“On a hybrid mode, drive gear at less than 10mph to park the vehicle. No engine warning lights, and no unusual signs. The car suddenly accelerated as I hit the brakes. At the time of the acceleration, the gasoline engine immediately came on and vehicle only came to stop as I stomped on the brakes for the second time, causing property damage.”

NHTSA complaint #11554516, filed 2023-11

“I was driving and the ABS lights and other lights came on and the brakes went out. I had to push the brakes to the floor before it gradually stopped. If there was someone in front of me when when the brakes went out I could have died. The car was taken to the dealer where they replaced the brakes but Jeep won’t buy the car back. I only had the jeep for 2 months and bought it new.”

“I had just left my home and got up to about 20-25 MPH when my Jeep Wrangler Willy’s 4XE suddenly and abruptly came to a full stop causing the tires to lock up as well and screech to a stop then it shut down and I had to restart it. It jolted my upper body and head forward and could’ve been much more dangerous if I were on a busy road or if anyone were driving behind me. I took it to my local dealership and they were able to recreate the issue after driving it and it shut off just as it did for me. …”
