“About 10 days ago, my Jeep Compass was involved in an incident where I had to apply my brakes all of the sudden, as a deer jumped right in front of my vehicle,out of bushes. As I was applying brakes, the ABS brakes did not engage, as my brake pedal did not tap back, and when Jeep finally stopped, driver seatbelt did not lock, as it should have, and I have hit my head on the ceiling, at the point where it meets the windshield. …”
NHTSA complaint #11120791, filed 2018-08, 103,500 miles“I purched my car in 2015, and from day one there was a squelling sound coming from the wheels. When I took it to the dealler to be looked at, I was told that the front left wheel was out of lined. I had the alinement done, by the dealer, so they said that they alined the wheels; but the squelling did not stop. A few months later I took the car back and was told that I needed brake shoses on the rear, which was replaced. I still was not happy. Now, at 32,000 miles I am told that I need new tiries and a wheels alinement. I am not a happy customer!! …”

It decides to turn on, others it doesn't. …”
