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.

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.

Electrical
Filed Jul 27, 2005
VEHICLE ENGINE QUITS COMPLETELY AND ABRUPTLY WITH NO WARNING. THE AUTHORIZED SERVICE CENTER HAS CHANGED THE DISTRIBUTOR 4 TIMES, EVERY 10,000 MILES. THE LAST THREE TIMES IT FAILED WE WERE ON EITHER MAIN ROADS OR THE EXPRESSWAY TRAVELING THE SPEED LIMIT. WHEN THE ENGINE QUITS WE LOOSE POWER BRAKES, POWER STEERING AND THE VEHICLE SLOWS DOWN RAPIDLY CAUSING A MAJOR BACK UP AND BRAKE SQUEALING BEHIND US. IT IS TO THE POINT WHERE OUR PEOPLE DO NOT WANT TO DRIVE THE VEHICLE AS IT IS UNSAFE, BOTH THE DEALER AND CHRYSLER TELL US THAT THERE IS NOTHING THEY CAN DO AND WE MUST TOLERATE THIS EXPENSIVE AND VERY DANGEROUS SITUATION. IN ALL CASES ALL FAILURES RESULTED IN THE VEHICLE STOPPED IN THE ROADWAY AND NECESSITATED A TOW VEHICLE.

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. Older model years have had longer for reports to accumulate.
