Sample Complaint Reports

"MY HUSBAND AND I BOTH JUST BOUGHT 2015 JEEPS WITH THEIR 9-SPEED AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSIONS. THESE CARS ARE EXTREMELY DANGEROUS AND I AM SCARED TO DRIVE THESE VEHICLES IN SNOW. THE VEHICLE WILL ALL OF A SUDDEN ACCELERATE EVEN THOUGH YOU ARE BRAKING TO COME TO A STOP OR ARE SLOWLY IDLING FORWARD. ..."
"MY 6 WEEK OLD JEEP RENEGADE WON'T START. I INSERTED MY KEY INTO THE IGNITION, I TURNED AND BRIEFLY THE ELECTRICITY WENT ON BUT THE ENGINE DIDN'T TURN. THEN I WENT TO TRY AGAIN AND EVERYTHING LOCKED UP. THE KEY WAS STUCK, THE GEAR SHIFT WAS LOCKED AND WOULDN'T MOVE, AND THE VEHICLE WOULD NOT TURN ON..."
"HESITATION SHIFTING BETWEEN MULTIPLE GEARS. LUNGED FORWARD WITHOUT WARNING AT A COMPLETE STOP. MADE MANUFACTURER AWARE OF ISSUE."
