2020 Lexus ISFuel system

Component or System Failure: The low-pressure in-tank fuel pump assembly and integrated fuel level sending unit failed. While driving, the vehicle suffered sudden fuel starvation and lost all motive power. The dealership verified that the car ran out of gas because the fuel level sending unit - which is mechanically integrated into the in-tank fuel pump module assembly - failed and transmitted completely incorrect levels to the dashboard. The component remains intact at the dealership and is available for inspection. ...

Safety Risk: My safety was put at extreme risk. At 7:30 PM in pitch-black conditions, I was traveling at 60 mph on the interstate when the engine suddenly died. Because the dashboard gauge falsely indicated a half-tank of fuel, I had zero warning. I had to desperately coast a dying vehicle across dark, active highway lanes toward an exit. I could not make the exit and was forced onto the shoulder, stopping dangerously close to active traffic. Stranding a powerless vehicle on a dark, high-speed interstate shoulder leaves occupants highly vulnerable to a catastrophic rear-end collision. Warning Signs & Symptoms: There were absolutely no advanced warning lamps, low fuel lights, or check engine messages prior to the failure. The dashboard gauge actively misled me by showing a half tank of gas. The vehicle gave zero indication of an issue until it suddenly sputtered and lost acceleration at high speed. The car then shut itself off completely on the roadside. No dash indicators illuminated until after the vehicle had died and a restart was attempted, at which point the check engine light came on.

I have called the Brand Engagement department and they have not been very helpful. The guys in the service department at Krause are extremely rude and bothered by the fact that I had questions. I did ask about the lawsuit regarding my 2019 Rav4 faulty transmissions and they said they didn't know anything about it. Any help regarding this very frustrating matter would be helpful.

2026 Nissan KicksVisibility & wipers

My car was sitting in my driveway and I came outside to find rear window with two holes in it. One on left top of window and one on bottom right of window. Glass around edges of entire window appears to have disintegrated. Window was burst inward and glass was all over car. Nissan stated this was not covered by warranty and there were no recalls on my vehicle so they could not assist. Local Nissan dealer stated they had not heard of this occurring on Kicks (but have heard of it on other models). No warning lights or warning signs precedented this. If someone had been in the backseat, the glass would have hit and them.

2023 Volkswagen ID.4Seats & seat belts

COMPONENT & AVAILABILITY: Driver front seat assembly (tracks, lower frame, mounting hardware). Fully available for inspection upon request. SAFETY RISK: The driver seat exhibits physical play and a fore-and-aft rocking motion during acceleration, braking, and occupant weight shifts. Sudden or continuous seat movement reduces driver stability and raises concerns about occupant seating position and the effectiveness of safety restraints during driving or emergency maneuvers.

SERVICE HISTORY: Presented for service on 8 repair opportunities: a) at ~1,600 & ~2,100 miles: Reported seat track wobble; service denied as operating per design. b) at ~2,500 miles: Technician verified the defect, confirmed a mechanical malfunction in the seat bottom frame, and replaced the lower frame structure under warranty. c) at ~8,729 miles: Reported re-occurring play; service denied as normal operation. d) at ~9,637 miles: Tested with a replacement seat frame to compare, confirmed play, and reinstalled original frame; deemed operating per design. e) at ~19,000, ~21,000, & ~22,000 miles: Seat rocking reoccurred and was re-demonstrated to technicians, but further repairs were denied as normal flex or operating per design. MANUFACTURER ACTION: Escalated to corporate customer care, which acknowledged the rocking motion in writing but closed the case without repair. Corporate required a dealer fault diagnosis before dispatching a Field Technical Engineer. Concurrently, the servicing dealer, under technical support advisement, declined to declare a fault or call a field engineer for inspection. This administrative loop leaves an uncorrected structural seat issue. SYMPTOMS & WARNINGS: First appeared at ~1,600 miles and persists past 26,000 miles. No warning lights or diagnostic trouble codes. The only symptom is the seat assembly physically shifting during momentum changes.

2024 Jeep Grand Cherokee LElectrical system

On November 3, 2026, our 2024 Jeep Grand Cherokee would not start. This is the second time this has happened. The main battery was dead and the vehicle only clicked. It would not accept a jump start, which left us stranded. Other owners report the same auxiliary battery and electrical failures on recent Jeep models, including a Wrangler that throws an auxiliary battery warning every year that goes away on its own weeks later. Jeep quoted that owner $750 to replace the auxiliary battery. A vehicle that won't start...

