Warning lights for Traction Control parking Brake and ABS are all on. Diagnosis is a Bad Brake control Modular. Dealer said it is super common and a defective part. They want $3000.00 to fix it but Mopar does not make the part anymore so they cant help me anyway unless I bring them one from a junkyard. Jeep forum says DO NOT Drive the vehicle with a bad Brake controller, and I quote the Mechanic "ABS module failure poses a clear and present danger to drivers, passengers, and others on the road". so now what do I...

do? Cant get the part, the Manufacturer does not make the part, and the vehicle is a hazard on the road. Stelantis knows this is an issue for every Jeep Wrangler owner but does nothing to assist. They won't even produce a replacement part. PLEASE force JEEP to do the right thing and fix our ABS modulars
The ABS, brake, and traction-control warning lights on my 2018 Ram 1500 Rebel first appeared in June 2026 and are currently illuminated. During abrupt braking, the rear of the truck can slide sideways, making it difficult to maintain control. In June 2026, I was traveling approximately 50 mph when another vehicle pulled out in front of me. I applied the brakes, and my truck slid sideways off the roadway before stopping in the grass. There was no impact, visible damage, or injury, and no police report was filed....

The exact incident date is unknown. The vehicle had approximately 130,000 miles at the time, based on an estimate of my regular driving mileage. The braking problem continues. I leave additional following distance because I am concerned about losing control if sudden braking is necessary. This creates a risk of a collision or another roadway departure. Owner diagnostics using an Autel scan tool recorded active code C2200-49, described as an internal electronic failure of the anti-lock brake module. I suspect an ABS module malfunction, but the cause has not been formally confirmed by a dealer or independent service center. The original OEM ABS module remains installed and is available for inspection upon request. No solder reflow has been attempted. The truck also has an abnormal ride height, and the steering wheel is off center when traveling straight. Aero mode works when selected manually, but the truck no longer automatically enters Aero mode while driving. Whether these symptoms are related to the ABS problem is unknown. I contacted Mopar Cares about the concern and was directed to the dealership to discuss possible goodwill assistance.
To Whom It May Concern, I own a 2019 Tiffin Wayfarer on a Mercedes Sprinter Van chassis. Approximately one year ago on a trip I had a flat tire at about 25,000 miles. When the repair person inspected it, it turned out to be a valve stem issue. He replaced it and I was on the road. In August 2026 on a trip we had a tire go flat at about 30,000 miles and when the repair person inspected it, it turned out to be a valve stem issue. The valve stem split on the side, it didn't leak through valve. Two days later...

two of the other tires began to leak, though didn't go fully flat. I had these two tire valves replace too. This valve issue did destroy at least one of the tires in process. To recap, four of the six tires on the my 2019 Mecedes Sprinter van between 25k and 30k the valve stems went bad. I replaced two of the other six tires prior to the trip and the tire dealership replace the other two valve stems.
I replaced my transmission around 156000 miles the repair shop replaced my transmission with a brand new transmission from a ford dealer. Less than 6000 miles on my new transmission it needed to be replaced again. My transmission is having issues again with less then 20000 miles on the second transmission.
The contact owns a 2019 Tesla Model 3. The contact stated that while operating the vehicle, the service controller warning light illuminated and the vehicle was taken to the local dealer service center and was diagnosed with steering rack, wiring harness, and control module failure caused by corrosion from water. The steering rack, control module, and wiring harness were replaced and the vehicle was repaired. The manufacturer was not contacted. The failure mileage was 13,721.
1. The electronic power steering system on my 2018 Dodge Ram began malfunctioning intermittently, with the power steering going in and out, before eventually failing completely. I was informed that due to the design of the system, the entire rack-and-pinion assembly must be replaced because of the design. 2. The intermittent steering failure progressed to a complete loss of power steering assistance, creating a serious safety concern. Difficulty steering can affect the driver's ability to maneuver, respond quickly...

to traffic, and maintain control in emergency situations. Driving under these conditions puts me and other motorists at risk. I depend on this vehicle to get to work, but I cannot safely drive it with the steering system malfunctioning. Being unable to use my vehicle also creates a significant hardship because I must maintain my employment and daily responsibilities. 3. The problem has been identified as a failure of the electronic power steering system. I have been informed that the entire rack-and-pinion assembly must be replaced because of the way the system is designed. I have also been told that the required replacement part is on national backorder and is unavailable in Oklahoma with no delivery date in sight. The vehicle was inspected by Kasterke of Shawnee, OK and Kevin's Automotive. 4. To my knowledge, the manufacturer, police, and insurance representatives have not independently inspected the vehicle. 5. Before the complete failure, the electronic power steering system began working intermittently, repeatedly going in and out. The problem continued until the power steering failed completely. There was no warning. The vehicle just became unable to steer and handle. Once the system failed, the message "Power Steering Unavailable" appeared.
I am currently leasing a 2024 Mercedes-Benz EQB 250+. The vehicle displayed a warning related to the high-voltage battery system, indicating a potential malfunction and safety risk. I was advised that there may be an issue involving the high-voltage battery that could lead to battery failure and/or an increased risk of fire. Due to this warning, I no longer feel the vehicle is safe to operate or park near my home or other structures. The warning first appeared on the vehicle's dashboard while the vehicle was in...

