2014 Audi Q7Fuel system

I have the same identical issue as experienced in these models but for some reason my vehicle VIN is not on the list. The problem details are below. 2007-2012 (gasoline models) and certain 2013-2015/2017 (gasoline models) Audi Q7s are covered by factory recalls for a fuel pump flange that can develop fine cracks/fissures, allowing fuel leaks and a strong fuel smell (often noticed toward the rear). This is the issue of a fuel flange/tank-related problem causing rear fuel odor. It is not a general crack in the...

plastic fuel tank itself in most cases, but cracking of the fuel pump flange (filter housing/part of the fuel tank assembly) supplied by Continental. Leaking fuel near an ignition source raises fire risk. Only gasoline engines are affected (not TDI diesels). Key recalls * NHTSA 16V660000 (Audi code 20W9) - 2007-2012 Audi Q7 (gasoline). Dealers inspected the flange, replaced cracked ones, and applied a protective butyl rubber band/film as an interim measure when parts were limited. * NHTSA 18V818000 (Audi code 20BJ) - Follow-up for a subset of the above 2007-2012 vehicles that only received the interim butyl tape repair. The tape could be insufficient, so the flange is replaced and new protective tape applied. * NHTSA 17V298000 (Audi code 20Z8) - Expansion covering certain 2013-2017 Audi Q5 and Q7 (gasoline). Summaries often list 2013-2017 Q7; some official notices and details focus on 2013-2015 Q7 (still first-generation). Flanges are inspected/replaced if cracked, or protective film is applied.

2019 Honda AccordFuel system

Within the last year, Honda changed out my fuel pump as I told them I had a problem with acceleration. This problem is ongoing to where I have gotten a cracked head gasket and now they are saying that my fuel injectors are bad. I'm now thinking isn't that related to the fuel pump that you replaced. I'm frustrated and tired of paying for an ongoing problem. The head gasket and fuel pump were on Honda. However, I paid there different shops to fix this same issue and last week Honda over $2,200 to fix an oil leak that...

I'm not convinced that I had. After paying to get my car fixed by Honda on Friday and getting my car back, I drove home. I stayed in over the weekend and only drove to Walmart that is down the street from my home. On Monday morning, my car had trouble picking up speed as I got on the freeway and kept stalling on the freeway. As I was freaking out, I tried to remain calm enough to turn the car off and on again to start going again. Keep in mind that other cars are flying around me and trying to avoid hitting my car. When I called Honda, they told me that my car was fixed like I did something to it. I told them that I barely drove the car after picking it up and it still seemed a little hesitant as it was moving on Friday evening.

2023 Ram 1500 Quad CabTransmission & drivetrain

While operating the vehicle at low speed, the engine suddenly and without warning stalled, causing an immediate loss of motive power. Upon stalling while rolling, the vehicle's onboard software automatically engaged the AutoPark feature, forcing the transmission into Park and forcefully slamming on the electronic parking brake while the vehicle was in motion in active traffic. This created an extremely violent, unexpected stop that posed a severe hazard of rear-end collision and secondary injury. This safety defect...

vehicle still would not start because the starter relay circuit was failing. Instead of repairing or replacing the defective recall relay assembly, the dealership wired an unauthorized aftermarket Relay Bypass Switch Kit (Part #54762610) directly into the under-hood recall relay assembly. Shortly after retrieving the vehicle and installing a new battery, the under-hood relay assembly and bypass switch caught fire, melting the components and leaving the vehicle inoperable. Both the dealership and Genesis Motor America have failed to remediate the fire damage or honor the safety recall repair. I have both service invoices and photographs of the burned components available for NHTSA investigators. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)

2018 Subaru ForesterElectrical systemAirbagsSeats & seat belts

I own a 2018 Subaru Forester with a current mileage of approximately 70,485 miles. The airbag warning light intermittently illuminates and then turns off, indicating a possible malfunction in the passenger-side Occupant Detection System (ODS). This issue occurs repeatedly and unpredictably, raising serious concerns about whether the front passenger airbag will deploy properly in a collision. On [redacted], when the vehicle had 68,274 miles, I brought it to an authorized Subaru dealership, Grand Prix Subaru in...

