Example complaints
Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.
“My digital cluster is out. Can't see info if something is wrong with truck. It's like the same issue with recall 13v486000 but chrysler says it doesn't cover my truck. It has left me stranded on the side of the road because I couldn't tell what was wrong with truck when it was dinging.”
NHTSA complaint #11413374, filed 2021-04, 115,000 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“While traveling on an interstate highway at approximately 70 MPH with the cruise control engaged, I shifted in my seat and my knee hit the key fob and the car's ignition turned off. Fortunately, there were no other vehicles around me and I was able to coast to a stop and re-start the vehicle.”
NHTSA complaint #10607687, filed 2014-07, 7,880 miles“The ignition module on both of my foreman's vehicles have gone out around the same time period. One of them was left stranded for two hours in 110 degree weather as the truck failed to start. Both trucks were around 50,000 miles and were past their factory warranty for parts. Both of these trucks were purchased new in april of 2014. I believe this is more than coincidence. These repairs are going to cost my company thousands of dollars.”
