Example complaints
Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.
“We took a car that we recently purchased from a private party to our mechanic for an oil change and found that the head gasket is leaking and it will cost $1000.00 for repair. Also found out this is a problem that the Eagle Talon had and that there was never a recall on it. We feel that chrysler should do the repair at no cost to us. We would appreciate any help that you could give us. Thank you for your attention to this matter. Ann pirrello.”
