Example complaints

Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.

“My husband was in an accident on a sunny morning with no precipitation or ice involved while driving in a 2011 Jeep Grand Cherokee. He was not speeding or found responsible for this accident. A chrysler authorized body shop and the insurance company totaled the car based on the steering column, electrical system, the airbags, as well as the seat belts - which we found strange since we drove the car from the accident. …”

“7/27/15 I was at a complete stop before I was going to turn into the parking space. I waited until a van passed and again, was at a complete stop. I gently pressed the gas pedal when within seconds the car took off on its own. Within seconds my car revved on its own and took off; slamming me into a concrete wall barrier that saved me from driving into a dry cleaning store window.during this entire time, my foot barely pressed the accelerator and my car took off. Thankfully a man came to me and told me to just put the car in park as I was hitting the break and my wheels were still spinning. …”

“Under heavy braking at any speed the seat belts do not lock to prevent personal forward motion. I fear this will cause serious physical damage to myself, the driver, and passengers in the vehicle.”

NHTSA complaint #11243838, filed 2019-08, 110,000 miles

“Passenger seat belt in rear seat on right side will not latch. Seat belt will not retract and we cannot place and/or secure a carseat in this area of the vehicle. Vehicle has not been in any accidents and has been well maintained. Vehicle has low mileage and dealer refuses to replace seatbelt under warranty. Prices quoted to replace seat belt has been between $300.00-$350.00 for parts only and labor will be an additional charge! This is a safety issue and should be replaced with no charges!”
