Example complaints

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

“I smelled gas in the cabin then later after filling the tank, I had gas running out under the car. Investigation revealed melted plastic around the fuel pump electrical connector pins allowed gas to leak on top of the tank then run down out of the tank. I changed the fuel pump only to have it happen again 5 months later. The fuel pump sits lower than the fuel pump so when the tank is full, about 3 gallons of gas will leak out. …”

“A few different times I've been driving along typically as the automatic car shifts foo a higher speed the car sounds like it is accelerating and is stuck at 3000 rpms. I'm concerned because even when I touch the gas pedal it doesn't seem to change the acceleration.”

“My 2014 Chrysler 300 has loud clunking, thudding noise when travelling over rough roads or going over a small bump. The noise sounds as though something is about to fall off. I have taken the vehicle into the dealership to be assessed and it was determined that I would have to replace the shocks, struts, tie rods and brushels to alleviate the problem. I was given a estimation of $3000.00 dollars to correct the problem. It was during this time that it was discovered that muffler exhaust pipe had rusted and come apart thus calling the car to sound as loud as an 18 wheeler. …”

“Brand new 2014 Chrysler 300 s purchased 12/5/2014 . 595 miles on odo today, 1/17/2015. Driving home today I noticed a split second surge, like the brakes grabbed, like the car lurched. Shortly after I noticed the check engine light was illuminated. Pulled over and shut/started the engine. Check engine still there. Started out from the curb, and the engine revved to approx. 3000 but the car barely moved, the transmission lagged relative to engine speed. [I.e.not engaging or slipping]. Gradually it picked up speed. Stopped again same thing. …”

“On 01-17-2015 less than a month ago. While driving home, the car surged/hesitated and seemed to lose power. I also noticed the check engine icon illuminated. I was able to move to the expressway shoulder and shut the engine then restarted it, but the check engine icon still was illuminated, and the shifter would not shift. It was locked. No p, r, n, d, or s. I tried to make a telephone call via the vehicle's bluetooth but all my data base was gone. It was working earlier in the day. I shut the engine and exited the car to make a cell phone call. …”
