Recalls, owner-reported complaints, investigations and safety data

Data refreshed

Owner complaintsComplaints are reports submitted to NHTSA by owners and drivers. NHTSA does not verify most reports before publishing them, and a complaint does not establish that a defect exists. Volume is influenced by how many of a vehicle were sold, how long it has been on the road, and how much attention an issue has received.

Safety recallsA safety recall is issued when a manufacturer or NHTSA determines that a vehicle has a safety-related defect or does not comply with a federal motor vehicle safety standard. Recall repairs are free. Whether a specific vehicle is covered depends on its VIN — a recall listed for a model year does not necessarily apply to every vehicle of that year.
0
InvestigationsNHTSA opens an investigation to examine whether a safety defect may exist. An open investigation is not a determination that a defect exists, and many investigations close without a recall. Investigations can, however, lead to one.
0
Crash or fire reportedComplaints whose submitter recorded that a crash or a fire occurred. These are the reporter's own answers on the NHTSA form, not verified findings.

WHEN IN PARK MY VEHICLE ROLLED BACKWARDS TO THE BOTTOM OF MY DRIVEWAY. I WAS ABLE TO MAKE IT HAPPEN MULTIPLE TIMES. I WAS ABLE TO HAVE MY WIFE RECORD IT ON VIDEO FROM BOTH SIDES OF THE VEHICLE. IT HAPPENED WHEN PARKING PARTIALLY ON ICE. THE PASSENGER REAR TIRE TURNED AGAINST THE ROLL OF THE VEHICLE. ALL 3 OTHER TIRES ROLLED WITH THE VEHICLE. MY VEHICLE HAS THE HEMI 5.7L, 5 SPD TRANSMISSION, AWD, AND MY SHIFTER IS NOT THE DIAL TYPE BUT A REGULAR SHIFTER TYPE. IS THE PASSENGER REAR TIRE THE ONLY ONE THAT KEEPS THE VEHICLE FROM ROLLING REARWARD WHILE IN PARK? I CAN PROVIDE THE VIDEO EVIDENCE.
