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.
The contact owns a 1995 Dodge Avenger. While driving approximately 4 mph, the vehicle spontaneously dropped on the front passenger side. Upon further inspection, the contact noticed that the front control arm fractured from severe corrosion, which caused the ball joint to fail. The vehicle was towed to the contact's residence and he is in the process of notifying the manufacturer in reference to NHTSA campaign id number 99V066003 (suspension:front:control arm:lower ball joint). The failure and current mileages were 142,000.
I have had this car in the shop twice in the last year to replace these ball-joints that were supposedly replace last August before I owned it. That means the recall has been done twice already and needs to be done again. What's the point in replacing a junk part with another junk part.
Alarm continually goes off, defroster will not work unless the A/C is activated in the front and rear inadequate defrosting, suspension shaked due to bad bushings. Other things have occurred as well - too much to keep track of.
