What owners wrote
We ended up headed towards the sky and took a hard head nose into the earth. We then came up turned in the other directions rocking and rolling in a dry shallow creek bed in nevada. We went up again and landed with two flat tires, in gear, going no where. My air bag did not deploy! My hubby had a huge laceration on the inside of his forearm. Found out later in emergency that the dodge emblem propelled into his arm. The emblem is very concerning.
Steering locked up on me as I was driving and I was unable to turn. I had to pull the car over and then shut it off and then restart it in order to get the steering wheel to work again
