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.
This vehicle was purchased used. 2 weeks after purchase the rear brake bads failed causing them to grind on the rotors. Brakes and rotors were replaced. Drivers side seat support is broken. Power steering pump has a leak. Transmission clutches burned out requiring replacement. Water pump failed along with failing timing belt & timing belt tensioner causing needed replacement. Engine has several oil leaks. Rack & pinion system is shifting, causing a thumping sound and vehicle shifting while cornering at times. Selt belt on drivers side doesn't retract properly. Brakes perform poorly, requiring excessive pedal to stop vehicle. Fuel rail is leaking fuel, awaiting mechanic determination if it's covered under the recall.
Auto has exhibited a consistent problem being a grinding noise accompanied by difficulty in steering. This problem manifests itself particularly in cold weather. Dealer has replaced: Right strut assembly, right tie rod end, right stabilizer link, right upper strut mount - replaced the steering rack on two occasions and the steering pump on three occasions. Despite these efforts, the problem persists. I have been advised by a dealer mechanic that the car is unsafe to drive yet I cannot get Chrysler Corp. To remedy the problem.
