Example complaints

Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.

“Started with radio and dash gauges resetting to zero while driving. Most recently, the car restarted while driving. During the restart the car came to a complete halt. This is an intermittent issue on a car less than 6 months old and just at 3,500. As this is intermittent, difficult to tell what causes this problem. Problems have been going on for over a month. Date chosen was the date the car actually perform a complete restart and making it a severe safety issue.”

NHTSA complaint #11407743, filed 2021-04, 3,450 miles

“The vehicle was sold under deceptive business practices. I inspected the vehicle and seen the tire (side wall) was badly damaged and the vehicle did not even run as mentioned in the description. The safety was in jeopardy and the seller made false claims for me to believe the vehicle was safe and ready to drive.”

NHTSA complaint #11667015, filed 2025-06

“Through conversations with a Dodge Certified Tech, this is ongoing and known issue with Dodge (RAM) trucks, dodge chargers etc. Curious as to why a safety recall has not been issued, with reports and complaints found online spanning back 2-3 years now. My car, after just 2 years of ownership, the windshield wipers have failed in operation. For 1 month, intermittent wiper functions were non-existent, 3 clicks would only get me on all the time, slow speed , nothing else. …”

NHTSA complaint #11491917, filed 2022-11

“While traveling on the highway at approx. 70mph at night the vehicle shutdown completely resulting in the loss of throttle, power steering and lights. This is an safety issue that can cause death or serious bodily harm to the driver and other drivers along a motorway as the vehicle is no longer able to be seen in low light situations and the vehicle is unable to be properly controlled due to the loss of power steering. Issue was deemed due to loose bolts for the power distribution center.”
