SVC 4WD light came on the dashboard. Took to the dealership, they said it was a PTU issue and it needed to be replaced. $3800 and 45 days to fix. NHTSA notes recalls for my year make and model for my 2021 Jeep Cherokee Latitude Lux but does not show a recall for my specific VIN#. Jeep says nothing they can do since the NHTSA does not show a recall for my specific VIN#. Vehicle was taken to Jeep Chrysler AutoNation in Golden Colorado. Apparently having a faulty PTU can be a MAJOR safety issue. Please advise.

and Rental Approved On September 4, the dealership informed me that a specialist was coming to inspect the vehicle. Following this evaluation, I was told they had finally identified the problem and would proceed with the repair after the holiday. 3. September 23, 2026 - Additional Testing Requested On September 23, I contacted the dealership to determine whether the vehicle had been repaired. Allowed to pick up September 26th after additional testing completed. October 13, 2026 - Dangerous Failure While Driving On October 13, the truck experienced another serious failure while traveling approximately 75 mph on the highway. The engine shut down while the vehicle was in motion. Once it came back on, warning lights illuminated across the dashboard, and the vehicle entered limp mode. We managed to get the truck home, where it had to be towed.After arriving home, the truck would not shut off normally. It eventually shut down on its own. When we attempted to restart it, the previous warning messages and electronic faults returned, including messages indicating that the vehicle was already in Drive when it was not on at all. This is the initial issues that had occurred. This incident created a serious safety concern because the engine shut down while the vehicle was traveling at highway speed. The truck had been returned to us as repaired approximately 17 days earlier.
While driving in a heavy rainstorm on October 15, 2026, the vehicle hydroplaned and every brake warning light came on at once, and the dashboard displayed a message that the brake system had failed and the brakes did not work. I believed I had no brakes while crossing a river bridge and thought I was going to die. The brakes actually worked and I got home, but a vehicle should never tell a driver its brakes have failed when they have not, especially in an emergency. All brake warning lights stayed on after I parked. The vehicle has not yet been inspected for this failure.

I have a 2022 Ford Edge with catastrophic internal mechanical failure of the 8F35 8-speed automatic transmission and torque converter assembly.

the battery was getting to be towards end life and was advised I would need to replace by fall. At this time the car was around 50K miles. The issues progressively got worse over time when in August the car experienced full stalling moments when trying to turn left across several lanes of traffic putting both myself and family and others at risk of accidents. The car also began to have a shudder towards the end of August early September. At this time I had the battery replaced. The car ran better for a day and then the issues started back up again and finally a code to have the engine checked came on. Brought to an auto parts store and they advised no codes were pulling. I took the car to the dealership I purchased it from and they confirmed the car needed a replacement transmission. Scheduled an appointment at a Ford dealership to have the car examined and they confirmed the transmission issue and the need for a replacement. Now the car is 4K miles past the 60K mile window and I am being told that Ford will not assist with the repair. Car is currently at Ford dealership while navigating why assistance is being denied.

I have had a problem with the "Auto Idle Stop" in my 2025 Acura MDX. While at a stop light 2 different times and at a stop sign 1 time the car engine shut off as it should. Upon letting off the brake and pressing the gas the car would not go. It stayed in Park and I could not get it to go. The engine would not turn back on. I received a warning light that said "depress brake and push start". Upon doing this the car still would not start. I had to open the door, shut door, push brake and then start the car. Dealer confirmed that this has been an issue.
