2014 Dodge Dart: complete transmission failure

Filed Jan 9, 2024 · Transmission · WI

I purchased a 2014 Dodge Dart from this business on 08/10/2019. I drove the vehicle for only 1.5 years and then garaged it to give to my daughter later. I put only 20,000 miles on the vehicle. There were several issues during the short time that I had the vehicle. The tire pressure warning went on, and the clutch would stick to the floor. I had the pressure warning 'fixed' at Chrysler World only to have the same malfunction within a week. The clutch issue was due to a recall that I didn't qualify for as I did not purchase the vehicle new from the original dealership. I gave the vehicle to my daughter on 12/18/2023 and the clutch and transmission went out causing her to stop in the middle of the highway. I paid $105 to have the vehicle towed to my local Dodge dealership. The local dealership informed me that the clutch and transmission would need to be replaced for the amount of about $6100. Along with some other recall work on the computer and cat converter which would be free to me. I then emailed and called Chrysler World on 01/02/2024 to see if they would assist with the repair as I felt that this particular vehicle was totally flawed. The salesman advised he would call back on 01/03/24. That would work as I advised my local dealer that I would let them know within a day if they should continue and perform the maintenance. I did not hear from Chrysler World so I did ok the work which is underway. I did receive a call from Chrysler World on 01/08/24. Long after I would have had to let the local dealership know about continuing with the repairs. Chrysler World Indicated that they could not help in any way as it had been too long since the purchase.

My car has been at dewey since july 23rd for a service transmission light. When I dropped my car off, it was plugged into the computer and I was told that the code that popped up was for a recall on a transmission module and once the service tech looked at it, I would receive a call regarding any costs and time of repair. As I was leaving on vacation for the week, I was not too concerned. Saturday 7/25 - I received a call that a part was on order and the car should be ready monday or tuesday. Again, as I was on vacation, I said that would be just fine. I started calling and texting my service advisor, trent, thursday (7/30) morning. I did not hear anything from him until saturday (8/1). He stated he forgot to call me but that there was a problem with my car. He said the module was replaced and when they went to start the car, there was no power. The electrical system is fried. He said that the lead tech would look at it monday and we would go from there. Tuesday 8/4 - I received a call from trent that the lead tech needed to reach out to chrysler for assistance. Friday 8/7 - received a call that chrysler was sending another module and it should be there monday. Monday 8/8 - we had the storm and I didn't hear anything which is understandable. Thursday 8/6 - received a call that the module did not work. Chrysler decided to send a whole new transmission. It will be here monday or tuesday and will know more by end of the week. Monday 8/10 - email sent to gm at dewey expressing concern. Spoke with him regarding trading in car or additional warranty on my car. Told no additional warranty will be given. Transfer to sales. Thursday 8/13 - told my car would be ready early next week. Wednesday 8/17 - called service again. Were told not sure that the new transmission even arrived. Will call back. Drive through the dealership and my car is just sitting outside in the lot.

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!

Purchased the dodge dart rallye in july 2014. Dec 2014 the engine blew because of oil sludge in the engine. The dealership replaced the engine. The car was in the shop for 30+ days.feb 2014 the car would not start. After several attempts a loud noise and white puff of smoke came from the engine and the car started. Drove it directly to the dealership.they looked at it and said nothing was wrong it could of been condensation.a month later the electric inside the car wasn't working. I took the car back and they said nothing was wrong. I also brought the car back because the engine was very loud and it was very difficult to shift into gear.they said the tires needed to be replaced and that is what was causing the loud noise. I replaced the tires and still had the loud noise and difficultly shifting. Each time I went to the dealership with these problems they made me feel stupid. Then on the evening of nov 29, 2015 with my 3 kids in the car, the transmission blew up. Clutch went to the floor extremely loud noises, metal pieces shooting out everywhere. I pulled over and shut the engine and we ran for our lives. There was liquid all over the road. Huge white puff of smoke covered the entire block. Metal bolts and pieces everywhere. We towed it to the dealership. Then on tues the service mgr called me and said it is not covered under warranty because it was caused by driver error. Said I was driving the car rough or someone was.. I am the only one who drives my car. I am a mother of 3 in my 40's and use my car for clients when showing houses. I have no idea what he means by rough driving. I asked him to explain and he said I don't know popping the clutch??? Not knowing how to drive a manual. Which I learned on one and had one ever since. They refuse to pay for rental car and refuse to fix the car. The car also has body damage from the shooting bolts.
