2020 Chevrolet Bolt EVElectrical systemFuel system

My 2020 Chevrolet Bolt EV experienced a loss of propulsion that left the vehicle disabled in a parking lot. The vehicle initially displayed a motor-control system warning. It subsequently displayed "Drivetrain Power Lost" and refused to shift out of Park. After turning the vehicle off and waiting approximately five minutes, I restarted it. The READY indicator returned, and the vehicle shifted into Drive, but when I attempted to accelerate, it shuddered severely instead of moving normally. The service warning...

indicator remained illuminated. I stopped attempting to operate the vehicle because it was unsafe to drive. OnStar retrieved diagnostic trouble code P0A3F, associated with the drive motor position sensor circuit. Significantly, General Motors issued Technical Service Bulletin 19-NA-220 in May 2020, specifically covering loss of propulsion and DTC P0A3F in 2017-2020 Chevrolet Bolt EVs. Under the bulletin's "Cause" section, GM identifies a possible spread terminal in the X2 wiring harness connection on the transmission assembly. GM further states that the terminals may not have been properly aligned during installation at the vehicle assembly plant. The bulletin explains that this condition can cause loss of propulsion and prescribes replacement of the affected wiring harness. My vehicle's symptoms and diagnostic code closely match this documented condition. However, the precise cause has not yet been confirmed by a dealership inspection. I am reporting this incident because a potential factory-assembly defect that can cause unpredictable loss of propulsion presents a significant safety concern, particularly if it occurs while driving in traffic. I believe the connection between this incident and GM's previously documented condition warrants investigation into whether other Chevrolet Bolt EVs may be affected.

2021 Lincoln AviatorOther & unknown

The driver's side door latch assembly (Part Number LC5Z-54219A65-H) on my 2021 Lincoln Aviator with approximately 79,300 miles has begun intermittently failing to latch when the door is closed. This issue first started approximately three weeks ago. The driver's door often requires multiple attempts to close before the latch finally engages. When it does latch properly, a distinct loud click can be heard. Prior to that click, the door may appear closed but is not securely latched. This is a major safety concern...

because there is no reliable way to know whether the driver's door will remain closed while the vehicle is being operated. I am concerned that the door could unexpectedly open while driving, creating a serious risk of injury to the driver, passengers, and other motorists. I contacted my Lincoln dealership and was informed that the replacement door latch was on backorder. The dealership advised that there were approximately 80 other requests for the same part. This raises concerns that the issue may be more widespread than an isolated failure. The vehicle is scheduled for repair on November 6, 2026. I have been advised the repair will require the vehicle to remain at the dealership for more than one day. The vehicle was previously involved in a front-end collision; however, the damage was limited to the front bumper and related electronic components. There was no damage to the driver's door, door frame, latch assembly, or surrounding door structure. The current door latch failure developed long after the front-end repairs and appears unrelated to that accident. Because the driver's door latch is a critical safety component, I believe this condition warrants investigation. A door that does not consistently latch and remain secured during vehicle operation presents a significant safety hazard.

2022 Hyundai PalisadeOther & unknown

While driving last night, the front panoramic moonroof spontaneously shattered. There were three occupants in the vehicle at the time. We were on a two lane road and were accelerating after a stop sign when the glass suddenly shattered. There were no other vehicles in the immediate vicinity, and we did not observe or hear anything strike the glass. Fortunately, the interior sunshade was closed at the time of the incident, which prevented the shattered glass from falling directly into the passenger compartment. Had...

the sunshade been open, all three occupants could potentially have been exposed to falling glass and sustained injuries. We are having the vehicle assessed by a repair facility today and I have also contacted our insurance company regarding the incident. I am reporting this incident because the unexpected shattering of a panoramic moonroof while a vehicle is in operation presents a significant safety concern. The potential for shattered glass to enter the passenger compartment and injure occupants is particularly concerning. I believe this incident warrants documentation and review to determine whether there may be a vehicle or component safety defect.
