Example complaints
Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.
“I was driving my car when all of a sudden flames were coming from under the hood on the driver side. I pulled over, got out and called 911. By the time the fire department put out the fire, my car was totaled. There must have been a defect somewhere under the hood. It may have been the engine which I had to replace at 66,841 miles for over $8,000. I got no warnings on the dash, just fire from under the hood.”
NHTSA complaint #11252441, filed 2019-08, 75,000 miles“My son was driving the car and was at the stop light. When the light turned green and he hit the gas to go the car stalled and it started smoking from under the trunk and within seconds was in flames. My son had to jump out the passenger side for safety reasons. The fire department went and turned the fire out. We have no idea why it went up in fire. We were driving it all morning and my son drives it to school with no issues.”

While the car was stationary there was a big bang under my hood and I started to smell coolant. I drove my car to a repair shop and was told one of my cooling fans broke, sending a blade into my radiator causing severe damage to it.”

The symptom was customers not being able to shift their vehicles from the park position. My vehicle was manufactured in february 2007. I was told by Dodge customer service that my was made before the date allowed. I would like to inquire whether the component affecting these vehicles was added after my vehicle was manufactured or is it the same. If it is the same please allow the earlier vehicles to fall under this recall also. Thank you. …”
