Example complaints

“Started up my truck to go to town, engine came on about 5 min in the drive so I took it straight to o'reillys where they did the scan and the computer said misfire in cylinder 3. So we changed the spark plugs and took it back to reset the light, started it back up and light came on again with same explanation. …”
NHTSA complaint #11297893, filed 2020-01, 6 miles“Periodically when pressing gas pedal I get no response and truck just lags. Unfortunately this seems to always happen when I'm trying to merge onto the highway or when I'm making a left turn and although I make the turn with oncoming traffic at a good distance sometimes the truck just stops and I have a delay before the truck starts moving again while I'm sitting right in the way of oncoming traffic.”
NHTSA complaint #10821728, filed 2016-01, 15,000 miles“We had a water pump failure where the water pump froze up and broke the serpentine belt at exit 234 on I-15 in montana. It was a friday right after lunch and we were towing our 5th wheel trailer. The dealer in helena couldn't provide service so we were towed to a individuals repair shop in craig, mt. After a water pump, belt and a new starter, we were on the road monday. Chrysler offered no assistance. This should be a recall.”
NHTSA complaint #11031548, filed 2017-10, 34,000 miles“This vehicle has the worst acceleration and take off I have ever noticed. If I had to get out of the way of something, I would not be able too. If not fixed this will defiantly cause an accident. I can't even pull out onto the highway and get up to the same speed as other traffic. When I got in my wreck in june I was trying to pass someone who was driving slow and I could not get around them quick enough and they cut me off causing our vehicle to collide.”
NHTSA complaint #10627954, filed 2014-08, 2,000 miles“In the last month when I have driven my truck for any amount of time, I have heard my turbo making an odd noise that doesn't sound like my turbo typically sounds like so I posted it to a few forums I belong to pertaining to my make and model of truck. Well the response I'm getting from them is that it is the vgt turbo actuator failing. And upon doing research for this part failing in other people's cummins 6.7 engines, it's very common at or below 100k. If this part of the engine is this big of a fail point of the turbo it should be recalled and fixed so these turbos have a much longer life”
