While driving the powertrain cooling system failed. This caused rapid overheating of the engine and loss of power. The vehicle was temporarily stranded in a busy intersection. This is a well documented problem with the thermostat in the engine cooling system. A technical service bulletin has been issued on corrective action with an improved OEM part. Failure of the power system occurred rapidly. This was highly dangerous and could have been catastrophic in a highway scenario. I find it negligent that Jeep has acknowledged this problem but refused to issue a recall to provide proactive corrective action.

i was driving and the headlights dimmed and went out, almost causing accident. I brought it to my mechanic and at [[redacted]] it says the alternator on your vehicle may experience a rapid alternator failure due to diode thermal fatigue. Variability in the failure mode ranges from no output, reduced output, and/or a fully shorted to ground condition. Depending on the alternator failure mode and timing, the vehicle electrical system voltage may drop to critical level, disabling systems such as ABS, ESC, and ECM...

Was about 1 and a half hours into my 8 hour trip home, when I started to hear a clanging sound coming from my engine after I passed a slow moving RV. The truck ran for about 20 additional minutes when it lost power and shut off. Mileage was at a little over 16,000 miles. No warning lamps, messages or other symptoms of the problem prior to the failure. I was fortunate to be pulling into a parking lot when it shut down, GMC roadside assistance had my truck towed to a GMC dealer where it was determined the engine was blown. They replaced the engine.
Supplement to complaint 11743619. The 3.3L Lambda II GDI engine seized at highway speed on January 16, 2022 (connecting-rod-bearing failure, internal components through the block). The vehicle lost all power and power steering, left the roadway and crashed off-road while the driver tried to bring it to a stop, with four occupants aboard.

Motor America (Case #42605065) has refused to inspect the engine, citing rodent-related damage and outside influence. The engine has not been inspected under TXX8 and the failure cause has not been determined. Photographs of the block and the debris-torn front harness are available on request.
On or around 4/8/2025, we purchased a vehicle from the site. We selected the car we did because it had less mileage than the car we were comparing it to. During a routine oil change, we were told by staff that the mileage had been altered. Their service history showed the mileage as closer to 60K more miles in 2020. Using google and the vin number, I was able to find that the total mileage in 2022 was over 192K. We had attempted to resolve the matter directly with the site on 10/24/2026, but the seller instead...

demanded an additional $2,000.00. We left the meeting as he would not help us. After the meeting, we were informed that he reached out to a mutual contact and was making derogatory remarks about myself and my wife. It was at this point we opted to no longer speak directly to him, instead looking for legal representation. The following day, 10/25/2026, he began calling us daily, attempting to strong arm us into settling directly with him. Any help you can provide would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.
The airbag light is on and we received a letter talking about the airbag for this year model g90. When we took it to the dealership they are telling us that it is not covered saying it's the airbag and clock spring. We bought the car brand new and have always used the dealership for repairs. We picked the car up from the dealership today and the light is still on.
The components and systems experiencing problems in my 2020 Nissan Altima S 2.5L include the engine, throttle body, and mass airflow (MAF) sensor system. The vehicle has experienced severe engine performance issues, including excessive fuel consumption, jerking, hesitation during acceleration, reduced engine power, and unexpected limp mode. The safety of myself and others were put at risk because the car did not accelerate anymore in the middle of on going traffic. It was me and my 2 underaged children in the car. Yes it has been confirmed by an independent service center. Yes, insurance representatives and others including mechanics. Check engine light appeared
The vehicle suffered a sudden and dangerous internal transmission mechanical failure while driving. While attempting to clear a busy intersection, the 10R80 10-speed automatic transmission unexpectedly "neutraled out," causing a complete and total loss of forward motive power. The engine revved freely, but no power was sent to the wheels, leaving the vehicle completely stranded in the path of oncoming traffic. This created an immediate, life-threatening safety hazard, nearly resulting in a severe T-bone collision...

before the vehicle could be safely moved out of harm's way. The vehicle was driven directly to a certified Ford dealership, where technicians officially diagnosed the issue as a migrated CDF clutch drum bushing, an internal defect heavily documented under Ford Technical Service Bulletin TSB 24-2101. The failure occurred with no prior dashboard warning lamps or warning messages. The defective component is currently at the dealership and is available for inspection upon request.
While executing a controlled emergency stop from 38 mph on a flat, debris-free road, the factory front wheel structurally failed and disintegrated. This catastrophic component failure directly caused the subsequent low-side layout. Putting my safety at risk, I had to be seen by medical professionals due to the injuries I sustained from the low-side layout. The vehicle has not been inspected, yet I have an appointment on 11/4/20226 to have the motorcycle seen by the dealer; there were no warning lights.
I am filing a safety complaint regarding my 2025 Nissan Pathfinder, purchased new in June 2025. Since purchasing the vehicle, I have experienced multiple recurring mechanical and safety concerns that remain unresolved despite approximately four dealership repair visits and nine days out of service. The vehicle experiences excessive vibration during startup, while idling, and when placed in reverse. It also makes a noticeable clunking noise when shifting into park and an intermittent metallic grinding noise during...

