Example complaints

“I purchased new a 2017 winnebago trend motorhome on a 2016 Ram promaster chassis. The outside rear view mirrors come in 2 parts. The lower mirror due to an engineering error can not move out far enough to permit a safe view of traffic. Essentially it affords mostly a view of the body of the vehicle. The local dodge agency agrees but upon contact of dodge and winnebago neither will furnish a mirror to give me a safe view. Lane”

“I want to complain about a company vehicle which I drive - it is a 2017 Ram Promaster City - while talking to other drivers we share the same problem. We don't know how fast we are going since the speedometer is to dark!!! Nobody cares!!!!”

NHTSA complaint #11065216, filed 2018-01, 45 miles

“Instrument panel speedometer. Daytime speed numbers small, orange and when sun is shining - you have to guess what speed you are traveling - particularly 34/40 MPH - the needle doesn't show up either. At night the light is ok, but daytime driving it is impossible to fallow speed limits when you have to guess at vehicle speed. Digital display doesn't give speed. Tachometer has larger numbers and is less shaded. Picture below is similar to my vehicle, but if you take a picture in daylight - the numbers do not show up. Particularly when you have bifocals!”
