Example complaints

Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.

“At random times, the car will just shut off while driving l or turning. Absolutely no power for a little bit. This has happened multiple time. I am unsure if this electrical or something to do with the engine. I have called to see if there was a recall she was told there wasn't. I have seen multiple posts online speaking of this same problem from quite a few people”

“My Chrysler 200 will stall intermitenly going down the road. It does not matter if I am coming up to a stop sign or running down the expressway. Which is what happened the last time and it was very scary. It will also chug at times like it is out of gas when I have a full tank or 1/2 a tank. I know that the 2015's were recalled and it sounds exactly what is happening with my 200.”

“The light for the airbag malfunction on the dash stays on all the time. When I first start the car it dings as it comes on. This car only has 12,000 miles on it now, but only 5,000 when this started. I am afraid of a malfunction if I have an accident. They light stays on all the time until you shut the car off. This started last june of 2015 and has happened every day since.”

“Pulling onto a major busy highway my car shut off completely and would not restart. After spending $533 dollars in june for a electronic throttle control sensor, I'm now being told I have to pay $1300 to have the totally intergrated power module replaced which afterwards I may have to replace a power sensor. Of course, they won't know if the 3rd part is need until they replace the 2nd.”

NHTSA complaint #10897889, filed 2016-08, 119,000 miles

“While at a stop light the engine shut off without warning. We could not get it to restart. But the radio and the windows worked. When we would attempt to restart, the engine light and the electrical light came on. We had to have the towed to the dealer. The dealer could not find anything wrong since there were no codes and they could not recreate the problem.”
