2021 Jeep Grand Cherokee L, VIN [[redacted]], about 90,000 miles. On [redacted], the Uconnect 5 center display went blank and has stayed blank, blinking on and off while driving. The rearview camera image displays through this screen, so when the screen is blank I have no backup camera image. This matches recall 25V083000 / 11C, a transistor that may overheat and prevent the rearview camera image from displaying. NHTSA showed no open recalls for my VIN, and a dealer told me my car is a WK, not a WL, which is incorrect - the Grand Cherokee L is a WL.

I have experienced four episodes of braking-related malfunctions in my 2025 Ford Bronco since September 2026. All four produced the same five dashboard warnings: "Hill Start Assist Warning," "Anti-Lock Brake Fault," "Pre-Collision Assist Not Available," "Electronic Parking Brake," and "Anti-Lock Brake System Fault." During the first episode, while reversing, the vehicle continued rolling backward despite my pressing the brake pedal and my vehicle rolled out into the street. I immediately pulled back into my...

driveway, put the truck in neutral and turned the engine off. I feared I might run into my garage. The vehicle was serviced September 25-October 1, 2026, at approximately 12,074 miles. The dealership found stored ABS trouble codes C0044:49, C1034:68, C2005:74, C2006:1D, and U3000:04. After testing and clearing the codes, the technician documented that the customer concern could not be duplicated and "no repair required at this time." However, the service advisor called to explain that replacing both rear wheel-speed sensors might correct the problem. Both sensors were replaced, and the vehicle was returned. Three more episodes occurred between October 25 and November 4, 2026. Each time, all five warnings appeared immediately at startup. Because of the first incident, I kept the vehicle in park, did not drive, and pressed the brake pedal while stationary; it did not feel or function normally. I shut the vehicle off, waited several minutes, and restarted it. The warnings then disappeared. I stopped driving the vehicle and had it towed to the dealership on November 9, 2026. A wiring-harness recall repair (26S55) was performed September 16, 2026; whether it is related is unknown. Ford Customer Relations has opened a case, and the dealership is investigating. I am concerned that this intermittent braking-related malfunction persists despite the initial repair and could recur while the vehicle is moving.
The crank shaft sensor has gone bad. There is a known recall on other vehicles and I believe mine should be included in this. It has rough idling, when driving it is hard to start and the engine light will flash. The acceleration is poor as well. This has caused slow downs randomly on the highway and to pull over when it is unsafe conditions for my family and I. This has been inspected by an mechanic, the oil housing and valve covers were all changed as well as the spark plugs last week. The misfiring and the rough...

idling as well as the acceleration happened today taking my kids to school. This vehicle should be included on the CDJR XD1 recall. This is also showing in my car overview online, but does not pull up when I called the dealership.
On November 9, 2026, while driving at approximately 40 MPH, the main center infotainment display completely blanked out and went entirely black. The screen remained completely dead for approximately 5 minutes while the vehicle was in motion. This creates an immediate safety hazard as it cuts off access to the backup camera, defroster/climate controls, and critical vehicle settings at road speeds. This vehicle is a 2021 VW ID.4 that previously had the 919A / NHTSA Recall 24V344000 patch performed (updating to...

firmware 3.5), but the remedy has proven completely ineffective as the defect persists. Prior to yesterday's event, both the digital instrument cluster (speedometer) and the infotainment screen had blanked out simultaneously while driving, even after the 3.5 firmware update was applied on an unknown date. Independent troubleshooting has been performed to isolate the issue, including verifying that the 12V auxiliary battery is at healthy operating voltage levels and performing resets by pulling the display fuses, but the problem continues. Volkswagen Customer Care and the local dealership are currently refusing to diagnose or remedy this recurring safety hazard without charge, claiming the recall is closed in their system and the car is out of warranty.
On November 9, 2026, our brand-new 2027 Grand Design Lineage LVT1 motorhome, purchased November 5, experienced a serious electrical safety incident while parked at our residence. The engine was idling, lithium battery system was enabled, and inverter was operating. Strong electrical/chemical fumes developed inside the motorhome, triggering the carbon monoxide alarm. Despite this, the electrical system continued operating. There was no observed automatic shutdown or inverter fault notification. We manually shut...

