Example complaints
Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.
“Took car in for routine oil change, when service tech attempted to remove the dipstick to check oil level, the yellow plastic top broke off, prohibiting removal. Had to go to a local chrysler dealership to purchase new dipstick and have broken one removed. On the second entry, the trunk lid did not stay open, and hit person(s) placing items in or removing items from trunk. And on the third entry, there is a constant film on the windshield which severely limits clear vision and also causes extreme glare, especially during night driving.”
