The dealership network has already made two (2) separate, unscheduled service attempts to diagnose and fix this ongoing battery drainage issue: 1.First Repair Attempt: July 9, 2026, at McDaniels Subaru of Columbia, Mileage: 2356. Vehicle would not start. When start button was pushed dash lights would flicker on but would not turn over engine. Not being that familiar with the electronics of the vehicle I thought it may be that my wife had somehow disabled the vehicle by trying to get the key fob to work. Lights...

on the dash indicated the key fob was "disabled" . (The "disabled key fob" warning light can indicate a dead battery). I left vehicle, returned with the spare key fob, but still same result until I was able to get a "jump". Vehicle seemed OK then. At home I charged battery and my charger said it was "fully charged". Result: Technician apparently only tested the key fob, even though the repair order states the battery was tested. Nothing was found by the technician that would indicate why vehicle would not start or that battery was drained. (The "disabled key fob" warning light can indicate a dead battery) 2.Second Repair Attempt: Result: : October 5, 2026, at McDaniels Subaru of Columbia, Mileage: 3243 Vehicle would not start in garage at home. Sent various videos to dealer service department of how the vehicle was not starting. Dealer technician advised it appeared to be a dead battery. I made an appointment for the following Monday. I also charged the dead battery. My charger indicated a "bad battery". 3. Result: Factory battery replaced. I asked for a replacement battery at the time of appointment. I asked for an AGM battery to better withstand the severe drain on the battery from the ignition/starting system but was promptly refused. Despite these efforts, the issue persists. Research and expert dealer consultation indicate that the factory battery is fundamentally underpowered for the technical start-stop and electronic load demand

I am reporting three safety-related incidents involving a 2023 GMC Acadia SLE purchased [redacted]. 1. [redacted] - Washer Pump: Since purchase, the windshield washer pump activated but no fluid sprayed. The issue was reported at purchase.

light. It could only travel about 25 mph and had to be towed to a dealership. Warranty records list a camshaft position actuator repair costing $516.36. 3. [redacted] - Unexpected Shutdown: While driving toward [[redacted]], the vehicle shut off without warning at a traffic light. Multiple warning lights illuminated, and the emergency parking brake activated. The driver disengaged the brake and moved the vehicle to a nearby parking lot. These separate incidents raise serious concerns about the vehicle's safety and reliability, including potential fire risk, loss of power, and unexpected shutdown while driving. The vehicle had approximately 47,490 miles at purchase and now has approximately 79,000 miles. I request that NHTSA document these incidents and determine whether they indicate a potential safety defect or warrant further investigation. Complete diagnostic reports and repair orders are not currently available. I can provide additional information if needed. The repeated failures create concerns about the vehicle's ability to operate safely and reliably. An unexpected shutdown in traffic could cause a collision or leave the vehicle in a dangerous position. I request that these incidents be considered together when evaluating whether further investigation is warranted.These incidents occurred on separate dates and involved different vehicle systems. I am concerned that additional failures could occur without warning. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)
The exterior handle on the driver's door of my 2024 Volkswagen ID.4 has failed. I live in [[redacted]]. And on the first day of rain this season, it stopped opening the door from the outside completely. The other doors work normally. I have to enter through the passenger door and open the driver's door from inside. The failure started when it rained, so water likely got into the handle electronics. This looks like the same problem covered by Volkswagen recall 57J9, which included 2024 ID.4 models. Either the...

I was driving my kids to school in my 2014 Nissan Armada when I suddenly started feeling lightheaded and dizzy out of nowhere. I realized something was terribly wrong and immediately rolled all the windows down. Thank God I did. When I got home, I opened the hood and looked underneath the truck to see if exhaust was leaking. I sprayed soapy water on the visible seams of the exhaust manifold and catalytic converter, turned the truck back on, and saw air bubbles immediately forming right around the welded areas. I...

recorded the whole thing on video as proof. The Big Issue: HOW are these exhaust fumes able to get inside the cabin with me and my kids?! I didn't get a single warning light on my dashboard - NOTHING! I've owned other vehicles with catalytic converter issues before and exhaust fumes NEVER came inside the vehicle like this. The cracked weld on the manifold is leaking fumes right into the engine bay, and the AC/heater vents at the windshield are sucking those toxic fumes straight into my vehicle! Safety Concern: This is a massive safety hazard. Carbon monoxide in the cabin can kill someone or make a driver pass out at the wheel. I am getting my Armada professionally inspected and fixed, but I am reporting this because Nissan needs to warn parents and drivers about this issue before somebody dies!
The vehicle is a 2022 Ford Bronco two-door with a hardtop roof that was previously replaced under a recall due to a defected hardtop roof. After the replacement, I notice stress cracks and delamination around the rear side windows on both sides of the vehicle, including the top and bottom corners, with visible bubbling and separation of the roof material near those window edges. In addition, while driving, there is increased wind noise coming from the roof area, particularly around the T-top panels, which suggests...

they may not be sealing properly to the main roof. This appears to affect the integrity of the roof system and could be a safety concern if it worsens. I am not aware of a current recall number for this issue. The problem has not yet been confirmed by a dealer or service center. There were no warning messages before it was discovered. The component should be available for inspection if needed.

I am experiencing a fuel smell in my vehicle when I cold start it in the morning. I took it to the dealership and they could not identify the smell but claimed that if I call Ford customer service they might be able to escalate the issue. Ford customer service just said there is nothing they can do until the recall Campaign 25S76 is done but it is currently on pause even though it was issued 7/16/25 and it is currently 10/23/26. I said that these is a safety issue since Ford has identified that it can lead to the...

engine igniting which has happened to 8 vehicles according to Ford. They said they recommend waiting for the recall to happen despite my safety concerns on a known flaw with the vehicle. No resolution or any type of compromise provided even though I can identify the fuel smell that they say is a sign of the fuel injector issue that should be fixed under customer satisfaction program Campaign: 22N18
What component or system failed or malfunctioned, and is it available for inspection upon request? The fuel/emissions system failed due to a defective carbon canister, which was covered under an active Volkswagen factory extended warranty. The vehicle has since been repaired, so the original defective part was retained by the replacing dealer and is likely unavailable for independent inspection. How was your safety or the safety of others put at risk? The vehicle experienced sudden, intermittent engine stalling...

while being operated on public roadways. This created an immediate safety hazard, leaving me vulnerable to rear-end collisions and loss of vehicle control in active traffic. Has the problem been reproduced or confirmed by a dealer or independent service center? Yes. While the original dealer (Volkswagen of North Tampa) completely failed to inspect the part on 9/1/2026 and misdiagnosed the vehicle, a second authorized Volkswagen service center successfully reproduced, confirmed, and diagnosed the defective carbon canister on 9/22/2026. The original dealer also later admitted in writing via email that they "missed the carbon canister issue." Has the vehicle or component been inspected by the manufacturer, police, insurance representatives or others? The vehicle and the failed component were inspected and verified by a certified manufacturer technician at the second authorized Volkswagen dealership service center during the repair on 9/22/2026. No police or insurance representatives were involved as no crash occurred. Were there any warning lamps, messages or other symptoms of the problem prior to the failure, and when did they first appear? The primary symptom was sudden, unpredictable engine stalling. These symptoms first appeared approximately two months prior to my first service appointment on September 1, 2026. There were no specific dashboard warning lamps or error messages that predicted the sudden stalling events.
