Example complaints

Engine: “My 16 year old son was driving the 2016 LR4 that we purchased pre-certified less than 3 weeks ago from field's lr in northbrook illinois. Going 68 on the highway, the wheel started to lock up, the gas peddle failed, and smoke started coming through the vents. He was able to keep a cool head for a new driver and get to side of road by sheer luck that the road veered to the left. Once in park more smoke came through vents and he and his friend jumped out and ran, while the engine continued to catch fire and eventually blow up, as shown in the video below. Post explosion pictures attached too.”

NHTSA complaint #11255062, filed 2019-09, 75,000 miles

Other or unknown: “Car was running, but in park (parking brake off). I went to the back to get something out (I was dropping something off at a neighbor's) and the back tailgate wouldn't open. Went back, opened door and pressed unlock button on door. Still wouldn't open (which I realize now probably is because the car wasnt actually in park). I thought it was because the car was on, so I reached in to press button to turn it off. Car began quickly rolling back down the driveway. I jumped in and pressed the brake, fortunately no injury, but very scary. …”
