Example complaints

“The cap less fuel filler broke. I was filling with fuel at the gas station. When the tank was full I went to remove the nozzle from the cap less filler neck and the cap less portion broke away from the filler neck and stayed attached to the nozzle. Now every once and awhile you can see gas must spill out of the neck when the tank is full since there is nothing to prevent fuel from coming out.”

“There is a power surge at times and majority of times there is a lull of power at take off. Upon departure at a stop light, there is hesitation when gas is applied so you have to heavily apply gas. Other times you go to park and come to stop then the car surges before placing in park. I have reported this to my dealer since purchase several times since march 2018 with no resolve. They state no recall and nothing shows up when testing it. Vehicle still”

NHTSA complaint #11154903, filed 2018-11, 35,000 miles

“I purchased my 2015 Renegade latitude 6-speed manual transmission vehicle last fall and found that from the beginning at times I had difficulty getting it into gear. I've been driving manual transmission cars (all sedans until this) for nearly 35 + years so I'm familiar with how to shift etc. I knew and expected that there'd be a learning curve as every vehicle is different. But by now it should be resolved. Instead, it has worsened. …”
