While driving, my vehicle suffered a sudden, complete loss of power brake assist. The pedal became rock hard, required extreme force to stop, and the vehicle barely stopped. The dash displayed "Service Electronic Braking System" plus ABS and brake warning lights. Inspection found ENGINE OIL inside the brake booster. The engine-mounted vacuum pump is leaking oil through the vacuum supply tube into the booster, destroying the diaphragm and eliminating assist. This is the identical defect in NHTSA recall 15V-800 (FCA...

R63) for the 2013-2014 Dodge Dart with the same 2.4L Tigershark engine family, which describes "engine oil migration from the vacuum pump, through the vacuum supply tube, and into the brake booster" causing loss of assist that "could cause a crash without warning." This is the SECOND failure. The brake booster was replaced about 3 years ago; the identical failure recurred because the oil source was never fixed. Chrysler's own bulletin TT-68166807-AB directs dealers to replace the pump, supply tube, booster AND master cylinder when oil is found in the booster - proof the manufacturer knows this defect. This car shares the Dart's vacuum pump brake assist design yet was never recalled. Many other 2015-2017 Chrysler 200 owners have filed complaints describing this exact failure, including crashes. Please investigate extending the 15V-800 remedy to the Chrysler 200. Date of incident: [11/10/26]. Mileage: [119724]. Crash/injuries: [None].
Transmission manufacturing defect causing failure. Whining noise & CEL with P27137F code.
My 2024 Mazda CX-90 MHEV developed an active coolant leak from the radiator at approximately 40,829 miles. The leak was discovered on November 5, 2026, during a routine oil change at an independent repair facility. A slow, active coolant drip was observed, and an authorized Mazda dealership subsequently confirmed that the radiator itself was leaking. The vehicle was previously serviced at an authorized Mazda dealership on August 3, 2026, at approximately 35,000 miles for an oil change, while still within the...

manufacturer's 3-year/36,000-mile warranty. It was also at the dealership on September 23, 2026, at 38,023 miles for a warranty brake pad replacement. No radiator concerns were reported during either visit. I am concerned about the premature failure of a critical engine cooling component at relatively low mileage. Continued coolant loss could result in engine overheating, loss of power, or engine damage, potentially creating a safety hazard while driving. I have also found numerous reports from other 2024 Mazda CX-90 owners describing similar premature radiator failures, raising concerns about a possible recurring manufacturing defect. I am requesting that NHTSA investigate whether these failures indicate a broader safety-related defect affecting this model.
While driving, my 2018 Range Rover displayed a red "Suspension Fault. Stop Safely. Stop Engine." warning. I later saw hydraulic fluid dripping under the vehicle near the driver-side doors. A Land Rover dealer (Jaguar Land Rover Chantilly, VA) diagnosed a leak in the Active Roll Control (ACE/Dynamic Response) hydraulic system, with stored fault codes C1B11-92, C1B11-62, C104B-92, and C1119-09 for hydraulic pressure. They also found contaminated hydraulic fluid and leaks at the fluid pump and the rear ACE lines. The...

dealer recommends replacing the pump and rear ACE lines and bleeding the system, quoted at $9,072.34. The vehicle has about 78,000 miles, was dealer-serviced regularly, and passed a pre-sale inspection about four months ago with no problems noted. I'm concerned this is a safety issue. A "Stop Engine" warning while driving is alarming, and a loss of hydraulic fluid can cause the ACE pump to fail. Past Land Rover recalls on ACE hydraulic leaks warned that pump failure can throw the drive belt and cause a loss of power steering and engine cooling. I'm reporting this so NHTSA can review whether similar failures are occurring on 2013-2022 Range Rover
While driving at approximately 15 mph, the vehicle experienced transmission slipping, shuddering, and loss of forward motive power. The vehicle was brought to Certified Transmissions in Prescott, AZ (RO #1053874) at 96,031 miles. Diagnostic fluid inspection and transmission assembly teardown at Certified Transmissions (RO #1053874) confirmed severely degraded black fluid with sludge, metallic flakes, a large metal sliver in the filter, and damaged D and E clutch hub splines. A full custom rebuild was required...

