The steering wheel has become extremely stiff and difficult to turn, making it very difficult to steer the vehicle in either direction (left or right). This occurs while the engine is running and the vehicle is in operation. The steering issue makes it extremely difficult to control the vehicle, especially when making turns. This creates a serious safety hazard and significantly increases the risk of an accident. I believe this is a potentially dangerous steering system defect that needs immediate investigation.
Driving down the road and the digital instrument cluster went out. Newer Kia carnivals have a recall on this but my 2022 is doing it. I can't see speed, rpm, blinkers, high beam indicator, gas gauge, notifications or anything
The car started creating a loud popping, gunshot sound while driving. We believe based on our own research that the issue may be due to a failed control module in the amplifier randomly sending out max voltage to all the speakers. This issue is extremely unsafe while driving and could have caused serious injuries not only to us but other drivers and are kids in the car as well.
I am filing a safety complaint regarding my 2022 GMC Sierra 1500 Limited Denali equipped with the 6.2L L87 V8 engine. My vehicle has developed a persistent engine knocking noise that becomes more noticeable as the engine reaches operating temperature. The knocking continues despite completion of the applicable engine recall work. I am concerned that this condition may be related to the premature internal engine failures associated with the GM 6.2L L87 engine. The continued knocking raises concerns about a...

possible connecting rod bearing or other internal engine component failure. A sudden engine failure while driving could cause an unexpected loss of propulsion, creating a serious safety hazard, particularly on highways or in heavy traffic. I am requesting that NHTSA investigate whether the completed recall remedy adequately addresses vehicles that continue experiencing abnormal engine knocking and potential internal engine damage. The engine remains installed in the vehicle and is available for inspection. I am requesting further investigation into this safety concern.
I am submitting this complaint regarding our Range Rover Sport HSE P400 due to ongoing mechanical issues and the unacceptable service experience we have encountered with Land Rover. We have brought our vehicle to the dealership approximately six times for the same recurring issue. The vehicle repeatedly displays battery warning lights, experiences starting issues, and ultimately will not start. Despite multiple visits and attempts to resolve the problem, Land Rover has yet to identify and permanently correct the...

underlying issue. Throughout these visits, we have been given different explanations and advised to pay for or address different repairs, including: Replacing the battery. Repairing a leaking pipe. Being informed that oil particles were found and that the oil filter had not been changed. Most recently, being told that the starter may be the cause of the problem. We have continued to cooperate with the dealership, follow its recommendations, and bring the vehicle back whenever the same issue occurs. However, after six visits, we are still dealing with the same problem. It is extremely concerning that a vehicle requiring repeated service for the same symptoms has not received a definitive diagnosis or a lasting repair. What makes this situation even more frustrating is the dealership's refusal to provide us with a courtesy vehicle. We were told that because we did not originally purchase the vehicle from their dealership, and because we have supposedly exhausted the available discounts, we would need to arrange and pay for our own rental vehicle. We find this reasoning unacceptable. We are bringing a Land Rover vehicle to an authorized Land Rover dealership for repairs, not requesting a personal favor. The fact that we purchased the vehicle elsewhere should not determine whether we receive reasonable assistance while our vehicle is repeatedly being serviced for unresolved mechanical problems. Furthermore, we should not be financially penalized or lef
I am submitting a formal safety complaint regarding an incident involving my 2022 Tesla Model Y while operating in Full Self-Driving (Supervised) mode. While Full Self-Driving was engaged, my vehicle encountered a large piece of road debris in its travel path. The vehicle did not appear to recognize or avoid the obstruction, resulting in a collision. I am concerned that the Full Self-Driving system failed to identify and respond appropriately to a significant roadway hazard. I am requesting the following: 1. A...

formal investigation into this incident by Tesla's FSD safety and engineering teams. 2. A review of the vehicle's telemetry, camera footage, collision data, and FSD operating logs from the time of the incident. 3. An explanation of why the vehicle did not detect or attempt to avoid the obstruction. 4. Confirmation of whether this incident represents a known limitation or potential safety issue with the current FSD software. 5. A written response documenting Tesla's findings and any corrective actions or recommendations. Please preserve all available vehicle data and telemetry associated with this incident. I am not simply reporting vehicle damage. I am reporting a potentially significant safety issue involving a driver-assistance system that I expected to identify and respond to a substantial obstruction in the roadway. I would appreciate confirmation that this complaint has been escalated to the appropriate safety and engineering personnel.

asking when i look up this van it comes back as a cargo van, But with 22a configuration which is a crew van package, org owner used van as a hotel shuttle so was exposed to seldom shut offs so long periods if idling. i think stellantis's automated VIN capture failed to take this into account as it was high duty wear cycle and exposed to high current and i believe that what the recall #67c (b3-or c9c) was to address , i believe NHTSA # is 25v72000. so also was this a consideration ? on your part to convince...

