Example complaints
Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.
“I was hit on my passenger front, while attempting to cross into a parking lot, so hard until my tire rod bent at a 90* angle. My passenger airbag didn't deploy. None of my airbags deployed. There was no blind spot warning. Even after the impact, there was no alarm or notification of the damage, as the firemen were attempting to drive my car out of the road.”
NHTSA complaint #11377617, filed 2020-12, 76,000 miles“Sky slider roof broken, will not open nor close. I have to put a tarp over my Jeep to keep the rain out. Cannot be repaired due to no parts available. The possibility for this roof to fly off while driving at high speeds is real. Chrysler/Jeep needs to remedy this problem.”
NHTSA complaint #11329558, filed 2020-06, 41,000 miles“The window regulator has gone out in 3 of 4 of my automatic windows, all within a years span. Two went out at the same time. I had one of the regulators fixed, but for a hefty fee. When one regulator went out my vehicle was in motion on a city street and the rear window went down and would not roll back up.”
NHTSA complaint #10992354, filed 2017-05, 29,000 miles“2nd occurrence., lift gate light came on the instrument panel app 4 days ago, made sure door was closed. Light remain on. Then today, horn sounded while car was parked in my secured garage. I have contacted the dealership. They require a fee to put on dianostic machine.
