Example complaints

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

“The Anti-lock Braking System (ABS) module on my 2015 Jeep Wrangler failed at approximately 100,000 miles, causing a complete loss of ABS functionality. The component remains installed in the vehicle and is available for inspection upon request. This failure significantly impacted my safety and the safety of others, as it compromised braking performance, making the vehicle more difficult to control during sudden stops or slippery road conditions. …”

“Horn, and all controls on my steering wheel went out. Not sure about my airbag. I thought it may be due to airbag recall but when I went to my dealership to have the recall work done, they told me it was the passenger side airbag only but that it could be the clockspring because they have had several jeeps come in for that same issue. I was actually driving, trying to avoid a car coming into my lane when I found out I had no horn! That's how I found out.”

NHTSA complaint #11377703, filed 2020-12, 73,000 miles

“Immediately after completing work from the air bag recall my vehicle began to accelerate on its own. I would hold a steady throttle and it would all of a sudden speed up. It would last for a few to several seconds and slow down to a point less than the steady throttle. When I would use cruise control the vehicle would vary in speed by five to seven miles per hour. This was definitely a change from the way it operated prior to the recall. I used injector cleaner through several tanks, but the problem persisted. …”

“While driving down freeway, the cruise control was set to 62. It suddenly accelerated on its own (as though I had slammed on the gas pedal) while being passed by a semi truck and trailer. When I tapped the break, it did not turn off. When I slammed the break down, it did not deactivate. I was forced to throw it in neutral, and veer into the shoulder. While in neutral, the engine was still revving as though the gas was pressed. Once stopped in neutral, I had to turn off the vehicle completely in order to put the vehicle into park. …”

“Driving thru intersection at 40 MPH.when it shifted it stopped forward motion.the engine continued to run as I stepped in gas,the Jeep would not move.. I was stuck in the passing lane with cars going. 50 MPH. Almost rear ended a couple of times even though I had the hazards on. The turned off and the on. It started right up wouldn't move though. Had it towed to the dealer and they checked for codes and it didn't I have any. At this point they don't know.they have had it for three days. They want me to come get it..I am afraid to drive this vehicle. …”
