Example complaints

“I was driving home on the highway from work and my car suddenly shuts down tried to crank it, but nothing happens all the lights and radio comes on, but the engine doesn't start. Hasn't been cranking for over a little over two weeks now. This is very dangerous could have caused a wreck to harm me or other parties. This needs to be looked in further.”

“I was driving 70 MPH on i81 when my 2010 Chrysler Crossfire simply stopped running. I was beside a truck with one in front and 3 behind. Barely made it to the side of the road and caused a lot of breaking and honking. The 5th time this has happened, and was extremely dangerous.... The Crossfire does not start after the engine stalls and the steering wheel locks up. I'm amazed that I made it out alive each time. Have spent $1800 trying to have it fixed but the Chrysler dealership doesn't know what the problem is. This is ridiculous”

NHTSA complaint #10892077, filed 2016-08, 118,000 miles

“My car was on the highway and it shut down. No warning. No check engine light on prior to the car shutting down while driving 60 MPH. When I attempted to turn it on all of the loaner lights would turn on. Including the air, radio,windows etc. I tried to get a jump and nothing happened. Called for a tow truck and as soon as it showed up it cranked up. This has happened again after turning off my car and trying to start it again but nothing happens. I've heard of this happening with crossfires and it's unbelievable that there has not been a recall. …”

NHTSA complaint #10910968, filed 2016-10, 80,000 miles

“At 50 MPH on a maryland state highway, the engine unexpectedly shut off resulting in the vehicle coasting to a stop in the traffic lane (there was no shoulder). Fortunately, I was not struck by another vehicle, but it was dark and vehicles coming over a small hill and slight curve had to take evasive action to avoid a collision. The engine would crank and start briefly and then sputter to a stop. Or, it would just crank and not fire or not crank at all. I was eventually, with assistance, able to push the vehicle off the roadway into a residential driveway. …”
