“Takata recall. Also I would like the brakes and or the rotors be investiagated as well. I had to have the brakes repaired 3x times since 2016 for the same reason with in 3to 4 months of each other and the rotor replaced . I saw that I am not the only one have this complaint as well as the roofing material is coming off and the car seems to be having a slight electrical issue where we lose power.”
NHTSA complaint #11010293, filed 2017-07, 55,000 miles“I bought my car and like a month later was notified of a recall it was for the airbag , however my seatbelt would just come unlatched. I took the car in for the recall to be fixed and did mention it to the dealer. I than received the car back and I am still having the same issue. I will be driving down the road or freeway and you can hear it unlatch and comes off. It has been happening more often and no one knows why.”
NHTSA complaint #11139723, filed 2018-10, 20,000 miles“My seatbelts will unlatch whenever it feels like it, the seatbelts won't go in by themselves anymore, amd this all happened after we fixed the recall. Then all in a year the throttle body quit working, the alternator stopped working, it will not keep a charge, and sometimes when your driving for no reason at all the inside lights will dim and brighten. This all happens while in motion except the battery constantly dying even though the alternator and battery are new.”

I purchase this vehicle on a monday with $500 down. 2014 dodger Avenger with 74k and bought the other$500. So in total $1000 down. And when I bought the car up to the dealership. It had to get expected, no receipt for it or nothing so I don't know what they had expected. Therefore, everything was good. I had to bring it back to dealership after I called them about the problem. I have paid two cars off and this is my worse experience I had with a vehicle I was driving. It was good while it last but the second time same thing happen first time. …”
NHTSA complaint #11268442, filed 2019-10, 78 miles“I wrote previously on the brakes not working resulting in accident but I can't find where to update my previous complaint so I'll add to it here. We have since learned the speed at time of accident was 21 MPH, red light came on when brakes were pressed and there were no brakes. This is the 3rd time it happened. The other 2 the brakes came right back. The accident did result in the vehicle being totaled. Thank goodness no injuries but what we have since learned is the airbags did indeed deploy, thank goodness, but the driver seatbelt did not hold. …”
