Example complaints

“Recall has been open for years regarding the ignition switch but chrysler never has the part. Further, this car has numerous reports of braking issues that are sporadic and it caused me to rear-end a vehicle on nov. 2, luckily at a very low rate of speed. I let my foot off the brake to inch forward and it would not engage again when I pressed it again moments later. Mechanic couldn't replicate the issue but that is typical for chrysler it seems.”

NHTSA complaint #10862539, filed 2016-05, 129,000 miles“I have received a recall notice over a year ago from fiat chrysler. I have had the vehicle turn off due to the ignition switch multiple times. Both my husband and my son were driving the car at the time. The engine stopped, the power steering did not work, it was on the highway and on a country curvy road.