Transmission. I brought my 2019 Toyota Highlander to the Toyota dealer for an oil change. Reported a whirring sound when depressing the gas. After they inspected it, I was told it needs a new transmission. I don't know when it can malfunction when driving.
My wife was heading home from an appointment on the freeway. When she got on the freeway meter she tried to accelerate onto the freeway but while doing so the car made a beeping noise and a warning sign was flashed. She did not get a look at the warning sign but then the SVC 4WD came on. She felt a severe stall with engine power and got really scared. We were lucky she wasn't going full speed on the freeway when the incident occurred. She wanted to pull over on the side of freeway immediately, but due to it being...

dark she thought it was unsafe especially with the debris that was present. She limped to the next freeway exit due to the car not being able to let her get past a certain speed she says was around 55 MPH. Since then we have viewed the car as a hazard to our safety to drive.
On or about [[redacted]] I received an alert that there was a problem with my 2025 Nissan Pathfinder's airbag. I immediately called my local Nissan Dealership, Wallace Nissan in Stuart, Fl to make an appointment. They made an appointment for the following week. Then, they canceled the appointment and made me wait until [[redacted]] to take it in even though I expressed concern about the safety of the vehicle. On [[redacted]] I took the car in and was told it would probably be fixable that day. On [[redacted]], I...

was told that the car could not be fixed and would likely be out of service or weeks or months because the necessary part was on backorder. I was not provided a replacement Nissan Pathfinder. I asked for any car with a third row and was refused. When the car part still had no ETA after three weeks, I placed a complaint with Nissan Consumer Affairs. I referenced the Magnuson Moss Warranty Act, a federal law which provides that manufacturers must offer a buyback to the consumer if the car cannot be reasonably repaired pursuant to the warranty. This defect is undisputedly covered by the bumper to bumper warranty. I was initially refused a buyback because Nissan explained that 3 weeks without the car is no yet unreasonable. I was promised further review and resolution if the part was still not available by [[redacted]]. Then on [[redacted]], the arbitration specialist emailed me that she may have an update on when the part could be available on [[redacted]]. I reminded her of her initial promise of the [[redacted]] deadline. She refused to answer. I called several times and left messages asking for a call back by [[redacted]] as promised. I was refused a call back. I asked to be escalated to a supervisor and was further refused. I believe that depriving me of the car in unreasonable, and expecting me to drive it with an unsafe airbag defect is a safety hazard. By failing to address the safety concern timely and failing to buyback the defective vehicle, Nissan is endorsing the driving of the car.

I am reporting severe corrosion of the fuel tank shield on my 2016 Range Rover Sport HSE, raising concerns about a potential systemic safety defect. The vehicle has been regularly serviced by Land Rover dealerships and independent mechanics and garage-kept for most of its life. No service provider previously warned us of significant fuel tank shield corrosion. During an unrelated recall visit, Land Rover Princeton identified severe fuel tank shield corrosion and classified the condition as CRITICAL. On November...

28, 2025, the dealership estimated replacement at $2,233.02, but parts were backordered. Despite this critical classification, the dealership advised that the vehicle could be driven, while warning that road debris could puncture the inadequately protected fuel tank, potentially causing gasoline spillage and a fire hazard. When we returned in August 2026, nine months later, replacement parts remained unavailable, leaving this critical condition unresolved. Other 2016 Range Rover Sport owners have reported similar corrosion in NHTSA complaints 11715458 and 11739019. More concerning, an owner of an L405 Range Rover publicly reported severe fuel tank shield corrosion, attributing it to galvanic corrosion between dissimilar metals. That owner also claimed Land Rover acknowledged the issue as safety-related and granted a repair credit after a federal complaint. These reports suggest the problem may extend beyond the 2016 Range Rover Sport to other Land Rover models, raising concerns about a broader design or materials defect rather than isolated wear. Given the recurring complaints, potential fuel leakage and fire hazards, and prolonged parts shortages, I question why this issue has not prompted a safety recall. I request that NHTSA investigate the extent of this condition across Land Rover models, its underlying cause, and whether a recall or manufacturer corrective action is warranted.
While in park the steering wheel violently shakes, and when driving is pulling, and now the wheel is completely stiff! This is my child's car and giving the amount of complaints I read on here about the same thing I feel this issue should be recalled to prevent accidents
Vehicle Safety Complaint - 2025 Kia K4 Unexpected Engine Shutdown I own a 2025 Kia K4 purchased new in August 2025. I am reporting a serious and recurring safety concern involving unexpected engine shutdown while the vehicle is being operated. The vehicle has experienced intermittent engine shutdowns, including while traveling at highway speeds. During these incidents, the vehicle switches into Accessory Mode, resulting in an unexpected loss of engine power while in motion. This issue first began before the...