down the system, and an E33 error code appeared afterward. During subsequent telephone troubleshooting with a Grand Design representative, the problem occurred again. The representative identified the inverter as the suspected source. The exact cause remains undetermined. The incident exposed us to potentially hazardous fumes. Poison Control advised us to seek emergency medical evaluation. We are particularly concerned that occupants or pets left inside could have been exposed without anyone present to intervene, potentially resulting in serious injury or death. General RV subsequently suggested that the E33 code indicated the inverter's protective systems had shut it down. However, this contradicts our observations that the system remained operational until we manually intervened. No qualified technician has physically inspected the motorhome following the incident to our knowledge. We have requested a comprehensive inspection and preservation of the inverter, failed components, and diagnostic records. The motorhome remains available for inspection. No inverter warning or error message was observed before the initial failure. The first indications were the strong fumes and CO alarm activation. The E33 code was observed only after manual shutdown. We request NHTSA investigate this potential electrical safety defect, including the source of hazardous fumes and whether the inverter's protective systems operated as designed.
Sometimes - especially right after starting - the brakes feel spongy and unresponsive. Also, when slowing to low speeds, the vehicle has started jerking, as if it can't downshift properly. It feels like it stays in a higher gear at low speeds, causing it to jerk and almost stall. This could be particularly worrisome in busy parking lots.
I am writing to report a transmission issue with my 2019 Toyota sedan. The vehicle is producing a high-pitched noise from the transmission, identical to the issue described in Campaign J17. Although that recall was specified for hatchbacks, my sedan is experiencing the exact same problem. Currently, there are no open recalls listed for my specific VIN, and no warning lights have appeared on the dashboard. An independent service center inspected the vehicle and confirmed that internal transmission components...

(bearings or blades) are causing the noise. However, local dealerships have declined to inspect or assist because the issue is not officially listed under the recall for my body style. Since the manufacturer has not yet inspected this vehicle, I request that this issue be reviewed for potential coverage or extended assistance. Please let me know how we can proceed with having my vehicle officially evaluated.
The chrome plating had peeled near the cup holders. It is available for inspection, I also have pictures. My daughter sliced open her right thumb, requiring an ER visit, X-Ray to check for damage and glue/steri-strips, resulting in medical bills that could've been prevented. This caused trauma for my other two children who witnessed the laceration. The chrome is a recalled item with no current remedy or way to be fixed at this time.
I own a 2017 Kia Soul with the 1.6L GDI engine (VIN [[redacted]]), approximately 84,000 miles. In [redacted] the check engine light came on, the engine began misfiring and running rough, and the vehicle lost power to the point it was unsafe to drive. A Kia dealer (Kia of Bedford, Bedford, OH) diagnosed the failure and reported that the cylinder 4 piston is severely damaged, requiring engine replacement. The vehicle has been out of service since [redacted]. This failure - piston damage on the 1.6L Gamma GDI engine -...

matches the failure pattern covered by recall SC176 for this same engine in 2012-2016 Kia Soul models. My 2017 model year falls just outside that recall. No accident or injuries occurred. I have also opened a case with Kia Consumer Affairs (#[redacted]), which is pending INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)
The vehicle began experiencing a sticky, notchy steering sensation at approximately 64,000 miles. At speeds of 55 mph and above, the steering encounters resistance when making very small adjustments around the center position while driving straight. The steering wheel feels like it briefly sticks and requires an additional nudge to move smoothly. The issue occurs with Lane Keeping Assist both enabled and disabled. It is less noticeable when driving through curves or downhill. The vehicle's alignment has been...

checked, but the issue persists. This resistance makes it difficult to make smooth, minor steering corrections while maintaining a straight path at highway speeds. I am concerned this may be related to a defect in the electric power steering system or steering gearbox, potentially similar to the sticky steering issues reported in newer Honda Civic model years. I am reporting this as a safety concern because it affects steering response during highway driving.
This complaint is a follow-up and expansion to existing NHTSA Complaint [redacted] regarding premature, cascading headlamp assembly failures on a 2023 Land Rover Defender X (VIN: [[redacted]]). At approximately 45,300 miles, the driver-side Daytime Running Light (DRL) signature halo suffered an internal electrical failure. To maintain vehicle safety and forward conspicuity, I paid out of pocket to replace the complete driver-side headlamp assembly at Land Rover Austin. Within days of that repair, at 45,319 miles,...

the passenger-side original factory headlamp assembly suffered an identical failure. The passenger-side signature halo and position light turned completely dark. Diagnostic scans confirm active hard fault codes stored in the Headlamp Control Module: * HCMB: B10F4-11 (Right front position light, circuit short to ground) * HCMB: B124A-11 (Right Daytime Running Light, circuit short to ground) Photographic documentation of the assembly labels confirms that the failed original passenger unit (build date 04.04.22) and the replacement driver unit (build date 2026-02-13) share identical internal supplier ratings and platform designations (KZ3 04S, POS: 2.7W, DRL: 15.8W). There is no revised hardware countermeasure, and both factory-sealed assemblies suffered catastrophic internal circuit shorts to ground within days of each other at 45,000 miles. Additionally, the dealership released the vehicle following the driver-side replacement with an active fault code: * HCM: B1041-54 (Levelling Control, missing calibration) This uncalibrated state has disabled Auto High Beam Assist and creates a risk of improper beam elevation. Having both forward factory lighting assemblies fail concurrently creates a serious loss of vehicle conspicuity and potential road illumination hazard on a low-mileage vehicle.

