In April 2026, while the vehicle was being driven, the engine shut off once. Inspection at Valley-Hi Honda found a cracked engine with metal debris in the oil, with diagnostic codes P0017 and P0219. A sudden engine shutdown and engine failure while driving is a safety hazard because it causes loss of power in traffic. The manufacturer, American Honda Motor Co., Inc., denied warranty coverage, claiming driver abuse based on a stored code showing about 7,675 RPM for 0.6 seconds. The engine (longblock) was replaced at...

In September of 2025, soon after purchasing my RAM, I had to use the front defrost. When the defrost/heater got hot, the touchscreen was inaccessible. I could hear the radio and heater fan, but I could not control any function as the touchscreen was completely black. Once it cooled down everything worked fine. It did it all winter when using the heat and it did it this summer daily when the cab got hot from sitting with windows cracked open at my work place. I am concerned that if it gets too hot, it may catch...

The contact owns a 2022 Ford Bronco. The contact received notifications of NHTSA Campaign Numbers: 25V025000 (Suspension), 25V721000 (Seats), and NHTSA Campaign Number: 26V468000 (Engine, Electrical System); however, the parts to do the recall repairs were not yet available. The local dealer was contacted. The contact stated that the manufacturer had exceeded a reasonable amount of time for the recall repairs. The manufacturer was made aware of the issue.

I own a 2025 Nissan Pathfinder with approximately 12,800 miles. During inspection on 10/26/2026 at Nissan Riverside, the dealer found the rear brake pads had gone metal to metal - no brake pad material left - which caused damage to the rear rotors, requiring replacement of both pads and rotors. No dashboard warning light came but a grinding noise. The front brakes were still in good condition. The vehicle has not been used for towing or aggressive driving. Rear pads wearing completely through at 12,800 miles,...

The vehicle is 10 years old with 150,000 miles. The vehicle did not pass inspection, as the front end chassis/structural frame is completely rusted and corroded. The cost to replace this structure is $3,200. This seems unusual for a 10 year old car with no visible rust that is in very good condition. I read that the air conditioning condensate drips on the structure. This coupled with road salt in Rochester, NY, caused the unusual corrosion.

I have taken my car 3 times to 3 different Kia dealerships for this issue. First on 9/13/2026, then 10/13/2026 and on 10/26/2026. While driving at highway speed my vehicle suddenly begins to loose power and the check engine light comes on. This is dangerous for myself as well as other drivers.

Seat belt light appears on dash even when I am Buckled. I went to see what the problem was and the specialist said the belt buckle was defective. The mechanic searched the part nationwide and was informed the part is not available. I'm currently driving with a faulty driver belt buckle which is a safety concern.

I am reporting repeated, sudden losses of motive power at highway speeds in my 2024 Jeep Grand Cherokee 4xe (PHEV). The vehicle's propulsion, electrical, and engine systems completely shut down without warning, causing the car to randomly stop while cruising at 60 mph on the highway, creating an immediate and severe crash risk. Despite the authorized dealership (David Auto of Glen Mills, PA) claiming that all outstanding safety recalls regarding drive power loss were resolved, the defect has actually worsened....

I am experiencing an issue with the steering in my vehicle, in which the steering wheel shutters and rattles/shakes when making turns. This happens mostly when turning left at slow speeds, but also sometimes when turning right. The shuttering and shaking typically happens around the 11 and 1 o'clock position. This issue is very worrisome, as I am afraid that the power steering will completely fail one day, leading to a crash. I am also having an issue in which the start/stop system shuts down in the middle of...

I was driving to work and the transmission faltered, grinded, tried to shift, and I thought the vehicle was going to crash. There were cars around me, and I was going about 30 to 35 miles per hour. I was able to pull over and turned off the car. I then drove it to an auto shop and the mechanic stated that it is the transmission. My Ford Escape 2023 has 68,000 miles. It has stalled twice on the road at a stop light/stop sign since August 2026 also. I no longer trust that the vehicle is safe.

It happened on [[redacted]] where the service engine light was on and died in the middle of traffic. This light was on after we purchased the vehicle but not on when we test drove it. I think the dealership knew about and are not wanting to fix it. Not the car want start at all. My son spent his hard earned money to purchase a car. We had to have it towed home.

The contact owns a 2021 Jeep Grand Cherokee L. The contact stated that three times while driving approximately 60 MPH, the vehicle lost automotive power. The message "Service Transmission" was displayed. The vehicle was taken to a dealer where it was diagnosed, and the contact was informed that the failure could not be duplicated. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The failure mileage was 53,331.

Driver's side rear spring broke on 10.17.2026. I noticed the driver's side rear end was sagging when I viewed car from behind while parked. It was not sagging before then. This vehicle had a safety recall NHTSA19V188000/VW42J5 performed back in 2019 and the rear springs were replaced then. So the replaced spring (under recall 19V188000) broke. I had to have a third party vendor replace the spring as no VW dealership was within the area. Car was not drivable and needed to be towed.

I rented this car and what I noticed is that the highly polished LCD display reflects sunlight into the driver's eyes. This was noticed while driving North at approximately 7:30AM until 10:00AM. The reflection is actually blinding. The screen should have a matte finish to minimize this blinding reflection.

The panoramic sunroof glass on my 2025 Cadillac Escalade shattered on its own on October 11, 2026. Nothing struck the glass, and there was no impact, debris, or collision. The vehicle has about 26,000 miles and is under factory warranty, but the dealership denied warranty coverage. After the glass was replaced, broken glass shards are still lodged in the sunroof shade track and grind whenever the shade opens or closes, and pieces of glass were found on the floorboard. Spontaneous shattering of overhead glass is a safety hazard to occupants. Other owners have reported the same failure (NHTSA ODI 11708639, 11727950, 11557285, 11489359).

Computer BCM module malfunction while driving. All warning light went off like Christmas tree.

Jeep compass is notorious for electrical issues. Randomly jolts because of the turbo. Randomly pops up electrical issues when there are no electrical issues. On the date of October 26 the car was flashing signals and lights that correlated to nothing going on with the car and locked both its brakes and gas. Thankfully, I was not on the road yet because the car would not start. The car control system aswell jolts the car during unnecessary times.

ac compressor failure. This is a known defect in ALL 10th Generation Honda vehicles. My 2020 Honda Civic Sport at 44K miles AC compressor has failed. The extended warranty that Honda issued will not cover a new compressor that Honda has diagnosed it needs. I have been fighting very hard with Honda Corporate to Goodwill a compressor replacement which they priced at over $2,500 out of pocket. I have been driving in over 100 degrees weather for over 2 months with no cold air. Pacific Honda in San Diego did make an...

My 2019 Cadillac XT5 has repeatedly shuddered at highway speeds since shortly after purchase on July 25, 2026. It occurs around 61-62 mph while maintaining speed before accelerating. The cause is UNKNOWN. The selling dealership evaluated the vehicle and performed a front-wheel alignment, but the shuddering persists. Its repair record states that technicians could not reproduce the shuddering during a test drive. A test drive with me was proposed to demonstrate when it occurs. The vehicle has also displayed a...

The contact owned a 2008 Hyundai Elantra. The contact stated that upon pulling into the driveway, the power steering and ABS warning lights illuminated. After researching the warning lights online, the contact turned off and exited the vehicle. The contact became aware of smoke coming from underneath the hood. Upon opening the hood, the contact noticed that the under hood was on fire and called the Fire Department. The Fire Department arrived on the scene and extinguished the fire. The contact was informed that...
