2016 Hyundai ElantraEngine & cooling

For the past 2 years my car has been stalling on me while driving usually under 50 miles a hour, have had it to 5 different mechanic's and put thousands of money into it and none one can figure out what's wrong, the throttle body, camshaft and crankshaft position sensors and few other parts have been replaced to fix it but its still doing it. The engine is burning oil fast and it seems to do it more often when it gets low on oil. One mechanic was a Hyundai dealership that said it was crankshaft as well but I had it...

2021 Toyota HighlanderTransmission & drivetrain

At 92K miles, my transmission needs to be replaced. A $10,000 repair that per the mechanic, should not have to be done so soon on a 2021 Toyota Highlander. This is a well known issue with the transmissions on these cars. That's an expensive repair for just a 5 year old car.

We've made numerous attempts to have this issue addressed and resolved. Honda Corporate Customer Service and local dealerships are unable to resolve the issues. The infotainment system, Apple CarPlay , Android Auto , Siri are cut out at times. This leaves the system completely unresponsive and unable to communicate properly via Siri.

fact that we must restart the vehicle which then reboots the electronic device. It causes unnecessary delay and safety concerns while operating the vehicle. The back up camera is also unavailable while the system is glitching in and out. The dealership has done 4 Factory Reset prompts provided by Honda Bulletin/ Communications. This does not work or help.

2022 Ford BroncoBrakes

My 2022 Ford Bronco experienced an unexpected braking malfunction. One evening, the brake system warning light illuminated. The following morning, the warning light was no longer displayed, and there were no active warnings. Within approximately two miles of leaving my home, I stopped at a traffic light on a slight incline. While holding my foot on the brake pedal, I felt pressure build up, and the pedal unexpectedly pushed back against my foot. The vehicle began rolling backward. I immediately pressed the brake...

pedal again, and the brakes resumed functioning normally. I drove directly to a Ford dealership following the incident. The dealership identified a leak in a vacuum component associated with the braking system but did not confirm whether the leak caused the pedal behavior. The component was replaced at my expense of $652 after Ford denied coverage under my PremiumCARE Extended Service Plan. I am reporting this incident because the unexpected brake pedal movement and resulting vehicle rollback created a serious safety concern. I am concerned that a similar malfunction could result in a collision, particularly if another vehicle or pedestrian were behind the vehicle.

After driving about 67,000 miles, we noticed a stickiness of the steering wheel when turning left. The steering wheel does not pop back into place as it should when making a left turn. I believe this issue is being investigated under Recall Query RQ26002.

2023 Kia CarnivalOther & unknown

Bought for it to be a family car only to find out the defect of the sliding doors. Even after the recall "fixed" it my niece was crushed this morning by the door that obviously doesn't sense resistance fast enough. Since then I've tested it and it is dangerous enough that we have disabled the doors. The automatic doors are not safe for children.

2018 Ram 2500Suspension

The air suspension system on my 2018 Ram 2500 malfunctions whenever the vehicle is exposed to moisture, rain, or wet road conditions. When the ride height sensor or suspension wiring gets wet, the "Service Air Suspension System" warning message immediately illuminates on the instrument cluster. When this warning triggers, the system stops functioning properly, which affects vehicle leveling, ride stability, and load-carrying capability while driving. Moisture intrusion into the air suspension sensors or connectors is a recurring reliability and safety issue that impairs normal suspension operation in wet weather.

2018 Ram 2500Steering

The steering column-mounted gear shifter on my 2018 Ram 2500 is experiencing a severe Brake Transmission Shift Interlock (BTSI) failure. Initially, the shifter became locked in the Park position and would not shift out of Park even with the brake pedal fully depressed. Subsequently, the shift interlock mechanism failed in the opposite direction: when placed into Park, the shifter will not stay locked in Park and can move out of Park without pressing the brake pedal, creating an immediate unintended vehicle rollaway...

I am requesting that NHTSA investigate this repeat or unaddressed shift interlock failure on 2018 Ram 2500 vehicles and that FCA/Ram cover the repair as a safety defect.

2010 Audi Q5Fuel system

2017 Interim Repair (Recall 20W9 / NHTSA Campaign 16V-660): In 2017, my vehicle was serviced under Audi Safety Recall 20W9 (NHTSA Campaign 16V-660). At that time, the campaign was marked as "complete." However, rather than receiving a permanent replacement fuel pump flange, my vehicle only received the interim repair consisting of protective butyl tape applied over the existing flange. Dealership Denial (November 11, 2026): Today, November 11, 2026, I contacted Audi Plano regarding this leak. The dealership informed me that my vehicle is no longer under warranty and stated that my vehicle does not fall under Audi Safety Recall 20BJ (NHTSA Campaign 18V-818).

head-on collision situation. This was not simply an uncomfortable maneuver or a minor navigation error. The system attempted a driving path that could have placed my vehicle in direct conflict with opposing traffic. I have a video recording of the incident, including the vehicle's driving-status display and surrounding traffic. I am requesting that NHTSA review this occurrence as a potential safety defect involving roadway geometry recognition, divided-highway navigation, and wrong-way driving prevention. This incident appears relevant to NHTSA investigation PE25012, which addresses FSD traffic violations and driving into opposing lanes. I am willing to provide the original recording, exact intersection location, vehicle identification information, software version, and additional details for investigation.
