Example complaints

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

“On two separate occasions my unmodified 2008 Jeep wrangler x has given me an audible ding warning and the airbag warning light came on and stayed on while stuck in very slow moving highway traffic (approximately 0-10 MPH). Both times it was approximately 85-90 degrees f outside and the air conditioning was off. The second time this happened the hot oil warning recall fix had already been performed but I did not receive that warning nor did the temperature gauge rise more than half the width of the needle. …”
