2021 Tesla Model Y 5-Seat Electrical system Acceleration & cruise control Driver assistance

I am reporting a potential safety defect in my 2021 Tesla Model Y, currently showing 47,582 miles, involving electrical, software, and driver-assistance systems. Problems began around August 2026. By September 10, 2026, automatic high beams were malfunctioning. Diagnostic alerts dated October 15-16, 2026, indicated Autosteer unavailable and adaptive-headlight failures. Autopilot becomes unavailable, nighttime visibility is affected, and software updates repeatedly stall at approximately 50%. On October 16, 2026,...

Service Mode showed a CRITICAL Secondary Autopilot ECU fault. Tesla Sterling subsequently identified computer reboot-loop faults and recommended approximately $2,700 in computer replacement without conclusively establishing whether software or hardware caused the failure. Tesla Tysons also reviewed vehicle logs but reported that existing faults prevented further remote diagnosis. An independent former Tesla technician indicated that typical computer failures can involve overheating or camera malfunctions. Neither symptom is present, and cameras function while parked. I am concerned that these safety-related failures may be associated with an incomplete software update. Tesla has been notified, but the root cause remains unresolved. The vehicle is available for inspection. I request that NHTSA investigate potential systemic software and Autopilot computer defects, examine similar complaints, and determine whether a safety recall or manufacturer-funded corrective action is warranted.

2026 Honda CR-V Engine & cooling

I am the lessee of a 2026 Honda CR-V with approx. 7310 miles. Since early in the lease, the infotainment display has repeatedly frozen, glitched, and gone completely black, mostly on longer drives. When this happens while driving, I lose access to navigation. I have a video recording of one of the failures. I have also noticed an oil leak, documented with photos, which the dealer has not found or repaired. I first reported the infotainment problem to Visalia Honda on 9.21.26; the dealer kept the car and could not...

duplicate it, then later told me the problem was known for this vehicle. On 9/30/2026 a case manager from American Honda left me a voice message citing that they are aware of the issue that engineers are currently working on this issue with no known fix at this time, so they recommended replacing the system so that a possible fix could be had. Honda's technical line then denied the replacement and blamed my phones. The problem remains unresolved.

and just had it towed to a mechanic to see how much they want. We should not have to pay anything if this a common fail on jeep. Vehicle is still financed with the dealership and ive been paying for a car I cannot even drive. Its rediculous.

2016 Ford EscapeOther & unknown

Ever since before the date of issuance of recall 25v695 for my rear view camera, I have had numerous incidents of the camera failing or being completely distorted. It has been over a year and is becoming a significant safety issue because there have been times where it has been working while reversing, and then will suddenly not work midway through backing up. This can easily cause a crash by working and then suddenly not working while reversing. I don't understand why other vehicles under this recall have had a remedy, yet I have not heard anything about a potential fix in over a year.

2009 Nissan MuranoOther & unknown

the Nissan Murano Rear Crossmember was rusted through and broke barely 1 and half years after buying it .and many people have that complaint. It is a serious issue and should be addressed

2023 GMC Sierra 1500 Brakes Driver assistance

own a 2023 GMC Sierra AT4 equipped with the 3.0L Duramax diesel engine and 10-speed automatic transmission. Within the past seven days, my truck has experienced two extremely dangerous incidents while traveling approximately 70-80 mph. Without warning or driver braking input, the vehicle suddenly experienced severe braking or wheel lockup, causing the tires to skid approximately 10-15 feet before releasing and allowing the truck to continue driving normally. Cruise control was not engaged during the most recent...

incident. I am concerned about a potentially catastrophic safety defect. I am aware of GM recall 24V797 involving unexpected rear-wheel lockup on certain earlier-model diesel trucks, and I request that GM investigate whether my vehicle is experiencing a similar transmission-related failure or an electronic braking malfunction. I am requesting immediate involvement from GM technical assistance, a documented safety investigation, and a written explanation of the findings before the vehicle is returned to service

2015 Ford Escape Driver assistance

Safety Recall 25V695 has still remained unresolved. My rear camera randomly fails and reports a problem.

