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.

There is oil coming from the brake booster vacuum pump into the brake booster. Caused the brake booster to fail. The recall stops in January but I think it should be extended

Parking Brake does not release caliper. Fault is in the caliper. The arm that the parking brake cable pulls does not return to the free position. I have replace 3 calipers on each side of the vehicle for the same issue. My wife had a 2015 Dodge Dart GT, I replaced 2 on hers before we sold it.

I was driving down a steep hill when I heard a loud pop and my brakes light came on and a message quickly flashed across my dash so fast I couldn-??t even read it but I lost all brakes. Luckily I was driving a standard so I was able to down shift and use the hand brake to stop.

I was driving down a very steep hill when I lost all brakes in my vehicle. I took it to the shop and the said that oil had gotten into my my brakes master cylinder and it caused the brakes to go out. Luckily I drive a standard and I was able to stop by down shifting and using the hand brake. It was fixed. Not even a full year ago it happened again. I was at a stop light and I heard a very loud pop again and my brake light came on and an instant message flashed across my dash that I didn-??t even have time to read that-??s how quickly it happened. I once again took it to the same shop and it was the same issue. I have had Mopar in on this and reported it to them both times. I am afraid I will be driving my car and lose brakes at a high speed.

Car is experiencing a fluctuating brake pedal. At times, I will have to depress the brake down to the floor to get the vehicle to stop properly. Other times... it is fine and normal pedal pressure is present. Fluid level is fine. It is a bit disconcerting when you go to hit the brakes and the brake pedal goes to the floor before you have enough pressure to stop the car. My fear is that in a situation where I need to brake quickly, it could potentially cause an accident.

Brakes completely failed while car was stationary. At 75,000 miles master cylinder & power brake booster failed. Car was purchased new also. Seems to be re-occurring problem on these Dodge Darts. Recall should be issued before someone gets killed

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.

My etc light will turn on if I take off too quickly to get up to speed with traffic. It has also started to turn off whenever I hit the brakes too abruptly. This is a huge safety issue and Dodge will not even look at it unless I pay them 125 dollars. I shouldn't have to pay for something that is clearly not my fault. It is a manufacturer issue that needs to be addressed before someone gets hurt or sued!

The parking brake is inoperable. The emergency brake mechanism in the rear calipers has become seized and pulling the E-brake lever will not engage the emergency brakes, which allows the vehicle to roll freely. Prior model year (2013) already have an active recall for this issue, however newer model years (2014-2016) do not.

Vehicle made weird noises as soon as it was put in drive shortly after being turned on. Was driving on a 45 mph road when I could no longer accelerate after the first gear while turning into the freeway. Was forced to pull over and restart the vehicle which was able to put into first gear and after second gear began to rev up an no acceleration happened. Was unable to make it to work and tried to test it 'out again, but unfortunately its still failing. My vehicle is undrivable and now need to pay out of pocket for repairs of a recall that is still "pending". mine & my children's safety was on the line. We were lucky it was not rush hour. I have attached the letter I received from the fac us llc stating this is a defected vehicle. Which is a letter in accordance with the ntmvsa.

Brakes faild

- Phoenix, AZ, USA

Issue #1: brakes when attempting to come to a stop (whether it be a red light, a stop sign, or a sudden stop due to heavy traffic on the highway) the brakes fail to fully grasp making me susceptible to ramming the person in front of me from behind. Issue #2: engine? on two separate occasions, the car has suddenly just shut off while driving. There is no prior warning to this occurring. Engine just completely shuts off and that leads me to sudden misses in being hit from both incoming traffic and traffic from behind. Battery is brand new so that is not the issue, especially since the car will eventually start after several attempts. I took it to my local mechanic who was unable to duplicate the issue. First time it happened was in August 2018, the past time it happened was November 2018.
