2024 Jeep Grand CherokeeAcceleration & cruise control

acceleration capability while driving, particularly at highway speeds. The vehicle becomes unable to accelerate beyond approximately 60 mph, even when I press the accelerator further. The engine does not respond normally to additional accelerator input. The exact cause has not been identified. I suspect an issue involving the powertrain, hybrid propulsion system, or electronic throttle controls, but this has not been confirmed by a technician. Also, I did see on Carvana's website where I purchased the vehicle,...

that there was a recall for vehicle loss of power - 78C. The vehicle is available for inspection upon request. Plug-In charge also not working/unable to charge. This malfunction creates a potentially dangerous situation while driving on highways. When the vehicle unexpectedly loses the ability to accelerate, I cannot safely increase speed to merge into traffic, pass other vehicles, change lanes, or respond to changing traffic conditions. The problem occurs without warning, leaving me unable to predict when the vehicle will stop responding normally to the accelerator. I have reported the acceleration problem to AXIS Jeep, an authorized Jeep dealership in [[redacted]]. The dealership kept my vehicle for an extended period but advised that technicians were unable to duplicate the condition or identify any diagnostic trouble codes. As a result, the underlying cause has not been diagnosed or repaired. The vehicle has been inspected by AXIS Jeep, an authorized Jeep dealership. I also opened a case with Jeep/Stellantis Customer Care, case number [redacted]. The manufacturer has been informed of the recurring acceleration problem and the unsuccessful dealership evaluation. I requested a manufacturer buyback because of the ongoing safety concerns. Stellantis declined that request and offered further diagnostic attempts. There were no dashboard warning lights or error messages before or during the acceleration incidents. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)

2017 Hyundai Santa FEEngine & cooling

I am submitting a complaint regarding engine oil consumption in my 2017 Hyundai Santa Fe Sport 2.4L 4-cylinder with approximately 117,000 miles. The vehicle consumes approximately one quart of engine oil every 5,000 miles during normal operation. There are no visible oil leaks or noticeable exhaust smoke. I am concerned that the engine may be consuming oil internally due to a possible defect involving the piston rings, valve seals, or another internal engine component. The exact cause has not been professionally...

diagnosed. Excessive oil consumption creates a safety concern because low engine oil levels can lead to inadequate lubrication, sudden engine failure, or loss of engine power while driving, potentially putting the driver and other motorists at risk. The condition has not yet been formally confirmed by a dealership or independent repair facility. The vehicle has not undergone a formal manufacturer or third-party inspection specifically for this issue. The engine is available for inspection upon request. There are currently no check-engine warning lights or diagnostic trouble codes. No visible smoke or external oil leaks have been observed. The primary symptom is the gradual loss of engine oil during normal driving. I am requesting that NHTSA document and investigate this condition to determine whether it may be related to an engine defect affecting Hyundai vehicles equipped with the 2.4L engine.

2026 Hyundai Palisade HybridAcceleration & cruise controlBrakes

There is significant delay when I step on the brakes and then there's delay when I switch to press the gas pedal delaying the moving of the car. This happens often in local roads when at a stop and moving forward. I brought to the dealer to check and they said it's how the car is but have no fix on it. Many times when I expect the car to move after pressing the gas pedal, there's a delay of few seconds then the car starts to move. This concerns me a lot as it's a safety issue.

2024 Volkswagen ID.4Electrical systemFuel system

Volkswagen offered an optional temporary 80% battery charge limit in the myVW app under recall 93EX (NHTSA 26V630).

email by its November 4, 2026 deadline. The 80% limit substantially reduces usable range and the vehicle no longer covers my commute without an extra charging stop of about 30 minutes. Volkswagen has no permanent remedy date for this recall. Requested action: NHTSA should require Volkswagen to honor recorded owner declines, restore control to owners who said no, and explain how many declined vehicles were overridden.

2022 Volkswagen TiguanEngine & cooling

I am having an engine oil consumption issue while I was in warranty and now being a few thousand miles out of warranty. Volkswagen states having to top off a quart of oil within 600 miles is tolerable. I have had to top off the oil 6 times between oil changes so far. The dealership states that VW of USA denies any repairs and there hands are tied. They know it's a cylinder head issue but since the issue is not catastrophic (engine seized or more than a quart burning) they will not fix it.
