The Steering binds/ sticks at the 12 o'clock position on the highway, requiring sudden extra physical force to break free, which causes the vehicle to oversteer left to right. For record, Auffenberg Kia verified a steering torque measurement of 7.3 Nm (failure limit: 4.5 Nm) per TSB CHA060, but denied warranty repair under WTY023 solely because the instrument cluster lamp was not illuminated. I paid $163.69 and the dealer released an unsafe car back to me.
Upon starting vehicle, the instrumentation cluster has lost all power. There was a recall for this issue prior and jeep is stating that my vehicle was not part of the recall.
2024 VW Tiguan MIB3 module failed; dealership attempted software flash which completely disabled the federally mandated rear-view backup camera. Part is on national backorder with no ETA and VW Corporate refused assistance.
The contact owns a 2021 Ford Bronco Sport. The contact received notification of NHTSA Campaign Number: 25V467000 (Fuel System, Gasoline); however, the part to do the recall repair was not yet available.

there was no open recall on the VIN. The vehicle was no longer driven due to the safety issue. The contact stated that the manufacturer had exceeded a reasonable amount of time for the recall repair.

The car stalls at low speeds causing a safety concern for me and my kid. Reading in the VW Atlas Forum, this could be caused by a failed vapor (or carbon) canister. VW has not issued a recall on this as far as I know. This happens randomly. When this happens, the check engine light comes out.
Saturday night, [[redacted]], my family went out to dinner and took my elderly father ([[redacted]]), who sits in the front seat when we go out together. Upon returning to his home, he got out, and we drove back to our home, approximately 2 minutes away. My husband parked the car, turned off the engine and while we were exiting the vehicle, the now empty passenger seat headrest popped open with a loud bang. Had my father still been sitting there, he would have been injured. I contacted customer care this morning...

with my concerns and was told that although they are aware of the problem, there was nothing they could do about the repair as the extended warranty period had ended. I had no notification of such an issue or related warranty as I purchased the vehicle in July of 2022. The warranty period was still active at the time of purchase. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)
The built-in GPS navigation system on my 2023 Volkswagen ID.4 is experiencing a severe location drift defect, causing the vehicle's onboard map to show the car miles away from its actual physical location. This is an active safety hazard. In the event of a severe accident, the vehicle's automated emergency services (eCall/SOS/Car-Net) rely on this built-in GPS module to transmit coordinates to first responders. Because the system is reporting completely inaccurate location data, emergency personnel would be dispatched to the wrong coordinates during an accident, causing catastrophic delays in life-saving medical response.
The dashboard cover has separated from the dash just under thr windshield close to the bottom of the windshield but just in front of the air vent. The separation has caused the covering to draw up exposing white insulation foam underneath to cause a glare on the windshield that creates a visibility issue during the day. I have received repair estimates in the $3,000.00 Range but after researching this it seems this is an often reported issue that I believe ford should address. There was no warning as one day I noticed the glare and realized what happened.
I am reporting a serious safety concern involving our 2020 Ram 1500 Rebel. The vehicle has experienced repeated incidents of unintended acceleration, where it accelerates without the driver pressing the accelerator pedal. This problem has occurred on multiple occasions and presents a significant risk to the driver, passengers, and other motorists. The vehicle previously displayed diagnostic trouble code P2138, which relates to the accelerator pedal position sensor circuits. We are concerned that this may indicate...

a malfunction involving the electronic throttle control or accelerator pedal system, although the exact cause has not been confirmed. The issue has now occurred again, raising serious concerns about the vehicle's safety and the potential for an accident. We believe this dangerous and recurring condition warrants investigation by NHTSA. We are requesting that this complaint be documented and investigated to determine whether a safety-related defect exists.
While driving and coming to a stop, the engine shuts down and will not restart. Error "To continue to drive, depress brake pedal and push Switch". After 10 minutes of trying to start the car it finally started.
This is the platinum model, with the leather Dash. The dash is separating in two pieces, and the leather is curling up. This is all the way across the dash from the driver side, to the passenger side. It is in my line of vision, to where it is not safe to see the road. I believe this is from the sun.
Engine oil specification and quantity is not provided. New vehicles did not come with a printed owners manual, and the online manual (July 2026 and Jan 2027 versions) do not specify what oil type to put in the vehicle. It is nowhere to be found in the owners documentation - at risk of putting the wrong oil in.
While driving, my vehicle experienced a severe and sudden failure of the Aisin UA80F 8-speed automatic transmission. The transmission exhibits erratic and hard shifting, severe hesitation, and a dangerous delay in acceleration when trying to merge into traffic or accelerate from a complete stop. Frequently, the engine revs high, but the transmission fails to engage the gear promptly, resulting in a sudden, violent lurch forward when it finally catches. Furthermore, the vehicle intermittently loses motive power...