normal use. The condition creates a significant safety concern because a high-voltage battery failure could potentially result in loss of propulsion, vehicle disablement, or a battery thermal event. The vehicle has been inspected and/or is scheduled for inspection by an authorized Mercedes-Benz dealership. The issue was brought to the attention of Mercedes-Benz of Rocklin. During my communications with the dealership, I was advised to pursue a vehicle buyback due to the severity of the situation and concerns surrounding the high-voltage battery. However, after I began pursuing that option, I was later informed that a buyback would not proceed. This conflicting guidance has left me with a vehicle that I have concerns about operating safely. Although I was initially led to believe the issue was significant enough to warrant a buyback, I am still in possession of the vehicle and continue to have concerns regarding the safety and reliability of the high-voltage battery system. The vehicle can be made available for inspection upon request. I am submitting this complaint because I believe a potential defect involving the high-voltage battery system presents a risk to drivers, passengers, and the public. I request that NHTSA review and investigate this issue to determine whether additional action is necessary to protect consumers.
The contact owns a 2019 Land Rover Discovery. The contact stated that the vehicle was taken to the dealer for routine maintenance. During an inspection, the technicians discovered that the fuel tank cover protectors were rusted. The contact was concerned that the driveshaft could strike the exposed fuel tank, causing a fuel leak. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The dealer confirmed the failure; however, the vehicle was not repaired due to warranty issues. The failure mileage was 80,000.
This vehicle, a 2004 V70 wagon, is exhibiting the exact safety defect described in Campaign 09V483000 / R220 (fuel odor, leaking flange, residual pressure loss). But because my VIN is not specifically on the list (it has been registered in CT, not in a "warm climate"), Volvo is refusing to fix. It is clear that this vehicle has the issue described in the recall (the top of the tank has been visualized). The issue started in January 2026 and has steadily worsened. With the amount of gasoline leaking, this is not only a safety issue but also an EMISSIONS issue.
My 2015 Ford Escape is subject to NHTSA Safety Recall 25V695/Ford Campaign 25SA9 concerning failure of the rearview camera. The recall was filed October 13, 2025. I have repeatedly attempted to obtain the recall repair through authorized Ford dealers in my area, but I continue to be told that the required part is unavailable. I contacted Ford today (10/21/26) asking for assistance in locating a dealer that can obtain the required part and complete the repair. I was once again told that a remedy is not available at...

Component: Multimedia display and connected-services software. Since September 2024, a pop-up has appeared on the center screen about every 7-10 minutes while driving: "Enter 6-digit PIN," with "Reset PIN?" and a grayed-out "Submit" button. I have never set or used a PIN. The vehicle is available for inspection. Safety risk: The pop-up takes over the screen and hides navigation while the vehicle is moving. It occurs with both Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, which points to the vehicle's software rather than the...

phone. To clear it, the driver must look away from the road, tap X, then tap the CarPlay icon to restore navigation. On a 30-minute drive, that is three interruptions and six screen taps. The prompt cannot be permanently dismissed, so the distraction repeats for as long as the vehicle is driven. This is a distracted driving hazard created by the vehicle's own software. Cause: A Toyota dealer said the prompt is tied to a free connected-services trial that expired 3 months into ownership, which matches when it began. I never paid for or renewed a subscription. An expired trial should not generate a recurring prompt on a driver's screen while the vehicle is in motion. Confirmed and inspected: A Toyota dealership confirmed this is a known issue. Three Toyota dealerships reviewed the vehicle between fall 2024 and 2025. One confirmed the software was current. None provided a fix. Toyota customer support could only help set a PIN, which does not stop the prompt. A workaround posted by other owners online stopped it for less than three months. I have an open case with Toyota corporate. Request: Other owners report the same problem online. I ask NHTSA to evaluate whether this affects other Toyota vehicles with the same multimedia system and whether a software remedy should be required.
On three separate occasions, 2/27/26, 9/9/26, and 9/23/26 the Idle stop/start feature was inoperable and caused the vehicle to shut down. Upon attempting to turn the vehicle back on, vehicle would not immediately start back up. Inoperable and a major safety concern since this happened at a red light that was turning green. This poses a great concern due to traffic approaching the light while green not noticing the vehicle is stopped, as the entire vehicle shuts off when this happens. There is no way to get the...