[[redacted]], for diagnosis. The dealership identified a problem involving the front passenger seat occupancy detection system and recommended replacing the passenger seat frame, occupant detection mat, and wiring harness. The estimated repair cost was $1,822.99. I am particularly concerned because Subaru previously issued Safety Recall WUM-98 (NHTSA Campaign 19V-701), covering certain 2015-2018 Forester vehicles with defects involving the passenger-side occupant detection system wiring harness. The recall describes intermittent electrical connection problems that may cause the passenger airbag to become disabled. My vehicle exhibits similar intermittent symptoms, yet its VIN is not included in the recall. I am concerned that the affected vehicle population may be broader than originally identified. This is a critical safety issue, not a routine maintenance problem. An intermittent malfunction of the passenger occupant detection system could prevent proper airbag deployment during an accident, potentially resulting in serious injury. I respectfully request that NHTSA investigate whether additional 2018 Subaru Forester vehicles may be affected by the same or a similar safety defect and whether the existing recall should be expanded. The vehicle is available for inspection, and I can provide the Subaru dealership's diagnostic report and repair estimate upon request.

2019 Ford EdgeOther & unknown

Without warning, the sunroof on my 2019 Ford Edge shattered. My children and I were stopped at a stop sign and heard a loud pop, looked up and it was shattered, but held together by tint and a film. We were less than a mile from home and it was pouring rain and rain started to drip into the vehicle. We pulled into the garage and when we exited the vehicle the majority of the sunroof completely shattered came into the car. I have a claim in with my insurance company and I have received one estimate to replace the glass, so far. Waiting for confirmation to have it towed to Ford. Ford ordered the glass.

2024 Ford Escape PhevElectrical system

Ford issued a recall under campaign FSA 25SC4 Escpae / Corsair PHEV High Voltage Battery Cell Internal Short Circuit. As part of their campaign they advised customers to only charge to 80%. They finally issued a fix to the issue and their fix was to reduce to charging capacity of the High Voltage battery for 11.7 kWh to 8kWh. The vehicle when sold by Ford was sold as being able to provide 11.7 kWh on a charge resulting in 37 miles of electric driving. Now since the recall fix and their forced reduction of charging...

capacity 22 to 26 miles is the best electrical charge obtained. Whereas before the recall at 100% charge 37 to 43 miles of electrical charge driving was possible. Ford has mislead customer with their fix by saying they can now charge to 100% when in reality it is only 80%

2021 Airstream BambiEquipment & accessories

My 2021 Airstream Bambi 16RB travel trailer (manufactured July 2020) developed an interior propane leak. Whenever I opened the propane supply, the installed LP gas detector alarmed. Using a portable combustible-gas detector and leak-detection fluid, I traced the leak to the factory-appearing Dometic PI8022 two-burner cooktop (manufactured December 2019). Inspection revealed a fractured gas manifold tube at the saddle valve nearest the regulator, as well as a bent valve-retaining screw. Photographs showed the...

flexible propane supply line and regulator hanging without independent support near the cooktop, imposing weight and vibration loads on the gas connection. Dometic's Safety Director reviewed my photographs and correspondence and concluded in writing: "Prolonged vibration of the unsupported load of the propane supply line and regulator over time has led to the failure of the gas manifold tube at the saddle valve closest to the regulator." Dometic said the unit was improperly installed by the final-stage manufacturer or possibly after repair/replacement, cited NFPA 1192 piping-support requirements, and advised supporting the line without tension. I am the third owner and cannot verify the entire prior installation history; the cooktop appears original. I replaced the cooktop and added a cushioned support clamp. The failed cooktop and manifold are retained and available for inspection. Airstream received Dometic's findings but did not provide a technical determination, citing expired warranty and no applicable recall. I am aware of Airstream recall 23V-134 involving vibration-related fractures in certain Suburban cooktops. My Dometic cooktop is not covered by that recall. I request evaluation of whether unsupported propane supply lines on Dometic-equipped Airstream trailers present a separate safety defect and fire/explosion hazard.

