2014 Dodge Dart Electronic stability control Problems

“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!”

“First of all, when steering to turn there is a cracking noise. It gives the feeling that the steering system is gonna break. Second main problem is that car shuts completely down with no reason when breaking. This just happen to me this morning. I was stoping because of a red light and the car shut down there. I could not turn it on after a few minutes min while I was complete stopped in the middle of the road. This is pretty dangerous if it happens while driving in the freeway...”

“Battery light comes on, once that occurs the radio goes pitch black and we lose total control over the radio and HVAC controls. The dash gauges shut off including turn signal blinkers and clicking sound. And whether the a.c. Is on or not the heater defrost comes on full blast and I can't get it to turn off. Until the rear defrost and battery light is off. But it will immediately do it again. This problem occurs whether the car is in park, in drive but idling, while driving down the road and when turning left.”

“Takata recall: I pulled out of my work parking lot at 5pm after it had been sitting since 7am and drove about 2 mins down the rode, car battery light flashed and the car would no longer accelerate and steering wheel locked up. All lights and radio, A/C continued working normally. I was left stuck in the middle of an intersection. I turned the car off and turned the key a couple of times, after about 5-6 times it finally started again and drove away normally. This has happened 6 times now in the past 6 days. …”

“Car stalled in the middle of a public street several times and wouldn't start at times before it finally just left me stranded. During these times there was no error on the screen letting me know what the problem was so I just kept trying to drive it. Then after awhile the check engine light turned on a few times but it was at random times and did not stay on. The car only has 18000 miles and I've only had it for 2 years. The dealer replaced the battery but did not check to see what was causing the battery to die so quick. …”