vehicle moving again, so if there is traffic approaching, there is no way to avoid it or get out of the way. This was inspected by the dealership on 2/27/26 and dealer replaced the starter. Then this happened again on 9/9/26 and 9/23/26 - dealer replaced starter again.
The bolt that attaches my seat to the rail that is attached the floor of the car broke. I am 155 pounds, was getting into my car to drive. I heard something, sounded like I might have dropped on the floor of the car. As I put my car into reverse I notice a small movement in my seat. As I begun to drive a standard the seat started to come up and rock towards the back. (Similar to how a rocking chair works) I am extremely concerned that a critical seat mounting bolt could break during ordinary use without...

warning. A driver's seat must remain securely attached to the vehicle to allow the driver to maintain proper control of the pedals and steering wheel. In this incident, the seat's movement directly interfered with my ability to operate the accelerator safely. This very dangerous and should not have happened. I have contacted the company that sold me the car and GM motors, and they have refused to fix the issues and stated that it is my responsible to pay to get it fixed. [[redacted]], staff even recommended me to drive my car to their dealership to have it looked at. Even though, it was unsafe to drive, which was also stated by other auto motive companies that it was not safe to drive.

My vehicle is taking oil into the engine and is available for inspection. The mechanic says some component in the engine is taking in oil. I am losing about 3/4 of a quart every 500 miles. He said his best estimate is in months to a year it will blow the motor. I have not taken it to a dealership just the mechanic company I use. No I got a message saying that I needed to add oil about 2 weeks after an oil change. My mechanic checked the oil levels for a couple weeks after that. And thats what I was informed after checking oil levels.
While driving the truck it randomly shuts down, message on dash says shift to park to restart. No check engine light comes on or any other message. When it does this, the truck goes into park. It has been to the dealership 3 times and has not been fixed!
My company FANCY S owns this 2026 Subaru Ascent, purchased new on [redacted] from Subaru of Glendale. The vehicle is under Safety Recall 26V-436 (Subaru WRH-26) for an incorrect Gross Axle Weight Rating (GAWR) on the certification label, a non-compliance with FMVSS No. 110. Subaru's interim letter in [redacted] said the corrective label is "not yet available," and Subaru does not plan to mail remedy labels to owners until January 2027. Nearly three months have passed and there is still no remedy for our vehicle. ...

This is a company vehicle that cannot be placed in commercial service while this safety recall remains open: our commercial insurer has flagged the open safety recall, and Subaru itself warns that loading based on the incorrect GAWR could overload the vehicle and increase crash risk. We continue to pay financing and insurance on a vehicle we cannot use. The remedy is a simple corrective label overlay. Subaru's own bulletin WRH-26R already publishes the procedure and the exact part for this vehicle: Part No. 99095XC000 (ID "H"). Furthermore, Subaru's official recall lookup shows the second 2026 Ascent our company purchased in October 2026 (VIN [[redacted]]) under the very same WRH-26 recall with the status COMPLETED - the corrective label was obtained and installed for that vehicle - while our [redacted] vehicle remains "Open - Remedy not yet available." On [redacted] we wrote to Subaru of America and to three Subaru retailers requesting expedited release of the label for this VIN. No remedy has been provided yet. I am asking NHTSA to press Subaru of America to provide a timely remedy for this vehicle instead of making owners wait until January 2027 for a paper label that already exists.

So on October 1st, my car, my nissan Leaf went into turtle mode for the first time. And then yesterday, while I was on the highway, it went into turtle mode, dropped down to 50 miles per hour, and I got off the highway, and the car wouldn't move anymore. I had to turn off the car, wait a couple minutes, and turn it back on, and then it worked again. I was told to contact the dealer to get a car rental. The dealer said that they don't have any loaners available and that other customers are waiting. I contacted...

Nissan, and Nissan is using a third party called Morley to handle this, and Nissan's saying that Morley's in charge of it and Morley isn't responding. I have a car that's under warranty and has an approved battery replacement. They're trying to call buy the battery, and Nissan themselves says that they would provide a rental, but Nissan keeps referring me to Morley and the dealer is not providing me a rental. And I have a car that I believe is a Potential health hazard that I need to feel comfortable driving, and I don't feel like anybody's helping me.
On the morning of October 19 at approximately 6:16 AM, I was driving the vehicle to my sister's home roughly 15 miles away. About 5 miles into the journey, without any other vehicles around or any external impact, I heard a loud boom. Upon pulling over to inspect the car, I discovered that the rear windshield had spontaneously shattered and exploded, held in place entirely by the window tint. Based on the environmental conditions and vehicle operation at the time, I believe this failure was caused by thermal...

stress. The outside temperature was 52 degrees, and I had the rear defroster activated; the cold glass combined with the heat from the defroster caused severe thermal shock, leading the glass to stress and shatter. Spontaneous breakage due to thermal stress or manufacturing defects in tempered glass is a known issue and should be covered under the vehicle's warranty. I contacted my dealership to report this dangerous manufacturer defect. I was informed that the manager would be notified and would follow up with me promptly. Unfortunately, that callback never occurred. Because the dealership failed to respond, I had to arrange for the glass replacement independently through my insurance to ensure the vehicle was safe to drive.
