Example complaints
Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.
“My car lost all power. It would not start or roll up the windows but at times it would blow the horn and windshield wipers would turn on but car would not start. This was after I drove it home and turned it off. Also the windshield wipers will stop working while driving it. I took it to the dealership who charged me $1200 to replace my tipm.”
NHTSA complaint #10873144, filed 2016-06, 16,000 miles“Car cut off driving down the street taking my kid to school. Had it towed to find out its a short in the tipm (total integrated power module) which is basically the brains of the car. All its functions run this this overly poorly thought out computer. Repairs will run about 1,200. The recalls for this petition has been declined. Real classy Dodge. I refuse to patronize this business anymore.”
NHTSA complaint #11048672, filed 2017-11, 129,000 miles“Horn honks randomly. Sometimes blaring, when I press it doesn't work. It happens when I am driving and when the car is sitting. I found several people complaining about the same problem from chrysler with the totally integrated power modules (tipms).”
NHTSA complaint #11103935, filed 2018-06, 51,000 miles“My vehicle completely shut down twice while I was driving. Another problem I have with this vehicle is that the car unlocks by itself, turning on the headlights and draining the battery. This has happened several times recently and is very frustrating.”
NHTSA complaint #10615182, filed 2014-07, 88,000 miles“I am having multiple issues. The gas tank overflows every time I get gas, the air conditioner only cools while driving and sometimes produces heat instead, the locks do not work 4 out of 7 days a week, the tpm signal comes on every few days even though the tires are fine, and the windows do not work on occasion. Although this appears to me there is an electrical and gas tank issue, there are not any recalls issued at this time. …”
