Example complaints
Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.
“I pulled into my driveway and put the vehicle in park and as I got out it began rolling backwards. I tried to get turned around and back in or grab the emergency brake but the door knocked me down and the Jeep drove backwards about 150feet and hit a tree. 3weeks for repairs and I heard about the cherokee recall for transmission issues and this seems like what happened to me.”
NHTSA complaint #11330083, filed 2020-06, 43,583 miles“The vehicle becomes very unstable (eg, it wobbles ) when I step lightly on the break at speeds of 60 MPH and above. Also, this vehicle has a high risk of rolling over ( I lightly moved the steering wheel to avoid collision with a reckless driver that almost hits my car sideways on the highway, and the car lost control nearly rolling over. The vehicle was in motioned on florida's turnpike.”
NHTSA complaint #11171590, filed 2019-01, 5,500 miles“While driving on a dirt road the passenger headrest deployed and hit my wife's head. She still have a stiff neck since. It looks like a latch is broken in the headrest as we are not able to put it back into place. It is very uncomfortable and dangerous to sit on the passenger seat now.”
NHTSA complaint #11365759, filed 2020-10, 54,806 miles“Not a safety issue, but a extremely frustrating and widespread issue. Fm radio signal issues. Fm radio cuts in and out. I found a forum with dozens of other owners who had the same issue. Radio works fine for xm/sirius and am. Seeking through fm stations, the radio doesn't find any signals strong enough to stop on. I'm in an area with strong fm stations and have never had issues on other radios in any of my vehicles.”
NHTSA complaint #11316284, filed 2020-03, 3,500 miles“A screen appeared asking if I want to adjust the clock and it beeps constantly and won't go away. I took it to the dealership and they told me my radio is defect and this is a common problem on the year and model”