($10,279.62). The vehicle was maintained per manufacturer guidelines, but Ram's owner manual lists no normal-duty transmission fluid service interval, leading to unprevented fluid degradation and premature internal component failure under standard commute driving. A formal grievance was logged with Ram Customer Care under Case #98584060. There was no crash, fire, injury, or property damage.
A groaning noise was noticed in the steering a week prior to taking it to the Ford dealer for unrelated reasons. The noise existed on pavement, dirt, stationary or moving. While the dealer was working on it, the steering gear locked and eliminated the steering function. Thankfully, it did it to the tech while driving in the lot. The dealer confirmed that it needs a new steering rack. There are no messages or warnings indicating the loss of steering. The vehicle has 63,000 miles on it. If it had done that on the road, at speed, it would be life threatening.
Sunroof exploded while driving. Glass shards were pointed upwards indicating that it exploded from inside of the vehicle possibly due to friction or weak bonding covered under the effective recall.
Engine catastrophically failed at 88k with 1000 miles still on oil change , no engine warning lights , nothing, just driving normally and heard a boom and then all warning lights and in limp mode. Had towed to dealership and they said I needed a new engine. L87 falls short of recall window by 5 months and they want 13k to replace motor and Gm will not replace on goodwill even though my vin is under investigation to add to recall via nhtsa case # EA26005. I have all service records and bought truck brand new from gmc.
UPDATE to previously filed complaint 11761773 regarding recall 26V229 (fuel crossover pipe). My 2021 GV80 is subject to this recall. The nearest dealer able to perform the remedy was a long distance away, so I had the vehicle transported by a carrier to the dealer at a cost of $769. Genesis Consumer Affairs first said in writing in August that a one-way tow/transport reimbursement would be reviewed, and a Genesis representative on Oct 28 said they requested the special tow. On Oct 29 that was reversed, and on Nov...

10 Genesis flatly denied any tow/transport reimbursement, offering only to review rental costs up to $60/day. The recall notice states Genesis will reimburse out-of-pocket expenses incurred to obtain the remedy in accordance with the reimbursement plan submitted to NHTSA on March 2, 2026. I have repeatedly asked Genesis for a copy of that plan and have not received it. I request that NHTSA (1) review whether denying reimbursement of transport costs necessary to obtain the free recall remedy is consistent with the manufacturer's reimbursement plan and obligations, and (2) obtain the plan from Genesis. The vehicle has not been repaired at the time of this report.
I was driving with my girlfriend. We were going to a place just outside of town. We heard a loud explosion. I thought my rear window had shattered at first. I looked back and saw that it was intact. I looked up and pulled the panel covering my sunroof back just a little bit. I saw that it was shattered. I closed the panel because I didn't want the shattered glass to fall on us. It happened suddenly and out of nowhere. It could have fallen on us if I had the panel open and the sunroof open. As I drove still in shock as to what happened the shattered glass flew back into the vehicles behind me.
My 2022 GMC Sierra 1500 5.3L experienced a sudden non-start/stalling failure due to the Fuel Pump Power Control Module (confirmed by diagnostictest), matching Recall N262558690-01, but my VIN was excluded, as said by GM Corporate and local dealerships.
So I dont know what happened fully but when I was driving down the road I suddenly started losing power and the battery started draining so I replaced the battery 5 times, the alternator replaced once and the PCM relay and im still having the same issue over and over again to where I can only drive the jeep less than a mile before that battery lights comes on as well as the other lights on the dashboard. While the jeep was off and the key out of the ignition the lights on the dashboard started flashing and I still heard a ding noise.
Component: regenerative braking / brake control (IEB/ESC) and/or VCU software. Vehicle is at Planet Hyundai in CO, available for inspection. Problem: Driving downhill and entering a turn while slowing on regen (foot off accelerator), the car suddenly stops decelerating and surges forward for about [1-2] seconds, then regen resumes. Friction brakes do not engage to make up for the lost braking. It has happened repeatedly at about 40-50 mph on mountain roads near [[redacted]]. I have tried all regen settings. ...

