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.

Crash reported
HOOD LATCH FAILURE. HOOD POPPED OPEN AND SMASHED THE ROOF ON MY TRUCK. FIRST DAIMLER CHRYSLER SAID THEY WOULD NOT COVER IT BECAUSE I RECIEVED A RECALL NOTICE (WHICH I DIDN'T) AND ALSO THE PLACE THAT I HAD THE RECALL FIXED TO BEGIN WITH WILL NOT FIX MY VEHICLE. I HAVE HAD THIS HOOD LATCH REPLACED ONCE ALREADY IN JUNE 2001 ( OR SO I THOUGHT) WHEN THE HOOD BLEW OPEN THE FIRST TIME.*AK

Brakes

VEHICLE TOWED BECAUSE IT HAD FAILURE OF BRAKE LINES...(RUSTED IN HALF). THIS SHOULD HAVE NEVER OCCURRED IN A CLOSED SYSTEM. NO WATER WAS ABLE TO GET INTO THE SYSTEM. IF THE BRAKE LINES RUSTED IN HALF AS IS WHAT OCCURRED ENABLING LOSS OF BRAKE FLUID...THIS WOULD RESULT IN FAILURE OF THE VEHICLES BRAKING SYSTEM. THIS TYPE OF FAILURE WOULD PUT ALL OF THE PUBLIC AT RISK AS FAILURE COULD OCCUR AT ANY TIME. FORTUNATELY, MY VEHICLE WAS BEING TOWED TO A DODGE DEALER FOR REPLACEMENT OF THE BRAKE LINES AS THEY RUSTED IN HALF IN A VERY SHORT TIME FRAME.*AK

Fuel system
Filed Aug 28, 2001
THE FUEL FILTER CLOGS BUT THERE IS A SHORT BYPASS HOSE TO THE MIDDLE LEVEL OF THE TANK, WHEN THE FILTER CLOGS THE SYSTEM RECEIVES UNFILTERED THROUGH THE BYPASS HOSE, WHEN THE LEVEL GOES BELOW 1/2 TANK. THE PUMP SUCKS AIR AND THE SYSTEM SHUTS DOWN FOR LACK OF FUEL. THIS IS A DESIGN FLAW AND NOT A CRITICAL SAFETY PROBLEM BUT IT DOES AFFECT SAFETY TO AN EXTENT. I.E. YOU THINK YOU HAVE A HALF TANK OF GAS. BUT IT MAY STOP AT ANY TIME WITHOUT WARNING. O IN HEAVY TRAFFIC LOR ON THE RAIL ROAD TRACKS.

SUBJECT ON PARKING LAMP CIRCUIT OVERLOAD ON 1994 AND LATER FULL-SIZED TRUCKS. *TT
Manufacturers file copies of the bulletins they send to dealers with NHTSA. These often describe diagnostic or repair procedures for a known condition. They are not recalls: repairs described in a bulletin are usually only free if the vehicle is still under warranty or the manufacturer has extended coverage.

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.
