attempting to operate the vehicle. It remains stranded on the street. This incident also caused me to miss a scheduled medical appointment. This is not the first high-voltage system problem with my vehicle. During an earlier visit to the same authorized Jaguar dealership, technicians documented a high-voltage system isolation fault and performed recall action H570. I paid approximately $270 for the initial diagnosis. The dealership then quoted an additional $4,233 plus tax to continue investigating the fault. Now, before that underlying problem has been resolved, my vehicle has suffered a much more serious failure involving the braking system and complete loss of vehicle operation. When I contacted the dealership, I was directed to Jaguar Roadside Assistance, which quoted towing charges starting at $125, depending on distance. At the same time, the dealer service manager called me back saying no technicians available for my car until next Thursday, so I stopped paying for the road assistance. The car is now still sitting on the street near my home. I am deeply concerned about the safety and reliability of this vehicle, particularly because the braking-system warning and reduced braking effectiveness occurred while the vehicle was moving.

I was afraid to drive the car after this incident. I am thankful that I was not on a major highway when it happened. My safety was put at risk as I had lots of glass now in my yard and partly in the car. I have pets and small children visit that run around in the grass. Not all the glass was cleaned up and it was blowing out my vents in my face. The Kia Dealer said they would not be reporting it. Many people have told me they have heard of this happening. They even have a name for it. Spontaneous Glass Shattering. I believe I deserve some answers other than, they make cheap glass in [[redacted]] and your car was assembled over seas.

low-speed shift jerking (2-3, 3-4, and 4-3 shifts), and continued despite a sensor replacement, a torque converter replacement, a transmission line flush, and a TCM/PCM computer update. The vehicle now exhibits three severe safety hazards: 1. Unintended forward surging/lurching while sitting at a complete stop with the brake pedal firmly depressed. 2. Violent drivetrain shuddering and erratic gear hunting while braking to decelerate (confirmed unrelated to the brake pads or rotors). 3. Sudden, complete engine stalling while the transmission remains in Drive (D), triggering the dashboard message: "Shift to P, then Restart Engine." Most recently, on the evening of [[redacted]] my wife was driving the vehicle with our [[redacted]] daughter in the backseat. While attempting to pull out from a dead stop into live, oncoming traffic, the transmission malfunctioned and stalled the engine completely in the path of passing vehicles. Both the dashboard warning and the live traffic stall event - with passing traffic visible and our [[redacted]] daughter audible in the backseat - were captured on video. Despite repeated service visits and an active corporate escalation with Lincoln Client Services (Case #[[redacted]] [[redacted]]), the dealership and manufacturer have failed to permanently repair the transmission.

continued applying downward pressure instead of stopping or reversing. The liftgate struck the side of my head. To escape the closing liftgate and protect my head and shoulder from further injury, I dropped down onto my knee and moved out of its path. The incident resulted in multiple visible injuries, including redness, bruising, and a scratch along my shoulder and arm; a pronounced red, ring-shaped mark developing on my upper arm; an impact to the side of my head; subsequent neck pain and tenderness; and developing bruising to my knee. I have photographs documenting my injuries were taken shortly after the incident. I suspect a malfunction or inadequate response of the powered rear liftgate's obstruction-detection, motor force-limiting, or automatic reversal system. The liftgate continued pressing downward despite significant physical resistance from my shoulder and body. It did not stop or reverse in time to prevent injury. The vehicle belongs to Hertz and should be identifiable and locatable through the rental agreement and VIN. I am requesting that Hertz preserve the vehicle and make it available for safety inspection. Its availability for inspection has not yet been confirmed. The continued downward movement of the liftgate trapped or pressed against my upper body, struck my head, and forced me to drop onto my knee to escape. The same behavior could present a substantial safety hazard to other adults, children, or anyone standing beneath a liftgate.

had gotten off of the highway and pulled over. With a quick google search as we were unsure what happened we had realized it was from the Kia k5 recall and our car was no longer safe to drive. We had to have a tow truck take us and our car to the closest kia which was still very far from home. This could have been much worse. Kia Riverside had seen my car to service it for the recall. They kept my car for hours and then said they didnt have the part to fix it, they had told me they ordered it. But after multiple calls i realized they did not care to fix my car. They were neglectful and this recall could have cause me and my family serious damage.

already where I have no option but to tow something with my truck but, because the dealership refuses to fix the 03D recall, its put many lives at risk. Its even more frustrating because I know they have parts, they just prioritize new sales instead of existing customers. I know the GM of another dealership who has told me they have the parts and they are readily available. I don't understand why Lithia Jeep Doge Ram of Missoula cant fix this major safety issue.

potential for loss of the finger tips. With the low voltage battery dying unexpectedly and without warning, and not even knowing there was such a thing in the Tesla, had a child been locked in the car, or had the closing mechanism engaged on a child's fingers, hands, or arms, serious injury could have resulted. I attempted to get any available video of the incident from the airport/Cleveland Police Public Records Department, but they replied there was no available record.

