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

“I was not notified of this recall! I logged onto my credit karma (today 3/14/2018) and they notified me that 3 recalls were issued for this vehicle back in 2016. Additionally, my husband was in an accident on 11/29/2017 and the air bags did not deploy. He was a tboned from someone who ran a stop sign and is suffering from neck and back issues caused from this accident.”

NHTSA complaint #11079073, filed 2018-03, 50,000 miles

“Both of my front seat headrests deployed as passengers were getting out the car and pushed against the seats to get out the car. The car was never involved in a car accident so I don't understand why the headrests deployed like they did. Since the pins are no longer in the headrests, it appears I will have to order new ones to correct the issue. The upholstery on the right passenger door has lifted.”

“While I was driving, the hood of my car became unlatched and inverted onto my windshield and warping to my windshield, and denting the roof of my car. These cause the hinges, roof, hood and latches to be replaced. Nearly 4000$ in damage.”

NHTSA complaint #10723689, filed 2015-06, 30,000 miles

“Electrical system has critical internal errors where car will just shut-off completely. I've been on highway many times where my 2014 Dodge Avenger se v6 has lost power and completely idles. The battery is still working but car will no longer start. I have infant child and this defect has become a source of anxiety every time I drive this vehicle. Also, the nuts and bolts seem to come undone from the side frames below the driver and rear doors, as well as bolts under hood such as on the engine compartments. …”
