Example complaints
Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.
“The rear brake line on the vehicle was so rusted that when I applied the brakes to make a left turn, the line broke and the brakes failed. Luckily I was not stopping for a child, stop light, or obstruction and did not experience a crash. The NHTSA should seriously consider having chrysler issue a safety recall and make notice publicly so that all owners of this make, model, year vehicle are advised and can then have their brake lines inspected and fixed.”
