysler. The car still doesn't idle or run right. In the stalling scenario, the car was in motion. In the no start it was in park. I now have 117,000 miles on the car and feel defenseless to get a resolution. On occasions, the charging system light will come on as I turn the key off.
The car started randomly shutting off, at a stop or wouldn't start all together. After about a week of random stalling and shut offs, I took it to a mechanic. He said that it has a manufacturers defect where the car thinks it has low oil, it doesn't even have to be low. Have been adding oil and checking consistently for about a month and recently it refused to turn on. Got a jump and the car started. Had the battery and alternator checked at auto parts store , car started up no problem, and both were fine, battery fully charged. Not more than 10 minutes after testing the car would not turn on. Jumped it and it started, drove home. Again, tried to start it a few hours later and nothing, needed another jump. Used a scanner to check for computer issues and nothing came up. After driving the car about 10 miles, shut it off and again needed a jump. The car seems to just shut off or not start for no real reason. One mechanic could not figure out the issue, the other had it a couple of weeks before blaming the oil issue and now this. No recalls on this car, already checked the VIN number. Not sure what to do about this car at this point without spending more on it than it is worth. 2014 dodge dart, 98,000 miles
Tl* the contact owns a 2014 dodge dart. While driving various speeds, the vehicle lost power and stalled. Also, the battery indicator illuminated. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic, but they were unable to identify the cause of the failure. The contact called keller motors inc (1795 s perryville blvd, perryville, mo 63775, (573) 547-1002) and was informed that the VIN was not included in any recalls. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was contacted via email, but they did not respond. The failure mileage was 129,059.
For the last 4 months my vehicle shuts off as I'm driving. After 3 trips to the dealership for a few test they determine that due to low oil consumption the car has a sensor that shuts off the engine while driving. During one of these incidents my vehicle turned off as I was approaching an intersection in which the brakes did not work which lead me to slowly roll into the intersection on a red light. Luckily it was morning rush hour so no accidents occurred. I truly believe this vehicle needs to be recalled it's a safety hazard not only for me but also for others
Purchased 2014 dodge dart from subaru of cherry hill, nj dealership 5/2019 @ 44,000mi. Used. Excellent carfax. Since ownership, vehicle has stopped twice; once while slowed down to make a left turn, and again while stopped at a red light. Battery light did not come on either time. 3rd time vehicle didn't start after being parked for approximately 10 hrs. Needed to be jumped. After first incident of stopping, vehicle was towed to mechanic; couldn't find problem. Battery checked out as ok. Oil change performed at 47,351mi. Also, since being purchased, a slightly sweet smell comes out of fan. Does not go away. Concerned that the vehicle will stop while on a highway, causing a multi-vehicle crash. This seems very unsafe. Upon investigation, no recall was noted. Dealership called to discuss further without response. This is a very dangerous situation and there needs to be a recall. Many other drivers seem to have the same issues when searched online. Please help! Most recent episode was 2/13/19.
I recently purchased my dodge dart 2014 in august of 2018. I purchased the car with around 26,000 miles on it. Great condition, excellent mileage, no accidents, and only one owner. I have only had the car for 5 months. I use it mainly as a commuter car. It started having issues almost as soon as we got it. They were first minor things. Until november 2018. My cars battery died and refused to start. I had to replace out of pocket due to it not being covered by warranty. It was having issues starting, I thought that it was due to it being cold (because it would be fine once it heated up), so at first thought nothing of it. It would start up and I would drive it less then a mile, I would start to slow down and everything would shut off. The heater and the lights would still be on but it would loose acceleration and the battery light would come on. It will do this multiple times until the car is warm(even then it will continue to do it afterward). Rpm drops to zero, check engine, electronic throttle control, and battery light all come on. This is a safety hazard due to it stopping in traffic, on the highway, and in intersections. Something needs to be done about this issue. I have read up on this issue and see that I lot of people have this issue. My car is currently at 24% oil life, I will be testing to see if the issue is resolved(temporarily) like others have been. Due to fear of it not being covered under warranty I have not taken it to the dealer. They quoted me at $400 dollars for everything that could possibly be wrong (based off this information they have an idea of already what is wrong with the car. They still want me to come in and try to charge me for it because it most likely won't be covered by the warranty.
Went to get in my car and the alarm system activated and it will not start. Also the motor consumes oil at an alarming pace to the point I have to take oil with me when I go anywhere. Because if I don't it will get low and the car will lose all power while I'm driving down the road. This is unsafe and needs to be fixed asap especially since I have kids. Car still will not start
