Example complaints

“The forward collisin control was turned on. It started beeping when no one was near me at all from any side of vehicle. Then the brakes slammed like it was preventing a rear end collisin by my vehicle. My car slid to a stop at approximately 40 miles an hour. It scared the crap out of me and I have had that safety sensor option turned to off ever since this incident.”
NHTSA complaint #11365637, filed 2020-10, 120,000 miles“As approaching an intersection I began to coast and place my foot on the brake. At the time I started to brake, the vehicle surged forward for 1 second. As I came closer to a stop, the vehicle surged again at which point I had to stand on the brake pedal to prevent me and my family from rear-ending a vehicle and going into a busy intersection.”
NHTSA complaint #11182891, filed 2019-02, 62,000 miles“I have been getting an error on my vehicle that says service four wheel drive system and an error that says service antilock brake system . I've done some research online and see other people are having this problem with a dragging of the motor into the next gear and a hesitant jerk sometimes. I found out that the right speed sensor needed to be replaced. Is Jeep doing anything to reimburse customers that had to pay out of pocket.”
NHTSA complaint #11352607, filed 2020-09, 120,300 miles“The vehicle abruptly braked when there was clearly no threat. This almost caused a rear end accident from the vehicle traveling behind me.and it truly upset that driver. Not a great situation. This has occurred three or four times. I asked the dealer to check with chrysler and they tell me they can not find anything wrong with the vehicle.”
NHTSA complaint #10663320, filed 2014-12, 5,200 miles“On 9/23/20 my 2014 grand Jeep cherokee accelerated on its own causing me to crash into a fountain wall. I was parking and almost at a complete stop when my car went haywire. It felt as if I got hit from behind, my dash lit up, my engine revved real loud and my car lunged forward. There was enough force to lift my front end and place it on the 2nd tier of the fountain wall. I was in a tight parking area at the hialeah gardens building department. Please google earth the parking lot to understand the parking lot and how compact it is. …”
