Further testing revealed that engine coolant had flooded into Cylinder...

The dealership technicians confirmed that both the cylinder head and the engine block deck are permanently warped due to extreme localized thermal stress.

There was a moving traffic violation of Texas Transportation Codes § 545.101 (Improper Turn) and § 545.060 (Failure to Maintain a Single Lane). I was going southbound on [[redacted]] and got in the [[redacted]] to turn right onto [[redacted]]. The robotaxi was in the innermost right turn lane. At this intersection, there is a very clear marking of what lanes you are allowed to turn into; the innermost turn lane is only allowed to turn into the right lane of [[redacted]]. However, the robotaxi turned into the middle lane, breaking Texas driving law.

Is available for inspection. Car would not start and lots of dash indicator lights turned on. Car seemed to have power as headlights worked fine and computer held power. Lots of clicking indicated starter was engaging and included an srs airbag system notice. A quick google search indicated a recall for this make and model but not my VIN. It described problema from humidity in cracked electrical systems and it did rain heavy throughout the night.

the vehicle to Huffines Hyundai Plano ([[redacted]]). Despite NHTSA ID [[redacted]] mandating an immediate Service Rental Car (SRC) or 3rd-party rental upon reception ("reimbursed regardless of PA's decision") and prohibiting diagnostic fees after Campaign 953/KSDS, the dealership refused a loaner, told me diagnosis would take a full week while I rent a car out of pocket, forced me to drive the unsafe vehicle in Limp Mode to take my disabled father to a medical appointment, and stranded us in the lobby for 7 hours (causing my father to miss scheduled prescriptions and failing to restore his disability placard). At 2:00 PM, the dealership claimed the vehicle "PASSED" the Bearing Clearance Test (BCT) without giving me the mandatory BCT printout or multi-point inspection sheet, cleared the P1326 code, performed a KSDS software update instead of inspecting the knocking engine, refused to record the mandatory STUI Engine Noise Video or submit a Warranty Prior Approval (PA), and tried to coerce me into signing a falsified Repair Order stating "CUSTOMER IS DECLINING DIAGNOSTICS." At 5:33 PM, HMA Executive Case Manager [[redacted]] ([[redacted]]) falsely stated in writing that TXXI is capped at 10 years/120,000 miles (confusing TXXC with TXXI), that T3G does not apply, and that passing BCT means "your rod bearings are in working order."

I opened the passenger door of my 2026 Rogue last night and the back window exploded out. There was no prior damage to my car. It was sitting in my driveway. When I opened the door I heard a pop and had no idea what it was until I saw glass in the driveway and looked at the window and there was literally a hole shattered out in the window.
The wiper system and washer sprayers, especially on the passenger side. There's an 8 inch path on the top of the wiper on the windshield. It does not clear away the dirt and salt and creates a visibility hazard. I took it to the dealer and they said normal all of them do it. It's very hazardous and it's a safety related issue. Honda needs put an additional sprayer on that location or install hood and mounted sprayers so that we are perfectly safe with visibility. This looks like a common problem on all the Honda CRV's.
Battery dies after car sitting for 1-3 days and requiring jumping to recharge. Parasitic tests have been inconclusive but issue remains. This is a safety issue where it's unclear when the vehicle will start and be usable.
Stellantis (FCA) has a recall for exactly this problem, Ram recall C4B, NHTSA campaign 24V-896. It covers certain 2017-2018 Ram 2500 and 3500 pickups, 3500 cab chassis, and 4500 and 5500 cab chassis trucks. It addresses failures in the hydraulic control unit (HCU) that affect ABS, electronic stability control and traction control. Parts shortages are widespread. Many 2017 owners have reported to NHTSA that they got the recall notice but the repair part wasn't available yet, and the manufacturer confirmed it was...

backordered. the truck cant be used due to the speedometer not working and the trailer breaks not working. the dealer confirmed that the abs module has failed and i cant use my truck and its been backordered for several years. this is completely unacceptable.
Engine mounts allowed engine to move excessively, causing a cracked radiator.
I recently refueled my 2014 Corvette and when I put the car in the garage it was leaking fuel causing a concentrated fuel vapor. I have since found that the fuel filler hose connector to the drivers tank had a crack in it. Obviously this is not a safe situation. In determining the situation I found that GM had a replacement program if this problem presents itself within 10 years or 120,000 miles. In my case it did not. Early customers that had this issue and before GM created the repair adjustment the dealers where...

charging $2000.00 with the fuel tank costs. Since then they have decided to Capitalize on this safety hazard by increasing the price of the tanks upwards of $2K and up to $6K for the replacement job. Additionally anyone else you might go to are telling customers they have to find a replacement tank because they cant. One more caveat of this situation is that many of these cars cannot be put outside until a new fuel tank is leveraged. Capitalizing on a safety issue unrcontionable. I went to GM's customer service center and they refused to help. So here I am, [[redacted]] 6 weeks into a leaking Saddle tank and the only help i'm getting is a hyped up service quote of 300% on keeping their customers safe.

