material to separate. Additionally, there was a significant lack of adhesive to attach the material to the wood. The sections were very large and could have separated from the RV, flown behind and become a safety hazard to the driver's behind the vehicle. Online searches have yielded a consistent pattern of poor adhesion or improper installation of the roofing materials. The manufacturer is known to disregard roof issues as they sight their "90 day roof inspection" requirement. Grand Design had been contacted reharding this issues and has denied accountability for the improper installation, assigning the blame on the owner as though the owners should be fully educated on what to look for when inspecting their own rv roof. Given that the damage occurred in a single transport of the vehicle, no warning signs or indications were present to alert of a potential issue. I plan to take the RV to a dealer, however the dealer recommended that the manufacturer be contacted and also provided instruction to temporarily mitgate the potential hazards. The wait time to have the vehicle inspected by a dealer is relatively extensive but definitely part of the process for this issue. The attached photos show the pieces laid back in place, however they are not attached in any way and flop easily with even a light breeze, let alone at highway speeds.

that you could feel and then the motor would simply rev indefinitely as if the transmission had switched to neutral. It's very dangerous losing power on a freeway with traffic including semi trucks and towing a boat. It got to the point where it would be very jerky just driving, particularly (it seemed to me) when the car had been sitting. This has happened several times. I did some research and found there were 4 TSB's for this issue and is an issue for all of the Ford 10 speed transmissions for Expedition, F150 and even the Mustang. I reached out to the dealer with these TSB's and they diagnosed that our car did have this troubled transmission and we did have the faulty parts. The dealer has charged us $7,575.35 to 'Repair" this. I think this warrants a recall due to the faulty parts in the transmission. It's very dangerous losing power and torque in a vehicle particularly when towing. Please review the attached pictures (notice the milage from our initial indications there was trouble with the powertrain). This got progressively worse just prior to us taking the car to the dealer. I would say it was at it's worst from December 2024 through our repair at the delaer in June 2026, but there were other random occurences prior to that and of course the very begining as seen in the attached photos.

driver's-side suspension and found substantial corrosion and rust scaling on the remaining leaf-spring assembly and associated suspension hardware. The trailer has not been subjected to road-salt use that would reasonably explain the amount of corrosion observed. The intact driver's-side spring measures approximately 26-1/4 inches from mounting bolt to mounting bolt while the trailer is loaded. The trailer has a single Dexter D40 axle rated at 4,000 lbs. The trailer GVWR is also 4,000 lbs. I have photographs documenting the broken passenger-side spring, the fracture area, corrosion and scaling on the opposite suspension, spring dimensions, spring thickness, U-bolts and associated suspension hardware. The trailer was purchased new in [redacted]. Considering the age of the trailer, the failure of a critical suspension component, and the condition observed on the opposite side, I am concerned that there may be a premature suspension component, material, manufacturing or corrosion-protection issue. I have contacted Sunset Park RV and requested that the manufacturer investigate the failure and identify the original suspension components and specifications. I am retaining the failed spring and related components so they can be inspected if requested. We are preparing for a long winter trip in a few weeks, but we will not use the trailer for that trip until the suspension has been properly inspected and repaired. I am asking NHTSA to document and evaluate this i INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)

pedals seem off until turning the engine off and on again. Concerned about brakes failing. When brought to dealership, warning lights had all turned off and dealership found nothing wrong with car.

Safety Incident I am reporting a serious and potentially life-threatening vehicle safety malfunction involving my 2020 Honda Clarity Plug-In Hybrid, which experienced sudden, unintended, violent braking and a subsequent severe loss of propulsion while traveling on a public roadway. The incident occurred approximately five minutes after I picked up my vehicle from DCH Paramus Honda, an authorized Honda dealership, following a warranty-covered replacement of the air-conditioning condenser. The vehicle had approximately 35,000 miles and was operating normally before this repair. While driving home to [[redacted]], at the intersection of [[redacted]], my vehicle suddenly and unexpectedly began violently jerking and bucking, with the wheels seemingly locking, before coming to an abrupt stop. **There was no vehicle, pedestrian, or other obstacle directly ahead of my car. The roadway was clear, and there was no apparent reason for emergency braking.** I did not intentionally activate the emergency parking brake or initiate an emergency stop. Immediately following this event, numerous dashboard warning indicators illuminated, including the following specific messages: - **Collision Mitigation Braking System Problem** - **Power System Problem** The vehicle was initially unable to function normally. After restarting it, the car operated only at severely reduced power, with a m INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)

the vehicle was not ready to drive until I pressed the brake and pressed the Start button. After restarting the vehicle, the warnings disappeared and the vehicle appeared to return to normal operation. I am concerned that an unexpected engine shutdown could create a serious safety hazard, particularly in traffic or at an intersection, where the vehicle could lose power unexpectedly and potentially leave me unable to accelerate when needed. I am also concerned about whether the issue could recur while the vehicle is moving or in an unsafe location. The vehicle has approximately 73,000 miles. This is the first time I have personally experienced this issue. I purchased the vehicle in [[redacted]] and subsequently drove it to [[redacted]]. This was one of the first times I had used the windshield wipers extensively since purchasing the vehicle, due to the heavy rain. The vehicle is equipped with an automatic Stop & Start system. The problem has not yet been reproduced or checked by a dealership or independent repair facility. To my knowledge, the vehicle has not yet been inspected by the manufacturer, a dealership, police, or insurance representatives in connection with this incident. The vehicle appeared to operate normally after restarting, but the cause of the shutdown has not been determined. The first symptoms occurred at the time of the incident. I am concerned about the safety implications of an unexpected engine shutdown. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)

stalled in the middle of a busy road. The sudden loss of power created an immediate and dangerous situation, as surrounding drivers had to brake abruptly and maneuver around my stopped vehicle to avoid a collision. I was unable to move the vehicle out of traffic until I could get it restarted. This malfunction placed me and other motorists at significant risk of a serious accident. The vehicle's unexpected loss of power in active traffic, combined with multiple electronic and driver-assistance system warnings, raised serious concerns about its safety and reliability. I brought the vehicle to an authorized Volkswagen dealership, where it remained for approximately 12-13 days. Volkswagen of America became involved because the dealership had difficulty diagnosing and resolving the problems. Multiple components were replaced, including fuel-system components, a front camera sensor, and the main OCU module. The repairs were performed under warranty. I am concerned that these unexpected malfunctions presented a significant safety hazard and could have resulted in a serious collision, particularly because the vehicle stalled without warning during heavy traffic.

Fortunately we had a fire extinguisher and extinguished the flames quite quickly. We were towed off the highway and our insurance then towed us home. On inspection it was determined that the transfer case (PTU) had failed causing a catastrophic failure and a fluid thermal event caused by pressurized, superheated oil directly spraying onto the scorching exhaust pipe sitting right behind the engine block, triggering the immediate underhood fire. There were no warning lights on the dashboard and the car had been meticulously maintained. As serious PTU failures are common in 2015 Jeep Cherokees, I reported this immediately to Jeep, they sent a technician to inspect and he confirmed that the transfer case had failed, causing a fluid leak ignited by the hot exhaust. There are no recalls attached to my VIN and I am fighting with Jeep/Stellantis for a repair since this is a known and acknowledged issue across this model. I had the vehicle towed to the Jeep dealership on instruction of the Jeep call center and am waiting for Jeep to inform the dealer what to do. The dealer is angry to receive my damaged car and hold it. I am extremely angry with the lack of clarity from Jeep on next steps. We could have been seriously injured / died in this incident, if there was a car behind us when this failure occurred it would have hit us.
