During recent weeks from mid August till now the AHB- Automatic HighBeam System DOES NOT function properly or display faulty information on the dashboard. Typically when a feature is either improperly working or temporarily unavailable it will display the information on the dashboard with the image/ feature in Amber/Yellow. Lately the system does not display any messages or feedback to the driver. During mornings and evenings the vehicle must be pulled off the road and we have to manually reset the system via...

setting in the drivers dashboard ( NOT THROUGH THE INFOTAINMENT SYSTEM ) this causes unnecessary delays and hazardous conditions. With the system improperly working it has become more dangerous and challenging driving in the morning/ night because we now know we can't rely on the safety feature to help us.
Recall on the fuel injector , recieved a recall alert in the mail . Informed me that Ford dose not recommend not driving the vehicle. Caught fire while I was driving it and burned up .
Electronic Parking Brake lights on the dashboard even though the EBP is disengaged. Car drives fine - just beeps due to the dashboard having the EBP sensor on.
My 2020 Honda Civic Sport Hatchback, 1.5L turbo, 6-speed manual, has experienced repeat premature clutch-system failure. The original clutch/flywheel assembly failed at about 34,000 miles. Honda repaired it under TSB 22-017, which addresses supplier production issues causing premature friction-disc wear. Honda advised that updated components were installed. Significant clutch slipping began again in early June 2026. At about 61,500 total miles, only about 27,500 miles after the first repair, transmission removal...

and clutch-component replacement were required. The onset date entered is approximate. The dealer documented: "Clutch shows sign of Heat Buildup on flywheel and pressure plate with debris inside bellhousing on release bearing. Recommend replacing Pressure plate, Friction Disc, and release bearing." Inspection photos show substantial heat discoloration of the pressure plate/flywheel and heat/glazing of the friction disc. The servicing Honda dealer did not identify driver abuse or improper clutch operation as the cause. No significant fluid contamination or catastrophic transmission damage was identified to me. I have substantial manual-transmission driving experience without comparable repeated failures. Clutch slipping allows RPM to rise without corresponding acceleration, creating a potential unexpected inability to accelerate when merging, entering traffic, crossing intersections or climbing grades. Honda classified this as out-of-warranty wear and tear. I request that NHTSA retain and compare this repeat premature failure, including failure of Honda's updated replacement, with other Civic manual-transmission complaints. Repair orders, photos, mileage documentation and the TSB can be provided upon request.
Dear NHTSA, The rear control arm on my 2015 Nissan Altima broke after driving over a very small speed bump at ~10-15 MPH. Had this happened at highway speed, my family's lives could have been at risk. A suspension component should not fail under such ordinary driving conditions. This incident has left me deeply concerned about the safety of my vehicle and the potential danger to other Nissan owners. Similar failures appear to have been reported online, yet I am unaware of a recall covering my vehicle. I urge...

NHTSA to investigate this issue and require a recall if warranted before someone is seriously injured. Please explain what action NHTSA has taken or plans to take. I can provide photographs and repair records. Thank you.
Coolant Intrusion and or cracked long engine block When I'm driving my car wants to lose power for example turning in traffic my car acts like it wants to turn off mid turn sometimes do coolant leaking in my engine which I have no control over due to the way my engine was made I have cyclinder 3 misfire. If my car is doing it I'm sure I'm not the only one having this issue on FORD EDGE 2017 make of suv I took it to the shop and ofc they say I need a new engine for something they made why make the engine this way if at some point they will be cracked long block or coolant intrusion, my car losing power could cause an accident
The vehicle has suffered multiple severe safety hazards involving the power sliding doors and the primary dashboard infotainment screen. 1. POWER SLIDING DOORS (BODY DEFECT): Both the left (driver) and right (passenger) power sliding doors have experienced a critical structural hardware failure of the center roller hinge assemblies. The passenger-side center roller wheels completely shattered during operation, causing the entire heavy sliding door to catastrophically detach and fall completely off the vehicle...

