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.
Rotors are shot!! only 26000 miles can is maintained superbly. Ive read of past recalls on bad rotors by Dodge. Rotors were thin and rusting from inside out had to replace or risk major accident.
At 32,000 we had severe shaking while applying brakes. We took our truck in to have it looked at, shop said that front brake rotors were bad and had to be replaced, they could not be turned. Had them both replaced with after market rotors. A/C clutch assy replaced at 39000, at 40000 miles we noticed a groaning and sqeaking noise coming from the drivers front wheel when exiting the vehicle, and noticed an oily substance on driveway under truck. We had both problems looked at, found 4 bad ball joints 1 needs replacing imediately, also rack and pinion seals are bad. Est. $1700 to repair joints and rack. Ball joints are sealed and cannot be greased, they should last alot longer than 40000 miles.
Driving on wet, snowy road at 40 mph. My car swerved violently to the right and into an embankment. Have had repeated brake problems with brake rotor warping in the past. After the accident and repair, the car developed violent vibtration in front end. Repair shop diagnosed bad front wheel bearings. Repair shop informed me that replacement parts are on "national back order" with 600+waiting list. Appears to be yet another design flaw which may well have contributed to my accident and loss of vehicle control.
