Example complaints

“My car shut down completely as I was driving, the steering wasn't working, I couldn't turn the wheels at all. The breaks would not work either, no matter how hard I pressed on the breaks the pedal would not move. Luckily I wasn't going fast or driving on the highway cause that would have killed me.”
NHTSA complaint #11165186, filed 2019-01, 130,000 miles“Noticed around this date when making left hand turns going down hill in the parking garage that the suspension was making a groaning sound. Took vehicle to several mechanics that found nothing wrong under inspection. Finally took to new mechanic and found rack and pinion with front left side.”
NHTSA complaint #10484762, filed 2012-11, 48,000 miles“While driving on a highway at high-speed, all the electrical instruments began flashing on/off. The airbag light began flashing and a chime could be heard. This occurs intermittently (3-5 times per year) and Chrysler cannot properly diagnose the problem. This seems to happen most frequently while driving on the interstate while raining with the windshield wipers on high. On one occasion while travelling through the mountains of western pennsylvania on the turnpike at night in the rain the entire car went dark for about 10 seconds. It appeared that the system rebooted. Original owner.”
