system. I have concerns about why it was present and not disclosed initially • Water pump and cooling-system repairs: Repairs included work on the thermostat and water pump, followed by radiator replacement and a coolant flush. • Continued overheating concerns: Despite repairs, I continued experiencing overheating alerts. • Engine performance problems: The vehicle experienced a loss of power, with a reported inability to maintain speeds above approximately 60 mph during one incident. • Check-engine warning: A prior repair-order history documented a blinking malfunction indicator light during a driving incident. • Diagnostic trouble codes: Codes P2601 and P272D were subsequently reported. • Potential head-gasket concerns: The possibility of a head-gasket problem has been raised during the ongoing dispute. Honda has referenced a multi-model cylinder-head-gasket warranty extension, but I have not received approval for coverage on my vehicle. • Warranty denial: Honda corporate has declined to approve the requested warranty coverage. Despite the repeated problems, diagnostic visits, and repair attempts, I am still dealing with the consequences of purchasing a vehicle that has not provided the reliable transportation I paid for. I have spent time and money trying to get answers, and I have been left facing the financial burden of a vehicle that I cannot confidently depend on.

This may happen whether the camera image is frozen or active.
The engine ecoboost 2.0 needs a long block assembly due to coolant intrusion. This is a documented defect known to Ford but they refuse to reimburse replacement of the engine that can run over $9,000. This is a serious safety defect that can cause catastrophic damage or injury.
total collapse of upper immediate steering shaft resulting on total separation/failure and complete loss of steering. this literally separated/fell apart in my hand when i was cleaning the front seat carpeting. i had just finished driving back from a 100 mile trip. if this would have happened on the freeway, i would have lost all steering of the vehicle resulting in catastrophic injury or death TO myself or others. i called ford and told them what happened. i found out there was a recall on this item. i found...

out this car was service for this before. even though this car went in for the recall, this item (upper steering shaft) has totally failed again. i have seen that this is COMMON for this steering to fail even after the initial recall "repair". this could have easily resulted in death and ford is willing to do nothing about it. one would think that of all components of a vehicle, the steering system would be safe and reliable. apparently ford does not care. they are aware of my auto failure and that it could cause certain death, but they are not interested in repairing this component that should be safe under all normal driving circumstances.
Hello, I'm on permanent disability and this my only car. it started with noticing white smoke coming out of the exhaust and a sweet smell. also noticed the coolant getting low and had to keep adding more in with no visible leaks.

Shift gear won't go into park. Emergency brake locked. Had dealer look at it and apparently a valve is blocked in transmission. Seen a number of complaints about transmission issues on this particular model yet this Vin is not on recall. GM says it needs a whole new transmission which will be $10,000. Really?? The least they could have done was fix this vehicle in good faith because of past recalls. Now I'm stuck with no vehicle and still paying for the finance.

Radiator is leaking coolant at the bottom. Upon close inspections it is noted the front grill design of the vehicle leaves the radiator super exposed to the elements and road hazards causing excessive damage to the radiator during normal everyday use. During a call to the dealer it was discovered the radiator is not covered by the manufacturer warranty due to the damage being caused by road hazards even though the vehicle design is what left the component vulnerable. Hyundai intentionally sold me a vehicle...
