NHTSA complaint #11196741, filed 2019-04, 61,500 miles“My car started smoking with black smoke. The car started overheating. We opened up the hood and the water pump looked like it exploded because the antifreeze was everywhere. I took my car in twice 1 year apart for the same problem and was replaced with aftermarket equipment from the dealership. I'm wondering if the use of aftermarket is breaking my car apart. Now I'm having a engine issue.”
NHTSA complaint #11289784, filed 2019-12, 75,000 miles“As I was backing up the car, the blind spot detection light came on and indicated that it was unavailable on both the right and left side. Then it started flashing and dinging. I took it to be repaired and both the left and right sensor needed replacing due to nothing I had done. The cost would be $2090. The service manager indicated this problem had occurred in dodge caravans and Chrysler town and country vans. Is this due to poor quality parts, and are there enough occurrences that this should be a recall? …”
