Example complaints
Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.
“As I am driving my car stahl's and everything shuts off. This typically happens as I am making a turn. This typically happens as I get closer to the date of my next oil change. The car shuts off completely and I must coast to a stop. After waiting about a minute I can restart the engine. This is a very dangerous situation as I am typically turning to cross traffic.”
NHTSA complaint #11252673, filed 2019-09, 25,000 miles“On 9-14 my left headlamp burned out, and on 12-2 2016 my rt headlamp burned out. These were hid hd/lps. Each cost me $215 to replace. I asked chrysler about this but got no response. I find it hard to believe two lamps would burn out with the car having approx. 30,000 miles on it. I believe this to be a defect in philips hid elements.”
NHTSA complaint #10933788, filed 2016-12, 300,000 miles“I bought my 2015 Jeep Cherokee about a year ago and less than a month later I was already noticing that the headlights would dim as soon as I would use my turn signal. This continued for about a month until I noticed that the headlights were noticeably dim on both sides. I needed to get out of my car several times to make sure the headlights were even on. Whenever I am driving in a low light area at night it is incredibly dangerous. Something needs to be done about this because this is clearly a defect.”
NHTSA complaint #11400073, filed 2021-03, 89,000 miles“Without warning all the dash panel lights shut off. This has occurred twice. Both incidents happened while driving straight on highways at dusk. ( 5:30 pm, march 7, 2018 on illinois I-72 and 8:15 pm, may 31, 2018 on missouri highway 6.) the dash lights came back on after 15 - 20 minutes and/or a restart of the auto. It was terrifying to experience a sudden loss of dash lights at dusk and travelling at road speed. Cause is unknown to me. I plan to contact my Jeep dealership.”
NHTSA complaint #11099241, filed 2018-06, 26,920 miles“Driving home the only lights I had was the top LED lights, speedometer lights and radio light. No ther lights worked. The vehicle was in motion. If the lights did work when I turned my turn signal on the light went off.”
