2019 Chevrolet BlazerSteeringElectrical system

Electronically controlled thermostat and sensor fail or get stuck at a much lower coolant temperature causing the dash to display the "steering assist is reduced drive with care." It isn't just a message, the steering is much harder to use potentially causing an accident. The ac completely doesn't work causing potential for sensitive, elderly, or young children and pets to overheat inside, it's significant risk of injury or death from the hot summer temperatures. The engine coolant temperature gauge is all the way...

down on C position which isn't registering how hot/cold the engine gets potentially causing damage to the vehicle and a total loss of the vehicle entirely due to damage from the engine overheating. After doing research online, this problem is affecting all years of the 2019+ blazers with the 3.6L V6 engine AND other known problems with other models and years of their other lineup of cars, it's very widespread across their platforms. So what are people supposed to do when it isn't? Pay an $3800+ repair bill to GM when they KNOW it's more widespread than just this year/make? This is a scam. I'm reporting this complaint to raise awareness and hopefully GM will do the right thing.

2026 Volkswagen TiguanElectrical systemEngine & cooling

While driving a 2026 Volkswagen Tiguan in Los Angeles County, CA, the vehicle spontaneously and without driver input shifted itself into Neutral. The vehicle experienced a complete loss of motive power and stopped driving. I was travelling with my newborn infant in the back seat when the vehicle lost propulsion in active traffic, creating an extreme and immediate collision hazard. The vehicle had to be coasted to the shoulder under hazardous conditions. Car literally stopped in the middle of a busy intersection. Several dashboard lights came on during this incident. The next day the engine light turned on.

2021 Honda AccordOther & unknown

Infotainment System glitching: "ghost touch"; the screen is not registering my touches and randomly selecting/pushing buttons all on its own. Took it to Honda dealership and they have no answer or fix. This happens from time to time while driving, causing a huge safety concern. Extremely distracting to me, the driver. Everywhere I go to get answers, I only get "issue is known to manufacturer but no fix available; they are currently working on a fix". This has happened multiple times intermittently since I've purchased the vehicle in 2021.

2025 Volvo EX90Transmission & drivetrainElectrical systemBrakes

My car is a Volvo EX90 and it is totally electric. Twice in the past 6 weeks the car has died, once I was driving and an electric and brake warning came on and told me to stop the car. I pulled over immediately and the car never worked again-- it would not turn on and it has been "bricked" for the past 21 days. I was in the middle of a 4 lane street which is very dangerous, luckily there was an entrance to a church where I pulled over because the car immediately died thereafter. If I would have been on the highway...

when this occurred I could have died. The first time the car "bricked" it failed to turn on in a parking garage after being parked for about 90 minutes. Volvo replaced the batteries after the first incident but they have been unable to tell us what is wrong with the vehicle now and the service department has had it for 21 days as of today.

and the request for an evidence-based technical investigation and warranty determination. Approximately seven weeks after purchase, while driving eastbound on I-526 just beyond the Wando River Bridge, we experienced a sudden and extremely loud boom above our heads. The weather was hot, and the vehicle's air conditioning was operating. We were approximately 10 minutes into the drive and traveling at approximately 55 mph. We immediately began looking for a safe place to stop and slowly pulled onto the shoulder. Upon inspecting the vehicle, we discovered that the glass panel located between the windshield and panoramic moonroof had shattered. The damage extended across the panel, with glass appearing to have blown outward at both ends and cracking extending across the panel. The vehicle had approximately 500-550 miles on it at the time of the incident; the exact mileage should be confirmed against the vehicle records. • Approximately 4:51 p.m.: The sudden boom and glass failure occurred. • Approximately 4:54 p.m.: Photographs of the damage were taken at the scene. • Approximately 5:18 p.m.: An additional photograph was taken after we returned home. We did not identify a clear cause for the failure at the scene. Given the sudden noise, extent of the damage, and the vehicle's very low mileage, we were concerned that the failure could involve a material defect, manufacturing issue, installation issue, or stress-related proplem.

