Example complaints
Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.
“As I drove the vehicle off the lot located in modesto, ca I drove to my home address which is located in antioch, ca. On my way home the car started jerking when I notified the dealership they said they will fix it and to drop it back off. They had the vehicle for 7 days and did not fix a thing because the vehicle cuts off any power and gas control on the freeway.”
NHTSA complaint #11325352, filed 2020-05, 111,573 miles“My car shuts off while running and tells me to switch to park. The steering wheel and breaks lock up. This happens mid drive or when I turn a corner and is very dangerous. I had this same problem on my 2015 Chrysler 200 and now I am having the same issue with my 2016 Chrysler. This needs to be fixed this is a manufacturer issue.”