I advised FCA that the towing expense resulted from the active federal safety recall rather than an ordinary warranty failure and requested identification of its recall towing policy, but FCA did not substantively address those questions.

and exposes the vehicle interior to weather and road debris. If this failure occurred while driving, it could startle the driver, impair visibility, and increase the risk significantly of an accident. s of the date of this complaint, the vehicle has not yet been inspected by Nissan, law enforcement, insurance representatives, or an independent service center. The damage is being documented, and the vehicle will be presented to the dealership for further evaluation. No warning lamps, dashboard messages, or other noticeable symptoms preceded the rear windshield failure. The glass shattered unexpectedly and without any known advance indication of a problem.

possibility of sudden deceleration, loss of vehicle control, or a rear-end collision. An authorized Ford dealership diagnosed internal movement of the CDF clutch drum assembly and recommended complete transmission replacement. CarMax's extended warranty administrator is sending an independent inspector to verify Ford's findings. The vehicle and transmission remain available for inspection through the dealership. These symptoms developed over the past several months. Ford has documented this failure mechanism in Technical Service Bulletin 25-2475, which specifically covers 2017-2020 F-150 trucks equipped with the 10R80 transmission: [[redacted]] A [[redacted]], Ford Authority article documents continuing transmission failures, premature CDF component problems, and the absence of a comprehensive recall: [[redacted]] Ford has acknowledged this failure mechanism through service bulletins, yet affected owners continue experiencing potentially dangerous transmission behavior. I request that NHTSA investigate whether these failures constitute a widespread safety defect warranting a mandatory recall.

and second-row seatbelts fail to securely latch, neither the driver nor rear occupants - including my child - can be safely restrained in motion, creating severe injury or ejection risk during sudden braking or a crash. Despite weekly calls over 30 days reporting this hazard, the dealer advised continuing to drive the vehicle until an appointment opened. Dealer Confirmation: Not yet physically confirmed by a technician due to Genesis Santa Monica's ~30-day intake delay; however, the malfunction is captured on video and submitted in writing to the Service Manager ahead of the November 12, 2026 Inspection. Manufacturer, Police, or Insurance Inspection: None yet by the manufacturer, police, or insurance. A corporate safety escalation case is open with Genesis Customer Care, with dealer inspection scheduled for November 12, 2026. Prior Warning Lamps or Symptoms: UNKNOWN regarding internal fault codes, as no dashboard warning lamps or messages appeared. Symptoms began ~1 month ago (~7,000-8,000 miles) as physical resistance and failure of the seatbelt latches to lock.

Putnam Kia in Burlingame, CA. According to dealership service records, NHTSA Safety Recall Campaign SC276 was performed on this vehicle on [[redacted]]. Because no active diagnostic trouble codes (DTCs) were present at the time of that inspection, the dealership performed the "fuse-only" remedy and left the original defective factory Hydraulic Clutch Actuator installed in the vehicle. Putnam Kia has now confirmed that the original Hydraulic Clutch Actuator and wiring assembly have failed, logging active DTCs P17ED (Engine clutch system EOL fault), P17E8 (Engine clutch system abnormal), P1744 (Transmission engine clutch system performance), and related CAN bus communication faults. Under Kia's official Technical Service Bulletin for Recall SC276, these exact DTCs mandate the replacement of the Hydraulic Clutch Actuator, wiring kit, and fuse to prevent internal fluid leakage, circuit board shorting, and potential thermal/fire or stalling hazards. Because the recall status on my VIN was closed following the January 2024 fuse-only repair, Kia is currently declining to cover the replacement of the failed recall component. I have opened a case with Kia Consumer Affairs and am submitting this report to document that the fuse-only remedy under SC276 failed to prevent the primary safety hazard on this vehicle.
