The NHTSA is the US gov't agency tasked with vehicle safety. Complaints can be spread across multiple & redundant categories, & are not organized by problem. See the Back button — blue bar at the very top of the page — to explore more.
Front end suspension, wheel bearing & steering - grinding noise when going over small holes or hills such as speed bumps & pot holes. Almost never when driving directly forward, but often when turning. Dealer made 4 (four) repair attempts and still has not gotten it right. Not 2 months after last repair, which took six weeks to get all the parts together (during which the lemon law coverage for my car expired - go wonder about that..) the noises have returned again. Other issues, I have seen 6 total issues mentioned in this site that I can identify with. As for those sudden accelerations some have mentioned, yes I agree the pedals are too close which makes it easy to mash both brake & gas pedals.

When driving at low speeds, vehicle accelerator will stick. This almost caused an accident. There is a recall for this problem, but in the early year vehicle 1996/1997. Recall number 02 V 186 000. The dealership refused to address the problem.

Traveling on I 95 South in the city of jacksonville fl - gas pedal stuck while at a speed of 65 and began increasing, it was necessary to use brake with all the force that was possible to control the car - it was at least 2 miles until we could exit the freeway - this was downtown and in an area of construction over a new bridge - there was not the opportunity to leave the road, place the car in neutral or do anything but ride the brakes until we could exit, West side Dodge in jacksonville examined the car the morning of 9/17 and found a plastic cap that was used to cover a sensor had not been discarded and had found its' way to the linkage. We are asking the dealer here in South Carolina to replace the roters and pads - is there anything else that I should be concerned with? thank you for your time and concern.