2018 Ford Escape Transmission & drivetrain Engine & cooling Fuel system

I purchased a used 2018 Ford Escape SE equipped with the 1.5L EcoBoost engine on June 26, 2026. The vehicle currently has approximately 55,088 miles. While driving, I experienced a check-engine warning light after accelerating. The warning light subsequently began flashing while the vehicle was moving and would become solid when stopped or idling. The vehicle also developed noticeable engine shaking and rough operation, particularly when stopped at traffic lights with the transmission in Drive. The shaking is...

significantly reduced when the transmission is shifted into Park. The vehicle displayed diagnostic trouble code P0302, indicating a cylinder 2 misfire. I also noticed that acceleration was not as responsive as expected, requiring additional time to gain speed. Upon inspecting the engine compartment, I observed that the coolant level appeared low. These symptoms raise safety concerns because the vehicle may experience reduced engine performance or potentially lose power while driving, particularly during acceleration or when merging into traffic. I stopped operating the vehicle because of concerns about further mechanical damage and driving safety. According to the vehicle's service history, the engine short block was replaced on August 3, 2021, at approximately 28,170 miles. The service history also indicates subsequent cooling-system maintenance. I am concerned that the current misfire and apparent coolant loss may be related to an internal engine or cooling-system defect, including possible coolant intrusion, although the underlying cause has not yet been confirmed. The vehicle has not yet undergone a complete diagnostic inspection by a Ford dealership or independent repair facility for this incident. An experienced mechanic familiar with these engines expressed concern about possible internal engine failure based on the symptoms described, but no physical testing has confirmed that assessment. The vehicle remains parked and is available for inspection

My vehicle has been affected twice in rhe last 6 months. Honda/Acura are aware of this design flaw and should recall these vehicles and add a protective covering

2025 Acura Integra Wheels & tires

A total of six rims have gotten bent in two separate incidents and had to be replaced after encountering and striking some road hazards. The first time, I was unable to avoid some lane dividers and the wheel/tire struck the base of the divider. I immediately noticed a strong vibration. Took the car to the dealer and they determined three of my wheels were bent. Two had to be replaced and one was repaired. The second incident, I was unable to avoid a manhole junction box that had a two inch raised lip. Again, I...

immediately could feel very strong vibrations. Took the the car to the dealer and all four wheels were bent and had to be replaced. I think issue either stems from a structurally defective wheel or the tire/wheel combo. The stock tires that come on the rims have very short sidewalls and provide almost no cushion or protection from road hazards. I replaced everything but still have the last set of tires/wheels that were damaged.

2023 Cadillac Escalade Engine & cooling

The motor is making lots of weird noises and idling weird. This motor was replaced due to the L87 motor recall and sounds like it's going to fail again.

2025 Nissan Rogue Electrical system Driver assistance

I am reporting an unresolved safety defect in my 2025 Nissan Rogue SL AWD (VIN: [[redacted]]). Since [redacted], the digital instrument cluster has intermittently gone completely black for approximately 5-10 seconds during nighttime driving, particularly when the cluster brightness is reduced. During these incidents, the speedometer, warning indicators, and other critical driving information become unavailable. I have directly observed Intelligent Cruise Control disengage during these incidents. Other...

driver-assistance features, including Forward Collision Warning and Automatic Emergency Braking, appear unavailable, although I cannot independently confirm whether their underlying functions are affected. The problem generally does not occur during daytime driving when the cluster brightness is not reduced. I brought the vehicle to McGavock Nissan of [[redacted]] on [redacted], and [redacted]. The instrument cluster was replaced under warranty, but the malfunction continued. The dealership subsequently reproduced and documented the problem, and Nissan engineering became involved. On [redacted], I experienced a near-collision in [[redacted]]. No impact or injury occurred. Despite four dealership visits, the defect remains unresolved. Nissan initially reported that a replacement part was backordered without an estimated arrival date. In its latest communication, Nissan stated that it was still working to get the part released for repairs, without providing a repair date. I am concerned that losing the speedometer and warning indicators during nighttime driving, together with the observed cruise-control disengagement, creates a serious safety risk. I request that NHTSA investigate this recurring defect and determine whether other Nissan Rogue vehicles may be affected.

2019 Nissan Altima Engine & cooling

Nissan Corporate has opened Case#57208422 but is refusing to remedy the safety defect because they claim the recall paperwork was previously closed. I received a recall notice and took my 2019 Nissan Altima 2.0 VC Turbo to Whites Auto Mall in Hopkinsville, KY on May 15 2026 to have it checked. The recall was a NHTSA Safety Recall Campaign 25V437 (VC-Turbo Engine Failure).

was "Branded". Just recently been having code P11AB to appear in the car and it goes in to limp mode. I took the car to a mechanic he said it had metal shavings in the oil/oil pan and this was and this was directly pointed to the recall. I called Nissan Customer Affairs and started Case#57208422 and they told me it was not covered since the recall had been done and it was closed. I told them that the NHTSA mandates that the recall needs to be fixed and that it is a "Safety Recall" that is a safety concern. I am reaching out for help of resolving this issue and having Nissan to stand behind this Safety Recall.
