“It sounds like the framing under my hood is bouncing. Anytime I'm driving on the road, I hear knocking every time I hit the slightest bump. Sounds as if something is loose and not secured. Definitely scary since it's a 2019 Jeep Compass, basically a brand new vehicle.”
NHTSA complaint #11327426, filed 2020-06“I parked my car in my drive lastnight just like every night; and I walked out this morning and the back end of my car was in the street! It rolled back more than half of my driveway! Please understand that yes it snowed here in nj however there was rock salt (a significant amount on my driveway - township grade) there was a very light amount of snow nothing crazy that would've caused this. My driveway is not a hill or harsh slopping at all. I'm concerned for not only my safety and of course for my car, but what if that rolled further?... What if it hit someone walking their dog.. …”
