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.
Rear axle spit in two while driving at 50 mph on back road, lucky not on highway. Tires slammed into wheel wells, caught on fire almost, lots of smoke. Could not control vehicle well, and went off the road at approx 25 mph and hit a bunch of small trees, injured both knees, refused ambulance Transport. Car was towed to my garage and axle replaced with junkyard part and vehicle is back on the road. Scary incident, could have been worse or fatal if this happened on a highway instead of a local road. Axle tube is just thick sheet metal, not really an iron pipe like you would think, very flimsy. Have nice pictures ifyou are interested. Should recall this flimsy axle.
Left front strut mounting plate has rusted thru allowing the strut to penetrate into the engine compartment. This is the only area of rust on the entire vehicle. Chrysler service personel and multiple mechanics have indicated this is a condition they would expect to see on a vehicle 20 - 25 years old; not 6 years old.
Consumer stated that the strut tower rusted out, in result of this problem the engine fell out of vehicle while driving. Dealership notified. Dealer states that consumer can not take vehicle off lot and also says that they can not supply her with a rental car. Please provide additional information.
