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.
My vehicle has been having low air pressure and flat tires for several years. I was finally told that it was a problem with the wheel rims due to corrosion/flaking of the chrome. I have been told by several other people with this make of car that they have the same problem and the tire dealer told me the same thing. It is a Chrysler problem.
I purchased 2 each Eagle ga P205/65R15 tires for the local Goodyear garage on Jan. 20, 2007. I initially wanted to purchase 2 other tires but since they didn't have those in stock, they told me they would give me these tires for the same price as the other tires. In may of 2007, I had to have both valve stems replaced on the tires and again in November of 2007 because the tires kept leaking air. I purchased the tires at with 53861 miles on the car. I currently have 74747 miles and was told Aug 15, 2008 by the same Goodyear store that I needed new tires because the tread was down to 3/32. After they called Corp and I complained, I was told Goodyear wouldn't replace the tires until the tread was at 2/32. My tires leak air constantly and the tread wear is very apparent. I was told it was probably a suspension/non rotating tire problem. The tires were rotated every 4 months during the oil change. Nothing has been done to correct the failure since Goodyear won't even think about replacing them for another month due to not enough tread wear!!
2002 Sebring convertible lxi with multiple still yet unresolved "electrical" problems : door locks (8+ times attempted repair) front passenger power window(2X attempted repair), airbag light resulting failed seat belt tensioner(2X), wiper moter failed, stereo sytem (2X), other issues.
Front brake rotors warped beyond repair at delivery. Front grill area deeply scratched on both sides of grill. Transmission jerks badly when going into gear. All tires badly out of balance at delivery. Because of the out of balance tires and the warped brakes the ABS system sensor could receive false signals therefore rendering the ABS inoperable.
Car delivered with badly warped front brake rotors and the tires were way out of alignment. The conditions described could compromise the ABS system and cause great bodily harm or death to the driver, passengers and anyone hit by this vehicle. Dealer fixed problems at first said vibration was normal for that car. Car was difficult to stop safely.
