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.
I was driving and more then 10 times my car has stalled in the middle of the street while driving and the gear -??D-?? began blinking and note has displayed on the screen saying -??shift to P then to gear-?? and said -??check transmission-?? after shifting to park, the car locked up and I then had to shut off the car, open the door and then turn the car back on to get it to drive again. This happened multiple times and happens every time the vehicle come to a stop at a red light or stop sign. I took the vehicle to the dealership and explained the problem and they placed me in a loaner car for a day or 2. When I was called to come the car everything seemed fine. They said the car -??needed to be updated-?? I drove off and it was okay that afternoon and had no begun to stall and shut off in the street once again.
I stopped at a stop light and the car shut down and an error display to "service Transmission" and the gear shift would not move. A few seconds later the error changed to -??Park Brake Auto Engaged Press Brake + Push Switch to Release-?? I did this several times. After about 10 minutes the vehicle started with a service error message stil on the dash.
Well this is the second time in a week. -??service transmission-?? comes on the dash and turns vehicle off. Cannot do anything but put in park. Sit for 10 to 15 mins and the vehicle will turn on again. Has no codes for the dealer to check. Will not drive again until its fixed.
Just leaving the parking garage after work, I was exiting and the my jeep wrangler just turned off. Light flashed service transmission and shift vehicle park. Once I shifted the vehicle to park and tried to start nothing happened. After about 5 mins and blocking all traffic trying to leave the parking garage my jeep started. Not sure what-??s up but if this happens at freeway speed it could be dangerous.
I bought a brand new 2024 Jeep wrangler which has failed twice for the same issue with just 512 miles on the odometer. The first time it failed happened on the freeway at a speed of 70mph. Smoke started coming out from the rear of the vehicle impairing the traffic behind. I pulled over to the shoulder and noticed oil dripping from the exhaust and the rear undercarriage of the vehicle. I drove the car home fearing it could get on fire. The next day i took the car to the dealership where it was diagnosed with a bad pinion seal on the rear axle at 241miles on the odometer. At around 480 miles on the odometer, the issue came back. Everything happened pretty much the same; smoke coming from the exhaust, differential fluid splashed all over the undercarriage. Vehicle will be towed to the dealership for further inspection.
