Example complaints

“I took my 2016 Dodge Durango to an independent garage (no longer under warranty) because the booster developed a vacuum leak inside under the dash. After removal, we found the booster was filled with water. I found a recall for earlier year Dodge durangos from 2011-2014 with a similar issue (safety recall t59 / NHTSA 17v-572), and the fix was to install a shield to protect water from entering. My booster already had this shield and was installed correctly, yet it still filled with water. I purchased this vehicle used in august 2019, so I have no service history available. …”
NHTSA complaint #11287049, filed 2019-12, 79,100 miles“Autonomous acceleration. The vehicle without driver assist accelerated twice when pulling into parking spots. In both cases I was making a left turn into a parking spot when the acceleration commenced. Only by standing on the brake while at same time placing the vehicle in park and pressing engine off button was I able to stop vehicles forward motion. The Durango came close to ramming parked car in the space in front of the one I was pulling into. Durango had approx. 3000 miles on odometer when the 2 incidents of acceleration occurred. …”
