2014 DODGE DART — Complaint #2161960
Open-data reference.
NHTSA Complaint about POWER TRAIN filed December 31, 2025
NHTSA complaint #2161960 (ODI reference 11708075) concerns a 2014 DODGE DART and was filed on December 31, 2025. The owner reports the failure occurred on October 5, 2023. The report was geocoded to South Carolina based on the filer's self-reported location. The affected component is categorized as power train, one of NHTSA's standardized taxonomy codes used to group defect patterns across make, model, and year.
The filer flagged the following severity indicators: crash: no, fire: no, injuries: 0, fatalities: 0. No crash, fire, or fatality was associated with this report, which places it in the early-warning stream rather than the priority-review stream. Because a VIN was supplied, this complaint is tied to a specific vehicle and not just a model-year cohort.
Individual complaints are consumer-submitted and unverified by NHTSA engineers — the agency's role at this stage is to collect, index, and make them searchable. What matters for federal action is the pattern: when many owners of the same DODGE DART cohort independently describe similar power train failures, defect investigators have grounds to open a PE and request manufacturer data. Related filings for the same vehicle and component appear below, and the detail page for the full 2014 DODGE DART shows the complete component-level complaint distribution alongside any active investigations or recalls.

Now the car has started yet ANOTHER problem that it doesnât want to start. I paid for a tow to the repair shop and they checked everything out and could find absolutely nothing wrong, no codes showing up, nothing. I had bought a new battery, was about to replace the ignition switch and/or starter but the shop had experience with Dodge 2014 before and the same issues with no apparent issues?? I did pay for another key and fob which wasted $200 because even afterwards the fob wouldnât release due to the car not going into the park position 100% and Iâm still having all these problems. It is definitely a safety issue and we all are left here driving this piece of junk that the manufacturer doesnâ
