detached from the vehicle. The vehicle was not repaired. The contact stated that the manufacturer exceeded a reasonable amount of time for the recall repair without providing a timeframe for parts availability. The failure mileage was 18,000.

rollaway and collision hazard (FMVSS 102/114). The dealer had to add fluid and perform 10 consecutive sensor calibrations to restore basic operation. 2. ELECTRICAL SYSTEM COLLAPSE & LIGHTING HAZARD: The vehicle suffered systemic bus communication drops, gateway control module crashes, and uncommanded exterior lighting turning on while parked, off, and locked. Scans revealed severe parasitic draw, gateway failure, and harness corrosion from delivery. Uncommanded exterior lighting creates a vehicle fire risk and drains 12V reserves, causing sudden complete electrical shutdown. 3. BRAKE ELECTRONICS FAULT & UNRESOLVED REMEDY: Extended diagnostic holds (>30 days) documented active DTC U041800 in Brake Electronics Control Unit 812C. Audi technical field engineering confirmed in writing that no software/hardware remedy existed for this communication failure and promised a fix by end of Q3 2026. Q3 2026 ended with zero factory remedy, recall, or campaign deployed. 4. ARBITRATED BLAME-SHIFTING: The dealer attempted to evade warranty liability by billing $1,502.69, claiming aftermarket window tint caused the harness corrosion. In binding arbitration, Arbitrator Stenlund ruled gateway crashes preceded any tint work, rejected dealer causation, and ordered a full statutory buyback and repair refund. The vehicle sat undriven at 855 miles post-service return until corporate surrender because it is unsafe to operate on public roads.

vehicle would be a better option because it had fewer miles and was a heavy-duty model. Based on these representations and my understanding that this vehicle was a better option for my needs, I agreed to purchase it for approximately $30,000. Within 15 days of the purchase, the vehicle began experiencing serious mechanical issues. I promptly returned to your dealership to request assistance; however, I was denied service. I later took the vehicle to an authorized RAM dealership for a professional inspection and diagnostic evaluation. The diagnostic identified multiple issues, including: A coolant/antifreeze-related issue requiring service; A defective fuel pump; Failure of the air-conditioning system; and Abnormal engine noise requiring further diagnosis and repair. Additionally, after the purchase, I obtained a Carfax Vehicle History Report that revealed that the vehicle had been involved in an accident in 2024. I was not aware of this accident history at the time I purchased the vehicle, and this information was not disclosed to me before or during the sale, to the best of my knowledge. I later discovered that the vehicle I purchased had significant mechanical problems in addition to the accident history. These circumstances have resulted in financial losses, repair expenses, lost time, and disruption to my work. I respectfully request that High Quality Auto Group provide a fair and prompt resolution to this matter. I request consideration of one or more of

remaining physically stuck in "Reverse." As a direct result, the vehicle began rolling backwards out of control, requiring the immediate emergency deployment of the handbrake to halt the vehicle. Furthermore, because the vehicle's internal computer recognizes that the transmission is not safely in Park, the ignition cylinder has completely trapped my key. The key cannot be turned to the off position or removed from the ignition, leaving the electrical system active and draining the battery. Due to these interconnected safety failures and the transmission shaft locking, the check engine light is on and the car completely refuses to start. Unfortunately, I have been stuck on the side of the road with an inoperable, hazardous vehicle. This dangerous failure perfectly mirrors the conditions described in NHTSA Safety Recall Campaign Number 14V092000 (GM Campaign Number 14048) concerning transmission shift cable separation. I am filing this complaint to ensure this severe safety issue is officially documented against my vehicle's profile, and to request immediate assistance in ensuring General Motors provides a swift, remedy and safe towing for this severe manufacturing defect. Thank you for your prompt attention to this urgent safety matter, for not only my Safety, but also the Safety for others on the road. Everyone's time, guidance, attention and genuine concern for this unfortunate situation is beyond more than I can express in writing form, again Thank You!

for the best." On May 12, 2026, while driving about 25 mph, I heard a loud pop/bang from under the car, an electrical warning appeared, the vehicle lost power and stopped in traffic, and would not shift out of Park or move. The dealer found the high-voltage box exploded, all high-voltage fuses blown including the 500-amp fuse, the power relay assembly shorted, and connectors damaged by heat; about $16,324 of high-voltage components were replaced under warranty. The dealer and Kia engineering could not determine the cause; the service advisor wrote on July 22, 2026: "We do not have a smoking gun as to what caused all of this... anything is all a guess." On Oct 17, 2026 I found the car completely dead again at the dealership, and it has continued to show electrical faults. After I retrieved the car on Oct 26, 2026, it developed further electrical faults, which I reported to the dealership in writing, including the mirror and remote start failing, false door-unlocked warnings while driving, and two occasions when the car stalled and then recovered. On Nov 2, 2026, the car displayed a charging fault and would not charge at all; the dealership's general manager advised me in writing to discontinue charging attempts until the vehicle is evaluated. The dealership has repeatedly declined to state that the vehicle is safe to drive. I am concerned the vehicle is unsafe and that the recall remedy has not corrected the defect.

underlying issue has not been permanently resolved. Additionally, another 2023 Dodge Charger SXT owned by a family member is experiencing a similar parking brake problem. This raises concerns that the defect may affect multiple vehicles rather than being an isolated mechanical failure. The malfunction presents a potential safety hazard because an unreliable parking brake could allow the vehicle to roll unexpectedly, particularly when parked on an incline, potentially causing a collision, property damage, or serious injury. I am aware of NHTSA Safety Recall 24V-112 (FCA Recall 01B), which addresses improperly adjusted parking brakes on certain 2023 Dodge Charger vehicles. I am concerned that my vehicle may be experiencing the same or a related defect. Despite multiple paid repair attempts, the parking brake issue continues to recur. The vehicle and parking brake system are available for further inspection upon request. I respectfully request that NHTSA investigate this recurring safety concern, evaluate whether additional 2023 Dodge Charger vehicles may be affected, and determine whether an expansion of the existing recall or other corrective action is warranted.

side street onto a major road. This has started to happen everyday and is posing a safety issue for my two young children, family, and other motorists. This electrical issue is a well known problem of this model and multiple calls to the manufacturer and the dealership leaves me in the middle where neither want to provide a path for assistance as the dealership explains my issue as a manufacturer problem. In the past 3 weeks the electrical issue has impacted the vehicles ability to consistently start, sometimes the engine won't turn over and I have to jump the vehicle on an increasing basis. The start-stop system has created further electrical problems where the start-stop dash signal is on constantly, the dashboard lights up sporadically, and today the vehicle would not unlock by using the key fobs and with no physical key I am not able to access the vehicle.
