TAKATA RECALL THIS 2014 DODGE DART AERO HAS NOW HAD MULTIPLE PROBLEMS WITH THE CLUTCH AND AXLES. IT IS CURRENTLY IN THE SHOP TO HAVE THE SLAVE CYLINDER FOR THE CLUTCH AS WELL AS THE AXLES FIXED FOR THE SECOND TIME IN 2 YEARS. THEY ARE ALSO IN THE PROCESS OF CHECKING IN TO WHY THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON FOR THE MASS AIR FLOW SENSOR. THIS MAKES 2 TIMES THAT IT HAS GONE TO THE SHOP FOR CLUTCH AND AXLE ISSUES. THEY ALSO DON'T KNOW WHAT THE REAL PROBLEM IS FOR THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT. I HAVE ASKED THEM TO BUY THE CAR BACK AND THEY WONT. THEY ALSO STATED THAT I MAY BE HAVING TO PAY SOME OUT OF POCKET TO GET MY CAR FIXED THIS TIME. THIS CAR IS NOTHING BUT PROBLEMS. LIKE I MENTIONED BEFORE; TWICE FOR THE CLUTCH AND AXLES, THE ENGINE LIGHT IS ON FOR A REASON THEY DON'T KNOW OTHER THAT THEY THINK IT IS THE MASS AIR FLOW SENSOR, THE THIRD TIME I TOOK IT TO DODGE FOR AN OIL CHANGE THEY TOLD ME THAT NO OIL CAME OUT OF THE ENGINE AND THEN TRIED TO EXPLAIN TO ME THAT MY ENGINE WAS "KNOWN" TO DO THAT. NOW I HAVE JUST GOTTEN OFF THE PHONE WITH THE MANUFACTURER CUSTOMER SERVICE AND THEY REPLIED WITH THEY WILL COVER ALL THE COSTS EXCEPT FOR $100. SEEMS KIND OF ODD TO SETTLE ON THAT AMOUNT. PLUS THEY WONT BUY IT BACK. THEREFORE, THIS CAR IS KNOWN TO HAVE CLUTCH AND ENGINE PROBLEMS AND DODGE EXPECTS ME TO DRIVE AROUND NOT HAVING TO WORRY ABOUT IF MY LIFE IS AT RISK. I SHOULD ALSO MENTION THAT THE TIRES THAT CAME ON THE CAR WERE FAULTY AS WELL AS I HAD TO REPLACE TWO OF THEM ALREADY. THE BANDS ON THE INSIDE OF THE TIRE CAME LOOSE AND CAUSED PROBLEMS WITH THE DRIVING AS WELL. THIS IS JUNKER CAR THAT I PURCHASED NEW AND DODGE COULD CARE LESS THAT IT IS FALLING APART.

WHILE DRIVING MY 2014 DODGE DART, THE CLUTCH DROPPED COMPLETELY TO THE FLOOR BOARD IN BETWEEN SHIFTING FROM SECOND TO THIRD GEAR MAKING SHIFTING IMPOSSIBLE, WHILE I WAS DRIVING UP A 2 LANE HILL IN MY NEIGHBORHOOD. THERE WAS NO SHOULDER TO PULL OVER TO AT THE MOMENT THE CLUTCH DROPPED, CAUSING ME TO HAVE TO REACH DOWN AND GRAB IT WITH MY LEFT HAND. I WAS UNABLE TO RE ENGAGE THE CLUTCH, THUS STAYED IN SECOND GEAR UNTIL I REACHED THE TOP OF THE HILL WHERE A SHOULDER BECAME AVAILABLE. I GENTLY USED THE BRAKE TO SLOW THE CAR DOWN WHILE IN THE SHOULDER UNTIL THE CARE STALLED OUT. AFTER SITTING IN THE CARE FOR SEVERAL MINUTES I TRIED TO START MY CAR BUT WAS UNABLE TO BECAUSE OF THE CLUTCH RESTING ON THE FLOOR BOARD, I WAS ABLE TO PULL IT UP WITH MY HAND AND UPON RELEASE IT WOULD FALL BACK TO THE FLOOR BOARD. AFTER SEVERAL MORE MINUTES THE CLUTCH SEEMED TO CORRECT ITSELF, LETTING ME STAT MY CAR AND RESUME MY TRIP HOME, APPROXIMATELY 1 MILE FURTHER. WHILE CONTINUING MY TRIP, THE CLUTCH SEEMED TO LOOSE "PRESSURE" AND HAD TO PRESS THE CLUTCH COMPLETELY TO THE FLOOR BOARD IN ORDER TO SHIFT. THIS IS THE SECOND TIME THIS ISSUE HAS COM UP, THE FIRST TIME BEING REPAIRED IN JULY 2015.