frame. The driver's side door center roller is now showing identical cracking plastic, binding, and imminent failure. This presents an extreme risk of severe crush injuries or trapping passengers. 2. UCONNECT TOUCH SCREEN (ELECTRICAL & VISIBILITY DEFECT): The factory 8.4-inch Uconnect infotainment touch screen has suffered an internal hardware failure that causes the screen to flash and strobe violently and continuously, even during system reboots. This flashing creates an intense driver distraction and cabin blinding hazard during night driving, severely compromising road visibility. Furthermore, the failure completely disables the backup safety camera and the ability to operate vehicle defrost and climate safety controls.
I am writing to formally escalate the recurring and increasingly serious technical and safety issues with my Tesla Model Y. Since July 2026, my vehicle has experienced multiple system malfunctions despite three service appointments, including the replacement of the vehicle computer during the most recent service. The frequency, severity, and nature of these failures have raised serious concerns regarding the vehicle's reliability, roadworthiness, and overall safety. What initially appeared to be intermittent...

system alerts has now escalated to situations involving reduced propulsion, loss of critical vehicle functionality, and the vehicle becoming completely immobile while driving. I am extremely disappointed that these issues continue to occur even after multiple service interventions. I no longer have confidence in the vehicle's ability to operate safely and reliably. he above incidents, combined with the repeated failures since July 2026, demonstrate a pattern of unresolved and potentially serious vehicle malfunctions. My concerns include: Repeated Park Assist and Adaptive Headlights malfunctions. Camera failures and abnormal vehicle visualizations. Vehicle computer replacement without lasting resolution. Electrical system power reduction and potential vehicle shutdown. Front motor disabling and reduced propulsion. Sudden reduction in acceleration and maximum speed. Windshield wiper failure during rainy weather. Automatic Vehicle Hold becoming unavailable. Automatic Emergency Braking becoming unavailable. Lane Departure Avoidance becoming unavailable. Vehicle becoming completely immobile while driving. Potential inability to restart the vehicle. Failure of driver-side door and trunk access. Unpredictable vehicle behavior and loss of confidence in its safety. These are not merely inconvenience-related issues. They involve fundamental vehicle operating systems and safety-related functions.

I brought my vehicle to an authorized Kia dealership to complete a mandatory safety recall on the high-pressure fuel pump. The dealership returned the vehicle to me and provided official service paperwork stating that the recall was fully completed. However, the recall work was not performed, and I was permitted to drive away in an unsafe, unrepaired vehicle. Upon discovering the error and returning to the shop, the dealership admitted they had mistakenly replaced the low-pressure fuel pump instead, while falsely...

logging it under the high-pressure fuel pump recall campaign. They also tried stating the reason it was still driving the way it was because the spark plugs needed replaced. They wanted over 1000$ for spark plugs so I said I'll take it to another shop to have those repairs done cheaper and when I did the new shop I took it to stated the high pressure fuel pump is needing replaced and I shouldn't drive it anymore. It was running around 4000 psi just idling. They had it towed to my house for me until I could get it back into Kia and speak to them. This whole time my car smelled like it was burning, it kept stalling and i was having difficulty driving at high speeds and even getting it to go. I was given the run around multiple times at the shop and i was there for four hours just to get my car back in and looked at.
I own a 2012 Toyota Prius with approximately 132,000 miles. I first experienced problems with the braking system approximately one year ago, in 2025. The ABS, brake, and other warning lights began illuminating intermittently, and I experienced occasional hesitation in braking response. I was concerned enough about the vehicle's safety that I stopped driving it for an extended period. After recently returning the vehicle to service, the warning lights continued to appear intermittently, even when the brakes seemed...

