2014 Dodge Dart Brakes Problems

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.

Car was towed into Dave's Corner Auto Care [XXX] . Customer complaint, had lost brake s ,pedel went all the way down to the floor. We found both front brake hose appeared to have ruptured with a parel split in both hoses close to the crimp of the hoses at the holder bracket area .144,751 miles INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)

i have taken this car 5 times in the last 6 momths for recalls and the car is still not 100% it keeps telling me that brake safety system needs to be fix, dealer can not help with this matter. the mechanic told me that thise cars were defected and more than likely it will never get fix to 100% again. i need help with this matter as my som almost killed himself driving it like that.

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.

No any lock brakes, a b s lights on brake lights on traction control lights on and no cruise control

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 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.

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.

I WAS COMING UP TO A RED LIGHT AT AN INTERSECTION. WHEN COMING TO A STOP, THE BRAKES LOCKED UP AND WAS UNABLE TO STOP AND REAR ENDED ANOTHER VEHICLE.

BRAKE PEDAL IS HARD, MAKING IT DIFFICULT TO STOP. WHEN PRESSED THE PEDAL MAKES A HISSING SOUND. THE DART WAS PRODUCED IN FEBRUARY OF 2014 ONE MONTH AFTER THE END OF THE OTHER BRAKE RECALL.

BRAKES FAILD

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.

WHEN DRIVING I CAN HEAR RATTLING GOING OVER BUMPS COMING FROM THE FRONT OF THE CAR. I INSPECTED THE BRAKE CALIPER AND IT IS NOT TIGHT AGAINST THE BRAKES PADS

MY 2014 DODGE DART GT HAS HAD BREAKING ISSUES OVER THE PAST FEW WEEKS. WHEN STOPPING THE BREAK PETAL WILL GO ALL THE WAY TO THE FLOORBOARD WITH NO PRESSURE AT ALL. THIS ISSUE HAS ALMOST CAUSED 3 ACCIDENTS AND THE DEALERSHIP SAYS THAT THEY CAN NOT FIND AN ISSUE. THIS VEHICLE HAS NO RECALLS TO BE REPAIRED, AND IS VERY UNSAFE TO DRIVE. DEALERSHIP HAS BEEN NOTIFIED OF THE ISSUE AND NO ATTEMPT AT REPAIR HAS BEEN MADE

THE BRAKE PEDAL SINKS IN AND INCREASES THE BRAKING DISTANCE. IT HAPPENED EVERY ONCE IN A WHILE BUT RECENTLY IT STARTED HAPPENING MORE OFTEN AND HAS GOTTEN WORSE. THE BRAKE SINKS IN COMPLETELY NOW AND IT DOES NOT BRAKE UNLESS U RELEASE IT AND PUSH DOWN AGAIN.
