Example complaints
Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.
“While in motion on the highway, my check engine light kept popping on and off. My vehicle started to feel like it was losing power whenever I began to accelerate. It does drive but it makes a very loud, unsettling noise when driving. It sounds very loud even when I am sitting in park. The vehicle is normally silent when sitting in park and driving. I am smelling something very unusual as well when driving. …”
NHTSA complaint #11270820, filed 2019-10, 87,000 miles“I had my cruise set to 57, all was fine until I started down a small hill, my car sped up to 75, I could not get cruise to turn off with the buttons or break,, I panicked , and slammed my brakes, and it finally stoped.”
NHTSA complaint #11252544, filed 2019-08, 32,574 miles“Last year I had the driver side door panel warp, separating up next to the window. It was under regular warranty so the dealer took care of it. Yesterday 8/15/19 the passenger door did the same thing and separated at the window. Doing research on this, I have found many people with Dodge chargers, chrysler 300, that are having this same exact issue. I am now at 40500 miles and most likely Dodge will not take care of this even under the extended warranty, which means a $1000 repair. …”
NHTSA complaint #11244407, filed 2019-08, 40,500 miles“Takata recall my driver side door won't open the door. It unlocks and lock but I can't use the handle to open the door. I have to have someone from the inside en the door.”
NHTSA complaint #11241729, filed 2019-08, 39,000 miles“I bought the car 2 1/2 years ago. My driver and passenger doors were fine and weren't warped. A 1,000 miles after my door panels and my center consel under dash is warped also. Dodge dealership won't fix the issue as I'm out of my basic warranty even though this is a manufacturer defect. I called Dodge headquarters and they won't fix the issue either without paying a $1000 or so per door panel. I'm very upset about this. Apparently from reading online it's a known issue for chargers between 2014-2016 I think. …”
