Example complaints

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

“I own a 2010 Dodge journey. Whenever the cruise control is engaged and the car's speed increases to a speed of approximately five miles per hour over the cruise control setting, when you are traveling downhill, for example, the car will violently downshift and the engine's rpms will rise to over 5000 rpms unless you disengage the cruise control. The downshift is violent and could result is a loss of control if you are on a less than a clear, dry road surface. The car was taken to the dealership and we were told that the issue was known but no fix was available. …”

“Purchased new Dodge journey 2010 in april 2011. Basic type tires needed to be replaced by september 2011 due to wear. Attempted to replace with snow tires, needed for safe winter driving in rural area with heavy snowfall. Only tires that fit wheels were on national back order. Used size/brand recommended by dealership that almost fit in october 2011. Since then, I have had to have all four brake rotors machined, front brake pads replaced for third time now, not covered by warranty. Car pulsates/steering wheel vibrates violently when braking starting at about 40 MPH. …”
