Example complaints

“We leased a new 2019 Jeep Grand Cherokee ltd on february 1, 2019. Around the beginning of april we noticed that the brake pedal had to be depressed further than when it was new to stop the vehicle. Each week it was getting worse to the point where now it goes all the way to the floor and does not stop with confidence. We have stopped driving it before it fails completely. Waiting for service appointment with the dealer.”
NHTSA complaint #11204533, filed 2019-04, 600 miles“The vehicle was purchased new in may 2019 currently has 2700 miles on the odometer. I was traveling along the highway and began hearing a loud noise that seemed to be emanating from my undercarriage. I drove to first off-ramp to inspect and discovered a part of the braking system had broken. The vehicle was no longer drivable and had to be towed to a dealership. Later, the service writer informed me that a caliper had broken and that damages would be covered under warranty. I was not provided with a cause for this failure.”
NHTSA complaint #11267108, filed 2019-10, 2,700 miles“After going through an auto car wash the brakes failed and the car rolled into a pole while pulling up to a vacuum station about 50 yards from the exit. I believe the ABS system notified the car that it was in a slide because the rear wheels continue to rotate while the front wheels are not rotating while being pulled through the car wash tracks. Therefore tricking the system into thinking it should not brake when brakes were applied.”
NHTSA complaint #11301557, filed 2020-01, 7,500 miles“Our 2019 Jeep has been experiencing symptoms since 2022, and Jeep has no resolution for it yet. I fear for the safety of my family riding in the vehicle, cannot use all the installed features (cannot remote start with check engine light on) and cannot sell it in its current condition due to this recall. Is there any solution in sight?”
NHTSA complaint #11678178, filed 2025-08“Active safety recall 94b stellantis issued 11/07 4+ months with no remedy!!!! I fear for my life and passangers every time I need to drive my vehicle. Stellantis should provide loaner vehicles to the consumer at no cost given their inability to find a remedy in a timely manner.”
