“My speedometer cluster and heater A/C air conditioner climate temperature control lights quit working.I feel this is a hazard to driving, when you can not see how fast you going at night.I called Chrysler headquarters and they said there is nothing they can do.I am not the only car like this, there is other cars around the same year with the same problem.I think this should be checked into.”

NHTSA complaint #10626919, filed 2014-08, 109,000 miles

“The head lights displayed poor visibility. There appeared to be a flaw in the design of the vehicle that presented a safety hazard. The front bumper was so low that there was an area of complete darkness on the road between the two headlights when driven at night. The vehicle had been taken to the dealer on several occasions and they stated it was a design problem.”
