Vacuum pump leaking oil and a burning smell comes through the vents when brakes are pushed, also caused the O2 sensor to go bad and A/C to not work like it should. This happens when driving and you push the brakes to slow down or come to a stop.

Before starting vehicle, clutch pedal goes straight to floor and has to be pulled back up into position. Problem occurs multiple times a week. After clutch is pumped a few times, it regains pressure and is able to be driven. Vehicle has less than 35,000 miles but is over the 5 year warranty. Extended warranty will cover it with a $100 deductible. Dealership advised that I will probably have to pay for a clutch replacement even though there is an extended warranty/ known issue on the master cylinder and hydraulic fluid leaking throughout clutch components. Also had the turbo and exhaust manifold gasket replaced at 20,000 miles after check engine light kept coming on and vehicle lost power. At one point the check engine light came on and the vehicle lost almost all power while trying to merge onto I-95 in Washington DC, almost causing me to be rear ended by another vehicle. It took 4 trips to the dealership for the problem to be recreated and eventually fixed under warranty. The emergency brake stopped working at about 15,000 miles but I was told that my vehicle was not one affected by the caliper recall. Paid for caliper replacement out of pocket. Lots of problems with this car, but dealership keeps telling me they "cannot replicate the issue".

I was on my way to work@ 0730 hrs, traveling on I 294 N/B, at a speed of approx 45/50 mph when I heard a loud pop. As I attempted to reduce my speed, to move out of the flow of traffic, I noticed my brakes were no longer functioning. I pulled the hand break up, which did not respond, I pushed it down and pulled it up a second time, which barely slowed my vehicle, but did allow me to coast to a slow stop on the shoulder. At this time, the hood of the vehicle was engulfed in flames. I exited the vehicle and a man who had been traveling behind me, pulled over to say that he had seen flames coming from my tail pipe, before the engine compartment burst into flame. I immediately called 911. I waited in the rain for Illinois state police and the fire dept to respond. State police report#il 0229900 was made upon the troopers arrival.

Parking brake (emergency brake) caliper failure rear right. 33,062 miles. Within last week or so handle is much easier to pull up. Now, when engaged you feel left side of car goes up and right does not (lopsided). Yesterday, I was driving on a level street and loud clunking noise came from right rear wheel area. Called Chrysler Dodge hotline today and told it was not in the brake caliper recall. I made prior complaints to dealer that the emergency brake would pop out and roll and it was dismissed that I was not pulling up brake properly, but I was. Chysler saw there were only a few complaints (46) regarding the brake calipers for my VIN so it is not in a recall.

The 2013 Dodge Dart with the 1.4L turbo engine was a vehicle made that was made in murphy's law (everything that could go wrong, will go wrong). Since purchasing this used vehicle in 2016 with 43,000 miles on the engine I have had multiple occurrences of mechanical problems. The first issue I have had was the turbo. I had to have the turbo replaced under warranty (common issue). Then, multiple instrument gauge failures. Next, several clutch problems (clutch sticking to the floor even when driving). This issue was not fixed as the dealer does not believe this to be an issue. If researched it will show that this is a common problem thousands have with this vehicle. Then, next set of issues began with multiple caliper seizings. The car was taken to a mechanic other than the dealership. They determined that these parts were faulty and suffered from a recall that effected several cars. When calling customer care for Dodge. They refused to do anything because my VIN was not involved with that specific group of cars. I paid for the repair out of pocket and then suffered through two additional caliper failures. All repairs out of my own pocket. This is also another common issue. Now, I am currently going through a valve cover gasket failure on a vehicle that has been maintained at 75,000 miles (common issue). Now that I am out of warranty on a 5 year/100,000 mile warranty. Dodge claims to have started the warranty in 2012 on a 2013 year vehicle. This vehicle should be listed as one of the most dangerous, expensive, and poorly made vehicles to exist. All of these issues have occurred while driving on a highway almost causing me to crash several times. Through Dodge-Dart.org you will see several dangerous and negligible choices made by Fiat Chrysler and how dangerous this car can be to the public. I believe Dodge should offer an extended warranty up to 10 year/200,000 miles.

Brake booster recall while coming to a stop at a atop sign, my brakes completely gave out. Luckily, I was not going at a high speed, where I was able to engage the emergency brake in order to stop and park my vehicle. I had to have it towed to a shop. They informed me my brake boosters gave out. About a year after that, I was mailed a nation wide brake boosters recall on 2013 Dodge Darts. When I sent in my recal form, it was returned to sender. I have yet to grt my refund for this dangerous recall that was beyond my control.