RQ25002 · Recall 19V-293 Post Remedy Failures

Opened Jun 30, 2025 · Closed Dec 12, 2025

Status: closed (inferred from source dates) · Power Train:automatic Transmission:lever And Linkage:floor Shift; Power Train:shift Linkage/cable/rod; Power Train:shift Linkage/cable/rod:retaining Fasteners/hardware

On June 30, 2025, the Office of Defects Investigations (ODI) opened RQ25002 to investigate and review the effectiveness of Recall 19V-293. This recall was intended to address deterioration and detachment of shifter cable bushings by replacing them with an improved bushing that is less susceptible to deterioration from chemicals, oils, and solvents in MY2013-2016 Dodge Dart vehicles equipped with automatic transmissions and manufactured by Fiat Chrysler Automotive US LLC (FCA US). If the shifter cable becomes detached from the transmission, the transmission gear position may not match the driver’s intended gear selection. This mismatch could result in unintended vehicle movement or rollaway when the driver believes the transmission is in PARK, increasing the risk of a crash and/or injury. ODI has received sixty-three (63) Vehicle Owner Questionnaires (VOQ) alleging worn or misadjusted shifter cables and/or shifter cable detachments in subject vehicles that had already received the remedy for Recall 19V-293. Complainants reported incidents of bushing deterioration and detachment, resulting in gear-selection mismatch despite the prior recall repair, raising concerns regarding the effectiveness and durability of the implemented remedy and the adequacy of the recall. ODI’s investigation sought to determine whether the remedy used in recall 19V-293 adequately addressed the cause of the failure and whether other vehicles using the same bushing design might be affected. In response, FCA US and Dura Automotive Systems Inc. (Dura) determined that the repair for Recall 19V-293 did not sufficiently address the issue, and therefore, a safety defect exists in the subject vehicle population. As a result, FCA US and Dura initiated the following recall actions: ·         Recall 25V-674 (FCA US) is intended to address MY 2013–2016 Dodge Dart vehicles repaired under 19V-293 or otherwise equipped with suspect service parts. Remedy is under development. ·         Recall 25E-065 (Dura) is intended to address the defect at the equipment level by recalling affected gearshift control cable assemblies distributed as service components. Remedy is under development. The recalls initiated by FCA US (25V-674), and Dura Automotive Systems Inc. (25E-065) were received prior to ODI sending an Information Request (IR) letter to FCA. These two recalls seem to resolve the concerns that prompted investigation RQ25002 by replacing the previously recalled and service-supplied shifter cable assembly with an improved design, currently under development. The vehicle scope concern identified in this query was addressed by the new recalls including all Model Year 2013–2016 Dodge Dart vehicles produced and equipped with the affected shifter cable assembly. Accordingly, ODI is closing Investigation RQ25002. The agency will continue to monitor field performance and recall completion data to evaluate the effectiveness of the new remedy. ODI reserves the right to take additional action if warranted by future circumstances. To review the ODI reports cited in the Closing Resume ODI Report Identification Number document, go to NHTSA.gov.

(Dura) determined that the repair for Recall 19V-293 did not sufficiently address the issue, and therefore, a safety defect exists in the subject vehicle population. As a result, FCA US and Dura initiated the following recall actions: ·         Recall 25V-674 (FCA US) is intended to address MY 2013–2016 Dodge Dart vehicles repaired under 19V-293 or otherwise equipped with suspect service parts. Remedy is under development. ·         Recall 25E-065 (Dura) is intended to address the defect at the equipment level by recalling affected gearshift control cable assemblies distributed as service components. Remedy is under development. The recalls initiated by FCA US (25V-674), and Dura Automotive Systems Inc. (25E-065) were received prior to ODI sending an Information Request (IR) letter to FCA. These two recalls seem to resolve the concerns that prompted investigation RQ25002 by replacing the previously recalled and service-supplied shifter cable assembly with an improved design, currently under development. The vehicle scope concern identified in this query was addressed by the new recalls including all Model Year 2013–2016 Dodge Dart vehicles produced and equipped with the affected shifter cable assembly. Accordingly, ODI is closing Investigation RQ25002. The agency will continue to monitor field performance and recall completion data to evaluate the effectiveness of the new remedy. ODI reserves the right to take additional action if warranted by future circumstances.

On June 30, 2025, the Office of Defects Investigations (ODI) opened RQ25002 to investigate and review the effectiveness of Recall 19V-293. This recall was intended to address deterioration and detachment of shifter cable bushings by replacing them with an improved bushing that is less susceptible to deterioration from chemicals, oils, and solvents in MY2013-2016 Dodge Dart vehicles equipped with automatic transmissions and manufactured by Fiat Chrysler Automotive US LLC (FCA US). If the shifter cable becomes detached from the transmission, the transmission gear position may not match the driver’s intended gear selection. This mismatch could result in unintended vehicle movement or rollaway when the driver believes the transmission is in PARK, increasing the risk of a crash and/or injury. ODI has received sixty-three (63) Vehicle Owner Questionnaires (VOQ) alleging worn or misadjusted shifter cables and/or shifter cable detachments in subject vehicles that had already received the remedy for Recall 19V-293. Complainants reported incidents of bushing deterioration and detachment, resulting in gear-selection mismatch despite the prior recall repair, raising concerns regarding the effectiveness and durability of the implemented remedy and the adequacy of the recall. ODI’s investigation sought to determine whether the remedy used in recall 19V-293 adequately addressed the cause of the failure and whether other vehicles using the same bushing design might be affected.
