This data is from the NHTSA — the US gov't agency tasked with vehicle safety. Complaints are spread across multiple & redundant categories, & are not organized by problem.
So how do you find out what problems are occurring? For this NHTSA complaint data, the only way is to read through the comments below. Any duplicates or errors? It's not us.
While reverse out of the driveway at low speeds vehicle accelerated to a high speed. Also, when braking there was extended stopping distance. Dealership will be notified.
This car started having problems in approximately April. Tires were replaced in April. Brakes were replaced, then sliding section to sunroof fell apart. Then the termostat went out and replaced. Car stopped, was told it was the water pump, had it towed, was then told it was the modulator fan. Contacted the extended warrenty company, was told by warrenty people that it was not covered and then informed by them that it was also my ac and the compressor. Dealer refused to honor the remaining existing warranty that was left on the car.
When driving at 55 mph coming off beltway ramp and upon applying brakes pedal went to floorboard, brakes failed to respond, causing extended stopping distance. Consumer contacted dealer, dealer noticed hose wore out, causing brake failure.
Rear brakes improperly adjusted by manufacturer, resulting in front brakes overloading on braking, which in turn resulted in warped front brake rotors. Dealer adjusted the rear brakes and replaced the front brake rotors. Since the work was covered under warranty, I assume Chrysler (now daimler/Chrysler) is aware of the problem. Very disconcerting to have a safety-related problem in a car costing upwards of $25,000.