vehicle reached 24,000 miles. The vehicle currently has approximately 58,000 miles. I previously brought the vehicle to an authorized Kia dealership for diagnostic evaluation. However, the dealership was unable to reproduce the problem or identify its cause. The underlying safety concern remains unresolved. I am particularly concerned because an unexpected engine shutdown at highway speeds creates a significant risk of a collision and endangers the occupants of the vehicle and surrounding motorists. I have also become aware of other owner-reported incidents involving 2025 Kia K4 vehicles experiencing unexpected shutdowns and switching into Accessory Mode while driving. I am requesting that NHTSA document this complaint and evaluate whether this recurring condition represents a potential safety-related defect affecting 2025 Kia K4 vehicles. I am willing to provide additional documentation, dealership records, and vehicle information if needed. Vehicle: 2025 Kia K4 Purchase date: August 2025 Current mileage: Approximately 58,000 First occurrence: Before 24,000 miles Dealer investigation: Conducted, but no cause identified.
While driving my 2017 Ford Expedition Limited 4WD at approximately 45 mph, the speedometer suddenly dropped to 0 mph even though the vehicle was still moving. At the same time, the wrench warning light illuminated, and the transmission became stuck in third gear. The transmission would no longer shift normally, including when slowing down and accelerating again. I was able to safely pull over, shut off the engine, and restart the vehicle. After restarting, the speedometer and transmission returned to normal...

operation, and the warning light disappeared. This is approximately the third time this same failure has occurred within the past 15,000 miles. The vehicle has approximately 200,000 miles and previously displayed diagnostic trouble code P0720, indicating an output shaft speed sensor circuit malfunction. These symptoms appear consistent with a possible failure of the transmission's molded lead frame or integrated output shaft speed sensor in the 6R80 automatic transmission. I am concerned that this intermittent failure could result in an unexpected transmission downshift, sudden deceleration, or loss of normal transmission operation while driving at highway speeds, increasing the risk of a collision. I understand similar transmission lead-frame failures have been documented in other Ford vehicles equipped with the 6R80 transmission. I am requesting that NHTSA investigate whether the 2017 Ford Expedition is affected by the same potential safety defect.
During normal operation the vehicle will randomly decelerate (no brake lights). This has happened on the highway and on city streets. I repeat on the highway this vehicle will go from 75mph to 40mph with no lights or warnings. The issue happened with my wife and child in the car and I was able to replicate the issue. I refuse to put my family in the car at this point. The Dealership says they cannot replicate the issue but is also lying about driving it diagnostically. The issue is video documented on two...

occasions. Since vehicle is under warranty it was brought to the dealership both times and have had zero resolution. During its last visit I was without the car for a month. I Contacted KIA corporate who denied a buy back. This vehicle will undoubtedly kill or injure my family or more if driven. I have been responsible and not done so to protect the public. But I need the car. Car is available for inspection at anytime. Videos available upon request.
My 2020 Ford EcoSport was delivered to a certified Ford franchise dealership for a mandatory safety recall. The dealership held my vehicle in their service department for 18 consecutive months (1.5 years) claiming an extended parts and repair delay. Because the manufacturer and dealership held my car for a year and a half, it was physically impossible for me to complete a Texas state emissions inspection, causing my state vehicle registration and tags to completely expire while under their care. The dealership is...

I am filing this complaint due to severe recall repair delays and resulting state vehicle compliance failures.
The steering wheel cover material (PUR/vegan leather) has separated, cracked, and peeled extensively, primarily at the 3 o'clock and 9 o'clock hand positions. This matches Tesla Service Bulletin SB-23-32-003 regarding steering wheel material separation. The material is delaminating from the underlying structure under normal use. No hand lotion, sanitizer, or other chemicals have ever been applied. Photos available. Vehicle is still under the Basic Vehicle Limited Warranty (4 years/50,000 miles).
I was moving from Chicago to Phoenix. No issues for approximately 14 hours of driving/900 miles of driving. Passed a semi and my vehicle started to make a clicking noise. No check engine lights came on and the oil temp didn't spike up. Decided to get to the nearest repair shop but on the way the noise got louder and eventually the engine started smoking. Pulled over and a fire had started underneath the vehicle. Still, no lights came on and the temp gauge was not high. Luckily we were able to put out the fire...

before it caused any damage. Oil had exploded all over the engine and a hose had bursted off. Again, no warnings/lights ever came up. Vehicle could have exploded and caused major harm/death to me or anyone nearby on the road. Vehicle has been towed to a Subaru dealership and they have done a tear down inspection. Currently waiting on Subaru of America to do an inspection themselves.
