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

Engine stalls while driving by model year
What owners say
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”?
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.
Unknown....transmission fluid reservoir was not holding the fluid and leaking it out and I didn't know of this til my car all of a sudden would not go as I pressed on the gas and then it jerk out of nowhere and it sped up all on its own and I almost rear ended the vehicle in front of me but I steered to side of road and it was still reving up and then stalled and I had no power steering power and brakes were hard to use. There was no pressure warning signs this car was running perfectly fine before this happened. No low fluid notification no check engine light or anything.
2014 dodge dart purchased new. Was driving vehicle on city street and came to stop and car just stalled on me with no warning which was very scary. Vehicle would not stop stalling so took to dealership and the technician said it would cost at least a thousand to take car apart as they believe it is a internal engine problem. It sucks cause now my car is out of warranty and by doing some searching looks like this is not a new problem to dodge but nothing was ever done about it. My car is in great condition with only 60,000 miles.
Car spontaneously stalled in highway driving. Seems to be a known issue. 2013 darts were actually recalled over the issue. Incredibly dangerous. Dodge should be required to recall the 2014s just like they recalled the 2013s.
Vehicle stalls while driving, happens multiple times. Plenty of fuel and oil level is within operational standards.
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.
Every morning after I start my car I drive down the street and it stalls mid traffic. It does it multiple times. I have to drive around my neighborhood til vehicle stalls 4-5 times then drives ok. Safety issue. I have noticed that some of the cars have been recalled but not mine
Car is burning oil causing it to stall.
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.
Car stalls without warning in all sorts of scenarios, just started, turning, stopping, up hill or down hill. Multiple inquiries with chrysler corporate and dealerships resulted in them telling me the car is engineered to allow 1qt of oil burned every 750 miles, per spec sheet I had to firmly demand to be able to see it. Was basically told there is no problem that my car dies in the middle of an intersection with my family in it, thereby the potential for a major catastrophic deadly situation is there. Chyrsler corporate cases were closed with no resolution and they nearly made me pay for the inquiry. This is all apparently hidden in the chrysler tsb - 09-001-12. My car had 25,000 miles and was needing about 7-8 quarts between oil changes according to the car's built in oil life meter which is intended to be used.
