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.
Vehicle was taken in for repairs engine head gaskets which were leaking due to being torn. Vehicle repaired, but gasket problems reappeared at 20,000 miles. Mechanic noticed oil leaking on garage floor & it was repaired, again.
Whenever turning the steering wheel either left or right, it would make a clunking, popping noise. The sway bar went out. Also, was informed the by the mechanic that power steering rack/ coil, and engine head gasket need replacing.
Engine head gaskets have cracked prematurally, resulting in oil leakage onto the engine. Dealer has inspected the vehicle, and the manufacturer has been notified.
Engine head gaskets has blown out twice, resulting in an oil leakage. Dealer has been notified. Timing belt was changed at 61,524 miles. Switch for oil indicator burned out causing oil leakage (5-11-98).
While driving at 35 mph without and with no prior warning vehicle stalls and accelerates on its own. Also upon applying the brakes, pedal is soft and the vehicle overheats and shuts down.
Engine leaks oil. The brake pads wear out every 6 months & have to be changed. Have taken to dealer & informed the leaking is from cracked engine head gasket. Head gaskets needed to be replaced.
Engine head gasket does not fit properly, causing the gaskets to blow out/engine to cease. The vehicle has been towed in, and dealer had the head gasket replaced twice by the dealer.
One week after purchase, all oil was gone from car. Dealer first replaced the oil pressure sending unit, kept leaking, then replaced the valve cover gasket, kept leaking, then replaced the cam seals. Dealer assured me that it was not the head gasket. Still leaking oil. Took it to personal mechanic and it is the head gasket leaking. Dealer has refused to refund purchase price or replace vehicle. This has been over a 2 month period. The vehicle also has very noisy brakes, especially when it has sat for an extended period of time (overnight). The car has a shaking and rattling in the steering column when going over bumps, especially at slow speeds. The dash board reflects on the windshield when it is sunny and the glare makes it very difficult to see at times.
Blown head gasket at 62000 miles. You would think for the money you pay for a car today this problem should not happen at this many mile and the most important thing how many cars its happening to! the internet can tell you many things when the dealer says no thats not the problem and charges you a 100 dollars and car over heats again leaving me standed and needing atow I think thier is a cover up going on because Dodge does not want to pay for thier mistake and they should! please look into this head gasket if leaked oil onto header could cause a fire. Thnk you mike casterline
