“Every time we back up there is a loud noise that comes from the brakes. More than 5 times, my wife has asked the Jeep dealer to fix it over the last 2 years. They say the same thing every time that nothing can be done and that it is a defect with the way the brakes work on this Jeep model. We are frustrated to hear this noise with no way to fix it.”
NHTSA complaint #10967324, filed 2017-03, 16,000 miles“Since I bought this car from the dealer, all the from tires making noises when I press the break to stop, I spoke with the dealer but he don't want to help me out. Also the engine light showing up since I got the car from the dealer, the electrical system too is not working perfectly and the AC system is not too good.”
NHTSA complaint #11057709, filed 2017-12, 40 miles“I was slowly pulling into a parking space in front of local pharmacy. As I was about to put the SUV into park the vehicle suddenly accelerated with my foot on the brake and then jumped two curbstones and went across the front entrance to the store and then hit a parked toyota SUV and pushed the vehicle back four feet and then finally came to a stop.”
NHTSA complaint #10693568, filed 2015-03, 6,495 miles“Vehicle began making loud squeaking noises at 6,000 miles. I have brought it to the dealer 3 times for the issue and every time they claim it is the nature of the vehicle. There are two different squeaks: 1) when I take my foot off the pedal (seems to be from the front) and 2) when I put my car in reverse (seems to be from the back). The dealer simply insists there is nothing they can do.”
NHTSA complaint #10704303, filed 2015-04, 6,000 miles“The ABS brake lights came on as well as the skid warning light when I started the car. About 30 seconds later as I was driving straight at about 25 MPH down the street, there was a loud clicking sound and the brakes locked up and the steering wheel locked up too. Or possibly could have been the transmission that locked up. I can't be sure. But it is safe to say the entire care locked up leaving me unable to steer or maneuver the car in any manner. I waited a few minutes and the lights went off and I was able to get the car back home. …”
