The vehicle subsequently shut down in traffic, placing my family and surrounding motorists at risk. It was towed to Arrigo Sawgrass Jeep on December 15. On August 14, 2026, while driving my son to school, the vehicle again experienced violent jolting and displayed a shutdown warning. During the subsequent repair visit, the dealership service manager informed me that Stellantis engineers had not identified a permanent fix. The August 26 service documentation references manufacturer STAR engineering involvement and instructions to perform a system calibration. On October 19, 2026, another charging-system warning resulted in the vehicle returning to the dealership. The October 28 repair invoice documents charging-related fault codes, an Intelligent Battery Sensor issue, and a pin-fitment problem involving circuit D404. The dealership adjusted the connection and reported the vehicle was operating as designed. I retrieved it on October 31. Despite repeated repair attempts and manufacturer involvement, I have experienced recurring serious electrical malfunctions. I remain concerned that the vehicle could unexpectedly lose propulsion or shut down again while driving, potentially causing a collision or serious injury. I request that NHTSA investigate these safety-related failures and determine whether other vehicles are affected. Stellantis has denied my three repurchase requests despite repeated safety failures and my ongoing concerns about driving.

beginning shortly after I purchased it brand new. Due to this ongoing issue, I make it a point to keep extra engine oil in my trunk so I can monitor and maintain the proper oil level. On [redacted], I stopped by the Joe Holland Hyundai Service Department and spoke with [[redacted]] about the oil warning light continuing to flicker while driving. Unfortunately, no resolution or explanation was provided. However, [[redacted]] did acknowledge that the engine in my vehicle had previously been identified on a problem list due to a machining error that occurred during the engine manufacturing process. This acknowledgment is particularly concerning because it suggests that Hyundai was aware of a potential manufacturing defect involving this engine. Despite the vehicle's ongoing oil consumption and the appearance of the oil warning light, I have yet to receive a satisfactory explanation or resolution from the dealership.

created an immediate safety hazard because I was unable to maintain control of the vehicle's speed or bring it to a safe stop. As a result, the vehicle struck utility power equipment near my residence. The incident placed me, nearby residents, pedestrians, and motorists at risk of injury. The collision also caused a power outage affecting homes in the surrounding neighborhood. At this time, the cause of the engine and brake failure has not been reproduced or confirmed by a Cadillac dealer or independent repair facility. The matter remains under investigation pending inspection of the vehicle and its components. The incident was reported to 911, and a police report was generated. The vehicle has been reported to my insurance carrier, USAA. As of the date of this statement, the vehicle has not yet been inspected by General Motors or a Cadillac dealer for purposes of determining the cause of the failure. Additional inspections may be conducted by insurance representatives, repair specialists, or other qualified parties. Prior to the incident, I did not observe any warning lamps, brake system alerts, engine warnings, or other messages that would have indicated an imminent loss of braking capability or engine failure. The failure occurred suddenly on October 30, 2026, at approximately 3:10 PM. The vehicle had recently undergone a 120,000-mile service inspection, and no issues were identified that would have suggested an imminent catastrophic failure.

22, 2026 that the dealer was unable to duplicate any issue and the transmission was operating normally. On September 30, 2026, at about 70,000 miles, the transmission failed and the car stopped in the middle of the road in my community. It would not engage first gear and was diagnosed as a mechanical failure of the odd gear fork. No crash, no injury. It was towed to Ourisman Chantilly Kia. Replacement parts were $4,094.67 on October 11, 2026 and labor was $3,180.46 on October 20, 2026, total $7,275.13. Two transmissions have failed by about 70,000 miles. The September odd gear failure may or may not be related to the earlier shifting issue. I am filing this as a defect and safety complaint, not a reimbursement request. I authorize NHTSA to share my contact details with Kia.

department and police who extinguished the fire. I had the truck towed to Knapps Motors Chevy in [[redacted]]. After looking at the truck, they determined the transfer case siezed and luckily exploded the housing rather than locking up the wheels. If a motorist would have been to my right, they would have been the victim of metal shards and burning oil. This not to diminish the terrible possibility of the wheels locking while driving at 75 miles per hour. After working through GMs customer service line, they have been of no assistance whatsoever. They are pushing the repair on the extended warranty company Portfolio, who is in the process of fixing. I've been without a vehicle for more than a month, as im told the transfer case is a known issue and has an updated part number. The 2026 model year has a federal do not drive recall #26V289 due to an improperly built transfer case missing an oil pickup tube. This has been a terribly unnerving experience and feel this truck should be also involved in the recall.