The infotainment touchscreen in my 2022 Honda Accord 2.0T suffers from severe and worsening "ghost touch" malfunctions. While driving, the screen registers phantom touches on its own - rapidly switching menus, changing audio sources at sudden high volumes, and exiting navigation without any physical contact. This creates a major safety hazard. It causes severe driver distraction while the vehicle is in motion and prevents me from safely monitoring critical vehicle status information, safety settings, and real-time...

I originally reported this defect to several authorized Honda dealerships (DavidMcDavid Irving Teaxs, Grapevine South Lake Teax) while the vehicle was still under the original factory warranty in Summer 2025. At that time, the dealership acknowledged it was a known issue with Honda but stated no permanent fix was available. Since then, the malfunction has escalated to the point where the display is constantly erratic during normal driving.

2025 Jeep GladiatorSteering

The steering feels very lose. Correcting it sometimes causes an over correction. It is a constant battle just to stay on the road. The smaller roads where I live is especially a concern. It is not soecifically left or right, temperature makes no difference. It happens at lower speeds as well as highway speeds. My tire pressure cold is at 37psi per recommendation on the door frame. No modifications have been made to the suspension at all. Bought used at Carmax with 3,012 miles. My 39 ft RV steers better. ...

The local dealership said they didn't notice a problem. On winter when road conditions worsen or in rain there would be more of a risk due to the constant corrections and minor swerving to maintain straight line driving.

- Fuel Injector Wiring Harness. - My vehicle went into "Limp mode" where it was unable to accelerate beyond 40mph. This happened while driving my children to school on a very busy highway. - The manufacturer issued a warranty extension in 2023 for this specific issue, but did not notify it's customers that this was a known issue. The repair cost for resolving this issue was over $900 to repair something that should've been a recall, not a warranty extension.

2018 Honda AccordDriver assistance

While driving my 2018 Honda Accord at roughly 25-45 mph, the automatic emergency braking system (Collision Mitigation Braking System) suddenly activated and braked the car with no vehicle, person, or object in the road ahead. At the same moment, the "BRAKE" warning appeared on the dashboard and the system beeped, so the forward collision warning also falsely detected a hazard. The only thing in the road ahead was a tree's shadow on the pavement. I don't know for sure if that caused it, but the system may have...

mistaken the shadow for an obstacle. Sudden, unexpected braking with nothing ahead puts me at risk of being rear-ended by vehicles behind me. This has happened once so far. It appears to match NHTSA investigation EA24002 (inadvertent automatic emergency braking in 2018-2022 Honda Accord).

thermostat and vehicle are available for inspection upon request. How was your safety or the safety of others put at risk? The primary safety concern is the loss of windshield dehumidification capability due to the air conditioning system being disabled. During rain, high humidity, or rapidly changing weather conditions, the inside of the windshield can fog over quickly and significantly reduce visibility. This can occur while traveling at highway speeds, creating a situation where the driver must attempt to clear the windshield while maintaining vehicle control and searching for a safe location to stop. The loss of air conditioning during periods of extreme heat can also create uncomfortable and distracting driving conditions. Opening windows at highway speeds is not an equivalent substitute due to excessive noise, air-pressure fluctuations, and reduced driver comfort. Has the problem been reproduced or confirmed by a dealer or independent service center? Yes. The condition is repeatable and consistently occurs when the thermostat is stuck open and the engine does not achieve the expected operating temperature. The symptoms return until the thermostat is replaced. Has the vehicle or component been inspected by the manufacturer, police, insurance representatives or others? The vehicle has been diagnosed as having a thermostat stuck in the open position. No police or insurance inspections have occurred. Were there any warning lamps, messages or othe
