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.
Tires, though we haven't experienced a blow out or treads peeling off, the tires are wearing much quicker than they should. With only 12,000 mile on the vehicle, the tires look like it's been driven 50,000 miles. Mid October we called chrsyler in auburn hills, to let them know how unsafe we feel driving this truck. We have had this truck brought back to the dealer eleven times for warranty work, eight of which were for brake problems.( dot number: M32kerhx tire size: P245/75R16 )

When reaching the speed of 50 mph and 60 mph vehicle would jerk. Also, when shifting into reverse vehicle would make a crying noise. Car would start in any gear. Owner believes this last problem caused by mechanic.
When accelerating to pass another vehicle, transmission jumped out of gear, and did not go into any other gear until the truck slowed down. This could have caused a crash. Truck has been to the dealership numerous times for this problem, but dealer was not able to duplicate the problem. New valve body installed, but problem still exists.

Transmission jumps (pops) out of first gear. Problem occurs when from a stop, you start to move forward ie; into a intersection, and transmission jumps (pops) out of gear. This problem is a major safety hazard due to the possibility of being hit by another vehicle due to transmission jumping out of gear.
While driving at 75 to 80 mph transmission just quit, causing a very quick break down in vehicle's speed while other vehicles were behind, consumer was able to get out of the way to avoid an accident. Dealer has been contacted.
Ralphs Dodge replaced the rear end with any problems. Now the transmission is gone as of 11/ 12/1999 and still we are without a truck and it doesn't look they plan on fixing it anytime soon.
Reporting defective transmission parts; on two occasions the fifth gear went out due to a nut that retracted and caused the transmission to lose fifth gear. Now on third occasion they will replace transmission. Can NHTSA help or provide additional information on this matter.
While driving approximately 40mph transmission died/stalled out. It had started to jerk before going out. The rpms were revved up. Transmission went into neutral on its own. Then vehicle stopped. Was vacationing in South Carolina when this occurred.