The Jeep was purchase used from a Jeep dealer in April 2026. At 42,821 miles it was still under the manufactures warranty. We have had multiple occurrences where the check engine light comes on, followed by other warning lights, and moments later the Jeep will stall in traffic. When it stalls, it is unable to be restarted or shifted to neutral to be pushed out of traffic. This has cause multiple seriously dangerous situations and collision close calls. Sometimes a jumpstart will allow the vehicle to be restarted....

other times it must be towed. Note: The battery and electrical systems checks indicate no failures even though the battery/low voltage warning lights come on during the incidents. I have taken the vehicle to four different repair facilities including authorized Jeep dealer service centers. The first three times parts were replaced. The fourth time it was towed to Santa Monica Jeep. They verified the same error codes as reported previously then cleared the error codes. One they cleared the error codes, they were unable to get the check engine light to come back on during their short test drives. And none of the components were testing as bad. So I requested a Stellantis field technician inspect the vehicle. They were also unable to diagnose the problem even though it keeps recurring. Because they were unable to diagnose the problem, they refused to take any further action, even though the service manager told me that the vehicle is unsafe to drive. I informed my insurance company of the situation and they told me that they may not cover any claims unless the dealer provides a "Certified Mechanics Statement" or "proof of repairs showing that the vehicle is in good physical condition and safe to operate." The dealer refuses to provide this. So now I have a Jeep that is unsafe to drive, may no longer e covered by my insurance, and neither a Jeep dealer nor Stellantis themselves are willing to resolve a dangerous stalling problem.

October 22, 2026 General Motors Customer Assistance Subject: Request for Reimbursement for Thermostat Repair - DTC P0128 - 2022 Chevrolet V6 - Special Coverage Bulletin #N242484760 Dear General Motors Customer Assistance, I am writing to formally request reimbursement for the thermostat repair performed on my 2022 GMC Canyon V6, which experienced a thermostat-related failure associated with Diagnostic Trouble Code P0128.

address a known thermostat issue affecting certain vehicles. The program provides extended coverage for the engine coolant thermostat and its housing for up to 15 years or 150,000 miles from the vehicle's original in-service date, subject to the program's eligibility requirements. The issue I experienced is consistent with the condition addressed by this program. The P0128 diagnostic trouble code indicates that the engine coolant temperature is not reaching the expected operating temperature within the specified time, which can be caused by a malfunctioning thermostat. This is the type of failure that the special coverage program was established to address. Unfortunately, I incurred the expense of repairing this condition out of pocket. Had I been aware of the applicable special coverage at the time of the repair, I would have sought assistance through an authorized Chevrolet/GMC dealership before paying for the repair myself. I respectfully request that General Motors review my repair documentation and consider reimbursing me for the costs incurred. The existence of Special Coverage Program Bulletin #N242484760 demonstrates that GM has recognized this thermostat issue and established extended coverage for eligible vehicles experiencing the condition. I believe it is reasonable and fair for GM to review my claim in light of the nature of the defect, the diagnostic code involved, and the purpose of the special coverage program.

2019 Land Rover Range Rover Sport (5 Seat)Fuel system

Recently had my car to my local auto repair shop for my yearly PA inspection. They indicated the unit is failing PA safety inspection due to the fuel tank shield being completely rusted through. My car is 7 years old with 75,000 miles and was always garage kept. The fuel tank shield also helps maintain the fuel tank in place and also serves to protect from road debris puncturing the tank. In the event the shield fails completely the tank would drop and place myself and others in severe danger or possible explosion. I am awaiting a response from the Land Rover dealer on how they wish to proceed.

resulted from pre-delivery repair or failed inspection; the records do not identify who omitted the bolts. The dealer also confirmed hood shaking/flutter above 60 mph, cited TSB 26-42A-002 and a reinforced replacement hood. Its narrative says parts ordered, panel to be painted and customer to return for installation; replacement completion is not established. On Oct 30 the next servicing dealership said Mitsubishi's hood was still awaited. On Oct 31 I reported apparent bending near the windshield and water pooling; no photo or professional causation finding for that new observation is supplied. No federal hood recall has been established. The brake-fastener and hood conditions raised safety concerns for our family. No crash, fire or injury is reported. The car is retained and available for inspection; availability of replaced fasteners is UNKNOWN. Prior warning lamps are UNKNOWN; rattling and hood flutter were symptoms. On Oct 30 I reported just under 62,000 miles and continued driving with restricted family travel. Odd wear on the other rear brake is an owner observation without a second-side diagnosis. Sept 22 in the incident field is the service-intake date; exact earlier symptom-onset date is UNKNOWN. Mileage field is intake mileage. Please review a possible safety defect, noncompliance, improper repair and the hood remedy delay.