Engine seized up completely failed dealership, did not do a good job of trying to arbitrate replacement or repair of the engine. Their contact has been to the point where I have to walk in and try to talk to someone which is extremely frustrating. They don't keep you abreast of what's going on..

"I am filing this safety complaint regarding an unresolved, high-priority Takata Passenger Airbag Safety Recall on my 2015 Dodge Charger. This vehicle is subject to an active 'Stop-Drive' / 'Do Not Drive' advisory due to the risk of a fatal airbag rupture. I took the vehicle to an authorized Dodge dealership to have the safety recall performed. The dealership refused to complete the repair and stated they cannot install the factory recall kit because the vehicle has a Rebuilt Title, and the internal passenger...

dashboard/bracing structure was modified or damaged during a previous owner's collision. I contacted Dodge/FCA Corporate Customer Care Corporate informed me that they will not pay to remove the modified parts or fix the structural layout to make the recall kit fit, putting the financial burden on me to fix a structural issue I did not cause and was unaware of when purchasing the vehicle. Because the manufacturer's authorized network cannot physically execute this mandatory, life-threatening federal safety recall on this vehicle, the car remains an immediate hazard to the public and cannot be driven safely. I am requesting NHTSA's intervention to force FCA/Stellantis to provide a safe remedy, authorize a sublet structural repair, or issue a manufacturer buyback to safely remove this hazardous vehicle from the roadway."
while driving, i have had my Jeep grand Cherokee shut all lighting off at night then come back on. While driving all exterior lights (head lights, tail lights, etc.) and interior lights would randomly go off then come back on. this is a major safety concern that on a major highway what if they cut off and not come back. my wife drives this vehicle daily with our [[redacted]] daughter and now we are scared to even let her drive it. we bought this brand new and have had nothing but problems since 10k miles. multiple...

My husband was driving down the road, a deer ran out, in an effort to avoid he slid off the road and hit a tree (wet Conditions) 11/4/26.The passenger door frame snapped and bent in over the passenger seat.
When driving it felt like the car wants to die out and then they felt like a rubber band goes high. RPMs then shuts all the way down to low and then it stutters at around 48 mph. Can't hold a steady speed without feeling jerky and most definitely doesn't match speed with rpm's
I took it to Nissan auto collision and they kept giving Tesla insurance different prices for repair, Tesla no longer wanted to pay a big amount because they said the car wasn't worth it and said it's now salvage. I got my hood and bumper replaced. Nothing was malfunction, no engine lights or no warning messages showed on my dashboard. It has been inspected by insurance and said it looks good. It was a small hit when the Tesla tried turning left on ongoing traffic but I noticed her coming so I was able to stop but she still hit my front lower right bumper, it was not major.
Both front LED headlight assemblies on my 2023 Land Rover Defender 90 have developed widespread internal polycarbonate lens crazing (micro-cracking) with no external impact damage. These fractures scatter the LED beam pattern, disrupt the cutoff line, and noticeably reduce forward nighttime road visibility - especially in rain or fog - creating a safety hazard. A local Land Rover dealership confirmed via video that a brand-new Defender on their lot with 10 miles on the odometer exhibits the exact same lens crazing, indicating a systemic manufacturing or material defect.
While driving on the expressway, the vehicle's battery light illuminated, followed shortly by a complete loss of power at high speed that disabled the power steering. The driver managed to veer the vehicle into the expressway median, but when attempting to use roadside assistance, the remaining battery was entirely depleted. This total electrical failure locked the transmission, leaving the vehicle immovable and preventing the use of hazard flashers to alert oncoming traffic. Consequently, the driver was left stranded in a highly vulnerable and dangerous position on the median while awaiting a tow.
The temperlite glass between the windshield and moonroof on my rental 2025 VW Jetta SE cracked and almost shattered. It's a rock chip prone area and VW installed a temperlite glass instead of laminated. Other manufacturers have metal panels instead.
