“The front, passenger door of my vehicle is becoming warped and has detached from the door near where the panel meets the window. I've been researching this issue online and have discovered it is a widespread problem with Chrysler/dodge vehicles. My original dealer warranty has expired. I filed a recall complaint through the Chrysler website and am waiting for a response. Please help in any way you can. Thank you.”

NHTSA complaint #11355594, filed 2020-09, 52,000 miles

“The inside front passenger side door panel is lifting up away from the window. This car is garage kept and I have been working from home since march 23, 2020 so it has not been left out in the sun. The interior vinyl is pulling away and separating from the body. This happened when stationary and is getting increasingly worse.”

“Interior door panels are warped and lifted. I complained to Chrysler along with many others, and my complaint was denied twice. This manufacturing defect causes temperature inside my vehicle to be compromised due to the lack of insulation.”

NHTSA complaint #11349678, filed 2020-08

“The bolts were loose on the driveshaft on the all-wheel-drive, which caused them to have to replace the entire driveshaft! If the driveshaft would’ve broke, whoever was driving the vehicle, whether it be me, or with my son in it, we would’ve wrecked and possibly died! The problem has been confirmed with a certified dealer! There is no warning signals. There was nothing and there is a recall on the same. There is a recall for the exact same problem as my car, and now they will not cover it because it doesn’t show up on the Vin! …”

NHTSA complaint #11553799, filed 2023-11

“The contact owns a 2016 Chrysler 300. The contact stated that water was leaking from the rear passenger’s side of the vehicle.
