What this page shows
Everything below is an owner-reported complaint submitted to NHTSA about the 2017 Dynamax Rev, grouped by the component NHTSA recorded on the report. These are not confirmed defects, and they are not recalls. NHTSA does not verify most reports before publishing them, and a category with more reports in it is not evidence that a part is defective.
Complaints are reports submitted by owners and drivers to NHTSA. They are not verified and do not establish that a defect exists.

Each component in detail
What the reports in each category say, in the owners' own words
Powertrain (other)
Powertrain reports that are not specifically the engine or transmission — driveshafts, axles, transfer cases and differentials.
From owner reports, verbatim
WHEN TRAVELING AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS (55-60 MPH) WITH THE CRUISE CONTROL ENGAGED, THE TRANSMISSION WILL SUDDENLY DOWN SHIFT INTO A LOW GEAR CAUSING THE ENGINE TO BRAKE VIOLENTLY. THIS COULD RESULT IN LOSS OF CONTROL AND/OR A REAR END COLLISION AND/OR A PASSENGER INJURY. THIS HAS HAPPENED ROUGHLY 12 TIMES AT RANDOM ON LEVEL OR GENTLY SLOPING ROADS DURING TWO SUMMERS OF OPERATION. WHEN IT HAPPENS THE TACHOMETER IS PEGGED NEAR THE TOP OF ITS RANGE AND OBJECTS/PASSENGERS WITHIN THE CABIN ARE THROWN ABOUT VIOLENTLY.
Too few reports in this category for a page of its own — they appear in the full complaint list.
Higher-selling and older vehicles accumulate more reports. Counts are not failure rates and are not directly comparable between vehicles that sold in very different numbers.
