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.

AT ABOUT 10:15 PM EDT, JULY 31, 2015, I WAS DRIVING MY 2001 CHRYSLER PROWLER EAST ON INTERSTATE 64 IN VIRGINIA. I WAS BETWEEN EXIT 167 AND EXIT 171. I WAS TRAVELING AT 60 MPH AND NOTICED THAT THE GREEN "CRUISE CONTROL ON" LIGHT ON MY DASHBOARD WAS ON. I HAD NOT TURNED THE CRUISE CONTROL ON. I ATTEMPTED TO TURN THE CRUISE CONTROL OFF. THE CRUISE CONTROL WOULD NOT TURN OFF...IT ALSO WOULD NOT ALLOW ME TO REDUCE MY SPEED. USING MY BRAKES, I SLOWED THE CAR, LEFT THE HIGHWAY AT EXIT 171, PULLED INTO A GAS STATION PARKING LOT, AND TURNED THE CAR OFF WITH THE IGNITION KEY WHILE THE CAR WAS IN GEAR. AFTER TURNING THE CAR OFF I PUT THE TRANSMISSION INTO PARK POSITION. WHEN I HAD CALMED DOWN I TURNED THE CAR BACK ON. THE CRUISE CONTROL WAS NO LONGER ON AND DROVE TO MY DESTINATION. I FOUND THIS SITUATION TO BE BOTH FRIGHTENING AND ANNOYING.
