Example complaints

“On 17 february, with my foot on the brake, I placed my car into reverse to back into an available parking spot and the engine revved up on its own and shot the car backward at top speed hitting and toppling a san diego light post and stopping when it hit a tree. No one was injured thank goodness. I found on line that this had happened at least 31 times with a similar Jeep Liberty.”
NHTSA complaint #11402870, filed 2021-03, 109,000 miles“Skyslider roof, stopped working many times between 2008 and 2018. This makes for a situation where the roof can open when driving. This has happened when moving and when stationary. I have never tried to open the roof when the car is moving. I have been waiting for motorworld in wilkes barre pa to fix the issue for over a year with no success.”
NHTSA complaint #11234481, filed 2019-07, 100 miles“Skyslider - the sky slider rear drive assembly is broken. I am not the only one with this problem, I know many others that are having to deal with this. Even going over 20 MPH it starts flapping in the wind. Also it lets water in, mostly when it rains. Come on fix this. I have to tarp my car every day just so the water doesn't get in and get mold.”
NHTSA complaint #11130297, filed 2018-09, 100,000 miles“I was driving on the highway with the sky slider open and the wind snapped the roof off of the tracks causing it to fly back. I put a wind damage claim into usaa and was denied as they feel it is a manufacturer defect and the roof was poorly made unable to withstand normal driving speeds. After a nationwide search they were unable to find replacement parts and the vehicle is roofless and not able to be driven.”
NHTSA complaint #11210555, filed 2019-05, 100,000 miles“My heat shield came loose and detached at 110000 miles while driving. It was obviously resting on moving parts under my vehicle. It made a klattering rattle as the vehicle slowed to a stop where I could check out the problem. The heat shield readily came out when the rear passenger tire was removed to provide access to the part on the side of the road.”
