Example complaints

Visibility (wipers, defrost, mirrors): “On july 10 when I left the office, I was driving the car to go home in the afternoon and I noticed a strange noise coming from the back side of the vehicle. In the red traffic light stop I inspected the rear glass and I realized it is detached almost 70%, mainly the bottom portion, just the upper side was attached. I drove carefully about 5 miles to get home and I was worried because the glass can fall off from the car and have an incident while driving in the rush hour in the avenue I always take (45 miles/hr). I cannot drive the car in this condition. …”

NHTSA complaint #11230887, filed 2019-07, 1 miles

Body and structure: “Driving down the interstate at 70 MPH the rear window detached from the convertible top and crashed into the interior of the vehicle. The dealer claims that the sealant/adhesive failed and the rear window but it could not be re-attached. The Chrysler dealer ordered a new top with window. The dealer stated that there were no recalls or warranties for this repair. The dealer charged $2,605.00 to replace the convertible top. This is a very dangerous safety issue as the rear window could have injured the occupants.”

NHTSA complaint #10664135, filed 2014-12, 9,876 miles

Air bags: “Takata recall-- I placed a call to my area dealer ; ron carter in alvin and was told by the service department that they did not have a crossfire mechanic.my past experiences dictate a typical response from this dealer for issues they do not want to deal with.”
