NHTSA files every complaint against a named sub-assembly, not just a system. This is the difference between knowing it was "the engine" and knowing which part of it — the list to hand a mechanic.
Odometer readings owners gave when they filed. About half of all complaints include one.
A spike years after the car went on sale usually means a part wearing out on schedule across the whole fleet — the kind of pattern no single owner can see from inside their own car.
An investigation is the step before a recall: the agency has seen enough complaints to look into a pattern itself. An open one means it thinks something may be wrong and nothing has been fixed yet.
ABS BRAKING MALFUNCTION
A complaint is one owner's allegation. A recall is the point at which the manufacturer or a regulator agreed the defect is real and dangerous enough to fix for free — however old the car is.
SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC:ANTILOCK/TRACTION CONTROL/ELECTRONIC LIMITED SLIP
THE ABS HYDRAULIC CONTROL UNIT CAN EXPERIENCE EXCESSIVE BRAKE ACTUATOR PISTON SEAL WEAR CAUSING PUMP-MOTOR DETERIORATION.
Risk: IF THIS CONDITION OCCURS, THE ABS FUNCTION COULD BE LOST AND REDUCED POWER ASSIST WOULD BE EXPERIENCED DURING VEHICLE BRAKING INCREASING THE POTENTIAL FOR A VEHICLE ACCIDENT.
SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC:FOUNDATION COMPONENTS:HOSES, LINES/PIPING, AND FITTINGS
THE ANTI-LOCK BRAKE SYSTEM HIGH PRESSURE HOSE MAY LEAK OR DETACH AT ITS CRIMPED END FITTING RESULTING IN THE DISCHARGE OF HYDRAULIC FLUID.
Risk: FLUID DISCHARGE EVENTUALLY CAUSES THE LOSS OF BOTH THEANTI-LOCK BRAKE SYSTEM AND HYDRAULIC ASSIST FOR THE BRAKE SYSTEM, RESULTING ININCREASED LIKELIHOOD OF BRAKE LOCKUP AND INCREASED STOPPING DISTANCES, WHICHCOULD RESULT IN A VEHICLE ACCIDENT.
VISIBILITY:DEFROSTER/DEFOGGER/HVAC SYSTEM:FAN/MOTOR
WATER LEAKING UNDER WINDSHIELD COWL IN AREA ABOVE HEATER BLOWER MOTOR RESISTOR BLOCK RESULTS IN CORROSION OF THE RESISTOR TERMINALS.
Risk: CORROSION OF THE RESISTOR TERMINALS INCREASES ELECTRICALRESISTANCE, LEADING TO OVERHEATING AND POSSBLE IGNITION OF THE WIRING CONNECTORSAND INSULATION, CAUSING A FIRE IN THE COWL AREA.
SEAT BELTS:FRONT:ANCHORAGE
FRONT OUTBOARD SAFETY BELT MAY BECOME DIFFICULT TO LATCH AND OR UNLATCH DUE TO A WEBBING STIFFENER ENTERING THE BUCKLE HOUSING AND DISLODGING THE BUCKLE LATCH GUIDE.
Risk: LATCH MAY OPEN DURING ACCIDENT OR SUDDEN STOP, EXPOSINGSEAT OCCUPANT TO INCREASED RISK OF INJURY.
SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC:FOUNDATION COMPONENTS:DISC:CALIPER
FRONT DISC BRAKE CALIPER GUIDE PIN BOLTS MAY NOT HAVE BEEN ADEQUATELY TORQUED AND COULD LOOSEN.
Risk: THIS COULD CAUSE REDUCED BRAKING EFFECTIVENESS AND COULDRESULT IN AN ACCIDENT.

FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE:FUEL INJECTION SYSTEM:FUEL RAIL
1991 DODGE DYNASTY, 3.3L ENGINE. FUEL RAIL LEAKING, AT CROSSOVER TUBE CONNECTION. FUEL LEAKING DOWN ONTO VAVLE COVER, WHICH THEN LEAKED ONTO HOT EXHAUST MANIFOLD. MINOR FIRE, BUT THANK GOD I WAS IN MY DRIVEWAY WHEN I SMELLED THE FUEL. OPENING THE HOOD REVEALED THE SMALL FIRE THAT STARTED. THE DODGE DEALER WANTS 300.00 FOR THE PART, AND I FEEL CHRYSLER SHOULD PAY FOR THIS PART SINCE IT IS NOT A "WEAR" ITEM, NOR IS IT A MOVING PART, OR IN A LOCATION PRONE TO WEAR. HAD MY WIFE OR MYSELF BEEN DRIVING AND THE FIRE OCCURED, THIS COULD HAVE BEEN A VERY DANGEROUS SITUATION, AND I WOULD HAVE CONSIDERED A LAW SUIT. ANY HELP YOU CAN PROVIDE ME WOULD BE GREAT. IF YOU CAN PROVIDE A COMPLAINT NUMBER TO CALL FOR CHRYSLER, I WILL DO SO. I FEEL THEY SHOULD AT LEAST PAY FOR THE PART. VEHICLE IS CURRENTLY PARKED, AS I CANNOT LOCATE A USED REPLACEMENT. THIS IS CREATING A MAJOR HEADACHE, AS WE NEED 2 VEHICLES, AND CANNOT AFFORD TO REPLACE THE DYNASTY AT THIS TIME, NOR CAN WE AFFORD (OR JUSTIFY) 300+ FOR THE REPAIR. THANK YOU.

In the owners' own words, exactly as filed with NHTSA.
FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE
I SMELLED A STRONG ORDER OF GAS WHEN DRIVING, WHEN I CHECKED UNDER THE HOOD THERE WAS A CONSTANT DRIPPING FRO THE FUEL RAIL SUPPLYING THE FUEL INJECTORS...FIRST , IT WAS A SMALL DRIPPING ON THE FRONT VALVE COVER AND AFTER 2-3 MONTHS ITS A STRONG CONTINUOUS DRIPPING FILLING UP THE VALVE COVER SPILLING INTO THE MANIFOLD AREA. I HAVE RESTRICTED DRIVING MY CAR TO 5-7 MILES AT A TIME TO PREVENT POSSIBLE FIRES. MY MECHANIC CALLED THE DEALERSHIP TO SEE HOW MUCH THEY COST AND THIS U-SHAPED ALUMINUM TUBING ABOUT 14" LONG ,8" CONNECTING TUBE WHERE IT IS LEAKING FROM TO ANOTHER PIECE OF ALUMINUM 14" TUBING THAT GOES UNDERNEATH THE MANIFOLD IS $300.00 AND $150 TO INSTALL IT. I THINK IT IS A FACTORY DEFECT THAT THE MANUFACTURING DEALER IS GOUGING ALMOST PUNISHING THEM FOR NEEDING THE PART BY CHARGING 3XS WHAT THE PIPING/TUBING REALLY SHOULD COST. MY MECHANIC AND I HAVE BEEN ALL OVER THE WEB LOOKING FOR THE SAME PART BUT ALL OF THEM SAY ITS A DISCONTINUED PARTS AND CAN ONLY BE BOUGHT BY THE DEALERSHIP. WHAT A RIP OFF THEY KNOW ITS A FACTORY DEFECT AND IN HIGH DEMAND BUT THEY ARE NOT MAKING ANYMORE THAN THAT WANT TO MAKE TO KEEP THE DEMAND HIGH AND TO MAKE A BIG PROFIT ON A DESIGN MISTAKE IN THEIR FUEL SYSTEM DESIGN THAT THEY SOLD TO THE PUBLIC. THEY PROBABLY KNEW IT WAS A DEFECTIVE DESIGN BUT PUSHED IT THROUGH ANYWAY.

ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING:ENGINE:GASOLINE:BELTS AND ASSOCIATED PULLEYS
PURCHASED SAID VEHICLE IN SEPT. 2006 USED. WAS JUST DRIVING AT POSTED SPEED LIMITS IN A COMMUNITY AREA OF PHOENIX, WHEN ALL OF A SUDDEN A LOUD CLACKING NOISE STARTED AS I PULLED UP TO MY DESIGNATION, SO I TURNED OFF THE MOTOR, LIFTED THE HOOD AND IMMEDIATELY NOTICED THAT THE TENSION PULLEY HAD NEARLY COMPLETELY CAME OFF THE MOTOR. IT DID CAUSE THE SERPINTINE BELT TO COME OFF OF ALL THE PULLIES OF THE MOTOR. I HAD TO HAVE THE VEHICLE TOWED HOME, AGAIN FOR THE SECOND TIME SINCE SEPT. 2006. HEN THE VEHICLE WAS AT MY HOME I FINISHED REMOVING THE PULLEY THAT WAS LOOSE, CAUSING IT TO BENT ENOUGH TO THROW IT TOTALLY OFF OF ITS TENSION PURPOSE. UPON REMOVAL A BOLT WAS ALSO BROKEN WHICH MAY HAVE CAUSED THE TOTAL PROBLEM BECAUSE IT WAS NOT TIGHTENED TO TORQUE SPECS. HAD TO REPLACE BOTH PARTS ATTACHED TO THIS PULLEY.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM:IGNITION:MODULE
FOR THE THIRD TIME WITHIN A 3 YEAR PERIOD MY CAR WILL START AND RUN FOR ABOUT 2 SECONDS AND TURN OFF, I HAD IT TOWED AND THE MECHANICS WOULD REPLACED THE MAIN COMPUTER, OR SAY THEY DID, AND CHARGE ME A GREAT DEAL OF MONEY. I SEARCHED RECENTLY ON THE INTERNET TO SEE IF OTHERS HAVE HAD THE SAME PROBLEM, AND I FOUND THAT IT IS A DEFECTIVE PART PROBLEM FOUND AT THIS SITE---HTTP://AUTOREPAIR.ABOUT.COM/LIBRARY/A/1F/BL111F.HTM I SHOULD NOT HAVE TO PAY FOR A DEFECTIVE PART WHICH IS TIED IN TO AN ANTI THEFT FEATURE.

FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE:FUEL INJECTION SYSTEM:FUEL RAIL
PURCHASED VEHICLE USED OCT. 2006. NEAR MINT CONDITION. POWER EVERYTHING & EVERYTHING FUNCTIONS PERFECT. VEHICLE EMISSIONS PERFECT. APPROX. 4 DAYS AFTER FINAL REGISTRATION WAS SWITCHED, PLATED, & INSURED, I HOPPED ONTO THE FREEWAY, DOING ABOUT 65 MPH. WHEN SUDDENLY IN A MATTER OF SECONDS, I WAS TOTALLY OVERWHELMED BY THE SMELL OF GAS. I BECAME SERIOUSLY NAUSEOUS AND LIGHT HEADED AND HAD TO IMMEDIATELY EXIT THE FREEWAY TO FIND SOMEWHERE TO PULL OVER AS FAST AS I POSSIBLE COULD WITHOUT CAUSING AN ACCIDENT OR MORE SERIOUS A FATALITY. ONCE, I MANAGED TO PULL OVER I PULLED THE HOOD LATCH, JUMPED OUT TO GET A BREATH OF FRESH AIR, I POPPED THE HOOD TO TRY TO SEE WHERE THIS GAS WAS COMING FROM. ALL I COULD SEE WAS GAS SPAYING OUT ALL OVER THE PLACE, IN MASSIVE AMOUNTS JUST LIKE A HIGH PRESSURE HOSE AT A CAR WASH. 1\4 TANK LEAKED OUT ALL OVER THE TOP OF THE ENGINE & ALL OVER THE INTAKE MANIFOLD OF MY CAR. I THANKED GOD, THAT THE ENGINE WAS NOT HOT ENOUGH TO IGNITE THE WHOLE CAR, WITH ME INSIDE. AFTER GETTING THE VEHICLE TOWED HOME, WE FOUND OUT IT WAS THE FUEL RAIL FEEDER THAT DISTRIBUTES GAS TO THE FUEL INJECTORS. THE AFTER RESEARCHING OTHER DODGE VEHICLES I FOUND OUT THERE WAS AN UNDOCUMENTED RECALL FOR THIS PART, THIS CAR YEAR, MAKE AND MODEL WHEN IT FIRST CAME OUT, AND THAT CHRYSLER/DODGE CONTINUED TO INSTALL THIS SAME PART ON OTHER YEARS, MAKES & MODELS & DAIMLER CHRYSLER/ DODGE WAS, VERY WELL AWARE OF THIS. LAST YEAR THEY GROSSED $16.63 MILLION DOLLARS IN 2005 WITH $1.5 MILLION IN LOSSES & THEY CAN'T AFFORD TO REPAIR THIS FOR $700.00 JUST MAKES MY STOMACH TURN. NOW KNOWING THAT I COULD HAVE BEEN KILLED OR COULD HAVE POSSIBLY CAUSED A SERIOUS OR EVEN FATAL INJURY TO SOMEONE ELSE, BECAUSE OF DAIMLER CHRYSLER'S NEGLECT IN ADMITTING THIS IS A DEFECTIVE MANUFACTURED PART, AND THEM TAKING FULL RESPONSIBILITY FOR THIS IS OUTRAGEOUSLY UNBELIEVABLE TO SAY THE LEAST.
