Example complaints

Body and structure: “Hvac dripping into right frame horn causing severe rust affecting steering linkage, and loss of vehicle control. No appropriate drain tube to route moisture away from frame was installed at the factory. Very dangerous!”

NHTSA complaint #11220303, filed 2019-06, 256,000 miles

Electrical system: “This vehicle belongs to verizon communications. The van had an under hood fire that originated in the ABS module area while parked. A neighbor noticed the fire and called the fire department. The van is declared a total loss . The van that was parked next to it received major damage from the fire but was repaired. Daimlerchrysler issued safety recall d20 in 2004 to address this problem but the recall repair has not corrected the problem. Verizon has had 29 under hood fire incidents that occurred after the recall was performed. …”

NHTSA complaint #10243795, filed 2008-09, 16,611 miles

Suspension: “The front ball bearings failed on a 200 Dodge van. I also saw other vans with similar miles(40,000) with the same problem and with ball joint problems too. This was prompted by a tv report on Dodge durango ball joint problems. I think chrysler is making bad front end parts for all its light duty trucks.”

NHTSA complaint #10060277, filed 2004-03, 41,000 miles

Brakes: “Year 2000 Dodge Ram Van driver side front brake line rubs on chassis and eventually ruptures under hard stopping condition. Has happened to two yr 2000 Dodge ram vans in our fleet, one a 1500 model, one a 2500 model. Interesting the replacement brake lines we purchased had a different bend to clear the chassis but no recall has been issued.”
