The bezel that attaches to the top of the grill flew off while I drove down the interstate. It went over my truck and almost hit the car behind me and in the lane next to me. The mounting points failed and most of them as still connected to the grill. The grill has some broken plastic mounting and several cracks in the grill around the connection points. I took the truck to the GMC dealership and they looked at it then told me to contact GMC. I have dashcam video (front and rear) of the part detaching and traveling back into traffic behind me.

My Cadillac Lyriq slams the brakes on when driving forward or in reverse with nothing in its path. This makes me very nervous to drive the vehicle as it is unpredictable as to when it happens. It scares me and affects my confidence in driving the vehicle. The entire vehicle also without warning goes completely dark meaning the screen and the entire vehicle just shut off.
The car will not start nor move. The warning states "EV system off." The battery is still charged to 31%. No warning appeared prior to the car not starting.
The front driver side (driver's) seatbelt spontaneously releases from the buckle while in use. It occurs randomly. This has been occurring since approximately December 2025.
The transmission started whining over the summer and has been gradually getting worse. I took it in and was told it needed a new transmission. The vehicle just has 72,000 miles on it and the whine started around 67,000 miles. From my research, this appears to be a known issue with Toyota. If the transmission goes out while I'm driving I could lose control of the vehicle and/or become a hazard, and put my life at risk as well as others on the road.
While driving home from work the vehicle slid like it was hydroplaning but there was not rain or water on the freeway but was unsure why the vehicle would do this. The next day after work getting in the vehicle I received an alert that the powertrain malfunction/reduced power. After checking the vehicle the knuckle hub assembly was found to be completely cracked trough. This part is completely unavailable through Ford and any other market places. When I went to the nearest dealer ship to check any warranties I was...

told that the vehicle was not within the timeframe of any of the warranties to be able to cover this. This is my primary vehicle to use and because of this broken part it is unsafe to be driving.
Outstanding recall required but I am located in a state without an authorized dealer and the manufacturer has declined transportation assistance previously provided for another recall. The oustanding recall if not fixed states, "A loss of drive power can cause a vehicle crash without prior warning." My closest authorized dealer is over 6 hours away driving. It doesn't seem like I should be driving that much to get recall fixed if the unfixed recall "can cause a vehicle crash without prior warning." Please review whether the manufacturer's remedy arrangements provide reasonable access in my circumstances. Thank you!
Cracker cylinder head at only 68,000 miles on it. No warning came on, only reason we knew it started was oil leaking really bad
The infotainment system has failed completely, including the rearview-camera display. When I put the vehicle in reverse, no backup-camera image appears. This reduces rear visibility while backing up. I am requesting that this be documented and addressed as a safety-related concern
The contact owns a 2024 Toyota Camry. The contact stated that while driving at an unspecified speed, the driveshaft malfunctioned, the suspension and bushings operated abnormally, and the "All-Wheel Drive Malfunction" warning light illuminated. The contact stated that defective coil springs caused premature tire wear. An oil leak occurred alongside an abnormal fuel odor emanating from the vehicle. In addition, the transmission slipped. The vehicle was taken to two separate dealers for diagnostic testing. The first...

dealer diagnosed an oil pan failure, and the second dealer determined that the oil level sensor was inoperable. The oil leak was repaired; however, the dealers declined to perform further repairs on the vehicle. The manufacturer was notified of the failures. The failure mileage was 35,000.
Hendrick Honda Cars of McKinney sold me a 2020 Subaru Outback with severely mismatched tires, completely failing to identify the issue despite passing the vehicle through three separate pre-sale and/or safety inspections. Subaru strictly requires identical tire tread depths across all four wheels on its symmetrical All-Wheel Drive (AWD) system to maintain stable power distribution and vehicle control. Selling and operating an AWD vehicle with a critical tread depth variance (5/32" vs 10/32") forces the tires to...

rotate at different speeds, putting severe, un-designed friction and heat stress on the center differential. This introduces an immediate, permanent risk of unexpected drivetrain binding, catastrophic mechanical failure, or sudden loss of vehicle control at highway speeds. To further mask this hazard, the dealership installed subpar new tires and actively deleted the vehicle's wheel alignment data from Internal Repair Invoice #369267 to hide the defect. When I subsequently forced the facility to run a proper alignment check, the data confirmed the vehicle was dangerously out of alignment. I complained about slipping and the smell of rubber numerous times to be told my tires and vehicle were safe. By intentionally deleting tracking data and pushing a dangerously misaligned, mismatched AWD vehicle through three consecutive inspections, the facility actively covered up a severe mechanical safety risk, exposing the driver and public to potential drivetrain failure and loss of control. They have admitted to this in writing also..
While driving, my brakes suddenly grabbed so hard that it felt as though we were hit from behind or hit a large pot hole. There was no hole, we were not hit from behind and the brakes released immediately. We were fortunate that there was no vehicle behind us as it could have caused a collision. We were not going more than 20 mph. This has happened three times in the last 4 months. Our dealership claims there is no recall or knowledge of this happening to others.
The vehicle lost all power in the middle of the road. We took it into the dealership. It was the high pressure fuel pump that was on recall in 2022 and went out again in 2026. Nobody will replace it due to the fact that though recall warranty has expired. But this is a big safety issue. I have metal debris all in my fuel system.
I am reporting a 2024 Cadillac Escalade ESV equipped with the L87 6.2L V8 for review in connection with NHTSA Engineering Analysis EA26005 and Recall 25V-274 / GM N252494000. The recall remedy was completed on November 13, 2025 after the vehicle passed the L87 PicoScope test. The dealer performed the prescribed oil and filter change and installed the revised oil-fill cap. At that same visit, I reported vibration at 70-80 mph and unusually loud engine noise. Subsequent service records document continuing harsh...

