This data is from the NHTSA — the US gov't agency tasked with vehicle safety. Complaints are spread across multiple & redundant categories, & are not organized by problem.
So how do you find out what problems are occurring? For this NHTSA complaint data, the only way is to read through the comments below. Any duplicates or errors? It's not us.
While the vehicle was idling it jumped out of the park gear and started rolling backwards in reverse approximately 100 to 200 yards. Vehicle was stopped when it hit an embankment. No damage to vehicle or injury reported. Dealership is examing vehicle to determine a cause for this problem. Note: Consumer reported previous incident over NHTSA webpage (ODI reference number 750164). The dealership was unable to duplicate the problem.
Vehicle was started up with motor running, then door was opened, and consumer was standing on outside while vehicle rolled in reverse, consumers vheicle hit 2 other vehicles in its pathway. Consumer stated vehicle was put into park.
Clunks constantly when shifting from park to reverse, goes in excess of 13mph and there is a electrical problem. I am on my third battery. It's been to 2 dealerships numerous times with the problem not being resolved, including arbitration!
Consumer went out to start the vehicle and stood on outside of vehicle, and it started gradually rolling back in reverse, hitting parking gate. Consumer will have the problem looked at.
Consumer put car in reverse, then in drive, and vehicle hesitated. Then it went forward. Consumer took vehicle to dealer, and they replaced transmission.
Vehicle was parked with engine running/ emergency brake not applied, and vehicle suddenly went backward and came to a stop when it hit a tree. $ $2000 damage, no injuries.
As the attorney for the client stated, the consumer put the vehicle in park and exited through the driver's side door for the purpose of fastening the seatbelt on the child. Immediately after getting out of the Jeep, she realized it was in reverse and was going down the incline of the driveway. She was knocked down and the front driver's side tire ran over the side of her body, including her head, the consumer does not appear to have suffered any serious permanent injury (attorney for client).
