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.

THE SERVICE ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL, SERVICE AIR BAGS AND SERVICE ANTILOCK BRAKE SYSTEM INDICATOR MESSAGES CAME ON IN MY 2015 CHRYSLER 300C. AFTER DIAGNOSTIC, A CODE CAME UP THAT MY HEADLIGHT HOUSING HAS A SHORT IN IT. I HAVE REPLACED THE HEADLIGHT BULBS SEVERAL TIME SINCE I'VE HAS THE CAR. IT WAS ALSO FOUND THAT THERE IS A MANUFACTURER RECALL ON PARTS OF THE AIR BAG SYSTEM BUT THAT DIDN'T SOLVE MY ISSUES. AFTER SPENDING SEVERAL HUNDRED DOLLARS ON ELECTRICAL PARTS AND LABOR I FEEL THAT CHRYSLER NEEDS TO TAKE A CLOSER LOOK AT ALL OF THE SIMILAR COMPLAINTS ON A CAR THAT IS ONLY 4 YEARS OLD. ALL OF THE INDICATOR MESSAGES CAME ON WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS IN MOTION. I DRIVE MAINLY IN A HIGHWAY ENVIRONMENT.

AT 24K MILES THIS VEHICLE STRANDED ME IN LANSING MICHIGAN WITH THE 3/36 BUMPER TO BUMPER STILL IN EFFECT. MY TRIP WAS INTERUPTED AND WAS OFFERED NO PLACE TO STAY OR ANY TRANSPORTATION TO MY HOME. THE VEHICLE WOULD BE IN THE SHOP FOR THE WEEKEND AND TWO DAYS INTO THE NEXT WEEK. DOWN 5 DAYS JUST TO RETURN IT NOT FIXED WITH ONLY THE SOFTWARE BEING REFLASHED. A TOTAL OF 4 TRIPS TO THE DEALER WHERE PURCHASED WITH NO STEERING, NO SHIFTING AND OTHER ELECTRICAL PROBLEMS. THE RADIO WAS REPLACED, THE POWER STEERING UNIT, A MAJOR WIRING LOOM, AND THE LOOM TO THE EBRAKE SYSTEM. VEHICLE LOST POWER STEERING ONLY TO REGAIN IT SOME 20 MILES DOWN THE ROAD CAUSING THE VEHICLE TO SWERVE. TRANS WOULD NOT UP SHIFT. GPS WAS TELLING ME I WAS SOMEWHERE I WASN'T ABOUT 60 MILES AWAY. THIS CAR IS A LEMON IN MY OPINION, AND I NO LONGER TRUST IT OR THE SERVICE OF ANY OF THE DEALERS TO KEEP IT ON THE ROAD. FOUR TRIPS AND ALMOST 3 WEEKS OF TROUBLE, AND A SOLUTION AT LAST. BUT, IS IT????? NOT EVEN THE DEALER KNOWS. WHEN ASKED TO CONTACT THE REGIONAL SERVICE REP WITH CHRYSLER, THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT AGREED, BUT HAD NO IDEA WHEN HE OR SHE COULD BE REACHED. FOUR SERVICE REQUESTS; A POSSIBLE SOLUTION WHICH MAY WORK LONG TERM AND MAY NOT. WHAT NOW??? AND, I HAVE A 2018 JEEP CHEROKEE WHICH MAY DEVELOP THE SAME PROBLEMS. UGH!

MY CAR IS TRAMLINING. IN OTHER WORDS, MY CAR HAS THE TENDENCY TO FOLLOW IMPERFECTIONS IN THE ROAD AND ENDS UP YANKING THE STEERING WHEEL OUT OF MY HANDS WHENEVER THE FRONT TIRES FIND A RUT IN THE ROAD. THIS HAS CAUSED MY CAR TO DANGEROUSLY PULL TOWARDS ONCOMING TRAFFIC. ALSO, MY RADIO PRESET BUTTONS ON ENTERTAINMENT CENTER SOMETIMES DON'T FUNCTION WHEN INITIALLY STARTING MY CAR LEADING TO THE INABILITY TO CHANGE RADIO STATIONS. THE BUTTONS FOR MY HEATED SEATS AND HEATED STEERING WHEEL ON MY ENTERTAINMENT CENTER START-UP SCREEN SOMETIMES WILL NOT REMAIN ON AFTER ACTIVATING THEM, WHICH RESULTS IN HAVING TO REACTIVATE THEM THROUGH THE SECONDARY ACCESS MENU AFTER THE INITIAL START-UP SCREEN DISAPPEARS AND THE MAIN MENU APPEARS.
