“First my air bag light came on and said service air bag system. Next the seat belt light is on and dings when someone is in the passenger seat even the the seat belt buckled. Now my TPMS light is on without any issues with the air in the tires. This is an ongoing issue they cant resolve.”
NHTSA complaint #11221838, filed 2019-06, 42,000 miles“My husband and I were involved in a 4 car pile up on the 3 lane highway. Traffic abruptly stopped several cars in front of us on the highway and cars were swerving to miss the traffic stopped. The 2 cars in front of us and our car were all able to get stopped without hitting each other. We were stationary (stopped) when we heard squealing tires and were rear ended by a f250 hauling a trailer full of firewood at a high rate of speed. This truck then pushed us forward into the vehicle in front of us. Which then pushed that car into the vehicle in front of it. …”
NHTSA complaint #11218276, filed 2019-06, 28,000 miles“While picking up my oldest child from school, my three year old toddler reached the shoulder safety belt located in the center seat (next to her car seat on the driver side) and it got wrapped around her neck and nearly strangled her. My child yelled for help. I got out of the drivers seat and ran to her aid and immediately put my fingers between her neck and the belt. I screamed for help. Several adults came to aid and the seatbelt would not let up. Every movement and attempt made to get it to release made the belt tighten even more around my child's neck. …”
NHTSA complaint #11271125, filed 2019-10, 83,000 miles“Indicator lights are shown on dash include gas cap, seat belt and engine. All gear lights display red when driving and states to service shifter. Dash displays service engine soon. Service air bag system. Seat belt will constantly ding even though it is buckled and will not stop dinging. Replaced gas cap, but indicator light continues to display on dash. Strongly believe there are electrical issues causing theses defects. …”
NHTSA complaint #11549457, filed 2023-10“Initially started with parking brake coming on and it took 15 mins of pushing and pulling the button/switch and turning car on and off. Then service air bags light came on. Next was saying passenger and driver seat belts not buckled even tho both were buckled. Then abs light came on. Mechanic determined it was OCR sensor located under center console. Apparently can only get part from jeep and its $400. Ordered and the Jeep wont recognize it so replacement had to be ordered. Now tire pressure light is on as well. Says front driver and rear passenger are low even tho all tires are at 34psi. …”