Parking brake failure at 42K miles. Parking brake on rear wheels seems to have stuck in caliper and does not engage. When pulling back on parking brake handle in car, there is little or no resistance. Driver's side rear brake pads wore more quickly than any other pad and were almost down to metal on inspection / replacement. All other pads had 1/3 to 1/2 of the pads remaining on other brake assemblies. The vehicle is parked on a slight incline in a driveway at residence and began rolling back after engaging parking brake. Vehicle now must be set in reverse (stick shift) and parked on flat ground. Parking brake no longer has any braking power to hold vehicle in place and prevent it from rolling. Parking brake cable seems free to move back and forth. Brake caliper assembly with a rotational came parking brake engagement seems stuck and hard to move in caliper. Normal braking from use of the brake pedal seems unaffected, just parking brake. Attached image shows the caliper removed and the area circled of where the parking brake cable attaches to the caliper parking brake assembly.

I took my car in to have a recall fixed on my car. When I got my csr back I looked over the brake booster and lines and the only thing that was changed was the supply hose. After oil had been previously found. You can see the oil still soaked in places. The tech put on the invoice that she changed the booster but yet the booster was untouched with factory paint marks still in tacked. I left my car there and went in the next day to resolve this issue and they tried saying it was a misunderstanding. I dont see how saying you changed a part when you didn't is a misunderstanding. Mi was compensated a free detail that never expires in order for my boyfriend to take down his bad review. So they keep the csr another night and when I go to pick up my car I wanted to check it along with a mechanic from a different business. At this time my hood will not close due to a bent or snapped hood cable. The tech did not drop the transmission and forced the boosfer in and bound up my hood cable in the process. The pump and master cylinder hace still yet to be replaced as the R63 recall requires if engine oil is found. What makes me feel unsafe amd like they were trying to pkay with my life and safety of my family is they never tested the parts after they installed them. They lied on both invoices. Each one says the car came in at 77491 miles and left at 77493 miles and I neverdrove tge car off the lot or in because I didnt know if the brakes worked. How can a car have the same miles on 2 different maintenance appointments if the parts were tested after installation? my odometer read 77491. Same as when I first droped it off almost a week ago. So either they turned back a digital odometer or they never tested the parts they forced in. I dont know if they damaged anything else by forcing the booste but I domt like the idea of others putting my lifr in danger.

Parking brake does not properly engage nor disengage.

- Minooka, IL, USA

The battery has to be replaced every year. The brakes are hard and has a vacuum leak noise. The radio, cd, bluetooth does not work. The cruise control does not work all the time and when it does it will stick on. The buttons on the steering wheel does not work all the time. The front 12V DC does not work. Dodge will not fix it because the warranty is gone, but these problems have been going on since I bought it in 2012. Is there some way I can get Dodge to fix these problems without having to pay. There is a lot of Dodge Dart owners with the same problems and Dodge won't recall or fix the problems.

The contact owns a 2013 Dodge Dart. While driving 40 mph, the brake pedal was applied, but failed to respond. The vehicle was taken to a local dealer (davis moore located at 7675 E kellogg dr wichita, ks 67207) where it was diagnosed that the vacuum tubes needed to be repaired. The vehicle was repaired, but the failure recurred. In 2016 the vehicle was serviced under NHTSA recall campaign number 15V80000(brakes). Upon inspection it was determined that not enough oil was present inside the brake booster to cause a failure and the booster was not replaced. The dealer replaced only the vacuum tube but approximately 1 year later the brake booster had failed. The manufacturer was contacted and authorized the vehicle to be repaired. The vehicle was taken to the local dealer for a second time and the brake booster was replaced on the vehicle. The failure mileage was 67,000.

While driving, experiencing intermittent issues with low power during acceleration, back firing, misfiring, check engine light & traction control comes on, stays on. Cruise control will not work when this happens. After a few days, corrects itself and is ok for a day or so but continues again. Very concerning in traffic. Clutch went all the way to floor, took to dealership and so far not reoccurring (recall). Electrical issue, possible something staying open, draining battery. After sitting all day, car would not unlock, had to enter car with actual manual unlock. Upon opening, the dash lights were all flashing, the display screen was flashing unreadable images. All instrument panel lights came on, stayed on. When door shut, panel lights went off and the fuel and speedometer gauges starting jumping, opened the door, gauges stopped and lights came on. Wiper blades activated on their own, very slowly. Could not unlock any door or open trunk during this time. Jumped the car, started very quickly. Will need to replace the battery as it is not charging fully. Rear brakes are not wearing properly.. car mileage 35,500.. very unhappy with this car's performance.
