car, street and more. Please help me I do have pictures but I am technology deficient and can't upload them on my laptop, possibly I could on my phone. The weather really affects this safety hazard in all the positions from sun to being in the shade. I have two estimates to replace them. Thank you in advance for helping me, [[redacted]] INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)

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.

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

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.

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)

an independent mechanic. Diagnostic scan information may be available for inspection upon request. The vehicle and related components should be preserved for further inspection. 2. How was safety put at risk? There were three occupants in the vehicle, including myself and my two young children, ages [[redacted]] and [[redacted]]. Despite the significant collision and damage to the vehicle, none of the airbags deployed. This raised serious concerns about the safety of all occupants. We experienced injuries following the accident, and I am concerned that the failure of the airbag system may have increased the risk of injury. 3. Has the problem been reproduced or confirmed? UNKNOWN. An independent mechanic scanned the vehicle for diagnostic trouble codes. However, I do not yet have confirmation that the airbag system malfunction has been reproduced or that a specific defective component has been identified. 4. Has the vehicle been inspected? An independent mechanic has performed a diagnostic scan of the vehicle. The vehicle also sustained significant damage in the collision. UNKNOWN whether Toyota, a Toyota dealership, police, or insurance representatives have performed a specific inspection of the airbag system. 5. Were there warning lights or symptoms before the failure? UNKNOWN. I do not currently have confirmation of whether an airbag warning light or other warning message appeared before the collision. I am requesting that NHTSA review this incident 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.
