car is that the dashboard is melting for several years and its also a known issue. Now, I will describe the symptoms of the car. 1. I bout this car with Mossy Nissan dealer, San Diego, CA. in July, 2010. Since i bout the car, i used to feel a burst of power when when starting to drive. I'd press the gas and it would take a second or two to move with power, I thought this is the way the car was and I liked it. unfortunately, this burst of power got more delayed as the car became older to the point that I am in a red light and the car does not move although I am pressing the gas. now the car stalls sometimes but not often. 2. I recognize this is a safety issue because for me because i can be hit by other car from the back when the car loses power. last weekend, I was on an intersection exiting the highway and made a left just when the car staled and another car almost collided with me. According to the internet report on this car, this is a known issue to Nissan. 3. Unfortunately, the car does not give me an alarm or safety warning on the dashboard when this happens, so its hard for the mechanics to troubleshoot.

2025 Genesis GV70Acceleration & cruise controlBrakesDriver assistanceCrash

On [redacted], at approximately 10:14 AM, my husband, [[redacted]], was backing our 2025 Genesis GV70 3.5T Sport out of our garage at [[redacted]]. He states that the gas pedal felt stuck and that he could not get his foot off the accelerator. The vehicle accelerated in reverse across our driveway, struck our mailbox, crossed the street, struck a Comcast cable box, crossed the grass between two homes, struck landscaping shrubs, and finally struck a tree in a wooded area, where it came to rest (Ocean Township Police...

Report #[redacted] my husband's statement that the pedal felt stuck is recorded in that report). Fortunately, no one was injured. There was property damage to the mailbox, the cable box, and a neighbor's landscaping. I requested an investigation from Genesis Motor America (Case #[redacted]). Genesis inspected the vehicle and downloaded its event data. Its final determination ([redacted]) states that the data shows the accelerator was fully depressed before the collision and the brake was applied 0.5 seconds before impact at 26 mph, and concludes the accident was not caused by a defect. I am filing this complaint because the determination does not address two safety questions: 1. **The unintended acceleration itself.** My husband's consistent account - given to police at the scene - is that the pedal felt stuck and he could not remove his foot from it. A post-accident inspection finding the pedals working normally does not explain this event. 2. **The reverse automatic braking system.** This vehicle is equipped with Reverse Parking Collision-Avoidance Assist, which is designed to warn and brake when reversing toward objects at parking speed. The event began at parking speed, in our driveway, with our mailbox directly behind the vehicle. Genesis's determination does not mention this system at all - not whether it was active, not whether it detected anything, and not why it never warned or braked. # [redacted] INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)

seatbelt is inoperable frozen in place. This means it's unsafe. We need our car to be fully functional and safe. Ford needs to get the parts available. A repair shop told us they can get the part today. I believe Ford is delaying the letter for the fix because of cost to them. Please intervene for all of us who share this problem

2024 Tesla Model Y (all Variants)Other & unknownCrash

I have been rear-ended three times within the past 9 months while using FSD on my 2024 Tesla Model Y.

2023 Ram 1500 Quad CabTransmission & drivetrainEngine & cooling

I am filing this complaint to formally document a potential safety concern involving the transmission in my Dodge Ram 1500. The transmission has been slipping while driving, and I am concerned that this malfunction could lead to an unexpected loss of drive power or other transmission failure while the vehicle is in operation, potentially creating a serious safety hazard for me, my passengers, and other motorists.

and evaluation of the transmission problem. The underlying cause has not yet been confirmed, and the dealership's diagnostic findings are pending. The vehicle and its transmission are available for inspection. I have reported the transmission issue to Chrysler Customer Care and opened a case. I am also submitting this complaint to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) so that my reported transmission problem and related safety concerns are formally documented. I am aware of NHTSA Recall 24V-413, which concerns certain 2023 Ram 1500, 2500, and 3500 vehicles and identifies a potential defect that may result in a loss of drive power or the inability to place the vehicle in Park. I do not know whether my vehicle is covered by this recall or whether the transmission slipping I am experiencing is related to the defect described in the recall. I am requesting that NHTSA document and review this complaint to determine whether the reported transmission malfunction may represent a safety defect and whether further investigation is warranted. I am particularly concerned about the possibility of an unexpected transmission failure while driving. This complaint is being submitted while the vehicle is at the dealership for evaluation, before the cause of the problem has been established. I want to ensure that the transmission issue and my safety concerns are formally on record with NHTSA. The cause of the inspection results are currently unknown.