Safety risk: Braking is lost and the car gains speed mid-turn on steep mountain roads with drop-offs and oncoming traffic. The driver has to brake hard mid-corner, risking running wide into the oncoming lane or off the road. No crash or injury so far. Dealer confirmation: At the dealer since about May 2026, more than 180 days out of service. The dealer reports spending over $20,000 on diagnosis with no cause found or fix made. The dealer blamed the tires, which has been ruled out: it happened on two tire sets, including new Michelin X-Ice, and OEM tires. Dealer reproduced it: YES. The dealer also reports a second vehicle, a 2025 Ioniq 5 SEL AWD, with the same symptom. Inspections: Dealer and Hyundai Motor America. Hyundai has offered to repurchase the vehicle. No police or insurance inspection. Warnings: None. No warning lamp or message before or during the events. First noticed around December 2025 at about 200 miles. Best assessment: The brake/stability control briefly cuts regen when cornering downhill (possibly on detecting wheel slip) without filling in with the friction brakes, so the car speeds up under gravity. Likely a software/calibration defect, since it happens across tire sets and on a second 2025 AWD trim. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)
1. Rear right side turn signal, running lights and brake light module failed. Dealer will not warranty replacement module. The replacement is over $300.00. Warning light first appeared saying blinker failed, hours later entire module failed. This poses a danger due to no rear blinkers or running lights. Other drivers may fail to see vehicle turning or driving. These are known issues that the dealers and manufacturer fail to accept and deny warranty safety items. 2. Both the rear left and right housings allowed water intruction from day 1. Dealers classified the water issue as condensation and said it is harmless. I still have the original failed module.
While driving neighborhood streets or city streets, the steering wheel will lock up completely and you can't turn it. You have to stop the car right where you are turn it off wait a few seconds and then turn it back on before you can move the steering wheel.
Truck was in park and door was open all of a sudden I heard a click and it torqued backward hitting trees shrubs and knocking me down it went into the ditch and still continued to rev itself
My 2018 Mazda CX-5 Grand Touring experienced a substantial engine oil leak, visible smoke, and a strong burning-oil odor in October 2026, at approximately 87,000-89,000 miles. The symptoms developed after an October 19 routine oil change. I became stranded at a gas station, and the vehicle required towing. An independent repair facility inspected the vehicle and suspected a cracked cylinder head. The vehicle was subsequently inspected by an authorized Mazda dealership, which identified oil leakage between the...

exhaust manifold and cylinder head and recommended replacement of the cylinder-head assembly. This failure presents a potential fire hazard because engine oil leaking near hot exhaust components may ignite. Significant oil loss could also cause engine seizure or unexpected loss of propulsion during operation, placing occupants and other motorists at risk. In August 2025, more than a year before this incident, I reported an abnormal clicking noise while the engine was idling to the same authorized Mazda dealership. I was advised that the noise was normal. Whether this earlier symptom was related to the subsequent failure remains undetermined. Mazda has published technical service guidance, including SA-058/20 and SA-031/21, concerning cylinder-head replacement assemblies for certain vehicles equipped with 2.5-liter engines and cylinder deactivation. I am concerned that my vehicle may have experienced a similar premature failure. The precise cause has not yet been independently established. The manufacturer authorized diagnostic inspection and teardown but declined financial assistance for the recommended repair. I have requested preservation of the failed components, photographs, and diagnostic records. Their availability for independent inspection remains unconfirmed. I request that NHTSA investigate whether this failure represents a broader safety-related defect affecting similar Mazda vehicles.
[redacted] my car start stalling and loosing power while driving in traffic. And moments later the engine light came on. Im [[redacted]] pregnant and my two toddlers were in the car both scared. This is the second time something like this related to the engine has happened with this car. This has become extremely unsafe and in my honest opinion this is not a safe car and no one should be driving it. Someone could have hit me when my car started losing power. That is beyond scary. I took the car to the dealer and...
