Example complaints
Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.
“I have owned my car for only 2 years and 7 months. I bought a new car so I would not have to go through all these problems. My warranty has expired but I feel that chrysler isn't dealing with known issues that are a direct result of there own design flaws. I was given the goodwill warranty for my head gasket but was required to copay 250 dollars. My request to have my A/C fixed was denied even though there are documented warranties for other models with similar problems. …”
