Example complaints
Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.
“Engine warning light came on upon starting vehicle. Checked all fluids, and that gas cap was tight. Contacted dealership who said to drive it for a few days to see if light remained on. Indicator light went off several days later. My engine is now exhibiting what sounds like a stuck lifter and chrysler is refusing to honor the warranty on the lifetime powertrain warranty. I also had a steering dampener fail on the vehicle at 32k miles which chrysler made me pay half for fixing.”
