Example complaints

“Started my car with the remote starter. Everything from wipers to alarm to window washer to lights went on a fritz. Smoke came out of the hood. I made sure car was turned off and opened the hood to discover a fire. I had a small fire extinguisher and was barely enough to extinguish the fire. Once extinguished I called the dealer who had just serviced the car and am waiting for an idea why it happened. It melted the electronic components next to the air dam, wires around the battery etc.”
NHTSA complaint #10584757, filed 2014-04, 30,000 miles“We have a 2009 right hand drive 4 door wrangler. It is used for postal work. Air bag light keeps going off and on. There is a recall for this but chrysler will not honor it on ours for some reason there is a recall number of11v528000 air bags frontal. They want us to pay for all work on this and it should be included in recall. In the meantime airbags will not work if needed.”