to function normally. An independent mechanic inspected the vehicle but could not retrieve a diagnostic code at that time. On November 1, 2026, an ABS diagnostic scan at O'Reilly Auto Parts confirmed trouble code C1391, "Abnormal Leak of Accumulator Pressure." The diagnostic report recommended replacement of the brake booster and master cylinder. Toyota previously acknowledged this brake booster problem through Customer Support Program ZJB, which covered certain 2010-2015 Prius vehicles with this defect. Despite my vehicle having fewer than 150,000 miles, Toyota informed me that the coverage period had expired and that no exceptions would be granted. I am concerned that this known braking system defect can develop in vehicles that remain in service after Toyota's limited coverage expires. The intermittent nature of the malfunction makes it particularly concerning because the brakes may appear normal even when an underlying hydraulic pressure problem exists. I request that NHTSA investigate whether this defect warrants a safety recall rather than a time-limited customer support program. My diagnostic report is available, and the vehicle can be made available for inspection upon request.
At roughly 15,000 miles, the OEM Falken tires experienced severe, premature tread degradation down to the cords under regular driving conditions. Mazda is aware of the defect, as documented in TSB 02-003/26 regarding higher-than-expected wear rates on these factory tires. Driving a 5,000-lb SUV with compromised tire integrity presents a severe safety hazard, including catastrophic highway blowout and loss of control. Mazda has avoided a formal safety recall by classifying the repair as limited 'goodwill assistance' while denying warranty reimbursement to affected owners. This widespread tire defect on heavy vehicles warrants immediate regulatory investigation.
The vehicle's component that fails seems to be the transmission locking up in first gear after accelerating from a stop. During wet conditions, the car will fish tail and the traction control will kick in.
-NEW Vehicle purchased 8/26 -All of the weatherstripping is not adhered to the vehicle, on all 4 doors This can create an issues with moisture and mold Dealer stated they replaced front door weatherstripping, but the same issue is there-it is not adhered to the vehicle and the other doors are the same Again this vehicle is brand new-it is a manufacture defect
front passenger headlight daytime running light went out right around 70k miles. paid $1200 to have it repaired, left one went out shortly after. can't afford to replace it. saw there's a lawsuit with these. makes it hard to drive at night with less light.
I am reporting a potential safety defect involving the fuel tank system of my 2021 Kia K5 LS. On August 17, 2026, my vehicle was inspected at Bayway Kia in connection with Kia recall SC356. The dealership documented the following on Repair Order #4972: "Recall SC356. Check and found fuel tank fail. Then open a Techline case." The dealership's documentation indicates that a fuel tank failure was identified and a Techline case was opened with Kia for further review. Kia America subsequently informed me that its...

preliminary evaluation found that the rear seat pan and strap deformation were consistent with the fuel tank expansion condition. I was advised that the vehicle was unsafe to drive. No repair addressing the documented fuel tank failure has been performed. The exact component failure and its cause have not been explained to me. Despite repeated requests, I have not received the detailed diagnostic findings, technician notes, photographs, diagnostic codes, or complete Techline case documentation. I am concerned about the potential safety implications of a fuel tank failure and the reported deformation of the surrounding vehicle structure, including whether the condition could create a risk of fuel leakage or fire. I am not claiming that a leak or fire occurred; I am requesting an independent safety review. The vehicle was inspected by Bayway Kia, and Kia America conducted a preliminary evaluation. The vehicle's availability for further inspection can be confirmed with the dealership. I do not know whether any warning lights or symptoms appeared before the inspection. I am requesting that NHTSA review this documented fuel tank failure, the associated deformation, and whether this condition may present a safety risk to occupants or other motorists.
For approximately the past year, my 2021 Hyundai Santa Fe, currently with about 23,000 miles, has experienced intermittent engine and fuel-system problems. During start-up, the vehicle sometimes makes an abnormal rattling/cranking noise, followed by noticeable engine and vehicle vibration. Warning lights may appear, and on some occasions the engine does not start successfully on the first attempt. When it does start, it may initially run rough. The vehicle has also stalled intermittently and has had repeated...

incidents where pressing the accelerator produced little to no engine response or acceleration. This creates a serious safety concern because the vehicle may unexpectedly stall, lose power, or fail to accelerate when needed while driving. The vehicle has been at an authorized Hyundai dealership for more than one month. The dealership has been working with Hyundai Tech Line and has replaced or evaluated the low-pressure fuel pump, high-pressure fuel injector, high-pressure fuel pump, MPI/port fuel injector, and valve cover. The latest recommendation is to drain, clean, and refill the fuel tank. Despite these repair attempts, the root cause has not been clearly identified or permanently resolved. I am concerned that the repair process has become trial and error, with additional components being replaced while the underlying safety-related issue remains unresolved. I am also being asked to pay out-of-pocket for some of these unsuccessful repair attempts. The vehicle is currently at the Hyundai dealership and is available for inspection if needed.
The UA80 Transmission whine began around 120000 miles, this transmission is from the same [[redacted]] plant that the ZJC CSP has been issued out of but they claim my vin doesn't fall into the margin of VIN numbers that are covered.

affected by this CSP it just wasn't added into the margin of VIN numbers that Toyota decided they would cover. There are plenty of forums and petitions on the internet of people going through this very same issue. I am amongst many who feel Toyota should have to expand the CSP to include any VIN with these transmissions in the years these were made to be covered.
