Example complaints
Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.
“The Jeep Cherokee trailhawk is equipped with halogen headlights mounted low on the front of the Cherokee. These headlights do a terrible job of lighting the road in front of the vehicle. They are both dim and do not shine the light far enough ahead of the vehicle. I live in a rural area and am very concerned about driving at night with this vehicle since there are always animals crossing the road. The high beams shine about as far as the low beams on my other car. I feel like I am driving a car with headlights from the 1960s.”
NHTSA complaint #10731745, filed 2015-07, 210 miles“The heating element in the windshield shorted causing extreme heat and the element was glowing. This caused the windshield to break. Pieces of shattered glass were inside the car on the center console as well as on the dash. Both panes of glass were cracked, but only the inside seemed to explode causing a chuck of glass to shoot loose. This was confirmed by a safelite employee with 29 years experience.”
NHTSA complaint #10672141, filed 2015-01, 660 miles“Uconnect system and the screen placement is a distraction that causes the driver to lose site of the road and traffic. A relocation and reduced screen size could help alleviate the problem. Once there were laws prohibiting such devises to be visible to the driver while driving???”
NHTSA complaint #10816275, filed 2015-12, 2,500 miles“Side view mirrors' placement blocks visibility particularly while maneuvering in parking lots created several close calls. Mirror should be mounted higher to eliminate vision blockage while improving visibility.”
NHTSA complaint #10816273, filed 2015-12, 3,200 miles“Car will turn off. Turn the key and pull it out, car stays running. When this happens, car is in a possessed state where brake lights stay on at all times, turn signals do not work, wipers do not work, horn does not work. Took it to dealership and was told there are no codes, so nothing they can do. Pull the battery cable off to shut the car down. This will happen mid drive so all of a sudden you'll lose your turn signals, wipers, horn, brake lights, door locks, and main light control. When you pull over, only way to turn the car off is to pull the battery cable.”