repaired the transmission in July 2026 at 24,075 miles. It returned within about 500 miles. The dealer could not duplicate it in September 2026. In October 2026 the dealer confirmed the problem and replaced the torque converter. The odometer read 26,423 miles on October 29, 2026. There was no crash or injury, but this was a near collision at highway speed. Ford case numbers: CXH-08566342-K5D9F1 and CXH-09640578-G1Z5H1.

later registered and operated for approximately five years in [[redacted]], where winter road-salt exposure is routine, and was subsequently returned to [[redacted]]. The vehicle was parked immediately and has not been driven since; it is available for inspection upon request. Safety was put at risk because the failure occurred while the vehicle was in motion on a public road. A separated rear lower link allows the wheel to move out of alignment, which can cause sudden loss of vehicle control, particularly at higher speeds. The failure ha not yet been confirmed by a dealer or independent service center; the vehicle is awaiting tow to a repair facility. No warning lamps, messages, or symptoms appeared prior to the morning of [redacted]. I contacted Nissan USA Consumer Affairs regarding this failure. They checked the VIN, stated that service campaign P9324 is not open on this vehicle in their [[redacted]] system, performed no inspection or repair, and referred the matter to Nissan Canada. The vehicle has not been inspected by the manufacturer. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)

vehicle towed to Fred Beans Kia Mechanicsburg, PA. They could not find anything wrong and are returning the vehicle as is. I have a complaint in with the service manager and am quite concerned.

pedestrians, children, pets, and obstacles behind the vehicle. When the image flickers or becomes unreliable, it can compromise the driver's ability to safely maneuver in reverse and increase the risk of an accident or injury. I am concerned that this issue may be related to the rearview camera defect addressed by Hyundai Safety Recall 271 (NHTSA Campaign Number 24V879000). I would like NHTSA to investigate whether this problem affects additional vehicles or whether the existing recall adequately addresses the underlying defect. I am requesting that NHTSA review this complaint, investigate the cause of the backup camera malfunction, and determine whether additional safety action or an expanded recall is warranted. A malfunctioning rearview camera should not be dismissed as a minor inconvenience when it directly affects driver visibility and pedestrian safety. The vehicle's VIN is [[redacted]]. I ask that NHTSA consider this specific vehicle and its reported symptoms when evaluating the scope and effectiveness of the existing recall. I respectfully request that this complaint be documented and considered as part of NHTSA's ongoing vehicle safety investigations and recall evaluations.

also detached while tightening the bolt with a standard hand wrench. The bolt initially turned normally before encountering resistance. No torque measurement was available. Two separate captive nuts have now failed, leaving the passenger seat improperly secured to the vehicle floor and creating a significant occupant safety concern, particularly during a collision. I am concerned about the integrity of the captive nut attachments and whether this represents a manufacturing or assembly defect. The cause has not yet been determined. I request that NHTSA investigate whether similar seat anchorage failures affect other Rivian R1S vehicles. I am also requesting a manufacturer-approved structural repair and engineering evaluation from Rivian.

malfunctioned again. The map moved rapidly up and down and could not accurately determine my location. I recorded video evidence of this incident. I previously contacted NissanConnect customer support and was instructed to reboot the system. Despite following these instructions, the problems continue. The vehicle has not yet been inspected or diagnosed by an authorized Nissan dealership. The underlying cause remains unknown, and the vehicle is available for inspection upon request. These repeated electronic malfunctions in a brand-new vehicle are extremely concerning and frustrating. I purchased a new vehicle expecting reliability, safety, and properly functioning technology. I am concerned that these recurring issues may indicate an underlying electrical or software defect that could potentially affect other vehicle systems. Although I have not experienced engine shutdown or loss of propulsion, I am concerned about the overall reliability and safety of the vehicle. The navigation malfunction also presents a potential safety risk, particularly when driving on unfamiliar roads or relying on GPS directions. I respectfully request that NHTSA document and investigate these recurring electronic malfunctions to determine whether they indicate a potential safety-related defect. I have retained video evidence of the October 31, 2026, incident and can provide it upon request.