2024 Buick Encore GXBrakes

Buick dealer is not honoring a GM service bulletin for my car because my VIN number is not on the list but yet my Car exhibits that we had exact problem that the bulletin is for and they are not even honoring the bumper-to-bumper warranty that I have on the car. And there is a kid to fix it. I have evidence I have video.

2023 GMC Sierra 1500Transmission & drivetrainEngine & coolingFuel system

On [redacted], at approximately 2:30am, about 30 hours after purchase, a 2023 GMC Sierra Denali Ultimate suffered catastrophic engine failure in [[redacted]] during a planned 20 hour trip. The vehicle had about 49,007 miles at purchase and 49,411 miles at the time of failure. The check engine light appeared during the trip.

traffic. The dashboard displayed "LOW OIL PRESSURE STOP ENGINE," code P0016, and a transmission warning. I had to move into another lane to reach the shoulder. The sudden loss of propulsion at 2:30am created a serious crash risk because the truck could have been struck by nearby traffic or become disabled on the one-lane road without a shoulder. The engine had received the GM L87 recall remedy on [redacted] involving a change to 0W-40 oil. Despite this remedy, the engine failed while the vehicle was moving. The repair order lists replacements for the engine, radiator, oil cooler lines, intake manifold and gaskets, spark plugs and wires, water pump gaskets, high pressure fuel lines, fuel pump gasket, and battery. The GMC app currently lists a "Required Product Emission Recall" for the fuel pump power control module and states that module failure can interrupt fuel flow to the engine. However, the NHTSA VIN lookup, refreshed [redacted] reports zero unrepaired recalls. The reason for this discrepancy is unknown, as is whether the fuel pump recall condition contributed to the incident. I am reporting this sudden loss of driving power and engine failure despite the prior L87 recall remedy because these conditions may pose a serious safety risk.

2018 Alfa Romeo StelvioFuel system

Legal Compliance & Safety Hazard Remedy - VIN: [[redacted]] Alfa Romeo's response frames towing as a "warranty coverage" issue. This is factually incorrect and legally irrelevant. This is not a warranty claim; this is a federally mandated National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) safety campaign involving a severe vehicle fire and engine stalling hazard.

the consumer, free of charge. Alfa Remeo has failed to provide that access: Complete Infrastructure Failure in [[redacted]]: My nearest in-state authorized dealer, Dennis Dillon Fiat in [[redacted]], has formally refused to perform this safety recall because they do not have an Alfa-certified technician on staff. Extreme Geographical Hardship: Because Alfa Romeo's only in-state service center lacks the technical capability to fulfill your safety mandate, the nearest operational dealership is now roughly 9.5 hours away. Severe Safety Liability: Alfa Romeo is demanding that I personally operate or coordinate the transport of a vehicle with an active, un-remedied fuel system fire/stalling hazard across nearly 10 hours of public highway. Doing so places severe liability on me and a catastrophic safety risk on the public - a risk caused entirely by a manufacturing defect and your broken dealer network. Because Stellantis cannot provide a qualified technician within a reasonable or safe distance from ZIP code [[redacted]], they are failing to provide a functionally accessible recall remedy. I am requesting that Alfa Romeo authorize one of the following logistical accommodations: Option A: Stellantis covers the full cost of a commercial auto-carrier to transport the vehicle from [[redacted]] to your closest functional facility and return it upon completion. Option B: Stellantis issues a formal franchise waiver to allow my local local Chrysler-Dodge-Jeep-Ram (CDJR) in [[redacted]].
