Vehicle experienced an eTorque hybrid auto-start failure at a stoplight, leaving the vehicle stranded in traffic until a manual restart was performed. The electrical charging system dropped to 12V. The dealership pulled the codes, cleared them without providing a record to the owner, and attempted to charge out-of-pocket for an unneeded mechanical belt and tensioners, which an independent shop later confirmed are perfectly fine. The independent shop suspects an internal MGU failure, matching NHTSA investigation PE24018." (This adds your truck to the active federal data pool)

My 2018 Toyota Highlander AWD (75,000 miles) was diagnosed with internal transmission failure on its UA80F 8-speed automatic transmission. The diagnosis confirmed fluid shear and internal metal wear requiring a $9,000+ replacement. The UA80 series is subject to Toyota TSB T-SB-0160-18 and Customer Support Program ZJC for factory assembly flaws involving retaining hardware and bearing wear. Toyota denied goodwill coverage because my VIN falls outside their narrow ZJC date window. Component Failed & Inspection...

Availability: UA80F 8-speed automatic transmission assembly (powertrain). The vehicle and transmission are intact and available for NHTSA or manufacturer inspection upon request. Safety Risk: Premature internal mechanical failure of the UA80F transaxle presents a severe highway safety risk. Gear wear, fluid shear, and bearing failure in this unit can rapidly progress to a sudden loss of forward propulsion, gear slippage, or full transaxle lockup at high speeds, creating an extreme collision hazard. Dealer/Independent Confirmation: Yes. Confirmed by a technician during a professional inspection that documented stored transmission codes (P0741,P2714 & P2757) and a $9,000+ replacement estimate at 75k miles. Manufacturer/Other Inspections: Inspected by an authorized Toyota dealer and escalated to Toyota Customer Experience (Case File Opened). Toyota acknowledged the diagnosis but denied goodwill assistance due to VIN parameters. No police or insurance inspections have occurred. Warning Lamps & Prior Symptoms: A Check Engine Light illuminated, prompting the inspection, but self-cleared before arriving at the dealer. Stored TCM codes confirmed an active failure. This self-clearing behavior masks an active mechanical defect, creating an additional safety hazard.
I have noticed a warning sign and heaviness to steer wheel, also unable to use autosteer, full self driving feature. I tried to reset to see if it could fix the issue but wasn't able to. I contacted Tesla service to see if the repair would be covered by warranty but they said my car's warranty has expired. I feel like this is unfair, and it should be handled as defective issue. My car is 2022 model which it has less than 50k miles on it. I feel unsafe to drive it since the issue, electrical issue can be dangerous while on the road and Tesla should be responsible for the repaire. Please help me with this issue!
The issues is the engine shuts off at idle or in motion. Sometimes hard to start but it cranks over well. Then when it restarts after a shut down, three lights stay on some traction control, the steering and a picture of a car downhill with a clock or engine RPM light. No check engine light on. Then recently the tachometer doesn't work after a shutdown then restart. But when you turn off the engine with ignition, then restart the third time. The lights all go off then the RPM gauge works. But the whole time the engine runs great. When I check ECM all is good no Fault codes, I monitor fuel pressure the low psi is 40 the high side is 999 psi. Is this a common issue with these cars?
The contact owns a 2018 Chrysler Pacifica Plug-In Hybrid. The contact stated that while driving at an undisclosed speed, the vehicle suddenly shut off in the middle of the road and blocked traffic. The message "Battery Failure - Seek Service" was displayed and the check engine warning light was illuminated several times prior to the failure. The vehicle was taken to the dealer; however, the technician was unable to duplicate the failure. The failure mileage was 50,000.
My car has been giving me issues for over 6 months. The staff at Hyundai have no idea what is going on. I bought my car from Hyundai and have only gotten service from Hyundai. On my dashboard you will see several lights blinking. The seatbelt signs in the back light up when no one is in the seat. The lights on the dashboard are very dim. The blinkers do not work sometimes. Some days I cannot automatic start or open the back cab. All of this is random and happens whenever with no warning.
While driving on highway with wet roads, the steering suddenly seemed to pull to the right causing the vehicle to lose control and spin finally hitting the side barrier. I then noticed that the steering wheel was no longer aligned with the vehicle (photo attached). A few minutes prior I had an issue with the main console/radio unit and had to reboot as no sound was working. This leaves me to believe there was some type of electrical malfunction with the vehicle.
I own a 2019 Ford Edge Titanium with approximately 116,000 miles. My transmission recently experienced a catastrophic failure without any prior warning or indication of a problem. I have been extremely happy with this vehicle, and the engine and other major components remain in excellent condition. Unfortunately, the transmission failure has made the vehicle unusable and created a significant financial burden. I understand that Ford has issued technical service bulletins concerning internal transmission problems...

