Example complaints
Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.
“2002 stratus makes loud noise when turning vehicle and going across road bumps at same time. Our drive has a 6 in sloped curb that when pulling out of, or pulling into, is a constant source of this noise. Dealer service tech went on test ride with me heard the noise and could not find source. He wanted to keep car for several days to determine problem.”
NHTSA complaint #10018881, filed 2003-05, 100 miles“I have two large cracks that have appeared in the dash of my vehicle. I do not know how the cracks occurred, they just appeared. Because of the cracks, I'm afraid that in a crash the dash will fall apart and harm those individuals in the vehicle. At this point, nothing has been done to correct this problem.”
NHTSA complaint #10181306, filed 2007-02“Dashboard continues to crack in several places. This raises safety concerns in terms of frontal impact and air bag deployment. Vehicle was never in a crash that would cause cracks.”
