“Parked car in driveway, set hand brake and it failed. Was told by dealership and Dodge customer service that it is a periodic adjustment that must be made to the hand brake.

NHTSA complaint #10229943, filed 2008-06, 23,000 miles“My car is stuck in park! I have no idea what happened. I drove it today with no problems then all of a sudden I try to leave and it wont allow me to put it in reverse. I have seen a numerous amount of complaints online with people having the same problem so this is something that is common with these cars. My car hasn't been repaired yet! I don't think I should have to pay for something that I didn't cause.”
NHTSA complaint #10342820, filed 2010-07, 73,000 miles“I purchased this car 2 years ago with the title, just having it at my parents house because I have another car. I drove it back to memphis on the highway and it jerked, cut the car off turn it back on it drives no more than 30 MPH. Got a reading at 2 different auto zones, and got a tune up, oil change, and wire coils that go with the car. Still the same problem. So I drive the car back to my parents house a hour away from memphis and it's going slow, so of course law enforcement had some questions that almost allowed me to get the car towed at the times with the coronavirus going on as well.. …”
NHTSA complaint #11320049, filed 2020-04, 277 miles“I have had my car for 4 months now and have already had the rotors cut and the pads replaced. The squealing was more than a nuisance and the rotors would overheat and warp. I had this work done at 8200 miles. I now have 9800 miles and the pads are already making noise and the rotors overheat after semi hard braking.”
NHTSA complaint #10204846, filed 2007-10, 8,200 miles“Ive had issues that I am reporting to thus site. Dealership said my VIN didn't match. My esp, ABS, and bas lights have been on for 2 years. I went to dealership to inquire on ecu flash with new software by recall, but the dealership said only police package vehicles were included in that recall. Ive researched countless hours to find very many people who have this same problem. Now I am needing to bring my car in for the airbag recall. From what it states on this website, my recall was ordered back in may, 2015. …”