time for the recall repair. The manufacturer was contacted by phone and made aware of the failure. The contact stated that the vehicle needed to be repaired under the recall to register the license plates.
While driving the vehicle in a gradual turn, steering will stick and not return to center without applying extra force to the steering wheel.
My vehicle is having on going start up issues a month after purchased. Failed to restart after the automatic idle-stop system They replaced the starter & starter rely and still never fix the issue. The battery on the vehicle passed the battery test and I feel like my safety and children safety is in danger! The vehicle is not even 2 years old. The vehicle has left me at a red light , stop sign , gas station stuck due to the vehicle not turning on/ struggling to turn on . The dash board would light up with check engine, and lock the wheel.

On [redacted] at about 10:20 PM ET, I got into my 2024 Rivian R1S, parked in my driveway at home in [[redacted]], to drive away. The driver display immediately showed all of the yellow warning telltales together with a critical electrical system alert, and the vehicle could not be shifted into any gear. A vehicle restart did not change anything. The vehicle could not be driven and was towed to the Rivian Service Center in [[redacted]], where it arrived on [redacted] at 53,336 miles. Rivian kept it until [redacted],...

replaced the 12-volt battery, and updated the firmware. The repair invoice does not identify a root cause. This failure happened while the vehicle was parked. If the same low-voltage failure occurs while driving, the driver may lose the ability to select or maintain a drive gear and may lose warning and status information, with no prior warning. That creates a risk of a stall or loss of propulsion in traffic. The electrical, software, and display problems began much earlier. On [redacted], the center display screens went blank and would not power on; a soft restart helped only temporarily. On [redacted], the Rivian app stopped communicating with the vehicle and the vehicle's software would not update. Rivian confirmed a service appointment on [redacted], and in [redacted] (36,778 miles) found the vehicle had been offline for about two months; the repair required disabling 12-volt power and updating firmware. In [redacted] (44,779 miles) the screens again would not power on. Rivian logged an infotainment control module (XMM) board over-temperature fault (DTC B21014B), found the coolant well below the minimum line with air in the thermal system, and drained and refilled the coolant. The displays show gear selection, speed, warnings, and camera views, so blank screens remove information the driver needs. I am concerned that the root cause of the electrical failure has not been found and that it may recur while driving.

1) Gas tank 2) I was stranded in the highway, because the gas pump exploded 3)the car was taken to the dealer 4) no warning sign
My jeep stalled while attempting to accelerate from a stopped position at a stop light at a busy intersection on or around June/July 2026. The car remained on, the gear shifts were moveable, but the vehicle would not move despite pressing on the gas. I scheduled a tow. After ten minutes, it randomly accelerated about a block before stalling again. This continued about two more times as I tried to get the vehicle out of the middle of the road. The car then overheated and I was able to park it a few blocks away at my...

mom's house. In August/September 2026, I had the car towed to Complete Automotive, and Corwin Jeep for inspections. Progressive Insurance also inspected the issue and ruled out any residual effects from a 1.25.25 parked car front end hit and run collision. Complete Auto found an empty coolant reservoir, oil and coolant leaks, drive belt issues, PTU code, and warning light indicators; Corwin found PTU code and recommended a transfer case. The exact cause remains unknown. The vehicle has had ongoing hose and overheating issues since the day of purchase in 2018; and has underwent hose and radiator replacements that have not seemed to properly fix the issues surrounding sloshing noises, shuddering, shaking, grinding, intermittent lightening, brake fluid, oil, and coolant leaks, and overheating and engine light. Immediately before the vehicle stalled, there were no warning lamps; those messages indicating overheating lit up while attempting to move myself and the car to safety. The unexpected loss of propulsion presents a serious collision risk, especially in traffic, in rush hour at a busy intersection. The recurring overheating and coolant loss also create risk of sudden failure while driving, which has happened on a busy highway requiring repairs. These problems and safety risks have continued despite substantial repairs and repeated dealership inspections. The vehicle remains inoperable awaiting repairs at the Corwin Jeep Dealership.
