Example complaints

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

“Backing out of driveway and Jeep shut completely down. I restarted it, continued backing up and Jeep shut off again. Put it in drive and drove 20 miles. Arrived at my destination, in parking garage, and Jeep shut completely down for the third time and this time in drive. I had it towed to the dealership who are unable to reenact it and aren't getting any codes.”

NHTSA complaint #11190927, filed 2019-03, 36,600 miles

“The vehicle's traction control light alarmed and automatically applied brakes heavily resulting in a near miss rear end collision. The vehicle hindered the gas pedal and I was forced to a stop on the middle of a heavily travel roadway. The vehicle is still under factory warranty. I called chrysler and made an appointment. After 4 days, I was told nothing is wrong with my vehicle.”

“I have seen hood flutter numerous times when passing semi trailers on interstates. The flutter was worrisome so I replaced original holding straps with stronger third party straps. Since replacement of straps the fluttering has ceased.”

NHTSA complaint #11111265, filed 2018-07, 1,500 miles

“During high winds the hood was fluttering. On 11/23/2020, during high winds, on a state highway at about 65 MPH, we passed a large truck and the driver's side hood latch sheered off in the wind. We replaced that latch and noticed the fluttering was reduced on the driver's side but not on the passenger side, so we replaced the passenger side as well. We had to obtain parts from two dealerships, as neither dealership had two parts. Both dealerships indicated this was a known problem and they have been unable to stock enough parts.”

NHTSA complaint #11377124, filed 2020-11, 36,000 miles

“When driving home from lubbock at posted speeds of 70 and 75 MPH my hood started to flutter and jump. I was on 2 lane roads and if a tractor trailer passed me the hood would actually raise up. I pulled over at a convenience store and checked to ensure my hood straps were on and that the hood was closed and it was. I took my Jeep to the dealership and they said that the hood is way out of alignment, way out of factory specs however they cannot fix it because they don't have a frame straightener (my term not theirs). …”
