Example complaints

“The car make an awful sound when driving . Once the speed is over 30 miles per hour the windshield cowl make a very loud noise it has been doing it for a long time I just couldn't figure out what it was until I took it to a dealer and they said that it was common problem with these vehicles. It has just been getting worst over the years.”
NHTSA complaint #11299482, filed 2020-01, 500 miles“While parked the rear hatch has recently started to go up almost all the way and then come back down, sometimes very fast other times slowly. It hit me in the back the first time. I called the dealer to inquire about recall r27 / NHTSA 15v-393, they said it was not listed for my VIN, the vehicle was built in 3/14 and displays all of the issues listed in that recall.”
NHTSA complaint #11375060, filed 2020-11, 96,850 miles“This morning, while traveling south bound on us 931 in kokomo, in my sunroof in my 2014 Jeep Grand Cherokee exploded. The glass shattered after making what sounded like a hand gun going off next to me. During my drive, all windows were up and the AC was on. There were no cracks in the glass before the explosion.”
NHTSA complaint #10875086, filed 2016-06, 31,600 miles“While driving at 80 MPH, a very large buck ran in front of the car on the interstate. After driving back by to see the deer the next day it was probably around 300 lbs. The entire front portion of my vehicle was caved in. No airbags deployed whatsoever. Hitting something so massive at such a high rate of speed should have deployed some sort of safety mechanism I.e (airbags!!!!!)”
NHTSA complaint #10759459, filed 2015-08, 15,000 miles“Takata, on april 15, 2016 I had a head on collision with a 2004 ford pick up truck on state highway 28 in seneca sc the Jeep was totally destroyed and I suffered multiple serious bodily injuries. The airbags did not deploy. If the airbags had deployed it would not have concluded in broken ribs, broken hand, multiple cuts and bruises and the loss of 90 % of my site. Even the state trooper said he had never witnessed such a travesty.”
