Example complaints
Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.
“Recently my car was found to have an oil leak. It appears to be coming from the housing/cooling unit for my car. From doing research it is found that this seems to be a common problem with all 2014 Dodge vehicles. This is causing oil to pool in the bottom of the engine. This if the oil is not checked regularly can cause a massive malfunction of the engine or even a vehicle fire.”

I have stated to the dealer for years that it is not normal for a car to say battery saver mode and lights, radio, dash and all electrical devices in a vehicle to turn of or stutter of and on.
