2025 Tesla Model YOther & unknown

1. What component or system failed or malfunctioned, and is it available for inspection upon request? The windshield glass on my 2025 Tesla Model Y cracked twice. The first windshield was replaced by Tesla in March 2026 after the issue was attributed to stress. The replacement windshield cracked again in September 2026, approximately within six months.

obstruct the driver's visibility and potentially compromise the structural integrity of the vehicle, creating a safety risk for the driver and passengers. I am concerned about the repeated windshield failures, especially because the second crack occurred shortly after Tesla replaced the original windshield. 3. Has the problem been reproduced or confirmed by a dealer or independent service center? Tesla Service inspected the original windshield in March 2026 and replaced it at no cost, identifying the initial crack as stress-related. The second crack occurred in September 2026. Tesla provided an estimate of approximately $1,400 for another replacement. I have not received a definitive technical explanation for the second crack. 4. Has the vehicle or component been inspected by the manufacturer, police, insurance representatives or others? Yes. Tesla Service inspected the vehicle when the first windshield cracked in March 2026 and replaced it due to stress. Tesla Service has also evaluated the second windshield damage and provided a replacement estimate of approximately $1,400. No police inspection has been conducted. 5. Were there any warning lamps, messages or other symptoms of the problem prior to the failure, and when did they first appear? No warning lights, dashboard messages, or other vehicle warnings appeared before either windshield cracked. Both incidents involved visible cracks in the windshield without prior warning from the vehicle.

2018 Toyota Highlander Transmission & drivetrain

My vehicle began making a faint whine noise at around 80k miles. The vehicle is now at around 112,000 miles and the whine is louder. On cold morning the vehicle is sluggish in lower gears when accelerating. After extensive research I've found that the associated whine is related to the Toyota UA80 transmission.

2024 GMC Canyon Transmission & drivetrain Engine & cooling Driver assistance

2003 Toyota Camry Acceleration & cruise controlCrash

On [redacted] in [[redacted]], my well-maintained 2003 Toyota Camry LE (69,019 miles) experienced Sudden Unintended Acceleration (SUA). After stopping with my foot on the brake, I shifted into reverse without touching the accelerator.

Diagnostic Trouble Codes (DTCs). I filed Toyota Claim #[redacted]. On [redacted], Toyota's contractor, Engineering Analysis Associates (EAA), inspected the car and read the EDR at Peruzzi Toyota. On [redacted], Toyota denied my claim, finding no mechanical defect and noting an aftermarket floor mat over the OEM mat. Toyota's denial ignores key facts: (1) The aftermarket mat has a heavy nibbed rubber backing, cannot slide, sits well clear of the pedals, and never trapped the accelerator. (2) As proven in Bookout v. Toyota, transient ETCS-i software freezes ("task death") hold the throttle open without setting fault codes and self-clear when turned off, while an open throttle depletes engine vacuum and starves the power brakes. (3) Toyota excluded 2002-2004 Camrys from its Brake Override System software updates. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)

2016 Jeep Patriot Engine & cooling

Within seconds of starting the vehicle's engine, I experience sudden, intense fatigue and a severe sensation that I am about to immediately fall asleep. This is a recurring issue that has happened multiple times upon vehicle startup. Additionally, this exact symptom has occurred a couple of times dynamically while actively driving the vehicle after a period of time. The physical impairment is severe and long-lasting. Even after opening all the vehicle windows and completely exiting the car into the open air, the heavy exhaustion, sleepiness, and physical fatigue linger for more than 15 minutes.

I own a 2025 Tesla Model Y, currently running software version 2026.38.5.12 with Full Self-Driving (Supervised) v14.3.13.

The system initiates these exits late and aggressively, steering toward the double yellow lines that separate the HOV lane from...

regular traffic, and I have had to grab the wheel and take control to avoid an unsafe and illegal maneuver. I am concerned the vehicle could cross the double yellow lines into fast-moving traffic, or exit the HOV lane at a non-designated opening, creating a serious risk of collision. A driver should not have to fight the car to keep it from breaking traffic law. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)

There was no safety risk as it was safely off the road in a parking lot. There were no warning lights or further indications of the concern other than the incident of no-start itself.

other than the binding itself. I am making this report only because this seems so be a greater concern for the vehicle based on research and wanted it reflected in the record. It is a safety issue as steering components are critical. Thank you.

2024 GMC Sierra 1500 Transmission & drivetrain

While driving at interstate speed and occasionally at lower speeds, the truck will jump out of Drive and go into neutral. A very brief message appears in the instrument panel "service traction control" and the check engine light comes on. You then have to stop the truck and turn it off in order to resume driving! If you only stop and put the truck in park without turning it off it will drive but only in 1st gear and will not shift higher.
