P0101 engine code, sudden loss of power, multiple dashboard warning lights- ABS, traction control, head on collision when in winding rods or braking suddenly. Vehicle loses power end up having to turn off and on to reset it. Dangerous on highways ir roads that you cannot pull over. I bought this car in Sept 2026 and it has had this issue about 10 times since then. I am putting the most recent date

While driving the car it gave a "Critical Electrical Failure" error message and slowed. It said to stop when safe. When stopped, it would no longer move. The screen was unresponsive. It could not be put into neutral so it could be pushed out of the way.
The contact owns a 2020 Cadillac XT6. The contact stated that while idling at a stoplight, the vehicle experienced a loss of motive power. The contact stated that multiple attempts were required to restart the vehicle. During the failure, the transmission failed to shift into neutral, and the check engine warning light illuminated. The contact researched and discovered NHTSA Campaign Number: 20V639000 (Fuel System, Gasoline) and associated the failure with the recall. The vehicle was taken to the dealer; however,...

the dealer could not determine the cause of the failure because the check engine warning light was no longer illuminated. The manufacturer was notified of the failure, and it was confirmed that the VIN was not included in the recall. The failure mileage was approximately 88,000.
Since 2023, my Subaru ascent has continually experienced a slip while accelerating. The vehicle jerks while gaining speed. The gas pedal often does not accelerate the vehicle when pressed as well. This has continually worsened over time though the dealership has seen the vehicle a few times. When I filed a Subaru Customer Advocacy complaint I was denied assistance saying "it was my fault" -to drive my car!

My truck will not start a couple time each month. I have to wait 10mins each time before my truck will start. This is very dangerous because it makes me late for important meetings and events. Can you disarm this feature PLEASE it happens several times
My car would not shut off and left running in the driveway for about 3-4 hours. The car would not shift into gears and began making clicking sounds under the hood. When opening the hood the noise became louder and car began to catch on fire. Requiring me to call emergency services but I was able to contain the fire with my garden hose. The fire department and police had to manually disconnect my car to maintain safety.
The passenger occupant sensor failed and was repaired under a recall, performed by a Tesla technician at my home on July 28, 2020. On February 3rd 2021 the same dashboard warning returned, and Tesla replaced the entire passenger seat. The warning returned a third time on October 5, 2026. The first available service appointment was October 29, a 24-day wait, during which the passenger airbag system could not be relied on to detect an occupant. On October 29, Tesla also replaced the passenger airbag. Tesla has not...

given me a written diagnostic explanation for the airbag replacement, or confirmation of why the recall remedy consisting in a matched sensor/airbag combination has to be paid for by the customer. I am concerned that the recall remedy did not hold, failing three times, and that a safety-critical system was left in question for nearly four weeks. I have 20 years of experience in automotive seating and am willing to provide records. Records available: service invoices, estimate, and written communications with Tesla.
REPEATED A/C SYSTEM FAILURES - DEFECTIVE EVAPORATOR, RECURRING WINDSHIELD FOGGING, AND IMPAIRED DRIVER VISIBILITY My 2020 Honda Civic LX has experienced three separate air-conditioning system failures in approximately two years of ownership. Previous repairs involved the A/C condenser and compressor. On October 16, 2026, Chula Vista Honda diagnosed another refrigerant leak, this time involving the A/C evaporator. These repeated failures raise serious concerns about the reliability of the vehicle's air-conditioning...

