Example complaints

“When I go to the gas station to fuel up, I engage the pump lock lever so the pump will fill up and shut off automatically when my gas tank is full. Unfortunately, the fuel pump disengages too late, and an unbelievably excessive amount of fuel will spurt out, cascading down the side of my vehicle. 2 different dealerships have attempted to resolve the issue, yet the problem persists. …”
NHTSA complaint #10683793, filed 2015-02, 10,000 miles“I was rear ended as I was slowing down for another accident in front of me,when my Jeep got rear ended the motor speeded up as I was pushing down on the brake pedal. I could feel the ABS working .only after I hit the gear shift out of gear did my Jeep stop. My engine continue to run at a very high RPM. Only after I shut everything off and restarted need the engine run normal.”
NHTSA complaint #10553500, filed 2013-11, 6,000 miles“The vehicle stalled out on one occasion several months ago. It cranked and cranked but wouldn't turn over. Today when trying to leave, I couldn't get it to turn over...after about half an hour and my battery almost dying I disconnected the negative connection to battery and it fired up after reconnecting. I'm reading there are 50,000+ vehicles with a tipm issue and believe this is impacting my Jeep. It's a $1300 fix that I think chrysler/Jeep should own.”
NHTSA complaint #11046098, filed 2017-11, 57,000 miles“My Jeep Wrangler has stalled out while driving 2x and then does not restart even though it is cranking over. After 15 minutes of sporadic attempts to restart it starts and runs fine. I replaced the cam position sensor and the map sensor at the dealer after the first instance and drove 4000 miles without a problem. It just happened again today. It does not stutter like poor gas delivery or cough it just quits losing power steering and power breaks while I am going down the road.”
NHTSA complaint #11045293, filed 2017-11, 97,000 miles“About a month ago I was in the middle of a 4 hour drive I do on a weekly basis and 2 hours into the drive my vehicle stalled as I was slowing for a yellow light. There was no warning at all and it took me a second to realize it had stalled. I was able to roll out of the traffic lane onto a side road. The police showed up and helped me push it off to the side of the road. At that point I tried to start it, approximately 10mins after stalling and it started right up. …”
