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.
Cruise control will not shut off at steering wheel button. Also, cruise control will not shut off at touch of brakes. Vehicle in four times for service. Chrysler contacted, vehicle still defective.
While driving at 35 mph vehicle accelerated in low speed. Consumer put transmission into reverse and then into park, and vehicle sideswiped another vehicle at 15 mph0. Upon impact, driver's side air bag deployed and vehicle started to accelerate at high speed, and and vehicle went out of control. Consumer applied the brakes, and the vehicle wouldn't stop. It fishtailed. And consumer wife, who was pregnant, had to jump out of the vehicle due to vehicle veering into oncoming traffic. Then driver put vehicle into park, and engine continued racing. Turned key off and jumped out and ran behind his wife.
Since July of 1997, I have experienced the transmission slipping out of gear into neutral at highway speeds. Also, a thump in the front end intermittently while driving down all types of road, a spark knocked so loud I sometimes wonder if the motor is going to last. There is often the smell of burning wires and burning fluid and sometimes the cab fills with smoke. In addition, cruise control gains speed (sometimes 5 to 8 mph over what it is set at). The odometer gains miles.
While traveling 60mph w/cruise control engaged, started to push coast button to slow down. Vehicle did not slow down, but increased in speed. Cruise control did not disengage. Taking vehicle to dealer.
