Example complaints

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

“Driver seat without notice lowers with result that the driver has mirrors that are now not adjusted and visibility issues. I have in good faith tried to get it repaired at dealership and they have in-turn tried to repair by installing two new mechanisms: both replacements do the same. It appears to be an engineering design defect. My vehicle purchased new is a 2008 Jeep rubicon, four door.”

NHTSA complaint #10281419, filed 2009-08, 1,000 miles

“I was on 75 south bound going 70 MPH. I had just gotten on the interstate from the bruce b downs entrance. After the right lane ended I switched to the middle lane. Coming up to fletcher exit, the gears changed. Almost like the car gave out. I looked down, I didn't change anything. On my way to look back up I see smoke from the hood and smoke through the rare view mirror. Grey smoke in the front and black in the back. I looked down at the gages and it was over heating. Looked to my left, no cars, pulled over to the left emergency lane. …”
