2007: “The airbag light keeps coming on and there's nothing going on with my car ignition messed up my alternator battery and starter. There's a failure in ignition that is messing up a lot of things in the car. The ignition had me in the middle of the road such as safety issue. When I use my four-wheel-drive a lot of complications started happening with my lycian alternator starter and battery”
NHTSA complaint #11353386, filed 2020-09, 190,000 miles2008: “I've been having this truck for a little over 5 months and every time I fill it up it never stops pumping when full. It spits gas out when it is full. I try to watch how many gallons I'm putting in it so I can stop it myself before it gets full but sometimes I don't catch it. It never clicks or stops on its own. I know my truck is 11 yrs old but this shouldn't be happening.”
NHTSA complaint #11172996, filed 2019-01, 171,000 miles2009: “The overhead control module has failed 3 times in the last 2 years. We are being asked to cover it our of pocket again even though the part should be under the 12 month warranty. Chrysler customer service tells me that since it was replace under warranty the last time (12 months ago) our consumer warranty goes back to the one we purchased the first time it failed and won't cover it this time.”
