PREVIOUSLY JUST FILED COMPLAINT UNDER POWER TRAIN HEADING REGARDING SHIFTER STUCK IN PARK ISSUE. INFORMED BY SUPERVISOR AT CHRYSLER RECALL CENTER THAT "LOOKING INTO ISSUES & FILING A COMPLAINT ON SUCH ISSUES SHOULD BE DONE ON THE CHRYSLER WEBSITE, NOT ON NHTSA.GOV BECAUSE THEY'RE NOT A RELIABLE AND TRUSTWORTHY SITE!" SERIOUSLY, BECAUSE I WAS PRETTY MUCH TOLD LIKE EVERYONE ELSE WITH THIS ISSUE "IT'S MY PROBLEM" .

Reading this record

No unusual pattern of severe incidents in the complaint record.

Complaint counts track how many cars were sold and how long they have been on the road as much as they track quality. A common model from 2013 has had a decade to accumulate reports; a rare one from last year has not. The signal worth weighing is in the severity columns, in whether the same component keeps appearing, and in whether the manufacturer eventually opened a recall for it.

Recall repairs are free for as long as the recall stands. Check whether a specific car still has open work at NHTSA's VIN lookup.
