Something is not right with the windshield on VW Atlas models. The windshield of mine has cracked twice in less than 3 years. I have never had cracked windshield with any other cars i have driven. Both times the crack began in the same region - behind the rear view mirror. Both times it spread rapidly from just an inch or two down across the entire windshield on the passenger side. This last time, there was no noticeable incident, no rock hit, nothing in the days leading up to the crack appearing. Both of the...

**2024 Kia K5 GT\-Line - Electrical Overheating and Burned Dashboard Wiring** My 2024 Kia K5 GT-Line, with approximately 112,000 miles, has experienced intermittent audio system failures. On November 9, 2026, I was informed by a Kia dealership that the AV unit was excessively overheating and that the dashboard wiring harness had sustained melted and burned wiring. The dealership technician described the AV unit as being so hot that he could "fry an egg on it." The dealership advised that both the AV unit and...

dashboard wiring harness require replacement. I am extremely concerned that this excessive overheating and electrical damage present a potential vehicle fire hazard, particularly because the original symptoms involved intermittent audio failures rather than an obvious warning of an electrical safety problem. I am requesting that NHTSA review this incident as a potential electrical safety defect and determine whether similar failures have occurred in other Kia vehicles.
The 12-volt auxiliary battery in my 2024 Toyota bZ4X repeatedly drains and fails, leaving the vehicle completely unable to start. This has happened multiple times since [redacted], including State Farm Emergency Road Service events on XX, requiring jump starts and tows. The first occurrence was at about 8,000 miles. The vehicle becomes inoperable without warning and cannot be restarted, which is a safety concern because it can leave the driver stranded without warning. The selling dealer, Team Toyota of Princeton...

2002 Acura MDX automatic with premium nav. We've experienced 2 main issues with this vehicle. First, the navigation screen glitched for some time and then finally quit completely. The second and larger failure is our shifting gears are beginning to slip and then jolt when the engine needs to shift into a different gear while driving. We notice it jolting occasionally when shifting into reverse as well.
I am writing to complain about the forward crash system breaking being applied in situations that are more dangerous than the potential for no breaking to have been applied. The problem has occurred several times as vehicles are turning from my lane to the right (with approximately 50' between vehicles), it applies the break hard enough to stop me and if there had been a vehicle behind me they would have likely hit me. The system has also applied the break while i was driving on the expressway at 75mph with no vehicles in front of me.

While driving my 2018 Toyota Camry through Bowers Hill interstate interchange, where multiple major highways merge, my vehicle completely lost the ability to accelerate or maintain speed despite pressing the accelerator pedal. The engine continued to rev and RPMs increased, but the vehicle would not respond with forward acceleration. At the time of the failure I was traveling in an area with heavy, fast moving interstate traffic. I was forced to maneuver across four lanes of moving traffic to reach the far right...

shoulder while my vehicle was rapidly losing speed and unable to accelerate. This created an extremely dangerous situation because I could not maintain the speed of surrounding traffic or accelerate to safely change lanes. I was at significant risk of being struck by another vehicle. The failure occurred very suddenly with very little time to react. There was no check engine light on and otherwise my car seemed to be operating normally prior to this incident with the exception of a few hard shifts between first and second gear. After the incident, the vehicle was taken to a repair facility. The mechanic informed me that the transmission was not functioning and that a replacement transmission may be necessary. I was also informed that Toyota transmissions were on national backorder and that a service bulletin existed concerning the transmission. The exact cause of the failure has not yet been confirmed. I am reporting this incident because the sudden and complete loss of acceleration at interstate speeds presents a serious safety hazard. Had I been unable to reach the shoulder, or had surrounding traffic been less accommodating, this failure could have resulted in a serious or potentially fatal collision. Me vehicle was purchased from a Toyota dealership used with 42,000 miles and has only 114,000 miles currently. It is available for inspection upon request.
The vehicle is currently experiencing severe hesitation during acceleration, slipping gears, high RPM surging, shuddering, jerking at low speeds, and complete loss of motive power. This behavior represents a critical safety hazard, particularly when merging onto highways or turning across oncoming traffic. I have yet to take it to a dealer due to financial hardship and concern for my safety of driving it to one. It has yet to be inspected. Manufacturer was contacted via email about current issues but have had no response yet. There were no warning lamps when I initially was driving away from dealer.
On July 2021 my fuel pump motor was replaced due to a recall . My car has a raw smell of gas coming from my back seat . I took it to the dealer on 10-24-26 they wanted to charge me 200 to check it which I thought it was crazy due to they had replaced the motor on the fuel pump and I asked to talk to manager he said it was replaced on 2021 and it's not covered no more . I think if it was replaced maybe the motor or parts that they used where defective. They should check with out charging me
On my 5th wheel near the drivers rear axle leaf spring hanger,the I beam (frame) has a 1 to 2 in crack in it. There are gussets supports on the passenger side hangers but none on the drivers side.

The contact owns a 2017 Ram 1500. The contact stated that while stopping and accelerating from a traffic light, or executing a turn at approximately 5 MPH, the engine stalled. The failure recurred intermittently. The contact manually restarted the vehicle each time. The contact stated that the transmission was replaced at 40,000 miles, and the failure recurred.

The high-voltage lithium-ion propulsion battery pack/modules. The vehicle is currently in my possession and is available for inspection upon request. The vehicle's battery cells are at risk of thermal overload, which can lead to a catastrophic vehicle fire. Because a permanent hardware fix has not been provided for nearly a year, I am forced to park and charge the vehicle strictly outdoors away from structures to protect my home, family, and neighbors. Furthermore, the mandatory interim software update has...

artificially capped my vehicle's battery charge at 90%, significantly degrading the vehicle's driving range, usability, and value without resolving the underlying physical defect. The vehicle has been serviced and documented by an authorized Jaguar dealership for the interim recall software installation, meaning the manufacturer is fully aware of this specific vehicle's affected status. The vehicle was flagged directly by the manufacturer via a formal safety recall notice regarding battery fire risks. Following the interim dealer software update, the vehicle now displays a permanent restriction limiting the maximum state of charge to 90%.
The B pillar, that has a recall for it for almost 2yrs while waiting for the part to be available, fell off while driving on the freeway.

been called and still will not fix the issue which has progressed to affecting other parts of the vehicle unless we pay out of pocket with quotes over $2,000!! There is a recall and it's close to 2yrs waiting for the "part" but now the part has actually fallen off it's causing more electrical and costly issues. Ford needs to pay for these repairs now with no more excuses. I need help please.
