Example complaints

Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.

“The skreem module has failed which controls the anti-theft system, key & ignition. The part is no longer available through Chrysler or aftermarket. The car cannot run without this module. The vehicle was stationary at the time of failure. I had to have it towed to a repair shop. Luckily it was close to home when it failed. Chrysler needs to make this part available since it is a common problem that affects hundreds if not thousands of vehicles that cannot be driven once it fails.”
