The most universal symptom is a sudden, overpowering raw gasoline odor emanating from the rear of the car after parking. This smell will quickly fill a closed garage and can often permeate into the cabin through the HVAC system while driving. High-pressure fuel line leaks are an increasingly documented issue within the 992.1 community (affecting Base, S, and GTS models alike)

My 2015 Jeep Wrangler has experienced multiple incidents of sudden, unexpected engine shutdown while driving. Without warning, the engine completely loses power, causing the vehicle to lose propulsion and power steering assistance. The dashboard lights and radio remain operational during these incidents. I must turn the ignition off and restart the vehicle, after which the engine starts immediately and operates normally. The vehicle previously experienced similar problems involving additional electrical...

malfunctions. The fuel pump was subsequently replaced, and the camshafts and rocker arms have also been replaced. Despite these repairs, the engine has unexpectedly shut off approximately two or three additional times. These incidents occur intermittently and without warning, making them difficult to reproduce during dealership inspections. I am concerned that the vehicle could suddenly lose power in heavy traffic or at highway speeds (as it's done previously even in the pouring rain), potentially resulting in a serious collision. The underlying cause remains undiagnosed and unresolved.
Loss of power, shuddering, hesitation upon attempt to accelerate. 8-speed automatic transmission failure, known to GMC at the time of purchase (2017). GM Service Bulletin 39370 dated April 2016.
The vehicle experienced a complete and catastrophic loss of drive power, rendering the care entirely undriveable. This failure perfectly mirrors the exact safetyhazard detailed in NHTSA Recall 22V760 regarding a manufacturing defect in the electric oil pump of the 8 speed dual clutch transmission, which triggers a fail safe mode and cuts all propulsion. Previously, the servicing dealership, Kia of Columbia ([[redacted]]), performed a transmission control unit software flash related to this recall. The dealership...

then reported the recall remedy as fully completed and resolved to both KIA America and the NHTSA database, effectively cancelling the active recall status for my VIN. However, the dealership failed to perform the mandatory physical inspection or complete unit replacement required for an actively failing component. They dismissed my ongoing complaints regarding transmission driveability, flasely blaming my driving habits. Because the software update merely delayed the inevitable mechanical failure of the defective factory pump, the transmission has now completely failed, leaving my family two hours away from the dealership. Th Dealership incorrectly and falsely reported a critical federal safety recall as "repaired" to the NHTSA while leaving a defective, hazardous transmission in my wife's vehicle, that she uses to get back and forth from her cancer treatments. I am requesting a formal federal investigation into the repair reporting pracices of Kia of Columbia, demanding the Kia America re-open this case to authorize a complete replacement transmission unit under the original saftey mandate.

A mechanic inspected or evaluated the vehicle and told me that the small fuel filter/strainer inside the fuel pump assembly may be causing the problem. The vehicle has intermittent starting difficulties, rough engine operation, and sudden loss of engine power while driving. The accelerator sometimes becomes unresponsive until I pull over, turn off the engine, and restart the vehicle. I am concerned about a possible fuel delivery system malfunction and the risk of losing power unexpectedly while driving. I am requesting an investigation into the fuel pump assembly and its internal filter.
I was driving and heard a loud pop.It was very loud like a firework went off in my car. My back window then shattered into a million pieces. I made a police report.
the fuel sensor has failed. I have 98.837 miles on the truck. I have seen the same problem stated on youtube of mother [[redacted]] having the same problem with the fuel sensor. The fix has been because of the route the wire runs behind the driver side fender guard in the wheel well has a spot which breaks the wire.

While driving, the vehicle experiences a sudden and intermittent "catching" or sticking sensation in the steering wheel. This issue happens exclusively when initiating a slight turn to the left, specifically around the 11 o'clock steering wheel position. There is no noise (no clunking, clicking, or grinding) associated with the failure. When the steering wheel "catches," it requires additional physical force to pull the wheel past the sticking point. Once it breaks free, the electric power steering suddenly engages with a sharp jolt, which causes the vehicle to momentarily jerk or oversteer.
The car suddenly report Collision and Pre- Collision problems. Suddenly didn't want to turn on. I start to look around the problem. Probable cause, the fuel pump is death. I learn thet certain Camry's 2019 where in this list of recalls by this same problem. I never received a message recall from toyota in my address or any report in my version. Want to make sure my problem is related to this recall. Thanks in advance.
I've had 4 transmissions since I bought truck in april. This is absurd. It jumps from 4th to 10th gear and slams back down randomly. Wrench light is back on in under 500 miles. Help!
While driving my engine seized up and my car completely stopped. I was luckily able to coast it to the side of the highway without getting into an accident. I had it towed to Go Hyundai in [[redacted]]. The did the diagnostic, found it was covered by the recall and allegedly ordered the engine.

