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.

Latest Aug 10, 2010
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.

OVER THE PAST 5 YEARS - SINCE THE REPLACEMENT MY SERPENTINE BELT ON MY 2000 CHRYSLER VOYAGER HAS POPPED OFF 4 OR 5 TIMES. SINCE OUR LOCAL DEALER IS NO LONGER HERE I HAD TO PAY $93.21 TODAY TO HAVE THE BELT PUT BACK. THE MECHANIC CHECKED THE BELT AND TENSIONER AND FOUND BOTH IN PRACTICALLY BRAND NEW CONDITION AND GOOD WORKING ORDER. HE COULD NOT FIND A REASON WHY IT WOULD COME OFF. EACH TIME IT HAS COME OFF WAS AFTER A RAIN. IN RESEARCHING THIS PROBLEM ONLINE I FOUND THAT IT HAS HAPPENED A LOT TO MANY OTHERS ALSO. MY FORMER DEALER'S MECHANICS ALSO COULD NOT EXPLAIN WHY THIS OCCURS. THIS IS A DANGEROUS SITUATION THAT NEEDS A QUICK AND PERMANENT SOLUTION SINCE ALL THE POWER CONTROLS SUCH AS STEERING ARE MANAGED BY THIS ONE BELT. ONCE OUT YOU NO LONGER HAVE ANY POWER ASSISTED STEERING. *TR UPDATED 06/30/11 *BF UPDATED 07/01/11
