Example complaints
Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.
“In august 2018, I was informed by a reputable auto repair shop that another auto repair shop that did work on my vehicle less than a month prior, turned off the check engine light. I went back to that mechanic and they advised that it is impossible to do so, because its all in one panel. On 11/11/18, all exterior lights on the vehicle stopped working. I went to auto zone to get replacement bulbs, but they advised that this was an electrical problem and I should go to a mechanic. I have already spent a few thousand dollars on a 2008 Jeep compass including suspension work and other maintenance. …”
