“The thin foil film used on interior of car is flaking on inside of drivers door handle, of which I was unaware. Cut my left ring finger while I was driving at speed on a 2 lane country road. So startled me I went left of center before I could regain control and would have cause a head on crash had someone been coming the other way!!! Very painful deep laceration!”Owner report · Structure · Aug 2023
“Dear sir or madam: my daughter was driving to the university of alabama when she had a catastrophic failure on her rear, passenger tire. She was able to pull off the road as soon as the failure happened. The failure was very odd. The rubber completely separated around the rim. A circle approximately 30mm remained on the rim. All of the rubber completely separated making a perfect cut 360 deg. Around the front face of the tire. After perusing the internet, I was unable to find a similar failure mode. Thus, I am concerned about the other tires on the car.”Owner report · Tires · Nov 2020
“This is my 2nd request. I have defective airbags & they have been this way since the car was new. It only has 40k miles on it. I have tried contacting chrysler numerous times, they have not replied. This is very dangerous. I have gone to numerous dealerships, private repairs and put over $2500 of my own money into this issue, but it still isn't working etc. Everyone says this call should be recalled. I need help!”Owner report · Electrical System · Feb 2019
