2023 Volkswagen TiguanOther & unknown

The F5 module has gone out on this vehicle after the most recent OTA update. Vehicle cameras, navigation system or any other infotainment systems do not work. I have taken this vehicle to a volkswagon dealer and am told since my car is no longer under warranty I will be responsible for the very costly replacement of this module. The replacement part has been on order since late September 2026 and the dealership cannot give me an eta for the part. In doing research this appears to be a worldwide issue with the replacement module on indefinite backorder. Not having cameras or a navigation system is big safety concern for me and my family.

2024 Tesla Model Y (all Variants)Other & unknown

While my Tesla was backing out of my driveway under Full Self-Driving, I saw people approaching and took over manual control. Immediately after I disengaged FSD, a touchscreen survey asking "Why did you intervene?" appeared and covered their representation in the high-fidelity proximity visualization. At the moment I took control because people were approaching, the survey obscured information about those people that I needed to monitor while maneuvering. My primary complaint is that a feedback request blocks...

safety-relevant proximity information immediately after the driver takes over, including while the vehicle is still moving. The survey also blocks media controls and other content on the left side of the screen. Regaining access requires dealing with the survey, creating an additional reason to look away from the road during the transition to manual driving. I am asking NHTSA to investigate this interface design. Tesla should keep the proximity visualization and controls unobstructed and defer the feedback survey until the vehicle is parked.

2018 Toyota CamryTransmission & drivetrain

Not sure if i'm reporting this correctly. my camry started making noise and it was a transmission issue. i went online and it seems to be a common complaint for 2018 and 2019 toyota camry's, when they reach approx 125k to 135 k. don't know if anything can be done but it would be nice to find out if this is more common then expected and corrections are being made. I even had a routine service i believe last month and all they indicated was it needed a transmission service. thanks

2024 Genesis GV80Electrical systemCrash

My car was originally parked outside the garage. I started the vehicle using the key fob. I began to press the remote smart parking assist button to back the car into the garage but the button was not working correctly and would not move the car. At that point, I went into the car and reversed it manually into the garage. I placed the car in "park" and exited the vehicle to check the position of the car. The position was off so I got back in the car and proceeded to move the car forward a couple of feet. I pressed...

for towing. The car was serviced but no identifiable cause of the error was found. My experience has undermined my confidence in the vehicle's safety and reliability. I am in the process of reversing the sale rather than continuing to own a vehicle that has experienced this problem. I am sharing this firsthand experience so prospective buyers can research this issue and ask specific questions about powertrain faults, software updates, service history, and available remedies before purchasing a GLE 450e. I hope Mercedes-Benz investigates these incidents thoroughly and provides owners with a clear explanation and a reliable resolution.

I waited about an hour and attempted to start the engine unsuccessfully once again, the same error displayed "NO KEY FOB present, please place the fob near the start button to engage the engine. I waited approximately 8 hours and was able to restart the engine with no error or issue.

2011 Jaguar XFFuel system

My 2011 Jaguar XF 5.0L V8 developed a serious fuel leak involving a cracked flange on top of the fuel tank. The problem initially presented as a strong raw gasoline odor around the vehicle, particularly after driving. The gasoline smell was noticeable near the rear of the vehicle, eventually became apparent around the entire exterior, and entered the passenger compartment through the air-conditioning vents. Initially, the odor was more noticeable when the fuel tank was full, but it later occurred even when the...

tank was approximately half full. An independent mechanic inspected the vehicle and identified a cracked flange on top of the fuel tank. The mechanic confirmed that gasoline was leaking from the cracked flange and showed me visible gasoline leakage underneath the vehicle. There was no check engine light or other warning indicating a fuel system malfunction. This condition presents a serious fire hazard because gasoline is escaping from the fuel system, and gasoline vapors can enter the passenger compartment. I am concerned about the safety of the driver, passengers, and others near the vehicle. The failure appears similar to the cracked fuel tank outlet flange condition described in Jaguar safety recall J027 (NHTSA recall 12V-521). On October 20, 2026, an authorized Jaguar dealership informed me in writing that the vehicle's VIN was not associated with any open safety campaigns. The dealership offered a paid diagnostic inspection but declined goodwill repair assistance. The dealership did not physically inspect the vehicle. I am requesting that NHTSA investigate this potentially related fuel system failure and determine whether the recall population should be reviewed. The vehicle has not been repaired and is currently being kept off the road because of the fire risk. I have obtained Jaguar Technical Bulletin J027NAS2, dated May 7, 2013, concerning Safety Recall J027 for a cracked fuel tank fuel outlet mounting flange. The bulletin identifies 2010-2012
