“Today my car stopped (again) in the middle of the road as I was driving and the emergency brake light went on. This is the third time that this has happened to me and I am literally scared out of mind to drive this car that I purchased for my birthday. I've only had the car for 6 months and this is a major safety hazard.”
NHTSA complaint #11396951, filed 2021-02, 31,000 miles“Making a turn around and the car went over the curb barely at 20 MPH or slower and then the car became in drivable. I have been told the rack and pinion is broken and that Jeep has a 700+ people waiting list for the part because there is a bug in the part and they refused to release it to the people so now I don't have a car to drive all because I ran over a curb going less than 20 MPH.”
NHTSA complaint #11376464, filed 2020-11, 37,000 miles“From purchase date the brakes felt bad. I have taken my car to 2 dealerships and 3 times total to complain about the grinding and brake grabbing and told nothing is wrong or no recalls, so they didn't want to address this ongoing issue.”
NHTSA complaint #11387806, filed 2021-01, 200 miles“I complained about engine tapping soon after buying the brand new car in august 2019 nothing was done. 5/9/20 I attempted to drive the car and as I got ready to pull into a busy street the truck cut off and the parking break engaged. It took me 5 mins to get it restarted and attempted to back up and it cut off again. My breaks have been feeling as though they are grinding. My clock has changed time on the truck from regular time to military time. When moving my car into drive my car jerks violently.”
NHTSA complaint #11324019, filed 2020-05, 10,000 miles“I bought my Jeep march 2019 and have never had an issue. Then a few months later the radio starts pressing buttons by itself. I took it to the local dodge and they said there was nothing wrong with it. The next thing to go wrong is the auto start stops working. I got stuck at several red lights and almost rear ended a few times. I took it back to dodge and they still said there was nothing wrong with it and it didnt throw any codes at advanced auto. Then lastly, it finally goes out. The vehicle completely shuts off on my in the middle of driving in the middle of the road. It just stops. …”
