Example complaints

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

“I have had problems with the ABS system, power assisted brake system and the suspension for over a year. About a year ago the ABS light came on and stayed on. At this point my power assisted brake system was working fine. Then about a month later the brake light also came on and stayed and I had very tight braking as well as the air ride suspension system has failed and my car now sits pretty much on the tires. These problems were covered in recall #s (91v191000 & 96v099000) however my VIN was not covered. …”

“The contact stated the air suspension system failed on 4/20/06. Then, the ABS and brake light warning lights illuminated continually for several weeks before the brake system failed to work properly while driving 35 MPH. The vehicle was not included in recall # 91v191000, service brakes, lines, piping, fittings or recall # 96v099000 - service brakes, hydraulic antilock due to the VIN. The service dealer was notified.”

“Front suspension almost drags on road surface and rear suspension is hiked upward ,blocking view out of rear window. I have taken this problem to two Chrysler dealears. One recommended not to fix problem but to get rid of car and the other charged $38.69 for diagnostic test and told me they did not know what the problem is. This is a safety problem which could be fatal if a high spot in the roadway is hit or by not being able to see sout of the rear window when changing lanes into on-coming traffic. I feel this is a safety problem that Chrysler must own up to and repair at their expense.”
