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.

THE BRAKE MOTOR MAKES A NOISE, THE PEDAL IS HARD. WHEN I TOOK IT TO THE DEALERSHIP BECAUSE THERE IS A LIFETIME WARRANTY ON REPLACING THE BRAKE ACTUATOR PISTON ASSEMBLYAND THE PUMP MOTOR, I WAS TOLD IT WAS NOT THESE PARTS BUT THE ACCUMULATOR WHICH NEEDED REPLACED. THE CAR IS UNSAFE TO DRIVE AND WILL GO OUT AT ANY GIVEN TIME. I FEEL SINCE THE DEALERSHIP " MCLOUGHLIN CHRYSLER JEEP" SERVICE WRITERS ARE ON "OMMISSION" AND NOT HOURLY WAGES, THAT THEY ARE TELLING ME I HAVE TO SPEND OVER $600 TO REPLACE A PART THAT SHOULD BE COVERED ON THIS SAFETY RECALL. THE DEALERSHIP IS TRYING TO MAKE MONEY OFF ME INSTEAD OF FIXING THE PART THAT IS OUT ON MY CAR. *TR
