What is your Dart doing?

Each one opens a sheet built from the owner reports of that problem on the 2014 model year.

Is the 2014 Dodge Dart reliable?

The 2014 Dodge Dart has 362 owner complaints on file with NHTSA, close to the median of 318 for 2014 sedans on this site. Of the 3 Dart model years since 2014, it has the 2nd most complaints. Complaint counts rise with sales as well as faults, so read what owners report below before deciding.

At a glance

Next to other model years
Complaints filed before 2015 aren't in the files this site reads, so the 2014 count runs short and isn't compared with the model years next to it.
Top problem
Stalling leads with 93 of the 362 complaints (26%), ahead of brake wear at 64. A quarter of the 70 owners who gave a mileage for stalling saw it by about 26,000 miles, and half by about 38,000.
Crash, fire and injury reports
25 of the 362 complaints (7%) report a crash, a fire or an injury, about the 6% typical of vehicles on this site. Counted separately (one report can carry more than one), 18 reports mention a crash, 6 mention a fire and 7 people were hurt. The most crash reports, 7 of 18, fall under brake wear.
Recalls behind the top problems
Brake wear has a recall on the same system (15V-800). Stalling has none. A recall on the same system doesn't always cover the failure owners describe, so compare its summary with the complaints.
When owners filed
Filings peaked in 2019 at 62 (full calendar years only). In 2025 there were 15. So far in 2026, 24 more have come in. Filings on record start in 2015.

When each problem shows up

Each bar covers the middle half of the mileages owners reported for that problem. A quarter saw it earlier, a quarter later. The tick is the median. Most reported: engine stalls or loses power while driving, 93 complaints.

        How this compares

        2014 Dodge Dart362
        Median 2014 model here (95 vehicles)304
        Median 2014 sedan here (35)318

        362 complaints is 1.2 times the median 2014 model on this site and about the median for a 2014 sedan. Among the 3 Dart model years here it ranks 2nd for complaints. Counts follow sales volume as much as reliability, so a truck that sells 700,000 a year draws more reports than a sedan that sells 200,000.

        Dodge filed 268 bulletins and other notices with NHTSA that list the 2014 Dodge Dart. 25 of them deal with a problem owners have reported on this car. Newest first.

        Recall 19v-293 post remedy failures. Closed dec 12, 2025, led to recall 25E-065.

        NHTSA summary
        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.
