Example complaints
Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.
“Timing clutch broke. Ruined engine. 100,000 miles. Otherwise in perfect condition. Too expensive to replace with a new engine. Especially with the mechanical history of this specific engine. The only offer I have received to sell this vehicle is the salvage yard. $100 if I bing it to them. $50 if they come get it. This is ridiculous. All other parts in perfect condition.”
NHTSA complaint #10225155, filed 2008-04, 102,000 miles“Engine light came on at about 30 MPH and I heard a light ticking sound. Engine was shut down immediately and car was towed into a garage. I was told the engine seized , and would cost $5,000 to replace e it. My car has 87000 miles, but I contacted Chrysler anyway and was told they couldn't help .my car sits because I cannot afford the cost of a rebuilt engine.”
