Example complaints

Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.

“Over the past year my Jeep has been very sluggish, accelerates at higher RPM's than normal, shifts rough ( even though it is a CVT and doesn't have gears). For example, when I slow down to make a turn and then proceed to accelerate after the turn, my Jeep hesitates to accelerate, the RPM's plummet and then reach to over 3000 RPM's before it slams/jerks into gear to return to around 2000 RPM's. Twice my Jeep has shuttered and stalled while at red lights. …”
