Example complaints

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

“Jeep recall-major electrical issues: horn, alarm, windshield wipers and fluid, lights, locks and windows all these things will just start working on their own-sometimes just by pushing the unlock button. The key doesn't have to be in the ignition and if it is running and all these things start going off like the car is possessed, when removing the key everything stays and and won't turn off-even the car will continue to run-literally run until it runs out of gas. Very serious and dangerous issues-this is going to cause a serious accident or death. …”