system and its role in maintaining adequate windshield visibility during normal driving conditions. Since the latest A/C failure, I have experienced recurring windshield and window fogging while driving. The problem is particularly concerning because the air-conditioning system assists with removing moisture from the cabin air, helping the windshield defogging system clear condensation from the glass. When the A/C system loses refrigerant and stops functioning properly, its ability to dehumidify the air may be reduced, potentially making windshield fogging more difficult to control under certain weather conditions. These fogging episodes have occurred on multiple occasions since the latest A/C failure. I am concerned about the potential for reduced forward and side-window visibility, particularly during cooler temperatures, humid conditions, and periods when condensation develops on the glass. Windshield fogging presents a serious safety concern because it can interfere with a driver's ability to identify pedestrians, cyclists, surrounding vehicles, traffic signals, and road hazards. Temporary obstruction of the windshield at highway speeds or while approaching intersections can increase the risk of a collision. Honda's vehicle operating instructions recognize the role of air conditioning in assisting with windshield defogging. A refrigerant leak that disables the A/C system can reduce its moisture-removal capability and may compromise effective win
Electronic power steering control module failure
During regular operation, the vehicle began running roughly, stalling at intersections, and triggering a 'Coolant Over-Temperature' warning alongside a Check Engine Light. A certified mechanic confirmed internal coolant intrusion into the engine cylinders - a documented defect in this model year. This defect causes unpredictable engine stalling and complete loss of motive power while driving. Operating a vehicle prone to sudden, unprovoked stalling in active traffic poses a severe safety hazard to myself, my passengers, and surrounding drivers."
While driving my 2024 Tesla Model Y, a slight right turn of the steering wheel caused the left front wheel to turn sharply to the right, appearing to reach its full steering angle, while the right front wheel did not turn similarly. The steering was difficult to return to center, with loud clicking/cracking noises. I pulled over safely and stopped driving. After getting out, I observed that the front wheels were pointing at noticeably different angles and recorded a video. The vehicle was unsafe to drive. I...

contacted Tesla service and arranged towing through Uber. The cause has not yet been diagnosed. I am concerned that this failure could cause loss of vehicle control, especially at highway speeds.
I was waiting at an incline and when I tried to go up a little more, my car rolled back instead. I then stepped on the break realizing the check engine light was on. I put the car in park and turned it off. I turned it on right after and it was fine and the check engine light was gone. Super dangerous, I believe the dealership sold me a lemon.
The check engine light illuminated on my dashboard when I was driving with my family. On 4 separate occasions as I was coming to a stop, the vehicle unexpectedly shut off (driving at about 5 MPH). When it shut off, it shifted itself into Park and the parking brake was auto-applied. On each of the incidents, I was able to manually restart the vehicle by pushing the ignition button and shifting it back into Drive.
Driving the freeway and heard a loud bang noise which was my sunroof. It started cracking the whole thing and just flew away the middle part of glass on freeway.
A 55,000 miles vehicle - escalated to a $10,000. repairs - Coolant Leakage and SOLENOID related issues - the mental duress and stress from a unreasonable cost and seriousness of repaire requireements as the car got just out of the warranty period.
ICCU failure after owning this brand new car for 14 hours. Odometer was under 200 miles when it failed and became inoperable. Hyundai has not fixed this ICCU problem and should be prohibited from selling these cars until the issue is fixed. The past recalls don't cover 2026 or 2027 model years, but obviously this is still a major problem
On the evening of [redacted], at my home in [[redacted]], my 2025 Tesla Model Y suffered a complete electrical failure that locked the vehicle with my infant son inside. When my wife went to take him out, the car would not unlock by any method. The Tesla app failed on two separate phones, the key card failed, and plugging in the vehicle did nothing. I called Tesla support and, after a long hold, reached a representative who was unable to unlock the car remotely. Tesla told us to call [[redacted]]. First responders...

arrived and could not open the doors with their techniques, so they had to break a window to get my son out. He was not injured. The vehicle is now at a Tesla service location. A vehicle that deadlocks itself while every override fails, including the manufacturer's own remote unlock, is a serious safety defect. In summer heat or a medical emergency this could have been fatal. I am asking NHTSA to investigate this failure.

CVT transmission. It cost more than the cost of the car for the tiny little transmission that fails so much. Toyota should get their fingers cut off for continuing to do this and intentionally abusing their customers. They must pay for this. At 100,000 mi a dealer quote for $13,000, is asinine and obnoxious for a manufacturer to intentionally knowingly abuse people this way. Horrible corporation. I hope you crash and the earth opens up and swallows you.
