Example complaints

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

“Overdrive module and torque convertor both failed at 59000 miles. Had vehicle back to dealer around 34000 for a vibration in the transmission and they stated nothing was wrong, that was the beginning of the torque convertor problem. Dodge won't stand behind their products and an automatic transmission should last 150,000 miles or more without a rebuild.”

NHTSA complaint #10246181, filed 2008-10

“After 2555 miles, I started getting a very musty odor coming from my A/C vents. I brought it to closest dealer (massey-yardley). Work done states check for a leak, evaporator leaking,replace evaporator. At 5099 mileage, I went to the dealer because I was still getting a musty odor. I stated I had allergy testing done which came back positive for mold & mildew and I was having health problems due to this condition and could not use my vehicle. This time the dealer cleaned and deoderized the carpet and told me to remove the rubber mats, which I did. There was no moisture under the mats. …”

NHTSA complaint #723157, filed 2000-05

“The vehicle certification label has the wrong tire size and inflation pressure on it. It states the truck has p225/75r16 tires with a pressure of 41psi. The truck was manufactured with p245/75r16 tires with a max PSI of 35. This could result in overinflation of the tires if a person went by the pressure on the label instead of the tires. I have talked with the dealer and they stated they could not correct the problem and that it is common. If that is the case, why does the DOT require the information be there?”

NHTSA complaint #734833, filed 2000-10