vibration and loud engine operation, along with other drivability concerns. On May 9, 2026, after completion of the recall remedy, the engine shut off twice during the same trip: once while stopped at a red light and again while traveling at slow speed during a turn. No crash, fire or injury occurred. I reported the shutdowns and continuing symptoms to the dealer. The vehicle continues to experience worsening vibration, rough driving/operation and a grinding sensation. EA26005 was opened August 20, 2026 to investigate allegations of loss of motive power due to L87 engine failure after Recall 25V-274 remedies and also covers later-production L87 engines. I am not asserting a specific internal-engine diagnosis or that NHTSA has determined this vehicle has the defect under investigation. I am reporting the post-remedy shutdown events and continuing symptoms so ODI can determine their relevance to EA26005. Original repair orders and supporting records are available upon request.
The pearl white paint on my car has begun to bubble and peel off in several sections. One of the areas is around the top of the front windshield, and I am concerned that will affect the windshield itself, which might crack or not hold securely. There is also a large section of paint which has peeled off, down to the metal, on the right rear door, and I am concerned that water will make its way into the car or the exposed metal underneath will rust and cause safety issues.
When driving on the road and slight turning of the steering wheel from 11-1 o' clock position, the steering locks or gets stuck and I have to apply extra force to turn the steering wheel to get it to turn OK.
While the truck was under warranty it would go into limp mode. A dealer said they replaced the valve body but it did not look like anything had been done to it. It didn't go into limp mode and seemed fine for a couple of months then it went into limp mode again and we took it back to the dealership. The hooked a scanner up and cleared the codes and it worked fine for a couple of more months. (This cycle happened repeatedly until it was out of the warranty.) We finally got our own scanner and cleared the codes like...

they did at the dealer and it would work fine for a while. Then one day driving at 60-65 mph it locked the rear wheels and we slid off into the ditch. It happened 4 more times before we got it home. (We were driving about 15 mph). We called the dealership and they said they couldn't do anything since it was out of warranty and it could need a new transmission. It was never right from the time we bought it. The locking brakes could be fatal if it had happened on a busy highway. The first problem we had with it was the front grill flew off. We called the same dealer and they told us we pushed too hard on it closing the hood so they weren't responsible. My husband fixed it and it never came off again but we saw later that it had been recalled for the same problem.
On [[redacted]], I experienced a severe safety failure regarding the fuel tank support on my 2016 Ram 1500 (VIN: [[redacted]]). I was driving on public roads under normal conditions and stopped at a store for grocery shopping. While parked, a bystander alerted me that my gas tank was physically hanging down from underneath the vehicle. Upon inspection, I found that the metal fuel tank strap had completely broken off due to corrosion, leaving the heavy fuel tank unsupported and at high risk of dropping onto the...

road. Because the vehicle was unsafe to leave as-is, I had to rig a temporary strap harness under the truck to hold the tank up just enough to carefully limp the vehicle home. This sudden structural failure presents a massive fire and road hazard. Upon contacting my local Ram/Chrysler dealership, I was informed that there is no active recall covering my specific vehicle. However, after researching the issue on automotive forums and Facebook owner groups, I discovered this is a widespread and well-documented defect among Ram 1500 owners. While some older models received a formal recall (Recall U04) for this exact issue, many owners of newer models like mine are being left without assistance, forcing them to pay out-of-pocket at independent mechanics or attempt DIY repairs on a critical safety component. I urge the NHTSA to investigate this ongoing defect for 2016 models. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)
While driving normally on Veterans Pkwy, my moonroof exploded. I thought sometime must have thrown something at my car while driving, or I got hit by a meteorite. My shade was open so I could see that the glass was shattered and had a hole in the middle about the size of a large potato. It was 11/3/26 at 3:45 pm cst. It has been raining for a few days.
New 2025 Hyundai Kona purchased in Aug 2025. After driving long distances, about 75 miles - 400 miles, I would experience left shoulder discomfort & constant pain in upper left arm. The bolsters of driver seat protrude & the driver needs to hunch forward. Also, the head rests do not pivot forward or back, leaving body position hunched forward as well as head & neck pushed forward. At times, I would have to hold the left assist grab bar with my left hand to avoid resting my left upper arm against the bolster in...

order to mitigate the pain somewhat. After 2-3 months, I made appointment with primary care doctor to assess the shoulder pain. Doctor prescribed x-ray & physical therapy, both completed & suggested buying new car with different seats or getting the seat modified. I reported my experience & complaint to Hyundai Headquarters. Information was noted by complaint intake person. Beginning mid-Dec 2025, & for the following 7 months, I lived out of state & did not drive the 2025 Kona. During that time, the shoulder pain & upper arm pain resolved. Now that I've returned to CA & driving the Kona, I use a foam square for the seat (raising me from bucket) & (2) car seat cushions (to push my back forward away from bolsters). This helps somewhat but the problem is still present. And the head rest still does not adjust leaving me to incline my head & neck forward yet not as much as previously since the (2) car seat cushions behind my back provide a bit of distance away from the head rest. I do not think the new bucket seat style with enlarged bolsters & fixed headrest are ergonomically appropriate for drivers over [[redacted]] of age. I did not take the name of the gentleman at headquarters of the Hyundai Complaint Division, nor do I remember the exact date we spoke.