My 2021 Hyundai Santa Fe SE (VIN: [[redacted]]), with approximately 93,000 miles, has repeatedly experienced a dangerous loss of acceleration while driving at highway speeds of approximately 60 mph. When I press the gas pedal, the vehicle fails to accelerate, making it difficult to merge, pass, or respond safely to traffic. The vehicle does not suddenly slow down, but it will not increase speed when needed. This creates a serious safety risk to me and other motorists. The problem occurs without a check-engine...

light or advance warning. I have noticed abnormal behavior involving the Idle Stop & Go "A" indicator, which changes between orange and white. Coconut Creek Hyundai, an authorized Hyundai dealership, has inspected the vehicle multiple times. The dealership initially replaced the battery, then diagnosed and replaced the high-pressure fuel pump. The pump was replaced a second time due to a reported issue with the replacement. Software updates or resets were also performed. Despite these repairs, the original acceleration problem continued. The dealership has now diagnosed all four fuel injectors as severely clogged or defective and recommends replacing them. The service advisor stated in writing that the high-pressure fuel pump failure caused the injectors to fail. However, the dealership has not explained why this damage was not identified during earlier repairs or provided assurance that replacing the injectors will resolve the acceleration problem. Hyundai Motor America has been contacted regarding the repairs. The vehicle and dealership service records are available for inspection upon request. Availability of previously removed parts must be confirmed with the dealership. I request that NHTSA investigate this recurring highway acceleration failure as a potential vehicle safety defect. Multiple repair attempts have failed to resolve a condition that could result in a serious accident. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)
Trunk latch failed after 2 years cannot open trunk with key or latch by front seat tried to open trunk and latch will not engage to open,
I was at a red light stopped and proceeded to drive forward because the light had turned green - within 30 seconds of driving forward, my passenger headrest deployed automatically. It made a loud noise, scaring the heck out of me. The noise was so loud I thought somebody was firing a gun. This could be a huge safety concern if somebody was sitting in my passenger seat and the headrest slammed forward toward their head. The noise scared me so much I swerved off the road almost hitting a guard rail. Thankfully, I wasn't going too fast.
We've been having check engine light on "Cylinder 2 misfire". We had the spark plugs replaced and the ignition coil replaced, which fixed it for about a month, but it returned. We had further diagnostics done with video into cylinder 2 and found that we have engine coolant leaking into the cylinder. Apparently, this is a known, unrecalled issue from Ford on this engine with the coolant intrusion. Only fix is to replace the motor. Car has about 120,000 miles on it, but well taken care of. Works great otherwise, but with this issue, the engine could lock up or catch on fire on the road.
I own a 2026 Mazda CX-5 (Premium Plus) experiencing critical, cascading safety defects involving the vehicle's telematics and driver-assistance systems. I have video evidence of the defect.

stationary, the vehicle commands unexpected acceleration toward stopped cars, creating an immediate collision hazard requiring manual braking. Inoperative Emergency SOS System: The vehicle's in-cabin SOS Emergency Call (eCall) button is completely inoperative and malfunctioning due to internal telematics communication failures, disabling critical emergency response capabilities. These concurrent failures of active safety controls and emergency communication systems present a severe risk to public safety. The vehicle has already undergone multiple software updates and repair visits with no resolution.

To Mall of Georgia Ford Service Management, I am writing to formally express my extreme disappointment, shock, and serious concern regarding a dangerous incident involving my vehicle on October 31, 2026. What occurred was not only frightening but potentially life-threatening, and I am extremely disturbed by the possibility that this incident may be directly related to safety recalls that your dealership represented as having been completed. While driving, my vehicle was running low on fuel when it suddenly began...

operating abnormally. The engine started idling at an unusually high RPM, causing the vehicle to accelerate unexpectedly as I was pulling away from a red traffic light. The vehicle surged forward with such force that I nearly rear-ended another vehicle. I was genuinely frightened by the loss of control and the possibility of causing a serious accident that could have resulted in injuries or even fatalities. What makes this situation particularly alarming is that I strongly suspect this malfunction may be connected to an outstanding safety recall that was supposed to have been addressed during my vehicle's service appointment. **I was specifically advised by my service advisor at Mall of Georgia Ford Service that ALL recalls had been completed.** However, after independently reviewing my vehicle's recall records, I discovered that the exact same THREE recalls are still showing as OPEN. I find this absolutely unacceptable. How can a dealership assure a customer that all safety recalls have been completed when the manufacturer's records continue to show three outstanding recalls? More importantly, how was my vehicle returned to me with potentially unresolved safety defects that could place my life, my family's lives, and the lives of other motorists in danger? I trusted Mall of Georgia Ford Service to properly inspect, service, and address these safety concerns. That trust has now been seriously compromised. **I AM DEMANDING THE FOLLOWING:**
While driving my 2012 Jeep Wrangler Sport, the vehicle experienced a sudden and severe loss of engine power due to a cylinder failure on the left/driver-side cylinder head (cylinder #2). This defect causes the engine to experience persistent cylinder misfires, resulting in severe engine stumbling, hesitation, and a dangerous drop in acceleration capabilities. This creates an immediate safety hazard when attempting to merge onto high-speed highways, pull out into active traffic, or navigate intersections, as the...

vehicle cannot accelerate predictably to match traffic speeds. Furthermore, the persistent misfire causes unburned fuel to dump into the exhaust system, creating a secondary risk of catalytic converter overheating, damage to the exhaust system, and a potential engine bay fire hazard. This vehicle has only 86,000 original miles. This specific 3.6L Pentastar engine generation is subject to a widely documented manufacturing defect involving premature valve seat and head failure, which manifests as an unpredictable and sudden loss of motive power while the vehicle is in motion.