cold starts. At times, the vehicle feels as though it may stall, and the engine RPMs fluctuate while the air conditioning begins blowing warm air. Additionally, the vehicle has displayed a collision warning system malfunction, experienced an unexpected battery failure, and required strut replacement. Motor mount concerns have also been identified. Despite repeated dealership visits, several issues remain unresolved. The dealership has repeatedly stated that certain problems could not be duplicated, even though I have video evidence documenting some of the symptoms. I am concerned about the possibility of unexpected power loss, mechanical failure, and malfunctioning collision safety systems, particularly while transporting my children. I am requesting that NHTSA investigate these potential safety defects and determine whether other 2025 Nissan Pathfinder owners are experiencing similar issues.
The contact owns a 2019 Ford Explorer. The contact stated that while driving, the vehicle started vibrating and felt like the rear end was driving over a bump in the roadway. The failure was a recurring failure. The contact stated that the failure started after the vehicle was repaired under NHTSA Campaign Number: 26V101000 (Suspension). The dealer was contacted but was unable to duplicate the failure. The dealer confirmed issues with the driveshaft, tires, and the engine, but denied covering the cost of the repair. The manufacturer was contacted by phone and made aware of the failure but provided no additional assistance. The failure mileage was approximately 95,000.
My Mazda dealership in Lodi recommended service on a timing cover seal. They could see oil leaking but failed to check if the oil was coming from the timing cover or cylinder head, which is a known issue according to a service bulletin. I left the dealership with a "ticking time bomb" in which my car was still smoking and becoming unsafe to drive. The dealership is unjustly stating that I need to also pay for this service when the initial service never fixed the problem.
While driving my 2021 Land Rover Range Rover, the vehicle unexpectedly began slowing down, lost driving power, and eventually stopped. After stopping, the vehicle would not restart. The vehicle has experienced a battery-draining problem, which may be related to the unexpected loss of driving power. The exact cause has not been confirmed to me. The vehicle was taken to the authorized Land Rover Southwest Houston dealership, where it currently remains. The dealership's Service Department instructed us to pick up...

the vehicle but simultaneously advised us not to drive it frequently because it could stop unexpectedly at any time. The Service Department also informed us that the recall remedy would not be available until January 2027. I am extremely concerned that an authorized Land Rover Service Department would instruct a customer to collect a vehicle while acknowledging that it could unexpectedly stop operating again. The vehicle has not been returned to me, and I have not received written confirmation that the safety issue has been resolved or that the vehicle is safe to operate. This condition presents a potentially serious safety hazard because an unexpected loss of driving power while traveling on public roads could result in a collision or injury. I am requesting that NHTSA investigate this loss-of-power condition, determine whether it is associated with an existing safety recall, and review the unresolved safety concern. The vehicle remains at the dealership and is available for inspection.
The contact owns a 2019 Lincoln Navigator. The contact stated that while driving 45-50 MPH, there was an abnormally loud popping sound, and the contact felt an impact to the chest, and became aware of an abnormal odor. The seat belt warning light had illuminated after the failure. The contact stated that the front driver's side seat belt retracted and locked. The contact pulled over to the side of the road, where bystanders assisted in freeing the contact from the locked seat belt by sliding the front driver's seat...

rearward while unlatching the seat belt buckle. The contact sustained bruises to the chest. The contact resumed driving after 20 minutes. The dealer was contacted by phone and informed the contact that the failure was associated with NHTSA Campaign Number: 26V344000 (Seat Belts); however, the part to do the recall repair was not yet available. The contact stated that the manufacturer had exceeded a reasonable amount of time for the recall repair. The manufacturer was notified of the failure by phone and confirmed that the part was not yet available for the recall repair. The failure mileage was 163,689.
The vehicle develops a severe film/haze on the interior windshield that cannot be adequately cleared during normal operation. At night, oncoming headlights and streetlights cause extreme glare and significantly impair visibility. The condition has resulted in headaches and dizziness while driving due to eye strain. Visibility is reduced to a dangerous level, creating a safety hazard and increasing the risk of a crash. Repair estimates exceed $2,000. With colder weather approaching, driving with the windows down is not a reasonable or safe workaround.
I had an engine replaced at 7214 Miles, and now the second engine at 39057 This is a 2022 GMC Sierra AT4, 1500 6.2 engine
We purchased this vehicle from a local dealer brand new. It was titled in my father in-laws name but now ours (hence 2 owners on vin). at 108,[redacted] miles, we began to experience loud grumbling. We took it to a Toyota Dealer and it was diagnosed as "catastrophic transmission failure". They wanted $11k for a transmission replaced for a car worth maybe $14k. We did not perform the repair. After a few weeks, the noise got better. People online were having the same issue. At 129,[redacted] miles, we got a notice in...

the mail from Toyota Corporate with our name and VIN number on it. It stated extended warranty service coverage for up to September 2027 with no miles limitation. I took the car in to the dealer we purchased the vehicle from and they could not get the symptoms to replicate. After 1 week without the vehicle, we picked it up and went home. The symptoms have came and went, but at the end of October 2026, they were very bad. I dropped off the vehicle on 11/2/2026 and it was diagnosed again with a transmission replacement needed. After informing me and getting my hopes up again, they left me with a lemon that is unsafe to drive and worth $0 resale. The dealership followed the steps for Toyota's extended service, but the serial number on the transmission did not match the programs' needs. Neither Toyota or the local dealer will do anything for me even though the symptoms, model, make, year, and VIN all are recorded to have these same symptoms and issues. Toyota is aware of these issues but not willing to acknowledge certain serial numbers at this time..... Needs investigation.
