Example complaints

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

“While driving down the road, I came to a stop and the vehicle started flashing every light then would not restart or allow the vehicle to be put into neutral. Initially thought maybe a battery issue despite my new battery being only eight months old replaced the battery and all the electronics started going haywire requiring the vehicle to be towed.”

NHTSA complaint #11753217, filed 2026-07

“Vehicle shut-off while driving. Electrical failure due to voltage issue with hybrid (eTorque) system. Los off power while driving vehicle on roadway with potential loss of control. Vehicle taken to dealership and diagnosed with failure of hybrid battery. During my ownership of the vehicle I've had to replace the primary battery 3 times due to ongoing electrical problems with this engine.”

NHTSA complaint #11711824, filed 2026-01

“While sitting at a stop light my vehicle started malfunctioning and put itself into park. Several different warnings came across the screen and I was unable to change gears or start my car for a while. Finally my car allowed me to push the break and restart the vehicle. A warning light came on with an “A!” But then was no longer on the screen once I turned my vehicle off and back on.”

NHTSA complaint #11639033, filed 2025-01

“I was driving about 10mph around a turn and the motor turned off and I had to park to start the motor again. When I came to a complete stop the car engaged it's parking break and suddenly jerked forward. This has happened several times in the last year and this time I was the driver of the vehicle. It's a extreme safety issue and my wife has had it happen to her at a busy intersection more than one time.”

NHTSA complaint #11727356, filed 2026-03

“My 2022 Wagoneer has stalled out 3 times at intersections as a result of the automatic start/stop. This is extremely dangerous! I have been stranded in the intersection 2 out of the 3 times until I was able to turn off/on the vehicle and trouble shoot it.”
