Example complaints

Air bags: “My local dealer, Dan Deery Motors, Waterloo, Iowa, said these airbag repairs are on a waiting list which is now over a year out! Which means I'll be driving with faulty airbags for at least a year! This is simply not acceptable! Is it?”

NHTSA complaint #11746165, filed 2026-06

Forward collision avoidance: “1215 miles . The adaptive cruise control system was acting sketchy. It failed to maintain proper distance and speed between the vehicle in front. We took it into the dealer who said that the sensor had failed on this brand new vehicle and they replaced it on 2/12/2025. After driving the vehicle when we got it back. There does not seem to be much different. …”

NHTSA complaint #11647127, filed 2025-03

Vehicle speed control: “While driving off from an intersection, the van abruptly stalled forcing other cars to honk at me as I rolled from 45 mph to a stop at a curb. 5 minutes of panic, the van restarted and I was on my way home with no further issues.”

NHTSA complaint #11706198, filed 2025-12

Engine: “My van has been in the shop for 22 days. They have replaced the engine 1 time and I had the van back 2 more times for check engine light issues and now the engine is being replaced for a a second time, so this is the 3rd engine in my 2025 Chrysler Pacifica that has 9100 miles on it.”
