Example complaints
Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.
“Dodge transmission on intrepids, caravans, and neons have a history of failing and needing to be replaced or rebuilt. My vehicle only has 55800 miles on it all original. Even though the car is 15 years old it has always been maintained since it was purchased from the dealer brand new in 1995. I believe that if Dodge is not held responsible for the problems then someone can seriously get injured from them. Whether it be from the transmission failing on the highway and causing accidents or something breaking while just driving and causing serious injury.”
