Example complaints

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

“I have owned this car for 3 years. A year after owning it I began having issues with the engine shutting down while driving. It is random and happens with no warning, no check engine light or any indication that it's going to happen. It has happened in traffic where I was almost rear ended by a semi because when the engine dies I lose power steering and can't get it off the road. Sometimes it will restart right away other times it takes an hour or more. This has happened while on the highway and city streets. …”

“Was driving on i95n coming from florida and about 12am my car was feeling very loose in the front and so then my steering power was gone and the car went out of control and we crash onto the right side railing and then again on the left side and the car went flying into the ditch. I would like an investigation because I no longer have the car the bank took it and they want me to pay for it. Thank you ....updated 04/08/15”

NHTSA complaint #11245040, filed 2019-08, 70,100 miles

“In july 2019, my 2013 Chrysler 200, that I purchased brand new in 2014 just stopped. Wouldn't go forward or backward. I was stuck in the middle of the road on a steep hill. I went from 45 MPH to nothing without any warning. No warning lights ever came on and the car wasn't acting any different than it had the million times I had taken it to the dealership for it being jerky when taking off. They repeatedly told me there were no issues found and the car was fine. I was and still am the soul owner of this car that didn't even have 85,000 miles on it. …”

“I am having an issue with my Chrysler 200, I have 39540 miles on this vehicle, and my problem started on 11/11/14. As I was driving I could hear and feel a popping in my steering column. I was driving at 5 MPH when I noticed it, I pulled over to check tires. It is really noticeable when making turns verses just driving straight. My son took it to dealership, and upon inspection, they informed me that the tie rods and rack and pinion are worn and have a lot of play. …”
