Example complaints
Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.
“I was in a front end collision causing $20,000 dollars in damage and the air bags failed to go off. The front end was completely destroyed yet no air bag deployment. I was travelling about 35 MPH and had very little time to brake. I hit the other vehicle broadside. I was on a 4 lane road and going straight when the accident occurred.”
NHTSA complaint #11143329, filed 2018-10, 52,000 miles“Stop lamps, head lamps, exterior lighting, door locks. Repeatedly going out. Door locks and window no longer working. Recall p32 and n59 address these issues, however chrysler states our manufacturing month is not within their recall dates. This has happened repeatedly since purchasing vehicle. We took it to a repair shop and they pulled up these recalls with our VIN from shopkeypro. All dates and mileage are approximate since this has happened repeatedly.”
NHTSA complaint #11326457, filed 2020-05, 5,000 miles“Service airbag system light comes on constantly. I have taken it to the dealer and they cannot find an issue. It is not only annoying, but flat out scares me to think that the airbags could inadvertently deploy, or fail when needed. There is no recall on the vehicle, nor can the dealer make heads or tails of the issue.”
NHTSA complaint #10745593, filed 2015-08, 13,000 miles“The truck was recalled and repaired or up dated as per recall notices. Then I started having trouble with my cruise control. My dealer checked the switch and fuse , they where ok. The tech said there is maybe something broke in the clock spring. I only have 29k on the truck. I think they may have broke something in one of the recall fixes. There seems to be other people with the same trouble. I don't think they fixing the recalls properly. Why should I pay for their guess work and/or sloppy work.”
NHTSA complaint #11252593, filed 2019-08, 24,000 miles“A red warning light appeared on my dash which says to” service airbags.” It has been on for a few months now. I’m really concerned now since I heard about airbags being recalled.”
