2014 Dodge Dart — Known Issues & Recalls

Your shift cable disconnected while driving, leaving your car stuck in reverse with no way to shift to park or turn off the engine—creating a safety hazard. You had to pay out of pocket to have Dodge replace the shift cable at a repair shop, but then received a recall notice for the exact same problem two days later. Dodge refused to reimburse you because they said there's no official remedy available yet, even though you fixed the recalled component in an emergency situation.

Your gear shifter is stuck and difficult to move from Park to Reverse or Park to Drive. You received a recall notice about this issue, but your dealer told you the replacement parts aren't available yet. The repair typically involves replacing the shift cable or related transmission linkage components.

Your 2014 Dodge Dart won't start and won't shift into Park properly, even though no warning lights appear. You may need to shift the gear shifter multiple times to get the vehicle to start or drive. There's a recall (NHTSA Campaign 25V674000) for this powertrain issue, but the repair parts aren't available yet from your dealer.

Your car won't properly shift into park, and the key won't release from the ignition. A shop replaced your ignition switch and Dodge reprogrammed it, but the problem persisted—Dodge later confirmed the gear shifter cable is the actual cause. However, Dodge refused to repair it, claiming there's no available remedy for the issue.

Your car's gear shift is stuck and won't move into Park—the indicator on the dashboard is showing Reverse instead. This sounds similar to a previous recall issue involving the transmission cable bushing that was supposed to be fixed.

You received a recall notice for your 2014 Dodge Dart's powertrain (Campaign 25V674000), but the dealership told you the replacement part wasn't available yet. You're concerned that the manufacturer has taken too long to make the part available for the recall repair. You haven't experienced any actual failure with your vehicle yet. The recall repair will likely involve replacing a powertrain component once the part becomes available.

Your Dodge Dart has multiple active recalls that need to be addressed for safety reasons. You've contacted Mopar and several dealerships, but none have followed up or scheduled the repair work despite promises to do so. You're concerned about the safety risk of unresolved recalls and unsure how to move forward. You may need to escalate this through NHTSA or contact Dodge corporate directly to ensure the dealership completes the recalled repairs.

Your car's engine won't turn off when you put it in park and try to shut it down. This is an ongoing issue that prevents normal vehicle shutdown. The problem likely involves the ignition switch, engine control module, or related electrical components that control the engine shutdown sequence.

Your car's shifter cable or bushing broke again, leaving your car stuck in park and unable to drive. This same part was repaired under recall in December 2019, but your Dodge dealer refuses to fix it again because they say the recall coverage expired after 2 years. The repair will likely involve replacing the shifter cable and bushing assembly that connects your shifter to the transmission.

You received a recall notice (U90) for your 2014 Dodge Dart over a year ago, but when you contacted the dealership to schedule the repair, they added you to a waiting list and never called you back—it's now been 10 months with no follow-up. You're frustrated with the lack of communication and want to know why such a large company is taking so long to complete the recall repair. Contact the dealership directly again or reach out to Dodge customer service to get scheduled for the recall service work.

We don't have enough information from your complaint to identify a specific problem with your vehicle. To help you better, please describe what issue you're experiencing — such as unusual noises, warning lights, performance problems, or anything else that prompted you to file this complaint.

Your car's radio won't reliably turn on, the transmission doesn't always shift into park when you want it to, and the ignition key gets stuck in accessory mode instead of locking. These electrical issues suggest a problem with the vehicle's electrical control system that's preventing normal operation of multiple functions. A mechanic will need to diagnose the ignition switch and electrical connections to identify what's causing these intermittent failures.

Your car's body control module (BCM) — the computer that manages electrical functions — may be faulty and could cause electrical system problems. This could affect various features like power windows, locks, lights, or other electrical components. The repair will likely involve replacing the BCM with a new one.

Your brake system isn't locking up properly, and multiple warning lights are staying on — including your ABS (anti-lock brakes), brake lights, and traction control. Your cruise control also isn't working. This combination of warnings suggests a serious issue with your braking and stability control systems that needs immediate diagnosis.

Your car has an open safety recall, but your dealership says there's no available fix for it yet. The dealership has warned you that the problem may make it unsafe to drive. Because of this unresolved safety issue, you're requesting that Dodge buy back the vehicle or provide financial assistance toward a replacement.

Your 2014 Dodge Dart has experienced multiple electrical and engine issues including a non-functioning driver's window, traction control warning light, failure to turn off properly, abnormal engine noise while idling, and excessively high RPM. Additionally, you've noticed oil stains under the vehicle indicating excessive oil consumption, and the fuel door release lever isn't working—requiring you to manually open it from inside the door panel. The dealer inspected the vehicle but didn't perform diagnostics. Repairs may involve diagnosing the electrical system malfunction, inspecting for engine oil leaks, replacing engine seals or gaskets, and repairing the fuel door release mechanism.

Your 2014 Dodge Dart may experience multiple electrical and transmission problems, including difficulty shifting into park, a key fob that takes 5-30 minutes to turn off the car, and starting issues that don't show diagnostic trouble codes. You may have already replaced the battery and key fob without resolving the problems. The underlying issue may involve the brake system, transmission, or related components and could require professional diagnosis beyond standard code-reading.

Your car sometimes won't shift fully into Park after you park it, and the key fob gets stuck in the ignition so the dashboard lights stay on and drain the battery. After waiting 5-45 minutes, you hear a click and can finally turn off the engine and remove the key. This happens frequently enough to be concerning, especially when you're away from home. You've also noticed that after starting the car and putting it in Reverse, it sometimes tries to back up on its own as if the gas pedal is pressed, even though your foot is on the brake. The dealer's diagnostic scanner found no error codes, and replacing the key fob didn't solve the problem. The issue may be related to a known brake cable recall for your vehicle.

Your vehicle is experiencing multiple issues including excessive oil consumption, engine stalling, a blinking mileage display, radio cutting out, a key that won't turn to the off position, difficulty shifting into park, oil pan bolts loosening, and brake shimmy at speeds over 55 mph. A recall has been issued but hasn't resolved these problems. These issues may require diagnosis of the electrical system, engine, and brake components to identify and repair the root causes.

Your key gets stuck in the ignition when the car is in park and won't come out normally. You have to disconnect the negative battery terminal to release it. This suggests an electrical issue with the ignition lock mechanism that needs diagnosis.