Twin Falls Subaru said those repairs weren't covered under warranty and I had to pay $3000 out of pocket, SOA covered the remaining $5100. I picked it up 10/13/26, (on 10/16/26, three days later my check engine light came on along with the AT oil temp and transmission flashing on the dash, the diagnostic codes I received were P0700 P0841 P0890, Subaru Of America paid to have my vehicle towed back to the dealership where they said I needed a new transmission, but they weren't covering it because my warranty had expired 14 days prior (on 10/2/26), during the time it was getting the first repairs done, they claimed that the two incidents had nothing to do with one another. The DPSM claims a transmission pressure switch failure that flooded the wiring harness with fluid is 'unrelated' to the transmission total collapse 72 hours later. They

[[redacted]] and the passenger was laughing while looking at me and they made a right turn down [[redacted]] and I called the police and they came within 2 minutes. It was 2 male officers one Mexican and the other white and I reported them for police misconduct because of their discrimination against me verbally calling me fat, ugly and saying I smell. They also didn't file a police report and claimed I didn't meet criteria which isn't true because my right knee and left calf are bruised and swollen and I have memory loss as well as emotional stress.

While driving at approximately 35 mph, the vehicle encountered a pothole in the roadway. Upon impact, the driver's side steering wheel airbag deployed. However, the airbag experienced a catastrophic structural failure. Instead of inflating normally to protect the driver, the airbag fabric immediately ruptured, tore open, and "fizzled out" without providing any restraint cushion. A loud pop was heard, and there was powdery chemical residue in the cabin
Vehicle deemed unsafe with no remedy.
The headrest foam on my Evenflo Revolve360 Slim car seat (manufactured February 2023) is breaking apart and separating from the seat shell, even though I completed the remedy for Recall 25C010. In September 2025, after receiving the recall tape kit, I called Evenflo and told the representative the foam was already deteriorating and no longer adhering to the shell. I was told the tape would adequately fix it. I applied the tape as instructed. The foam has since continued to fail. It is now in several broken pieces,...

a large section has detached from the shell, and the black comfort foam near the harness area is also crumbling. The failed component is the EPS headrest foam, which Evenflo itself describes as the part that absorbs shock to protect the child. With the foam broken and no longer attached, I do not believe it can perform as designed in a crash. I also cannot confirm that the seat will stay intact for its stated 10-year service life. No crash has occurred. Because of the seat's condition, I have stopped using it and no longer consider it safe for my child. I contacted Evenflo in writing and sent photos. They responded that the seat is safe to use, that taping is an option, and that the 90-day warranty applies. They did not offer a replacement or any inspection of the seat. They also could not locate my earlier call. The seat has not been inspected by anyone else. I still have the seat and it is available for inspection on request. I am requesting that NHTSA review whether the recall remedy is adequate for seats where the foam has already begun to break down.
I brought my car to Firestone at [[redacted]] ri. When I picked up my car the mechanic handed me a lug nut from my car. He said he over tightened it and it broke off. I asked if it was safe to drive and he said yes you have 4 other bolts on it you don't need it. Then he said during the repair he can't seem to take the key out of the ignition. He said it just needs to be driven and the safety feature would reset. So I left with my car and after a day and a half I called Firestone left a message that the key still...

won't reset and the car is making noise in the front. After a month they finally got back to me. Meanwhile I stopped using my car. it has been over a month since I've had my car. The store manager agreed that if I towed it in, he would pay for the tow and fix my wheel hub and get it back into running shape. He said he would call me in a day or two when it was done four days later I got a call from the insurance adjuster, saying all offers are off the table. We're going to open a claim. Meanwhile, my car is parked in their parking lot with the key inside and it's unlocked I sent 18 emails and the adjuster will not get back to me after I gave him everything he asked for I calls left messages. I'm scared about my car being vandalized or stolen. I don't know what to do. They sent me off driving without a lug nut. When after it started making a lot of noise my Machanic that I know came over there were two bolts, totally missing and two others you could turn by hand. It was hanging on by one lug nut. He completely stripped all my lug nuts and that's why I sent it back to Firestone for them to fix now I can't get a response and I'm worried that they're gonna do this to other people and it is just very concerning. I'm out of a car I've put in a form to the Attorney General and this was the second step I was told to do. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)
ECM power failure. Will not accelerate.
My vehicle started losing power and I attempted to accelerate but the SUV stopped moving. My girlfriend immediately put on the hazard ️ lights because a tractor trailer truck was coming up from behind us. I was able to coast over to the shoulder.
I started having problems almost immediately. The screen would turn blue. The radio would come on in another language. Then came the body-panel issues, water intrusion, vibration, steering and suspension concerns, the truck going into four-wheel drive without me commanding it, noises during turns and acceleration, the steering wheel pulling, problems with the instrument cluster, Uconnect messages and repeated electronic issues. The body panels kept shifting. Eventually they began contacting each other and damaging...

themselves. The mileage intervals between required body panel re-alignments progressively collapsed over time - from 8,886 miles to 12,522 mi to 13,804 mi and then 14,030 mi. At one point it locked into four-wheel drive while we were driving and had to be towed. I sent information I had found while researching issues involving trucks manufactured during the same timeframe. They dismissed it and then torqued the frame bolts to OEM specification, but despite my requests, I was never provided documentation showing that the frame or structure had actually been measured first. After this most recent repair, I grounded the vehicle at the dealership and started putting the records together. I obtained concealed Inv's showing my vehicle identified as non-conformant 15 months earlier. I started comparing that documentation with what I had been told and what appeared on other repair records. I found pre-purchase documents, including multiple concealed pre-sale electrical repair records and Safety Recall 97B (NHTSA Campaign 24V-794) labeled on consumer facing documents as "brakes". I am recovering from cervical spine surgery and have experienced significant symptoms my doctors could not explain, yet my medical documentation repeatedly stated symptoms were worse while driving. whole-body vibration has been confirmed by my doctor as matching my unusual symptoms. And a manufacturer field technician who performed an unapproved software flash while the vehicle is grounded.
