Example complaints

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

“I have had constant issues with the control arms, tie rods, and the door handles are all broken. I had to replace my radiator twice now. I love my car, but I am highly disappointed with the costs that I have had with this car. The radiator issues have come while the car was in motion. My engine died without warning while I was driving. I never had any warnings prior to the motor blowing. I have regular maintenance done to my car, but a new engine, 2 radiators, tie rods, and control arm repairs/changes seem to be the continuum for my car. …”

“Chrysler 300C 2006, outer tie rod broke at 30k and again at 37k miles. I bought car new, and it always had a vibration dealer told me at all complaints there was nothing wrong and it was tires. Replaced/changed tires after 30k tie rod change, and it did little for vibration. On state inspection today, was shown that tie rod had 1/2 inch of play on replacement mopar part. Search online finds that this is a common complaint.”
