Example complaints

“I was driving at approximately 45-50 MPH and all the warning lights came on and in the next second the car just lost all power. Nothing! I pulled over and it started about 5 minutes later. Having to drive an hour back home on the highway was scared and my father being a disabled vet - this is the vehicle that is used.”

NHTSA complaint #11163767, filed 2018-12, 10 miles

“While driving on a dry road, the light on the dash board went on to indicate the car was sliding... The steering wheel locked up, I had no brakes, I had to glide to a stop. This happened 4 times in one day. I was able to glide to a stop, shut the van off, restart it only for it to happen again. I took it to my mechanic who stated it was a computer chip issue and that I would have to go to a dealer to get it fixed for approx $1,800.00. I could've seriously injured and/or killed myself and those around me.”

NHTSA complaint #11089932, filed 2018-04, 112,000 miles

“My car has been having intermittent stalling/ no starting issues since 9/16/14. I have replaced the battery, spark plugs, crank shaft sensor, wyn module. I have had my mechanic look it + I have taken it into the Dodge dealer 2 times and they have not been able to figure out why it keeps stalling/ not starting. I have tried contacting the Dodge corporate office to see if they could help but so far I have not been able to speak to a representative. My car has stopped completely (losing steering/power) a lot of times, of which 2 times were on the freeway going 50 + miles w/ kids in my car. …”

“Last year while driving my van, it stalled or turned off completely while driving. My power steering everything went dead. I was able to pull into the nearest gas station and place in park and restart the engine. Since that initial incident last year, it continues to happen. The most recent I was driving in the baltimore inner harbor tunnel when it shut down. On a few occasions I was almost rear ended. It doesn't matter what speed, the vehicle just turns off in the middle of driving. The dealer keeps telling me they can't find a problem. …”

NHTSA complaint #10512384, filed 2013-05, 50,000 miles

“While driving at 55 MPH, my van all of a sudden turned off. I lost all power steering and struggled to get the van off the road. Once I got it off the road, I was able to start the vehicle and drove about 2 miles. The vehicle died a second time as I was getting ready to turn onto the street in which I live. My speed at that time was around 20 MPH. I pulled into the carwash, where I was able to start the vehicle again, and then drove home. I went aprox. 1 mile that time. We parked the van and as my husband was getting out of the driver side, he strongly smelled something electrical burning. …”
