Example complaints

Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.

“My vehicle would no longer accelerate in traffic causing me to almost get hit in the rear of the vehicle. I could do nothing but coast and brake. All gears became highlighted which were not previously. I am worried if this continues to happen I will be in an accident. This seems to be a common encounter among Jeep owners but there is no recall.”

NHTSA complaint #10956759, filed 2017-02, 145,000 miles

“I have had several problems with the 2007 Jeep commander. At times it will not start. Recently it has lost power/speed when accelerating. I was merging onto the highway and it suddenly lost power and would not go above 20mph. The engine had a strange noise to it. I have had it fixed multiple times but nothing seems to stop the problems. It is the worst car I have ever owned.”

“While accelerating speed as I entered the toll road for my morning commute, the engine stalled. Pulled over, put in park, turned off ignition, restarted. Vehicle operated but check engine light remained on. Less than one mile later, lost speed again, had to pull over to the shoulder of the road, place in park, turn off ignition, and restart. Check engine light remained on. Check engine light turned off in the afternoon.”

“I was driving on the highway with my son going around 65 miles per hour. When all of a sudden my truck Jeep comm, started slowing down, and all the other cars were passing by me speeding and blowing at my. I pulled over and restarted the car and now the engine light came on and the truck wont go pass 40 miles an hour. I have a warranty but the dealer is always trying to get out of paying it.”

NHTSA complaint #10473131, filed 2012-08, 45,644 miles

“While idling in a driveway, the check engine and esp/bas lights came on. The vehicle did not stall. Shortly afterward, when driving about 55-60 MPH, I realized the cruise control no longer works. I tried multiple times to turn it on, but it does not come on any longer. The esp/bas light went off about 10 miles later, after I stopped to fuel up the vehicle. The check engine light remained on. About an hour later and another 35 miles later, after making a stop, the check engine light did not come back on when restarting the vehicle. …”
