Example complaints
Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.
“Front windshield wipers sometimes will not turn on. The rear wiper and both washers work fine. Some components were replaced in 1999, but problem continues.”
NHTSA complaint #10254491, filed 2009-01, 1,200 miles“Intermittent wiper function ceased working correctly. Would wipe a couple times then quit. Turning it on and off caused it to work a couple more times then quit. Dangerous, since one relies on the intermittent function to continue to work. Problem came and went. More noticeable in wet weather (when of course you actually need the wipers) then in the dealers dry shop. Finally dealer replaced the multi-function switch. Worked better for a while, then same problem returned. Dealer cannot find anything else wrong. Refused to consider clock-spring problem.”
NHTSA complaint #10114842, filed 2005-03, 35,672 miles“The power window on the drivers side just became sluggish and finally went down and wouldn't come back up, a bracket was broken, the entire assembly had to be replaced. The transmission would not go into gear during very cold weather and it was not a consistent problem to begin with. When you put the car in drive the engine would rev but it would not move forward. Then finally after warming up a few minutes it would lurch forward and be fine. Finally this past week it began making a grinding noise in reverse and refused to go in reverse. …”
NHTSA complaint #10070394, filed 2004-01, 58,000 miles“The contact owns a 1998 Plymouth Grand Voyager. The contact stated that the windshield wipers would activate without warning and would not turn off. The dealer has not inspected the vehicle. The mechanic suggested that the cause of failure could be electrical. The current mileage is 178,000 and failure mileage was 170,000.”
NHTSA complaint #10196593, filed 2007-07, 170,000 miles“G. The side window on our minivan shattered while the vehicle was parked in our driveway. The front windows were down, so there was not heat build-up in the vehicle. The police came and reported that it looked as if it had just shattered out from the inside. Since nobody was inside the van, it had to have happened on its own. Also, we asked our dealer about this, and he said that there have been Plymouth vans like ours around town that have had the windows just shatter on their own due to this solar glass that is being used. …”
