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.
Hit the brakes heavily to avoid a stopped vehicle. Four miles later, the brake pedal went to the floor while proceeding down a three mile mountain road. The vehicle was finally stopped by placing the transmission in low range, pumping the brakes and application of the emergency brake. Brake fluid was leaking from both metal brake lines just aft of the anti-lock control valve. The metal lines are severely corroded at the junction of the solid metal line and the braided stainless steel section. Search of the internet at "www.ripoffreport.com" revealed that mine isn't an isolated case. Report #153655 at that site reads identical to my experience.
The contact owns a 1999 Chrysler Town and country. While the contact's daughter was approaching a traffic light, the brake pedal extended to the floor when it was depressed. The vehicle barely slowed down and glided through a red light. A mechanic stated that the brake light separated from the stainless steel to the solid steel. The current mileage was 100,020 and failure mileage was 100,001.
The vehicle was equipped with heated seats. The owner took the vehicle to the dealer to have the seats checked. The problem was not detected. Now, the passenger seats are over heating also. The owner had the seats replaced on two seperate occassions. Provide further details. The consumer stated that all four seats failed. Both front seats had burn holes in them. The consumer heard a noise coming from the front of the vehicle when going over bumps. The consumer was told that the strut tower went bad and had it replaced. The consumer complained that a vibration is felt while driving as if the vehicle drove on four flat tires. The consumer heard a whining noise when using the am radio which only happed when using the brake.
Dealership tried but could not repair wharever is causing the clunking noise coming from under the front suspension. Other refers to seat heater burning a hole in the seat, dealership and manufacture refuse to repair.
