“My Dart is having the exact braking issue that’s included in the 15V-800 (FCA Recall R63) recall, but my VIN isn’t included in the recall. I just had a local shop tell me that the brake booster is the problem. I would like to be reimbursed for the cost that my local shop will be charging to repair it.”

NHTSA complaint #11734334, filed 2026-04, 146,340 miles

“If I brake within 5 minutes of starting my vehicle, the next time I brake all of the dashboard lights will flash on, the battery light will stay on, and the car will stall. After waiting 5 to 10 minutes the car will start again. This happens within a week of when my car needs an oil change. This happened 10/24/2017, 10/25/2017, and 5/17/2018.”

“When driving and applying the brakes they will sometimes go soft I will have to reapply them for the brakes to go back to normal. I know there is a recall for this problem but my car is not included. I don't think I should have to pay for a problem that Dodge knows exists. What can I do to get my car added to the recall?”

NHTSA complaint #11072281, filed 2018-02, 57,000 miles

“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!”

NHTSA complaint #11258539, filed 2019-09, 92,000 miles

“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.”
