“At a patients home. Jeep was parked, approximately 10 minutes went by and one of the people in the home started yelling my vehichle was rolling backwards. The driveway is flat surface. It managed to take out a fence and damage the back end of my Jeep. Luckily another person in the home was able to run amd jump in it before it hit trees going down a large hill.”
NHTSA complaint #11233536, filed 2019-07, 70,000 miles“My Jeep was parked on a level area while it was raining and when I opened my trunk I noticed water leaking into the trunk area from the ceiling flowing rather quickly. It appears to be coming from the area where the passenger rear quarter panel and the roof meet. It never leaked before and nothing has happened (no accidents etc) to compromise the Jeep. Not sure if one of the seals is starting to fail.”
NHTSA complaint #11366711, filed 2020-10, 71,730 miles“On several sections of the front good, specifically where the painted portion wraps under the front of the hood to meet the alluminum, the the paint is bubbling and in some spots, beginning to rust. I take great care of my vehicle and these paint defects appear to have been caused by either rust being present at the time the vehicle was painted at the factory, or some sort of electrical charge is causing the paint to bubble.”
NHTSA complaint #11257260, filed 2019-09, 81,500 miles“R rolled into tree,drivers door was jammed. Walked to house got keys and husband who climbed over the console and backed the car out from between two trees drove to our house.the car was originally in park standing still I was not in the car when this happened, home is located on a rural road. The damage was extensive.”
NHTSA complaint #10871391, filed 2016-05, 190,511 miles“I was stopped at a stoplight. When the light turned green and I accelerated, my vehicle went in reverse. I quickly switched the gear back to drive, but overcompensated and rear ended the car in front of me. This has happened before. The gear on my Jeep is overly sensitive and flips from drive to reverse to neutral without my notice (I.e., if my elbow hits it). This is a big safety issue, as it has resulted in accidents.”
