My back-up camera is not working properly. Sometimes it works. But then flips and the image is upside down. Sometimes it's black. It has become a safety concern. This recall was announced over 1 year ago and I have been waiting for it to be repaired.

illumination of the oil warning light. While at the dealership, the vehicle was test-driven, and personnel confirmed that an electronic power steering failure occurred.

Rear Back Up Camera is very dangerous. Does not work now. Was recalled, taken to dealer to repair, had all the problems specified on the recall, but was told it was our problem because it did not meet the recall standard. It does not work at all. We were told we had to pay to get it looked at again to verify that it was accurately stated it did not qualify for getting fixed. Recall 25S89.
2020 Nissan LEAF, approx. 31,000 miles. On [redacted], the vehicle received the software update for NHTSA Recall 24V-700/Nissan Campaign R24B2, described as addressing battery overheating/fire risk during DC fast charging. On [redacted], while traveling at 70 mph on a flat highway with a 75 mph speed limit and cruise control engaged, the vehicle suddenly lost propulsion without advance warning and slowed to approximately 30 mph. It would not accelerate normally. My children were inside. This abrupt loss of speed...

created a serious rear-end collision risk. This is my [[redacted]] daughter's daily driver, and I am concerned about a novice driver experiencing the same failure. An immediate independent diagnostic scan showed P33ED-00 (HV Battery Parallel Diagnosis), P3180-97 and P317E-97. Battery telemetry showed SOH 88.51% and Hx 57.24%. I request investigation into whether a battery defect and/or the recall software caused this highway propulsion loss. These readings have not yet been evaluated by a Nissan dealer. On [redacted], Nissan Consumer Affairs/Roadside Assistance agents and supervisors refused complimentary towing from our residence, stating they would not accept third-party diagnostics and required dealer evaluation first. We were told to pay for towing or arrange transport ourselves. The vehicle remains at home with unresolved battery safety concerns. My daughter has lost her transportation; rental/loaner age restrictions prevent her from using a replacement. We still owe $12,158.09 on a vehicle that can not be driven because of a safety recall. I request NHTSA investigate the propulsion failure, adequacy of the R24B2 remedy and Nissan's refusal of towing assistance. I request Nissan provide safe flatbed transport, a permanent remedy and a vehicle buyback resolving the outstanding financing. Diagnostic records and recall service documentation are available.

The contact owns a 2015 Ford Escape.

The electronic charge port door locked up, which completely prevents access to the charge port unless you break the panel off. This component breaking is commonly-reported and Chevrolet does NOT offer a mechanical alternative. Repairs are covered by warranty, but when the warranty expires, I presume they will not cover it anymore. In that case, litigation might be necessary.
I own a 2026 Chevrolet Equinox that began experiencing driver-assistance system malfunctions following GM software update V662.20 on July 17, 2026. Since the update, the driver-side blind-spot warning indicator has repeatedly flashed or remained illuminated despite no vehicles or obstacles being present. This occurs both while driving and while stationary. The vehicle also previously experienced unintended steering-wheel vibration and steering intervention, pulling the vehicle as though correcting its lane...

position despite no apparent hazard. This created a safety concern because the vehicle attempted to influence steering unnecessarily. On November 4, 2026, I took the vehicle to an authorized Chevrolet dealership. The service advisor reinstalled available software updates, but the malfunction continued immediately after leaving the dealership. The unintended steering intervention has since stopped, but the false mirror warnings persisted. Through troubleshooting, I discovered that disabling the bicycle alert feature stopped the false warnings. However, reactivating the lane change alert caused the malfunction to return. Both features must now remain disabled to prevent the false alerts. The underlying cause remains unknown. I am concerned that factory-installed safety systems are malfunctioning and that I must disable two safety features to operate the vehicle without repeated false warnings. The vehicle is available for further inspection, and I have video evidence documenting the malfunction. I request that NHTSA investigate this potential safety defect and its apparent connection to the July 17, 2026 software update.
My steering went out and it's directly linked with the active recall but I am out of the recall zone. Recall 19S26
My main dash screen in my 2024 tiguan is dead (it won't turn on). I took it to the dealer and they told me that the infotainment module 5f is not working and it needs to be replaced, and it cost is near of $3000. But this type of failure happens in several vw models, and the warranty is up to 50,000 miles, and my report was at 56,000. How can I report it so that there is a record of this failure which has already been reported before? Can I make and other report to try to avoid the futures cosumers to select vw suv's
While driving my 2011 Ford Escape, the steering suddenly became extremely difficult to turn, almost to the point of being impossible. The engine continued running normally, and no warning lights or messages appeared on the dashboard. After stopping the vehicle and turning off the engine, I restarted it, and the steering returned to normal. However, while driving again, the same steering failure occurred a second time. Because of the dangerous and unpredictable nature of the failure, I contacted AAA and had the...

vehicle towed. The AAA tow driver informed me there had been a recall for this same thing. After researching the issue, I discovered Ford Safety Recall 14S05 (NHTSA Recall 14V284000), which addresses sudden loss of electric power steering assistance in certain 2008 through 2011 Ford Escapes. The symptoms described in that recall closely match what I experienced. I contacted Ford Motor Company's Customer Relationship Center and was informed that my VIN is not included in the recall. Ford opened a case and stated that the matter was escalated to its Automotive Safety Office. I was advised that I would need to pay for a dealership diagnosis, with no guarantee that Ford would cover the diagnostic fees or repairs. I am submitting this complaint because my vehicle experienced two sudden losses of power steering assistance while driving, without any dashboard warning. I am concerned that other 2011 Ford Escapes excluded from the original recall may be experiencing the same dangerous steering defect. I am requesting that NHTSA investigate whether the existing recall adequately covers all affected vehicles.

Steering wheel "sticks" while on a straight road, at highway speed, when making slight corrections from left to right. Problem appears to be getting worse requiring more force to overcome "sticking".

Frequent cylinder 2 misfires and loss of power with internal engine coolant leak. Coolant intrusion into cylinder 2.
From February 2025 to June 2026, I've had to have my car battery replaced 3 times. Before the battery dies, I normally lose all of my pre-programmed radio stations, have to increase the volume, and my car will take longer to start. I've brought this attention to a Subaru Dealership (where I go for all of my repairs) and was told that if this keeps occurring, they will have to send an engineer out to look at my vehicle as it passes the parasitic draw test.
2017 Ford Escape with the 2.0L Ecoboost Engine. Engine failed with the known coolant intrusion issue with only ~65,000 miles on it. Engine started misfiring, and the check engine light came on (solid, not blinking). No leaks under the vehicle. Within 2 days, the cabin lost heat while running the defroster on a cold morning. Brought vehicle to Ford dealer where it was diagnosed for low coolant (no external leaks) and then coolant was found inside cylinder 2. It was recommended that I replace the engine long block,...

and was told that the replacement long block no longer has the same issue as the original. The original engine could have failed and stopped operating while I was driving putting me, and others, in a dangerous situation, and could have potentially started a fire. I am by far not the only Escape owner experiencing this; the service advisor that I talked to at the dealer admitted that he has seen "a lot" of Escapes with this issue, and there is an ongoing class action lawsuit (see below): [redacted] . The lawsuit alleges, among other things, that Ford Motor Company: failed to disclose that these vehicles have a defect that causes coolant to leak into the engine's cylinders, which can cause corrosion, oil dilution and contamination, and engine failure; and failed to disclose these defects create a safety risk, because the lack of coolant created by the leaks causes overheating and can result in the cylinder head cracking, total engine failure, and/or engine fires.
