Complaints on fileComplaints 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.

WHEN TRAVELING AT DIFFERENT CITY OR HWY SPEEDS ALL OF A SUDDEN THE BRAKE LIGHT WILL TURN ON. DOESN'T SEEM TO AFFECT THE SPEED OR BRAKING OF THE CAR BUT IF I APPLY THE BRAKE PEDAL WHILE THE LIGHT IS ON SOMETIMES THE CAR WILL PULL TO THE LEFT OR RIGHT BUT WHEN THE LIGHT IS OFF AND I APPLY THE BRAKE PEDAL THE CAR DOESN'T PULL LEFT OR RIGHT. ONCE THE LIGHT IS ON IT STAYS ON AND SETS A CODE AND LIGHT STAYS ON ON UNTIL I STOP THE CAR AND TURN OFF THE IGN SWITCH. I HAVE HAD THE CAR INTO THE DEALER MANY TIMES AND THEY HAVE VERIFIED THE CODE.THEY HAVE TRIED DIFFERENT THINGS BUT I STILL HAVE THE PROBLEM. THIS HAS HAPPENED MANY TIMES OVER THE LAST YEAR.

FOR THE LAST 1-2 YEARS, EVERY TIME I FILL UP MY GAS TANK MY 2009 CHRYSLER ASPEN WILL STALL REPEATEDLY. WHEN THE VEHICLE STALLS, ALL STEERING AND CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE IS LOST. THE CAR WILL RESTART AFTER ABOUT 30-45 SECONDS. ONCE THE VEHICLE HAS BEEN DRIVEN APPROXIMATELY THREE TIMES AFTER FUELING UP, THE PROBLEM STOPS UNTIL THE NEXT TIME I FILL UP THE TANK. THE ISSUE OCCURS WITHOUT FAIL EVER TIME I FILL UP MY TANK. I HAVE HAD IT IN THE SHOP A NUMBER OF TIMES AND THE PROBLEM HAS NOT BEEN ABLE TO BE DETERMINED OR REPAIRED. THERE HAVE BEEN NO CODES WHEN A DIAGNOSTIC IS RAN (ONE TIME THERE WAS A SMALL EVAP. LEAK BUT ONCE THE IGNITION COIL WAS REPLACED, THE CODE WAS GONE). I HAVE HAD THE IGNITION COIL REPLACED, SPARK PLUGS REPLACED, EVAPORATION CONTROL CANISTER REPLACED, ETC. OFTEN, THERE IS A STRONG GAS SMELL AFTER FILLING UP, BUT THERE IS NO LEAK FROM THE GAS TANK THAT HAS BEEN ABLE TO BE DETECTED.

Higher-selling and older vehicles accumulate more reports. Counts are not failure rates and are not directly comparable between vehicles that sold in very different numbers.
