Example complaints
Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.
“When driving in the rain and going through puddles of water the steering will go out. Within minutes the battery light will come on. I doubt it is my battery because it is only a year old. The only way I am able to gain the power steering back is by pulling over turning vehicle off and restart. This has been very dangerous at times because it has happened a few times when I actually turning in a curve or a parking spot. I have almost wrecked numerous times scaring me and my teenage boys.”
NHTSA complaint #11000673, filed 2017-06, 173,000 miles“As I approached a stop light and had to stop, the engine stalled, and I had to restart it from the ignition. It happened on three other occasions (once in a left turn at a stop sign). The steering problem is progressively aggravating to the point of loosing power assist when I make a left turn, and occasionally a right turn, also. It started as a small inconvenience, but at this point, if I am not very careful when I make a left turn, the car would go strait instead of turning.”
NHTSA complaint #10463070, filed 2012-06, 52,000 miles“I own a 2007 Chrysler Sebring bought new in oct 2007. I have been having a constant vibrating problem with the braking system and/or tires since may 2008 and I did not know my brake system was covered under warranty up to 18,000 miles so I took it a firestone dealer. At the time I had 15,000 on my Sebring and they told me that my brakes were wearing down due to my rotors eating my brad pads and I would need them to be resurfaced. …”
NHTSA complaint #10245867, filed 2008-10, 15,000 miles“I purchased my car used 3 yrs ago. I paid if off this year. The ongoing troublesome issue is that the car stalls out unexpectedly- usually during wet weather. It has happened about 5 times or so. But, it has almost happened many more times...the car sputters and just about stalls out. Again, all during wet weather. I contacted the dealership where I purchased car after the 1st incident. They took the car and said I needed a new battery ; that it was being drained when I had wipers, heat, radio etc all on at once and that was why it stalled. I went with it. …”
NHTSA complaint #10668848, filed 2014-12, 65,000 miles“Airbag light on, horn and cruise control stopped working, found out its the clock spring, had trouble steering the car at one point, found that a part broke the clock spring and got lodged in the steering components, happened during a turn onto a street”
