Example complaints

“I purchased this vehicle on 30 october 2020. I drove for 38 miles total. On november 1st at approximately 02|:30 a.m. The vehicle caught after being parked for more than 15 hours. Total mileage on the vehicle 131 miles.”
NHTSA complaint #11376005, filed 2020-11, 131 miles“On 4 occasions, the vehicle demonstrated sudden unintended acceleration. All events occurred while coming to a gradual stop applying the brakes normally. Each time, the vehicle engine suddenly revved high and shot forward [into an intersection once through a stop sign!]. On all occasions, the accelerator peddle was not depressed and the floor mat was not interfering. Only by split-second response on my part was I able to avoid a collision with the vehicle in front of me. It happened over several days--not just a single period or session.”
NHTSA complaint #11349684, filed 2020-08, 3,000 miles“Back up warning system is malfunctioning. When the car is put into reverse, a constant loud tone starts. This is a safety issue as it masks alerts when there is someone or something actually behind the car. Dealer says this is normal. However, this did not happen until dealer installed after market wheels and tires.”
NHTSA complaint #11354132, filed 2020-09, 8,000 miles“Bought our vehicle new as you drive down rode the faster you go the harder it is to control steering to stay in your lane. Reported it to dealership they won't take it on main road to drive faster than 35 says it's a Jeep thing. This is constant hard to handle while in regular drive mode.”
NHTSA complaint #11352974, filed 2020-09, 45 miles“At speeds above 40mph the vehicle just wants to wander usually to the drivers side. Have to constantly over correct to keep it straight. There is a bad leak allowing outside air to enter the vehicle on the drivers side.”
