I-270 in Maryland. The vehicle suddenly stopped accelerating in the middle lane. She activated the hazard lights and managed to move into a nearby parking lot. She was frightened and did not feel safe driving home. This exposed her and other motorists to a potentially dangerous situation. The October 29, 2026 dealership invoice documents a flashing check-engine light, limp mode, and inability to exceed approximately 35 mph. P1326 was recorded as pending. Another BCT under TSB 26-EM-014H passed, and a three-mile road test was performed. The code did not return during that test. However, the dealership did not identify the cause of the repeated loss of acceleration. Its request for engine replacement was declined because "no engine malfunction has been identified." Hyundai has confirmed the vehicle's TXXM warranty extension (15 years/150,000 miles, subject to terms) and completion of Service Campaign 966. Despite the repeated incidents, neither Hyundai nor the dealership has provided a satisfactory explanation of the underlying problem or a written, vehicle-specific safety determination. I am not claiming that an engine defect has been conclusively established. I am asking NHTSA to investigate the repeated sudden loss of propulsion and potential safety defect in 2019 Hyundai Tucson vehicles equipped with the 2.0L Nu GDI engine.

active roadway left-turn lane, bringing the vehicle to an abrupt, uncommanded halt and exposing occupants to an immediate risk of rear-end collision. The false parking detection errors have recurred repeatedly in active middle lanes at traffic stops. Additionally, the central infotainment display frequently blacks out and freezes, requiring multiple manual hard resets per day to restore vehicle functions. The vehicle was grounded at an authorized franchised dealership for 5 days. The dealer replaced the central infotainment control module (J794) and cited manufacturer Technical Service Bulletin (TSB) 94-22-02 regarding false sensor warnings, documenting that no further mechanical or software repair was available. Within one week of picking up the vehicle following that repair attempt, the defect recurred four separate times in active traffic conditions. The manufacturer was formally notified of the safety hazard and issued a written denial of repurchase or replacement. All components remain in the vehicle in their failed state and are available for inspection upon request.

came to find out my car needs a new engine. There has been serveral Class Action Law Suit for the Emission problem with this vehicle. The car problem is causing me financial and mental distress; I add that I'm on SSDI, plus I'm on medication due to all these problems with my vehicle. It's making it very hard for me to take care of my day-to-day tasks in life. Wolf v. American Honda Wolf v. American Honda Motor Co., Inc. is a proposed consumer class action concerning alleged fuel dilution of engine oil in Honda vehicles equipped with 1.5-liter turbocharged direct-injection engines. Filed in 2022, it alleges that excessive gasoline can enter the crankcase, degrade the oil's lubricating properties, and contribute to drivability problems, premature wear, or engine failure. [[redacted]] Vehicles and alleged defect The complaint proposed a nationwide class covering 2019-2023 CR-Vs, 2019-2022 Civics, and 2018-2022 Accordsequipped with Honda's 1.5L turbo direct-injection engine. Plaintiffs allege that unburned gasoline passes the piston rings and mixes with the crankcase oil; excessive dilution allegedly reduces lubrication and can produce rising oil levels, gasoline odors, misfires, increased maintenance, engine wear, limp-mode operation, stalling, and potentially catastrophic failure. These remain plaintiffs' allegations rather than established findings of defect or liability. [[redacted]] INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)

estimate and indicated that the failure is not covered under warranty. I am concerned about the safety and reliability of the vehicle's rear suspension system and request that this incident be documented and investigated for a possible component defect or safety issue.

have experienced similar steering issues that did translate into incidents on this or similar make and model trucks which validates the concern is serious and prevalent. Truck is currently under repair at dealer.

eventually restarted. This malfunction created a potential safety hazard because the vehicle could not move when traffic conditions required me to proceed, potentially exposing me and other motorists to a rear-end collision or traffic obstruction. The vehicle and affected components are available for inspection upon request. The problem has not yet been reproduced or confirmed by a dealer. However, I have scheduled an appointment with an Acura dealership for diagnosis. The service department indicated that the potential causes could be a failing battery or defective starter, but neither has been confirmed. The vehicle has not yet been inspected by the manufacturer, police, insurance representatives, or other parties. Prior to the failure, I did not notice any warning lights or symptoms. The first indication of a problem was the engine failing to restart after Auto Idle Stop activated, followed by the dashboard displaying instructions to depress the brake and press the ENGINE START/STOP button.

