Sun roof drains failed flooding the car and destroying electronics in the passenger wheel well. This is a problem that happens with every single L405 ever produced and the manufactures answer for it is a complete replacement of the sunroof and insert. The cost of the repair will mechanically total a vehicle that's as little as five years old. The actual solution is 3.5 hours of labor and less than $100 of parts but its not acknowledged by Land Rover simply because every L405 in existence will eventually have this...

exact failure that is due to a poor design with dissimilar metals in a wet environment creating electrical current and causing rapid deterioration of the less noble metal (Drain Tubes). The first module to get destroyed is the audio amplifier located under the passenger seat. This part is constantly on Back Order due to the number of people experiencing this issue and is $1500. The labor to replace this item is going to triple the cost. All due to two small defective drains that they refuse to acknowledge are poorly designed.
It's identical to the Ro3 Dodge Grand Caravan recall. My year, make, and model were recalled for this issue, but Dodge says my vin falls out the production window. However, parts from the exact same vendor (Continental) that suffer from the same weak internal detents were often installed in vehicles outside the official recall parameters. The internal springs in my Wireless Ignition Node (WIN) module have worn down, causing the vehicle to turn off from road bumps or key weight. The van stalls when the key...

jiggles. Driving down the road and I lose everything, power steering etc. Super dangerous to myself and others on the roadway. It's obviously the issue, when you watch the key fall into accessory mode from a bump or road vibration. This has happened repeatedly and the recall should be expanded to include more VIN numbers experiencing the same issue.

Brake system failure from the master cylinder was literally leaking brake fluid. I was driving on 10-1-26 and noticed warning signs flashing on and off. Took it to a service center 10-5-26 and was confirmed it was the issue. I could've been in a serious accident from a safety component failing that wasn't my fault.
My incident relates to peeling paint on my white 2020 Hyundai Santa Fe. The paint has started to bubble, crack and peel off on the rear hatch of the vehicle. Hyundai has had issues with white color paint peeling off on a variety of their vehicles, across multiple years. Hyundai issued an extended warranty program (Z05) to cover the issue. I took my Santa Fe to the Hyundai dealer body shop near me to assess my peeling paint issue. While at the body shop facility I saw and took photos of multiple white Santa Fe's...

and Tucson's with peeling paint that appeared to have the same paint issue my 2020 Santa Fe is starting to exhibit. Both the Hyundai dealership body shop and Hyundai's Customer Care center have stated that my specific VIN number is not covered for the issue. The Hyundai Customer Care center stated that they are unable to add me VIN number to their coverage, but advised me that if the Z05 Warranty Program for the paint defect is expanded in the future, and my VIN number becomes included, I would then be reimbursed for expenses I have incurred to address the problem. 10/20/26 - The body shop has now updated that Hyundai will cover 90% of the cost to repair the paint damage for this specific incident, but I am still pressing for them to completely cover the repair. I would also like to see my VIN number added to the Z05 Warranty Program coverage so that I, too, would receive coverage for any additional paint peeling issues should they arise during the remaining warranty period of my vehicle. I have included a picture of my Santa Fe's peeling paint issue, and a picture of one of the random cars from the Hyundai dealer body shop exhibiting the same problem.

Ball joints , control arms , wheel barrings broke into pieces. Tire was angled in grinding on the brakes and rotor. It was bought at a auction from a previous auction buyer. I bought a new frame for the back due to it being bent. I also replaced the exhaust pipe it was cut into pieces. I was very concerned with the lower control arm parts being warn out. The dangers of the ball joints or the barring falling apart would have left me in a dier tragedy. I did have a mechanic replace the parts. He did damage to them so...

I had to uninstall parts and assemble them as precise as should be. I also had to leave my car there was no way I was able to move it without a part busting off. It is being maintained part by part . Its a hassle . I do believe parts were being swapped without me knowing. That is very concerning . I also replaced the tire .
2 weeks ago my vehicle broke down while driving due to a failed PTU, I went to accelerate at a stop sign my vehicle moved about an inch and then my vehicle would not move any further my engine just revved, four-wheel drive warning lights came on and then my car kept putting itself in park mode.

completely undrivable and unsafe. Chrysler/stellantis has no fix or remedy for the recall, the dealership has not been any help and the customer service for the recall center has not been any help, the dealership just keeps telling me since there's no fix or remedy I have to pay out of pocket for the same defective part to be installed, they will not offer any kind of loner or rental... I just bought this vehicle back in December and I still owe over $16,000 on it and I'm still liable for making a payment. Today the dealership notified me that I need to make a decision if I'm going to pay out of pocket for the repair or else my vehicle cannot sit on there a lot... This is left me in a very difficult place with no real answers from Chrysler or the dealership, the dealership also tried lying to me to get more money out of me by telling me that my battery was completely shot, after going up there and dealing with a manager we learned that there was absolutely nothing wrong with the battery but yet they still tried charging me over $600 to fix it.
Technical Bulletin:TSBH299NAS3 / NAS20.11.001 H299 recall Hello, I am submitting this complaint regarding my 2019 Jaguar XE, which I purchased in 2026. After experiencing issues with the vehicle, I had a diagnostic check performed. The findings indicated that the vehicle needs a variable camshaft timing VCT solenoid replacement. Based on the diagnostic findings, my vehicle appears to be experiencing the same issue addressed in Jaguar technical bulletin TSBH299NAS3. I contacted Jaguar Customer Service to inquire...

about coverage for this repair. However, I was advised that my vehicle's VIN is not included in the H299 recall. When I explained that my vehicle is experiencing the same issue addressed by the bulletin, Jaguar Customer Service advised me to submit a complaint to NHTSA in an attempt to have the matter reviewed and potentially resolved. I am concerned that my vehicle is experiencing a mechanical issue addressed by an existing Jaguar technical bulletin, yet I am being denied solely because my VIN is not included. I believe vehicle owners experiencing the same defect should receive fair consideration, particularly when the issue has already been identified by the manufacturer. I respectfully request that NHTSA review this matter. Thank you so much

I have a 2019 Jeep Cherokee with around 52000 miles on it. The SVC 4WD light came on, and so I looked up potential recalls. It looks like my particular VIN was not part of the Recall (26V-290), but is having the same problem. I would love to know if this is something I can get taken care of by the dealership/Jeep, as it's a very expensive fix for something that should have a much longer lifespan. The dealer has the car, but tells me it's safe to drive (for now). There are some reverse to drive sounds that are...

disconcerting, as well as a number of pop-up notifications about the lack of 4WD capability. Given the concerns listed in the previous recall (26V-290), I would argue that this is ALSO a concern and should be considered as a potential expansion of that previous recall.
