Emerging complaint spikes

Complete months in the latest six months with at least 10 complaints, at least twice the preceding 12-month average, and at least three square-root deviations above that average.

This is a descriptive screening rule, not a statistical defect finding. Publicity and reporting changes can increase submissions.

No complete months meet the spike thresholds for this selection.

Equal-age model-year comparison

Model-wide cumulative reports during the first three or five calendar years, starting with the model year (age 0). Only fully elapsed windows are compared.

THE BIGGEST COMPLAINT AT THE TIME WAS WHEN YOU OPEN YOUR DOOR TO GET IN YOU LITERALLY GET A FOOT SOAKING!!!!!!!!! THE DEALERSHIP COULD NOT RESOLVE ANY OF THE ISSUES THAT I HAD. THEY EVEN LAUGHED WHEN I ASKED THEM WHAT TO DO ABOUT THE DOOR AND SAID I BETTER GE…

2006 JEEP COMMANDER STALLS AT NO PARTICULAR TIME, ROLLS BACK ON AN INCLINE AFTER TAKING FOOT OFF BRAKE PEDAL, VEHICLE WILL SHUT OFF AT NO PARTICULAR TIME. JEEP HAS RECALLS FOR THESE PROBLEMS BUT THE VIN SAYS NONE IS AVAILABLE THEREFORE DEALER WILL NOT PERFORM RECALL. RECALL IS FOR THE V8 MODEL BUT THE VEHICLE HAS THE EXACT SAME TRANSMISSION AND HAS THE SAME CHARACTERISTICS EVEN THOUGH IT IS A V6 MODEL. VERY UNSAFE TO DRIVE WHILE HAVING THESE PROBLEMS. *TR
