2020 Nissan KicksDriver assistance

When driving, if the wind blows or we hit a small bump in the road, the traction control light will flash & and the car will completely lose the ability to accelerate. Then, the car will have to come to a complete stop to regain acceleration. We have taken the car to Nissan at least 5 times, and they only suggested replacing the front sensors on the car as well as the front guard. We did. This did not fix the issue. We then took it to a local mechanic. They suggested replacing the alternator because it wasn't getting enough power to the battery. We did. This did not fix the issue. We have now spent 4k and the car is still randomly losing acceleration during normal driving.

2026 Subaru Outback WildernessOther & unknown

Just bought a 2026 Subaru forester on August 30, 2026. It was a floor model. Never used the moonroof or opened the sliding cover except for day 1 when showing my kids, and second time was today, October 23rd. Noticed a big hairline crack. I can feel like crack from the outside, but not from the inside. The line is fine and thin starting from the front edge to 2/3 of the glass. Found out there's a recall on this problem, but my vin # is not part of it. Online images confirm other people's cracked moonroof on their 2026 forester look the same. Wondering why my vin doesn't confirm. Will be calling service dept.

2022 KTM 690 SMC RBody, doors & structureFuel system

Fuel tank is swollen due to the 10% ethanol in our fuel. Swollen tank is causing seat to unlatch while riding, side panels are no longer able to be properly installed, and the fuel tank is now very close to the exhaust pipe due to the tank being bloated, this has been an ongoing issue for 2+ years that has gotten worse every year, its a safety concern at this point and the bike has under 1200 miles on it. The seat in the pictures is an oem seat base with an aftermarket cover, but has the same issue with both the oem seat, recovered seat, and ktm power parts seat. Please reach out via email as I rarely get phone calls due to poor reception at my place of employment

2020 Ford EdgeTransmission & drivetrain

My transmission needs replacing. My car is jerky when it shifts, does not accelerate smoothly, and puts me in danger on the highway/freeway when trying to accelerate as sometimes it won't and stalls for a moment before getting going. There are currently 100 on back order which clearly means there is an issue with this specific transmission and I'm not the only person with this problem. The car is only six years old and this should not be happening to a vehicle that is otherwise well maintained.

2020 Ford EscapeVisibility & wipers

The fabric liner at the top of the car that is a sun block for the moon roof has come loose multiple times on both sides and it seems that the piece that should retract and keep tension on the cloth so that it properly feeds into the head liner is malfunctioning. The dealership has attempted to fix it multiple times and it continues to come loose and is now out of warranty. It hangs down when attempting to open the roof and blocks the rear view for the driver which is a huge safety concern.

2022 Tesla Model 3Driver assistance

There are hundreds of reports regarding Tesla HW3 computers overheating following the software update to Full Self-Driving (FSD) Lite V14. On 19 SEP 2026, I was required to replace the HW3 computer on my 2022 Model 3 Performance; the total price was approximately ($2,700.00). As the computer was perpetually stuck in a reboot status, the car's safety and security systems weren't functioning properly (e.g. forward collision assist, lane-keeping assist, cameras, Sentry Mode, etc.). Additionally, while parked...

overnight, the car drained 2-3 times more power as the computer remained stuck in the reboot loop. The computer clearly failed following a software update that increased the performance outside of the design tolerances. However, because my vehicle was out off warranty (both years and mileage), Tesla required me to pay out of pocket for the repair as it was deemed to be normal wear & tear. Of note, we bought the vehicle brand new in June 2022 and it had 62,652 miles at the time that the computer was replaced; Tesla's New Vehicle Limited Warranty is 4 years / 50K miles. I, like many other owners across multiple forums, believe that Tesla needs to take accountability for this failure and reimburse the owners who lost critical safety capabilities as a result of a poorly designed software update that was rushed through production. Additionally, leading up to the failure, I had not used FSD for more than a one month trial period, but I did regularly use Autopilot. Also, Tesla replaced the failed HW3 computer with another HW3 computer, which has me stressed that this issue is likely to happen again in the near future.

2025 Chevrolet EquinoxOther & unknown

My 2025 Chevrolet Equinox EV has a recurring rodent intrusion problem in the HVAC system. I first noticed a persistent foul odor from the vents. When I inspected the cabin air filter, I found evidence of mice. I replaced the filter, but the odor continued, and I later found fresh mouse droppings on the new filter. Live mice were also found in the system, and the HVAC blower fan has since become very noisy. A service technician at CARR Cheverolet in Oregon told me this is a known issue with this vehicle: the cabin...

Read the full complaint

air intake has no screen or mesh, which lets rodents reach the cabin air filter and HVAC housing. If accurate, this suggests a design issue that may affect other Equinox EV owners, not an isolated event. This creates a health risk for vehicle occupants. Rodent droppings and urine can carry hantavirus and other pathogens, which can become airborne and be blown into the cabin when the HVAC fan runs. I regularly drive my three children in this vehicle. Avoiding the HVAC system is not a practical solution, since the defroster is needed for safe visibility. I am asking NHTSA to review whether the cabin air intake design on the Chevrolet Equinox EV allows rodent entry into the HVAC system, and whether other owners have reported the same problem.

My foot was completely on the brake pedal during a low-speed parking maneuver, and the vehicle, un-commanded, surged forward, causing the crash. The vehicle actively fought my braking. Also the crash assist did not engage nor stop the vehicle either , I was directly in front of the car I collided with.
