2013 Ford EscapeSteering

2021 Toyota C-HRTransmission & drivetrain

I have a very loud whine coming from the front of my 2021 Toyota CHR with 93,000 miles. At first I thought it was a wheel bearing so I replaced it but the noise did not change. Over the last few days it has become louder and louder. Now every once in a while the car feels like it almost slips then catches traction. The noise has been confirmed by an independent shop, who said there is a new TSB (T-SB-0048-26) for the transmission which they said matches everything they noticed with my vehicle but it was only for 2018-2019. No warning lights or anything has appeared.

2024 Genesis GV60Electrical systemBrakesCrash

Update to NHTSA complaint #11629630: The accident resulted in my vehicle being declared a total loss. Here is what happened the morning of the accident. When I first started my Genesis, the display went completely black, so I shut the vehicle off and restarted it. After I began driving, multiple unusual and misleading messages appeared on the screen. About 15 minutes later, I reached my destination and began to park. As I was parking, the vehicle continued moving despite my foot being pressed firmly on the...

brake. I had to steer into a wall to stop it. My foot remained firmly on the brake at impact. Forward Collision-Avoidance Assist did not intervene, and automatic emergency braking did not activate as I approached a fixed obstacle. Based on the black display, warning messages, and reports linking ICCU failures to 12-volt battery drainage and staged loss of vehicle functions, I suspect the 12-volt battery may have been draining, and the vehicle's systems may have been failing in stages. I believe the braking system may already have been impaired. I ask NHTSA to investigate whether an ICCU, 12-volt battery, electrical, braking, or related system failure contributed to the accident. I contacted Genesis the same day, and case #40071113 was opened. I contacted Genesis multiple times and asked it to analyze the vehicle's computer data to determine the root cause. Genesis did not investigate the cause or respond to my requests; my calls were ignored. I ask NHTSA to consider reports of prior ICCU-related incidents and allegations that the manufacturer knew about this issue. I am grateful that no one was more seriously harmed.

2023 Hyundai ElantraElectrical system

I have a 2023 Hyundal Elantra SEL and my rear camera starts flickering and also goes blank frequently. In fact nowadays it is rarely working. I understand that there was a recall for 2021 and 2022 but not for 2023 yet. However it seems the issue continues with 2023 as well cause when I google I see I am not the only one having this issue. I called the dealership and because I am out of warranty they say they will charge as there is no recall for 2023.

2025 Toyota Camry HybridAcceleration & cruise controlDriver assistance

While driving with cruise control engaged, came up behind a truck going slower than I was so pressed the minus (-) on the steering wheel to lower the speed. Usually what happens is the speed will drop 1 MPH for each press. This time (and this is the first time I've seen this happen) instead of slowing down, the car sped up! And the speed kept climbing from 54 to 80 MPH without pause. My foot was nowhere near the accelerator pedal. It was not related to the minus presses which I did maybe 3 times during that speed...

up sequence. I am positive that I was pressing the (-). I was far enough behind the truck (on a slight hill) that there was no danger but the car's speed kept climbing so I stepped on the brakes which disengaged the cruise control. When I later tried to reengage it, it gave a dash display warning that it couldn't be engaged. I waited ~5 minutes and it did reengage without cycling power.

accelerate normally when traffic began moving, my safety and the safety of other motorists were put at risk. The driver behind me expected my vehicle to move when the light turned green and nearly collided with the rear of my vehicle when it failed to accelerate. The sudden loss of power created the risk of a rear-end collision and prevented me from maintaining the normal flow of traffic through the intersection. I was able to pull the vehicle to the side with the help of other people pushing the car of the road. I shut off the car and attempt to restart it several times. The vehicle did not restart. The oil odor remained noticeable during the incident. The vehicle was subsequently taken to Athens Toyota for inspection. After diagnosing the vehicle, the dealership technician determined that the cause of the problem was a sudden transmission failure. The sudden transmission failure resulted in a loss of vehicle propulsion and created a significant safety hazard while driving in traffic. The transmission has not yet been repaired or replaced. Answers: 1) Transmission failure. The vehicle is available for inspection upon request. 2) The vehicle suddenly lost the ability to accelerate normally while entering an intersection when the traffic light turned green, creating a risk of a rear-end collision and endangering myself and other motorists. 3) Yes.

dealer couldn't find anything not even a computer code. This could have happened on a semaphore waiting for a light and maybe the car would have rolled on its own? that's something that it is concerning.

2023 Land Rover Range RoverFuel system

On March 18, 2026, while I was driving, the engine overheated. The coolant warning was hidden behind another alert on the instrument display, so I had no usable warning before a near engine failure. I had to pull over and the vehicle was towed to the dealer, where a coolant leak was confirmed and repaired. This is a recurring coolant system defect. It first appeared in December 2023, seven months after I bought the vehicle new, and has been reported to the authorized dealer nine times: December 2023, February 2024,...

March 2024, May 2024 (towed in), October 2024, April 2025, March 2026 (towed in after overheating), May 2026, and October 2026. Repairs have included replacing the radiator-to-thermostat hose assembly, oil cooler hose, thermostat, hoses, transmission cooler and cooler lines, coolant bypass tube, and upper radiator hose. The leak keeps returning, with repeated low coolant warnings and coolant leaking onto the ground. The safety risk is sudden engine overheating and failure while driving, with the overheat warning able to be hidden by other alerts on the display. I regularly transport children in this vehicle. The manufacturer has denied two repurchase requests, in 2024 and 2026.

2020 Honda CivicSteering

The wheel becomes sticky/ jerky when driving at speeds over 40 mph and causes overcorrecting. It is worse around bends and makes holding the wheel straight difficult. The stickness is consistently present when on the highways making it incredibly dangerous to drive at these higher speeds as I am constantly having to overcorrect the wheel. The dealer and an independent service center have both said they have been able to reproduce the sticky steering and that it is the steering rack. There is not any warning on my dashboard to indicate this part is failing which is also problematic as I should be made aware before my steering wheel completely freezes when driving at high speeds.
