Latest vehicle complaints

costing me hundreds now thousands from having to have it towed to time in the shop parts and labour not to mention countless hours and days missed off work unable to get there or being late already lost one job and on the verge of losing another! The lady 2 coils that I had to replace weren't lasting more than a week to a few days! I know there are countless complaints about this issue and major problem! WHY HAS THERE NOT BEEN ANYTHING DONE ABOUT IT YET WHY ISN'T THIS BEEN RECALLED ARE THEY WAITING FOR SOMEONE TO GET KILLED BECAUSE THEIR STATUS ON FIRE AND BLOWS UP?? I'm ready to start Law suit this is not right nor ok! We trust these manufacturers to build safe reliable vehicles and if not then they need to replace or repair them! This is the only vehicle I have and I'm disabled and can't just go out and buy a new car let alone continue to pay for repairs I shouldn't ever have to pay for over and over again! Please help?! You want dates? I have several dates!

smart battery charging module is defective. During the second incident on 10/18/2026, the vehicle stalled in the middle of a busy traffic intersection while stopping at a red light. My spouse and infant child were trapped in the vehicle for over two hours in an extremely high-risk crash zone before roadside help could arrive to jumpstart the vehicle. The local authorized Volkswagen dealership previously attempted to remedy the issue on 10/06/2026 by simply charging the battery for 24 hours, failing to find the root cause of the active electrical drainage and releasing an unsafe vehicle back into commerce. This is a severe, unpredictable stalling defect that leaves drivers entirely vulnerable to rear-end collisions.

technical assistance, and a manufacturer engineer revealed oil contamination inside the engine cylinders and on the spark plugs. This is a recurring issue; the spark plugs were replaced prior to the vehicle's delivery in August 2026 and were replaced again in October 2026. Despite the involvement of a Stellantis engineer, the manufacturer has failed to provide a diagnosis of the root cause of the oil contamination or a permanent repair. The vehicle has spent approximately 30 cumulative days out of service since August 17, 2026. I am reporting this as a systemic mechanical failure that poses a significant risk of sudden power loss during operation."

shield at no charge under Goodwill. There was no warning before the failure. A detached front lateral link fastener at highway speed can cause sudden loss of steering control. Tesla has issued multiple prior recalls for front suspension fasteners backing out or being under-torqued (2020, 2021, 2022, and September 2026), but none covers this vehicle, a November 2023 Fremont build.

disappeared on their own. On October 18, 2026, while traveling on the highway at approximately 65 mph, these warnings had already been displayed for approximately 30 minutes to an hour when my vehicle suddenly began struggling to accelerate. Despite pressing the accelerator, the vehicle continued losing speed, and the RPM gauge remained around 2,000 RPM. It felt as though something was holding the vehicle back. After several moments, the vehicle suddenly regained power, accelerated, and the RPM increased. This was particularly concerning because I was traveling at highway speed. I also experienced electrical problems with the interior lights. While the vehicle was running, neither the automatic interior lights nor the overhead lights near the rearview mirror would turn on. They remained inoperative after I turned off the vehicle. Later, the lights began working again, but I noticed the right overhead light fading while the left remained illuminated. The battery was replaced earlier this year, in 2026. I am concerned that these intermittent malfunctions could result in a sudden loss of power or failure of important vehicle safety systems while driving. I am requesting that these problems be documented and investigated for a potential safety defect or recall. I have photographs of the dashboard warnings available as supporting documentation.

broken and glued on. The technician documented that the vehicle is not safe to drive. No crash or injury occurred because I stopped driving it and had it towed/returned via roadside services.

mid-October 2026, a Honda dealership diagnosed coolant leaking past the cylinder head gasket into the combustion chamber and quoted approximately $5,000 for the repair. Replacement parts are on backorder with no estimated arrival date. Violent shaking during highway acceleration is a safety concern, and continued coolant leakage into the cylinders can cause further engine damage. In August 2026, American Honda extended head gasket warranty coverage to 10 years or 150,000 miles on 2018-2022 Accord 1.5T and hybrid models for the same condition: coolant entering the combustion chamber and causing misfires. The 2.0L turbo engine was excluded. A pending class action (Alcantara et al. v. American Honda, consolidated with Bissell v. American Honda, S.D. Cal.) alleges head gasket failure in Honda's 1.5L and 2.0L turbocharged engines. I ask that NHTSA investigate head gasket failures in 2018-2022 Accords with the 2.0L turbo engine, and whether this engine should be included in Honda's remedy.

and once for the steering where it is now and they told me it was ready and they could not find anything wrong with it. I told them this was a safety issue and could be very dangerous to drive especially the steering locking up. I asked did they check to see if it was a software update required or something and i was told they can't do a software update unless the find something as it need to be approved.

vehicle at the time, including two children. The vehicle came to a sudden, forceful stop, creating a risk of rear-end collision from following traffic and a jolt risk to occupants. This is a recurring defect - I filed a prior NHTSA complaint for a similar unprompted braking event [reference no-[redacted] ] that resulted in a shoulder/neck injury to me as well as headache. Both incidents are documented on dash camera video and audio, including the audible system alert preceding each braking event.

steering problem could cause a loss of the vehicle control and create a serious safety risk. The dealership inspected the vehicle but did not identify the cause of the problem. The vehicle is currently at the dealership for further evaluation. I was informed that a Honda field technician may take approximately four weeks to become available. Because the problem is intermittent, it may not occur during testing. The exact cause is unknown. I am reporting incidents so that NHTSA can review this potential safety defect and determine whether other vehicles may be affected.

with updated pistons , which the dealership never told me about or anything about it because the repairs where never fixed when there was a open recall . The vehicle suffers from a critical, systemic manufacturing defect involving defective piston rings that results in sudden, severe engine oil consumption and subsequent engine misfires. The vehicle consumes oil at an alarming rate without any external leaks, putting it at imminent risk of catastrophic engine failure while in motion. This issue causes sudden power loss and stalling while driving at highway speeds, creating an extreme safety hazard to the driver, passengers, and other vehicles on the road. Volvo is fully aware of this widespread manufacturing defect and previously issued an extended warranty/recall program for these exact defective piston rings, which has since expired. This leaving consumers exposed to sudden, dangerous mechanical breakdowns. A formal safety investigation is urgently requested to address the inherent engine failure hazards posed by these defective components.it wasn't a wreck or accident but it could of been the way car was acting after leaving dealership and it's because of faulty piston rings that the engine is a ticking time bomb and no way I can afford new engine or one to be rebuilt . They should be liable for selling a lemon it could permantky break down at anytime with the faulty piston rings and I'm disabled to me that's not only bad business but a safety hazard

has the vehicle and is transporting it to a Tesla Service Center in New Orleans for a safety inspection. The vehicle is therefore available for inspection through Audi Lafayette and Tesla. Video evidence of the intermittent camera malfunction is available upon request but could not be uploaded with this submission.
