2014 Dodge Dart problems
The Dodge Dart is a line of large passenger cars produced by Dodge from the 1959 to 1976 model years in North America, with production extended to later years in various other markets.
Chrysler first used 'Dart' name plates on two Italian styled show cars, in 1956 and 1957, before it became a Dodge model name.
The production Dodge Dart was introduced as a lower-priced full-size model in 1960 and 1961, but became a mid-size car for one model year for 1962, and was then reduced to a compact for two generations, from 1963 to 1976.
The Dart nameplate was resurrected for a Fiat-derived compact car that was introduced in 2012.

- Summary: Vehicle VIN [XXX] transmissions shift cable bushing issue. It's broken now. Under a recall. Took vehicle to Bob Moore Dodge in OKC 09/07/2024. They acknowledge the VIN is under recall. The part is broken today. But the part is not available. Per Bob Moore Dodge the part is not available in OKC, or anywhere in the US and may never be available. The y suggested I try going to another Dodge Dealer in town - 20 miles away, David Stanley Dodge, but even then, they admit David Stanley Dodge does not have the part. And they admit the vehicle may not be safe to drive. Mopar site [XXX] clearly shows the parts are available. So I think there is an issue here. Bob Moore Dodge in OKC just does not want to mess with fixing this issue? Or is the Mopar site wrong? So it's a Dodge vehicle. Broken down now. Transmission shift cable no longer attached to the transmission. Recall on this exact issue. I'm told it's not going to be fixed today, tomorrow and perhaps never.

- VIN: 1C3CDFEB7ED
- Components: ELECTRICAL SYSTEM,UNKNOWN OR OTHER,SERVICE BRAKES
- Summary: 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”?

POWER TRAIN,UNKNOWN OR OTHER PROBLEM
- Date Of Incident: 2023-12-18
- VIN: 1C3CDFEB8ED
- Components: POWER TRAIN,UNKNOWN OR OTHER
- Summary: 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.

SERVICE BRAKES,FORWARD COLLISION AVOIDANCE PROBLEM
- Date Of Incident: 2023-10-25
- VIN: 1C3CDFAA8ED
- Components: SERVICE BRAKES,FORWARD COLLISION AVOIDANCE
- Summary: While driving to town, going approximately 35-40 mph, I went to slow down and pressed the brakes and the brake pedal went to the floor. To stop, I had to engage the Emergency Brake. I was almost hit by another vehicle and had to jump the curb to avoid collision and potential injury to myself and my family. This incident was very traumatic and potentially fatal to me and my family. I started checking on the recalls, and investigations, complaints for my 2014 Dodge Dart SD. I found other people had made complaints to you for the same issue. Total brake failure. At this time I have not had my car towed to the dealership for inspection and repairs. But I will update you on the details and provide you with the inspection report from the dealership as soon as they complete the inspection. There were no signs that the brakes were not working properly, no lights, no alarms , nothing. Only a pedal that went completely to the floor of my vehicle, causing immediate panic and confusion as to what was happening. It took a moment to realize that the brakes were on the floor and not engaging while oncoming traffic through the traffic light barely missed me. The parking lot that I was attempting to turn into luckily had no one pulling out or there would most certainly have been a collision between two or more vehicles. I used the emergency brake to get the vehicle stopped so that I didn’t crash into the storefront. Myself and my son were traumatized when we realized that how lucky we were to have avoided a potential life altering injury or death for ourselves or others.

POWER TRAIN,ELECTRICAL SYSTEM,UNKNOWN OR OTHER PROBLEM
- Date Of Incident: 2023-08-03
- VIN: 1C3CDFAA4ED
- Components: POWER TRAIN,ELECTRICAL SYSTEM,UNKNOWN OR OTHER
- Summary: 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!

- Date Of Incident: 2022-09-01
- VIN: 1C3CDFBBXED
- Components: POWER TRAIN,ELECTRICAL SYSTEM,ENGINE
- Summary: 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...

Negative 2014 Dodge Dart car reviews
Positive 2014 Dodge Dart car reviews
-
I love everything about this car. It handles very well, even above 100mph with no shaking or extra vibrating. Great gas mileage highway or city. It's spacious, comfortable, and just really fun to drive.
-
I purchased my 2014 Dodge Dart SXT 2.0 over 3 and a half years ago as I needed a reliable car for my 90-mile daily commute. Although I had some concerns about the car's handling, as it would sway and ride the grooves in the road, I was able to resolve the issue by adding some weight to the car. Since then, I have had no issues with the car's performance. The car's sound system, Bluetooth, and UConnect are all fantastic, and I appreciate that it doesn't have a touch screen. While it may be a little slow to accelerate, it more than makes up for it with its excellent gas mileage. Overall, I am very happy with my Dodge Dart and would highly recommend it to anyone looking for a reliable and efficient car.
-
The Limited model is definitely worth considering if you have any reservations about this car compared to the luxury European entry models. It offers all the amenities of many higher-end compacts at a lower price point and is a joy to drive.
-
Hi there! I just wanted to share my experience with my 2014 SXT. I bought it with only 22 miles on it and now, as of 8/1/2019, it has over 350,000 miles on it! I've only had to replace the spark plugs once, brake pads once, 3 batteries, head lights, blinkers, and the struts once. Other than that, just normal maintenance. I love my Dart so much that if I wasn't in need of a larger car, I would definitely buy another one!

Everyone takes notice! Your ride is amazing and so fast! Maybe even too fast for my age. I have to admit, I've made her angry a few times with the way I drive. But hey, she's a 6 shift! Save the manuals!

Are you having problems with your 2014 Dodge Dart?

I am extremely dissatisfied with this vehicle due to multiple issues. The engine malfunction light came on within 200 miles due to a faulty oil pressure sensor. Although it was replaced, the light continues to come on. Additionally, the computer sometimes prevents the car from accelerating over 4000 rpms, which is a major safety concern. The battery light also dings and flashes on the dash annoyingly in cold weather. We are currently going through the lemon law process as I refuse to pay over $18k for a new car that is not functioning properly.

The 2014 Dart Aero with automatic transmission that I purchased in May of that year turned out to be a disappointment. Despite its lively and fuel-efficient engine, great handling, and impressive fuel economy (46 mpg was my best tank), the car's quality was subpar. In the six months that I owned it, the emission control kept turning on the check engine light, and the Active Body Control unit went haywire, causing me to spend 2 1/2 months in the shop. The transmission was also problematic, and the interior plastics started creaking after only 600 miles. Additionally, the front of the car had numerous paint chips. As a result, I decided to trade it in for a 2015 Honda Civic, even though I took a small financial hit due to the low resale value of Dodges. Overall, I am confident that I made the right decision in getting rid of the car.

You did a great job with the performance, but I understand that the comfort could have been better. I noticed that the steering wheel did tilt, but unfortunately not far enough, which was a bit annoying as it was right in my line of sight. Additionally, I found that the armrest was too far away, which made it difficult to drive comfortably with my arm hanging in the air.

undefinedIn the past 6 years, I have spent over $10,000 on repairs that were not part of regular maintenance. I became a regular at two dealership service centers and another shop, and they all knew me by name. If I hadn't been so upside down in my loan, I would have gotten rid of my little Pumpkin years ago. Finally, I am free of it and I have never felt so at ease. If you are considering buying a Dodge Dart, I would suggest looking elsewhere!

My 2014 SXT has a serious safety issue. It shuts down without warning while driving at speeds above 45 mph, leaving me with no control over the brakes, gas, or steering. Despite having the PCM update, the problem persists and my car has been in the shop for a month. This is unacceptable and a serious concern for my safety and the safety of others on the road.