2019 Jeep CherokeeTransmission & drivetrain

I had a failed Power Transfer Unit. Received a "SVC 4WD" light on my dashboard. After running a code check, it was determined to be a PTU issue. There is an apparent recall on this unit for 2019-2023 Jeep Cherokees. I own a 2019 Jeep Cherokee Latitude Plus which was NOT part of the recall. I'm not sure why it wasn't if I'm having the same issue as the cars that were part of the recall. Now the part is on backorder and I'm having to pay out of pocket for a $4,000 repair. The car is currently at the Jeep dealership awaiting the part and the repair. I think the recall needs to be expanded as this seems to reach more than just the vehicles in the current recall.

2023 Jeep Grand CherokeeElectrical systemEngine & coolingFuel system

While driving in active traffic at approximately 6 PM, our 2023 Jeep Grand Cherokee 4xe experienced a catastrophic, sudden loss of propulsion/driving power with no prior warning. The vehicle would not switch to gas, completely died, and refused to restart even in e-Save mode. A dashboard warning appeared: 'plug in vehicle for battery conditioning.' We were stranded in an active lane of travel and nearly rear-ended before securing police assistance (911 call) and a AAA tow. This directly mirrors known safety risks regarding sudden loss of power (Recall 78C / NHTSA 25V766) and high-voltage battery failure.

during first 500 mile break-in period. On [redacted] I reported to Owen Motorsports in [[redacted]] (original dealer/shop) during first 500 mile service. Dealer unable to replicate issue. They did however run updates to ECM/Ride Command software and I did not experience issue again for another ~500 miles. But, after happening again I scheduled service with Green Mount Road Motorsports in [[redacted]] for drop off [redacted] (closer dealer because of possibility of needing to leave bike overnight). This dealer called me later in the day after I dropped off the bike and said they test rode bike, were able to replicate the issue. The service employee or manager refused to further diagnose or repair the defect under warranty claiming a total loss of braking for 1-2 seconds is 'normal behavior.' Alarmingly, after opening a case with Indian corporate customer care (Case #[redacted]), neither I nor Indian corporate customer care can get the Green Mount Motor Sports service manager to return calls since [redacted]. Indian corporate suggested I visit the shop in person as a next step which I will not be doing. The dealer is displaying negligence regarding a critical safety mechanical defect by dismissing it as normal motorcycle/brake behavior. The motorcycle remains grounded at the dealership since [redacted] awaiting proper diagnosis and repairs. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)

2014 Ram 1500Body, doors & structureFuel system

Ram has a recall for this vehicle for the fuel tank strap attachment point on the frame. It is their x75 recall. The part on my truck is completely rotted out exactly why the recall was made. My truck is 8 months outside of the recall period so Ram will not replace the part. The frame has obviously been rotting for a long time and who knows how long the fuel tank has only been supported with one strap. This is a huge safety concern and one that Ram is refusing to repair because it is outside of the time line. ...

I can provide photos of the rotted out area as well as strap that is rotting as well. A known issue like this should not have a time line and should be replaced at no cost. Original in service date for the vehicle was February 18, 2014

2025 Toyota Camry HybridVisibility & wipers

Driver side windshield wiper constantly streaks on the return stroke despite replacing the wiper blades several times. This creates difficulty seeing when raining. I have tried several different brands (including Toyota OEM) wiper blades and they ALL streak on the driver side directly in the line of sight. This apparently is a known issue and I would like it fixed but the dealer will not do anything about it.

The "ghost touch" issue with the touchscreen on the display on my Mazda is added to all the 1000s of others reported on multiple sites by consumers on the internet. It is a very serious destruction from driving and that is a safety issue. Mazda has issued a technical bulletin but that is forcing consumers into buying another display board for something consumers did not cause and cannot afford. Why is this a safety issue? Because when you're driving or stopped at a traffic light, the screen will randomly float from...

one input to another, sometimes even dialing people from the contacts list that is synchronized from your smart phone or inexplicably, changing stations and responses to touches that the drivers never initiated, therefore causing a distraction from watching what's happening on the road ahead. Drivers have to take their eyes off the road ahead and shift over to the display to understand what's going on if that is not also a safety issue I don't know what is. Mazda has to be forced to issue a safety recall on the touchscreens for all affected vehicles.
