Example complaints
Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.
“About 5 days ago, the airbag light came on that has caused my cruise control, horn, and radio volume not work. I live in a very busy and congested city. I was almost run off the road twice because I don't have a horn that works to warn people to state in there lanes.”
NHTSA complaint #10905511, filed 2016-09, 123,000 miles“Noise in steering column. Stiff when driving. Cracks in dash around passenger air bag. Engine light on and remains on for extended periods. Air bag warning light on. Advised that srs roll coil needs replacing. Part ordered through Chrysler parts dealer and is on back order.”
NHTSA complaint #10598167, filed 2014-06, 98,249 miles“Dashboard developed a 10 -12 crack just to the left of the passenger side airbag. Do not know if the airbag system will work or not. In any event this seems to be a manufacturing problem, by the number of complaints. Dealer(s) are of no help as the vehicle is out of warranty. This vehicle has also had the common problem of the headlamps/instrumentation lights flickering. Headlamps would flash on/off along with instrument lighting. Headlight switch panel replaced, but the problem returned.”
NHTSA complaint #10650044, filed 2014-10, 41,500 miles“The consumer stated the check engine and air bag lights illuminated and the engine stalled. After stalling, the engine gave off a burning odor throughout the vehicle. The consumer had to wait 5-10 minutes before trying to restart the engine. The vehicle was taken to the local dealership and the air bag sensor was replaced, however the problem still persists.”
NHTSA complaint #10147943, filed 2006-01, 150 miles“12 crack of dashboard cover opened up on left side of passenger air bag and is getting longer. Very disappointing for a high priced car which I have owned since new.”
