ELECTRICAL SYSTEM

1 injured

The HVAC controller failure causes risk of burn to passengers. When operating the HVAC system on Air Conditioning, the system will direct heat from the engine bay without any temperature management resulting in hot engine air being sent through the HVAC system and out to the vents. In some circumstances the hot air is only sent through the rear vents and other times the system sends hot air to all vents with a high variability of when this occurs. In one experience, the hot air was only sent to the rear vents causing the rear vent’s metal knob to become very hot and resulted in my child burning their hand on the knob. The dealer has confirmed the issue on my vehicle and has ordered parts

NHTSA complaint 11675570. Filed by an owner and not verified by NHTSA or by us.

UNKNOWN OR OTHER
HVAC system is erratic and can blow VERY hot air when set to cool, so hot that it burned the top of my feet while driving and forced me to exit the freeway and shut the vehicle down. This failure is random, and properly written fault-tolerant software should NOT allow this condition to happen; it would be better to shut the system off than to cause blisters on people's feet or blowing 140+ deg air when it is only 110° outside. Also, the HVAC system, when malfunctioning, cannot be turned off... it continues to blow hot air. I have taken it to the dealer 3 times with no HVAC resolution, and have been waiting for Ineos to provide a solution.

STEERING
While driving my Ineos Grenadier in the middle of the Arizona desert, the steering suddenly became difficult to control due to a tie rod nut coming loose. The vehicle began wandering and required constant correction to maintain control, creating a serious safety concern in a remote area far from immediate assistance. There were no warning lamps, messages, or alerts displayed inside the vehicle before or during the incident. Just one week prior, the steering and front end components had been inspected by an authorized dealer during service, and no issues were identified at that time. Upon inspection after the incident, the tie rod hardware was found loose, which could have resulted in a

VISIBILITY/WIPER
Windsheild experienced a thermal crack that followed the length of the windscreen defrost vent. The crack began at each end of the vent traveled up about 2 inches and went horizontally across to the other end of the vent. Outside temps were in the single digits and it was snowing. Windscreen defrost was on max in order to provide visibility.

NHTSA complaint 11720781. Filed by an owner and not verified by NHTSA or by us.

AIR BAGS
While traveling on a rough road I experienced a side curtain airbag deployment on our Ineos Grenadier. There was no impact or roll over. There was only one person in the vehicle, the driver, yet both the drivers side and passenger side airbags deployed along with the drivers seatbelt locking mechanism. The airbags never deflated, leaving the driver trapped in the vehicle. To exit the vehicle a knife had to be used to deflate the drivers side airbag. Over one hour later the passenger side airbag had never deflated and also required a knife to puncture it. If there was an actual roll over and water was involved, I fear that the occupants of the vehicle could not get out. Something is faulty
