Example complaints
Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.
“While driving 70 on interstate 95 the vehicle started to shake immensely. Had to immediately bring the vehicle to a speed of 35 to stop. This almost caused an accident with the vehicle behind as they had to brake and veer into another lane to avoid it. I am in palm beach fl and will be bringing to dealer right away. The vehicle is a 2019 with 13k miles which I just purchased last week.”

NHTSA complaint #11354788, filed 2020-09, 15,889 miles“I was going around 65 MPH on the freeway and I hit a pothole, my Jeep started to death wobble . It stated to violently shake and vibrate almost pulling the steering wheel out of my hand. I slowed down to under 45 MPH and it stopped. The violent shaking lasted for about 6-10 seconds. I just purchased the Jeep 2 days ago. It is completely stock with the factory tires and the pressure in them was fine. It was also not cold, the high at the time was 97 degrees.”
NHTSA complaint #11253984, filed 2019-09, 14,300 miles“The steering in the 2019 Jeep jl Wrangler is so loose and wanders across the lanes at highway speeds that it has become too dangerous to drive on the freeway. It does not stay centered and it is very difficult to keep straight. It requires so much concentration to work the steering wheel to keep it in the lane that it's just not worth the drive and the extreme stress.”
NHTSA complaint #11283004, filed 2019-11, 4,350 miles“Vehicle shut off while driving with no warning. Would not restart. Many warning lights. Was traveling in the passing lane moving at about 70mph when vehicle turned off. All exterior lighting went out at night. And I had to coast and wait for a tow on the side of the road”
