My 2019 Jeep Wrangler JL has developed a severe, recurring electrical malfunction that causes multiple vehicle systems to fail simultaneously, resulting in unexpected loss of propulsion and the vehicle automatically shifting into Park without driver input. The issue initially began with an intermittent "Service Shifter" warning, particularly when driving over bumps or braking. At first, the vehicle continued operating normally. After several weeks, the problem progressively worsened. Now, numerous dashboard...

warning lights illuminate simultaneously, including the battery, oil pressure, and brake indicators. The speedometer fluctuates erratically, and warnings such as "Service Electronic Stability Control" appear. The vehicle begins jerking, slowing down unexpectedly, and eventually loses propulsion. It may initially continue moving, but the malfunction progresses until the vehicle shifts into Park without my input, preventing further operation. During one extremely dangerous incident, the vehicle malfunctioned and became disabled in the fast lane of [[redacted]], leaving me stranded in active highway traffic. I discovered that physically pressing down on electrical components connected to the dashboard fuse box sometimes temporarily restores normal operation after restarting the vehicle. However, the malfunction continues to recur and has become increasingly frequent. My VIN shows no outstanding safety recalls, but I am concerned about a potential electrical, wiring, power distribution, or electronic communication defect. The exact cause has not been diagnosed. I have video evidence of the dashboard malfunction and warning messages. I am requesting an investigation because this unpredictable failure creates a serious collision risk, particularly at highway speeds.

motorists. Has the problem been reproduced or confirmed by a dealer or independent service center? Yes. This vehicle's engine problem has been INSPECTED and CONFIRMED by a Ford dealership dealer as well as an independent service center. The Ford dealership confirmed that this issue is related to TSB-22-2229. Additionally, this is A DOCUMENTED AND PREVIOUSLY IDENTIFIED ENGINE PROBLEM by Ford dating back to 12 June 2019. Ford has issued multiple Technical Service Bulletins addressing coolant intrusion into the cylinders of certain 2.0-liter EcoBoost engines. Of particular relevance are: •TSB 19-2172, dated June 12, 2019. •TSB 19-2208, dated June 26, 2019. •TSB 22-2229, dated June 9, 2022. TSB 22-2229 specifically identifies coolant intrusion into the cylinders as a known condition affecting certain 2015-2018 Ford Edge vehicles equipped with the 2.0-liter EcoBoost engine. The bulletin identifies symptoms including low coolant levels, white exhaust smoke, rough engine operation, and associated diagnostic trouble codes. More importantly, Ford's prescribed corrective action for vehicles meeting the specified criteria is replacement of the engine long block assembly. Were there any warning lamps, messages or other symptoms of the problem prior to the failure, and when did they first appear? Yes. There was also a MIL (Malfunction Indicator Lamp) activated at the time of the incident, approximately 7:50 AM on 13 October 2026.
While operating the vehicle, it experienced a sudden, unexpected loss of engine power, rough idling, and white smoke emitting from the exhaust due to internal engine failure. The vehicle's check engine light illuminated, throwing codes P0301 for cylinder misfires, and P0316. A formal diagnostic inspection confirmed that this vehicle is suffering from the known manufacturing defect outlined in Ford Technical Service Bulletin (TSB) 19-2346, which involves internal coolant intrusion into the engine cylinders.

open-deck engine block design allows engine coolant to breach the cylinder head gasket and flood the combustion chambers. This creates an immediate safety hazard on public roadways. The sudden loss of acceleration and severe engine shuddering occurred without warning while driving, exposing the vehicle and its passengers to a high risk of a rear-end collision in active traffic. Ford Motor Company has denied out-of-warranty or goodwill assistance to resolve this defect. This issue directly aligns with the ongoing NHTSA investigation into Ford EcoBoost coolant leaks and structural engine failures. I am filing this to request that the agency upgrade its current inquiry into a mandatory safety recall to protect consumers from catastrophic highway engine failure. Current Vehicle Mileage: 85,000 miles
Component Involved: Electrical System, Hybrid Propulsion System, Power Train. Description of Safety Hazard: While operating the vehicle at speed in live traffic, the vehicle suddenly lost all propulsion and completely shut off. A red "Hybrid System Failure" warning illuminated on the dashboard, and the vehicle had to be towed to a certified manufacturer dealership. Sudden, uncommanded loss of motive power on a highway poses an immediate accident risk to vehicle occupants and surrounding traffic. Technical Details &...

Diagnostics: Certified dealer diagnostics confirmed active high-voltage fault codes stored in the High-Voltage Battery Control Unit: P33F100 (High-voltage battery control unit, high-voltage system deactivation via CAN bus) and P0D3400. Upon replacing the control unit, the vehicle immediately threw fault code P0B1300 (High-voltage E-box, current measurement delta between Hall and shunt above limit value). The manufacturer is currently refusing to repair the interconnected E-box housing the high-voltage current sensors despite the component causing identical safety-critical vehicle shutdowns.
I am requesting that Toyota escalate a safety-related concern involving my 2022 Camry SE.

vehicles. Given that this involves the emergency communication and Safety Connect system, I am requesting that Toyota review my vehicle's VIN for applicable campaigns, technical service bulletins, and warranty or goodwill coverage. I do not believe I should have to pay simply to have Toyota investigate a potentially defective emergency communication system. If Toyota will not cover the diagnostic, I would like that decision documented and escalated to a regional customer relations representative.

maintenance, routine service, and active recalls. • Causality Confirmation: Confirmed by Volkswagen Investigator. • Current Vehicle Location: State Farm holding lot. On [[redacted]], while the vehicle was stationary and actively plugged into a DC fast charger at the Electrify America charging station in Mentor, Ohio, the vehicle experienced a sudden and severe thermal event. Prior to the event, the vehicle exhibited no symptoms, dashboard warnings, or messages, and was completely up to date on all service, routine maintenance, and scheduled recalls. The high-voltage battery failed while charging, rapidly generating extreme heat and open flames, resulting in a total loss. The fire spread aggressively, completely totaling a second vehicle that was charging next to it, destroying the Electrify America charging stations, and causing extensive property damage to the surrounding Sheetz commercial property. Crucially, a corporate field investigator dispatched by Volkswagen subsequently inspected the vehicle and explicitly confirmed that the root cause of the fire was an internal failure stemming directly from the high-voltage battery defect. This severe thermal event and its significant collateral damage directly map to the critical risk parameters outlined in Volkswagen's safety recall, proving that standard charging operations under normal conditions trigger severe failure without prior warning and before a remedy INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)

Shumacher GM dealer in West Palm Beach. This definitely put my safety at risk since the truck shut down while driving. It seems that GM is having major issues with their engines. It is presently being inspected by the dealer and GM. I have not heard back of what the issue is, but I believe the engine will need to be replaced. I did not receive any warning messages or had no clue that the engine was going to shut down.
The Jeep shakes uncontrollably when driving over 50 mph. A rapid braking and speed reduction to under 30 mph will stop the shaking but it will occur again and again. Stellantis has built a completely unsafe car. I can no longer drive the vehicle on the highway or with my kids in the car. I want this major safety issue repaired at the manufacturer's expense.
I have a 2015 Ford Escape, and the rear view camera has been recalled. My rear camera that is inoperable has caused me almost several accidents. I feel very unsafe and the remedy to fix it has not been authorized yet. The safety of myself and others is largely put at risk. I am still waiting for parts to arrive at the Ford dealership so this recall can be taken care of. Until then, I do have an attorney on standby in case an accident does occur due to the failure of the rear view camera on the vehicle not working. Please be advised!
