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.
Was driving in the rain and my low beams shut off. The highbeams continued to work as well as my marker lights, and flood lights. I replaced both bulbs and still had no low beams. Everything else works except them. Did research on the internet to learn the 2005 models had a similar issue and there was a recall but the 2006 models are not covered even though it is the same issue.
The contact owns a 2006 Chrysler Pacifica. The contact stated that the headlights failed to operate normally. The dealer has not diagnosed the failure. The contact is aware of the safety risk since the headlights could shut off while driving and crash could occur. The current mileage was 56,000 and the failure mileage was 55,000.
Incident #1: 3 days after purchasing the vehicle, I noticed there was something wrong with my brakes. I took it in and was told that my rotors needed to be replaced (the vehicle had 30 miles on it when I bought it). I was told all the rotors were warped. Incident #2: approximately 4 weeks after purchasing, my left headlight went out. Not a major problem, but still an inconvenience...especially when car is brand new. Incident #3: I was making a right hand turn out of the parking lot when vehicle stalled on me. My steering wheel locked up and I glided across 2 lanes of the road (amazingly without hurting myself or others). No warning at all. Vehicle started back up just find...but very scary. Took it into the service and was told that my computer needed to be "flashed" incident #4: ABS light came on out of nowhere and I felt a "fluttering" of the brake pedal when pressing the brake. I was told the sensors needed to be replaced and they were. Incident #5: received my vehicle back from repair on incident #4 on Tuesday, vehicle is back in the shop today (2 days later). Fluttering from the brake pedal again. Unsure what the outcome is...still in service. Fortunately, none of these incidents have caused me, my family, or others any injury or harm but each of these incidents (besides the headlight) could have resulted in serious injuries or resulted in deaths.