still shook, I drove home, approximately two miles. I had to drive around 25 mph as the car appeared that it could not continue and was difficult to control. I was able to drive it home, and I pulled into my garage where I turned the engine off. The exact same symptoms occurred with my car in 2022, when it was determined that I had coolant leaking into my engine. I took it to the dealer who said that my car was over the warranty limits (88,000 miles on it, 5 years since I bought it new), and I would have to pay for a new engine. I was advised to call Ford Motor Company, and they paid $3,300 of a $5,500 engine replacement. I did not know that the new engine would have the exact same problem after only 35,000 miles later. The dealer, Green Ford, wants me to have $1,000 worth of work for a tune-up and coolant replenishment, for which they say I will be liable whether it works or not. They are not confident that these remedies will work. I do not see how it will work. Besides, Ford, and Green Ford concurs, that my car doesn't need a tune-up until 100,000 miles. They refuse to do a coolant pressure check without me paying an additional $200 for it. I believe that Ford Motor Co. sent the same type of defective engine to install in my car in 2022, and I understand that there are many others that have had the same problem. If they had sent a redesigned engine, it would not have the same problem after only 35,000 miles, and a tune-up after only 35,000 miles would INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)

away on the same day for next day repair. I will take the vehicle, with repaired seatbelt, into the Honda dealership today. The Rio Vista Chevrolet dealership noted: Performed further inspection and found the upper mounting bolt for the seat belt bracket had loosened. Inspected the bolt and mounting threads and found no visible damage. There were no warnings for this.

rain with my [[redacted]] daughter, the screen crashed, disabling GPS navigation. I almost lost control due to lack of orientation in hazardous weather and had to pull over on the highway shoulder to wait for a reboot, putting our lives at grave risk. On Tuesday, I returned to speak with the manager. He explicitly admitted they chose NOT to perform the recall because I had messaged that I needed my car for a medical appointment. When I stated I would take this matter to court, he showed complete disregard for the law and sneered, saying I could go to court if I wanted, but inside that dealership, he was the one in charge. He then verbally expelled me in front of staff and customers, shooing me like an animal. While doing so, he kept his hands behind his back in a suspicious, intimidating gesture, creating immediate fear that he was about to draw a firearm on me. I left fearing for my life. REQUESTED ACTION: Federal law mandates prompt recall remedies. Sentry Ford concealed non-completion of a critical safety recall - causing a life-threatening highway situation - and physically intimidated a consumer. I request NHTSA to: Formally investigate Sentry Ford of Medford for recall non-compliance and hazardous negligence. Apply full regulatory sanctions. Ensure my vehicle's recall is safely performed by a compliant facility. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)

active Stellantis Recall 03D (NHTSA Campaign Number 26V-059). However, because my vehicle's build date falls just outside the current recall window, the dealership cannot simply replace the part. Instead, they are forced to run repetitive diagnostic tests. We have been running these identical diagnostic loops since June with zero improvement. The dealership's hands are tied by the VIN system, but common sense dictates that these tests keep leading right back to the exact same manufacturing defect detailed in the recall. NHTSA needs to investigate and force Stellantis to update and expand the 26V-059 recall parameters to include later 2026 build dates so dealerships can immediately repair this known hardware failure without wasting months in diagnostic loops.

the dangerous fault, and agreed that the vehicle is currently malfunctioning. The word "major" appears on the intake service order. Additionally a restaurant also witnessed the explosion of sound where passenger screams were witnessed and the restaurant tried to call back to confirm safety. The radio comes on automatically outside of Bluetooth even when manually shut off. This malfunction started on day 2 and occurred even after disconnecting phone from the car. The seat moves forward when exiting the vehicle instead of sliding back. And the critically dangerous Bluetooth device electrical should not override the car volume immediately jumping to 100 max volume when unlocking a cell phone. This car should not turn on music that was previously manually shut off. And it should never blast 100 volume through its speakers when the phone is bumped, locked, unlocked or just picked up. This is a severe safety hazard and should not have been allowed to be taken onto the streets or highway. This was a physically harmful experience that will be evaluated by an Audiologist. This was a highly dangerous and mentally stressful situation when the Bluetooth could not be manually bypassed. We need a safe car as this one is a malfunctioning lemon. Electric infotainment malfunction confirmed and duplicated by Nissan.