entirely while in motion, forcing me to coast to the side of the road. A loud, high-pitched whining noise is audible from the transmission assembly, and diagnostic checks indicate internal mechanical overheating and premature component wear.
The contact owns a 2025 Nissan Rogue. The contact stated that after driving to work and parking the vehicle, several hours later, the contact entered the vehicle, closed the door, and heard a glass shattering sound coming from the rear of the vehicle. The contact inspected the vehicle and discovered that the rear hatch glass had shattered. The contact later obtained video footage showing that the rear hatch glass had shattered without impact. The local dealer and manufacturer were notified of the failure. The failure mileage was 27,000.
2020 Chevrolet Colorado 2.5L, approximately 81,500 miles. I experienced a sudden loss of power brake assist. There was no warning noise associated with the failure; the brake pedal became extremely hard and required substantially greater pedal pressure to stop the vehicle. The vehicle was inspected by an independent professional mechanic. Inspection found that the brake booster vacuum pump itself was not the primary source of the failure. The failure was at the engine exhaust camshaft interface that...

mechanically drives the vacuum pump. The camshaft drive was damaged and no longer properly operated the vacuum pump, resulting in loss of brake vacuum assist. This is not normal brake-pad or rotor wear. The hydraulic brakes remained functional, but without the vacuum assist the pedal effort increased dramatically, creating a significant braking safety concern. The vehicle has been removed from normal use pending repair. I am reporting this because failure of an engine component that drives the brake vacuum pump can cause sudden loss of power brake assist.
The contact owns a 2020 Ford Explorer. The contact received notification of NHTSA Campaign Number: 26V402000 (POWER TRAIN); however, the part to do the recall repair was unavailable. The local dealer was contacted, and it was confirmed that the part was not yet available. The contact stated that the manufacturer had exceeded a reasonable amount of time for the recall repair. The manufacturer was made aware of the issue. The contact had experienced the failure listed in the recall. The failure mileage was 60,000.
The failed component is the high-pressure fuel pump, which the dealer confirmed failed and contaminated the fuel system. I do not know whether the failed pump will be available for inspection, since the dealer is replacing it. The engine stalled while I was driving on [road type, e.g., a highway] with my family [in the vehicle / traveling with me] and would not restart, which put us at risk of losing power in traffic. The dealer confirmed the failure and opened the recall repair. To my knowledge, the manufacturer...

has not inspected the truck. The red throttle warning light came on and the truck stored a P016F fuel pressure code at the time of the failure. A MAP sensor code had appeared earlier and cleared, but I'm not aware of other warning signs before the failure.
There was a Recall C4B/NHTSA 24V-896 on my 2018 Ram 3500 truck back in 2024. The part HCU/ABS unit that was recalled went out on my truck on or about 6/23/2025. Went to dealership on 6/25/2025 they told me that they have an old model part NOT the new updated recall part in stock. Due to safety concerns, I agreed for them to fix my truck, and they explained to me that FCA US LLC would reimburse me the cost, which I did receive the cost back. I have on many different occasions emailed them through their web site...

asking to be notified about the replacement part for my truck, when available. I have never received any notice until 10/19/2026 stating that my truck has been fixed as of 9/28/2026 and there was nothing else I needed to do. After first call with FCA recall center, they said that my truck was fixed according to their service records. I told them that the new replacement part was never installed and that someone made an error on their end. After talking with them I told them I wanted this escalated to someone higher up. A supervisor called me today 10/21/2026 and basically said the same thing that according to their system, part was fixed. The invoice that I submitted to them for the reimbursement says that the recalled NEW replacement part was not available on 6/25/2025. I have all the documents needed to prove that the parts were never changed with the updated part. I asked them to show me documentation on what dealership said my part was fixed, they said I would have to talk to my dealership, so I did twice with Opelika Ram dealership and they have no record other than the old part being put on 6/25/2025. FCA recall center refused to give me any document or tell me who closed out this recall C4B/NHTSA 24V-896. They however said that they would give me a 2-year warranty on the old part starting on 9/28/2026; it took 7 years for the original part to go bad. My truck is still a safety concern because this Hydraulic Control Unit /ABS can go out at any time.
