Example complaints

“The vehicle components started failing first with lighting and electrical malfunctions. Due to the concerns I was on the way to the mechanic on 9/16/23 when the air bags deployed on the passengers side without any impact. The Vehicle is at Chrysler dealer on central avenue Albany, NY and available for inspection. I had just dropped off my grandchildren this could have severely had a horrible impact had they been in car. Not to mention it scared me, I was not sure what was happening. I was scared to get back in the car. …”
NHTSA complaint #11555525, filed 2023-11“The contact owns a 2017 Chrysler 300. The contact stated that the headlights did not illuminate enough (when making left or right turns) to accommodate his peripheral vision. The vehicle remained with an unknown dealer location for a couple of days for diagnostic testing. The dealer determined that there was no ability to adjust the headlights because of the design. The manufacturer agreed with the dealer. The VIN was invalid. The failure mileage was approximately 5,000.”
