Example complaints

“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 is struggling with starting. Multiple times it has left me stranded. First trip to dealership, they stated it needed a computer update. The problem got worse after the computer update and begin happening more and more often. Gives me a service transmission message. It's only at 67,000 miles and I havent owned it a year. Very frustrated. It is going back to the dealership tomorrow!”
NHTSA complaint #11253062, filed 2019-09, 67,000 miles“Tamara recall I was hit in the front and side drivers and not one of my air bags went off from the impact. I was forced by the other car into a curb. Lights would flicker constantly even after battery was changed twice. From the cause of the accident I have had major injuries sustained.”
NHTSA complaint #11205893, filed 2019-05, 74,140 miles“A couple weeks ago, I was at stop light my car stalled, I put in park it restarted. I couldn't put on my hazards or anything to warn the car behind . It happened again on this saturday on the highway in the fast lane the dashboard was blank, the radio stopped playing, so merged in the slow lane without using the brake then everything came back on the speed gauge was trying to get my current speed. It doesn't happen all the time but it's scary feeling because everything on dashboard is computerized.”
NHTSA complaint #11228599, filed 2019-07, 50,149 miles“Ive had a Chrysler before. I suspected the newer model to be improved... Unfortunately for me its jerking like the older model after having tune ups done twice. Also its going dead when I turn left and giving me a message (performance shift disabled) to put it in park and turn it back on. The bad part is im always entering an busy interstate. Its been doing this now for two weeks. The jerking of the vehicle is way to familiar to me. My last Chrysler once it started it got worst and worst as was unable to drive then I found out about the recall on the vehicle.”
