“Since I bought our 2019 Jeep Cherokee new, the hood has had a bad flutter. It flutters bad enough that it sets off the auto stop/start light. Have had it into the dealer at least 6 times and no resolution. It flutters so bad that it seems the hood is actually going to fly open. It really gets bad when you pass another vehichle.”
NHTSA complaint #11403979, filed 2021-03, 30,000 miles“While driving, my rear hatch warning came on, I pulled over to realize that the latch would not lock, causing my lights to stay on, causing a cold environment for my 9 months old baby, with the door not being able to seal. With this broken, also disables my remote start, voiding any anti theft abilities.”
NHTSA complaint #11378025, filed 2020-12, 5 miles“I was sitting in traffic on the 105 freeway, at approximately 2-3 miles per hour, and my car suddenly lunged forward hitting the other car in front of me, my foot was on the brake the entire time. Time of occurrence was jan 28, 2019 approximately 2:30pm.”
NHTSA complaint #11172709, filed 2019-01, 14,000 miles“I bought a brand new 2019 Jeep Cherokee trail hawk from an amarillo texas dealership. I noticed when I bought the vehicle the hood was shaking and the wind was picking it up like it was loose. I took it in 3 times to have it fixed. The first time they said the factory misaligned the hood at the factory and they realigned it. It still was shaking and coming up. Took it back 2nd time they adjusted it again, took it home same problem, not fixed. Took it back a third time they looked at it said they did all they could do to fix it. …”
NHTSA complaint #11327766, filed 2020-06, 23 miles“The tail lights become clouded due to condensation that appears after the running lights have warmed up the inside of the tail light housing. This occurs in all weather conditions. Condensation does dissipate or fade away when lights and the car have been turned off and stationary for some time.”
