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.
Steering wheel is out of line instead in driver's hands at a 10:00 to 2 angle while hands are at 12 and 8 angles. In order for vehicle to go strait has to turn steering wheel to left. Consumer had vehicle towed to dealer, and they stated that steering rack and tie rods went out. Steering has been on back order for about two weeks or more.
I purchased this vehicle with the intent on having last through the pay-off. I am very concerned about this happening. At 30,000 mile the air-conditioning system went out completely and had to be replaced. At 50,000 the transmission went out and had to be replaced. A transmission was replaced at a Dodge dealer but I was only given 12,000 mile warranty. At 70,000 miles the front-end struts, strut plates, inner tie rods, and other was replace. This front end is still not right as it drifts and has too much play in the steering. Many others with the exact same repairs!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
The steering column is loose, causing the steering wheel to vibrate, resulting in loss of control of the vehicle. Owner has not driven the vehicle since 9/97 because of the vibration and loss of control. The dealer has been notified.
Owner states that he was involved in a frontal crash when his vehicle hit pole after the steering wheel locked into place, dealer replaced a coupler and the problem returned, when owner took back to dealers he was told that it was secondary damage.
