Example complaints

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

“In 2009 my tipm failed and I experienced the 'possessed Jeep' condition where everything turned on (lights, turn signals, horn, radio blasting with no display). I took it to the dealer and they replaced free of charge (under 5 year warranty). In 2012 my rear brake calipers seized on both the passenger and driver side, they were glowing cherry-red after a 1 hour commute into work, perfect to start a fire if I had pulled into a gas station with some gas spilled on the ground or something. …”

“Takata recall, I keep receiving calls regarding my recall. My Jeep was imported from puerto rico and they have the airbag and the dealership here does not have any airbags and could not help me. I have been waiting over an year for the airbag. Last week I went to the dealership in lake orion, mi and was informed that they do not have a status on when they will be receiving these airbags. My concern is I have 4 children and its my only vehicle. Please advise on this recall.”
