Example complaints

“It took 30 minutes for my husband to crank my car. He had to tap on relays in the fuse box to get it going. The car was parked in the driveway and had not been driven since the prior evening. Went to the dealership to ask about recall and they said chrysler had not come up with a fix yet. So the question is. What do we do if we keep having issues?”
NHTSA complaint #11320307, filed 2020-04, 108,430 miles“The engine regularly will not start when I push the button. It stalls over and over. Sometimes leaving us stranded. This has been happening since at least 2016 and I have had all recalls repaired. The matter has never resolved! Now I have been informed that the initial recall replacement part was faulty and Dodge currently does not have a fix.”
NHTSA complaint #11297870, filed 2020-01, 42,000 miles“Fuel pump relay recall still not fixed. This is one of the vehicles that is failing. It is a danger to drive. It stalls driving down the road, takes a very long time to start. When it stalls the braking fails (my main concern). Contacted chrysler multiple times and they tell me keep driving the car, no fix anytime soon. The recalll started last year. A deadline or another temporary vehicle should really be put in place.”
NHTSA complaint #11340033, filed 2020-07, 95,000 miles“I have had many instances when the vehicle would not start. It cranks over fine but will not fire. I have to shut the ignition off, and then it starts fine when I retry it. I received a recall notice ( r09 / NHTSA 14v-115 ) but the dealer tells me that the repair parts are not yet available. I am worried that I may experience a problem while I am on the highway.”
NHTSA complaint #10732654, filed 2015-07, 32,000 miles“My Durango has stalled numerous times. The recall for the fuel pump relay recall has been performed and replaced and two new relays have been installed. The last relay lasted two months and failed completely yesterday. My car has been towed to a dealership. There is an open recall on this issue with no timeline for a fix. I was lucky enough yesterday to get the car to a parking space instead of pulling into traffic on a busy road before it died.”
