2011 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE — Complaint #1483200
Open-data reference.
NHTSA Complaint about FORWARD COLLISION AVOIDANCE: ADAPTIVE LIGHTING filed July 16, 2018
NHTSA complaint #1483200 (ODI reference 11111704) concerns a 2011 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE and was filed on July 16, 2018. The owner reports the failure occurred on July 15, 2018. The vehicle had 103,000 miles on the odometer at the time of the incident. The report was geocoded to Kentucky based on the filer's self-reported location. The affected component is categorized as forward collision avoidance: adaptive lighting, one of NHTSA's standardized taxonomy codes used to group defect patterns across make, model, and year.
The filer flagged the following severity indicators: crash: no, fire: no, injuries: 0, fatalities: 0. No crash, fire, or fatality was associated with this report, which places it in the early-warning stream rather than the priority-review stream. No VIN was supplied by the filer, so this complaint contributes to model-year trend data but cannot be tied to a specific vehicle.
Individual complaints are consumer-submitted and unverified by NHTSA engineers — the agency's role at this stage is to collect, index, and make them searchable. What matters for federal action is the pattern: when many owners of the same JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE cohort independently describe similar forward collision avoidance: adaptive lighting failures, defect investigators have grounds to open a PE and request manufacturer data.
