Vehicle intermittently drops engine power. Dealership found 35 stored fault codes and vehicle has repeatedly blown the F03 fuse causing a no start condition. This has happened repeatedly making this vehicle a severe collision hazard. Dealership, Southern Dodge Chrysler Jeep Fiat, Norfolk Virginia has not found the root cause after 400.00 dollars in diagnostic fee's. Manufacturer Stallantis opened a case number then closed the case number due to the dealership not able to duplicate issue in the service bay.
Randomly, the rear blind spot warning will go off even when there is nothing there while driving. It is typically always the right rear blind spot. It has done this for over 9 months now. I contacted the dealer but they ignored me.
PTU went out while driving. My jeep can't accelerate.
The contact owns a 2025 Nissan Rogue. While the vehicle was idling to warm up, there was an abnormal popping sound coming from the vehicle. Upon returning to the vehicle, the husband and a neighbor discovered that the rear glass had shattered. The dealer and the manufacturer were notified of the failure but declined to cover the repair because the rear glass was not covered under warranty or recall. The contact was referred to the insurance provider for assistance. The failure mileage was 45,530.
The light on the dash indicates an airbag warning. When looking up the warning, it says the air bag could deploy at any time and cause an unsafe or dangerous situation. I researched that there have been airbag issues with some of these cars and would like this fixed. This is my daughter's car, and I am concerned for her safety.
The front exhaust pipe assembly (heat exchanger) on my 2016 Toyota Prius leaked engine coolant internally into the exhaust system. Toyota has documented this condition in Technical Service Bulletin T-SB-0135-19 ("Low Coolant, MIL ON DTC P148F00, and/or Poor Heater Performance") for 2016-2019 Prius vehicles and released a redesigned replacement part (17410-37D40). In [October 2026], at about [97,000] miles, I found the engine coolant reservoir was emptying about every night (nearly a full reservoir) with no...

external leak. A shop pressure test found no leak. Coolant collected inside the tailpipe after the car sat overnight, and white steam came intermittently from the exhaust while driving. The car stored code P148F00. On [redacted] a Toyota dealer ([DEALER NAME], [[redacted]]) confirmed coolant leaking from the front exhaust pipe heat exchanger, per T-SB-0135-19, repair order #[RO NUMBER], and quoted $1,870 to replace the front exhaust pipe with the updated part. My concern is that a vehicle losing coolant this fast can run low without warning and overheat while driving, which can cause engine damage or loss of power, and the white steam from the exhaust may reduce visibility for drivers behind. I also worry that coolant entering the exhaust damages the catalytic converter. The car has been serviced regularly, and the leak was not caused by an accident or impact. Toyota covered this repair under its emissions warranty for 8 years/80,000 miles, but my car is past that and Toyota has declined goodwill coverage (Toyota case #[redacted]). I'm reporting this so NHTSA can see that the failure is happening in vehicles outside that warranty period and can evaluate whether it is a safety defect.

About a couple of weeks before October 23, 2026, the front passenger door mechanism on my 2026 Kia EV9 suffered a complete failure due to a manufacturer-identified water intrusion issue, causing the exterior retractable door handle to stop deploying. As a result, the door cannot be opened from the outside. No warning lights or dashboard messages appeared prior to the failure. I brought the vehicle to Koons Woodbridge Kia on 10/23/2026, where service technicians inspected the car and confirmed that the door motor...

failed due to water entry. The dealership verified the defect but informed me that the necessary replacement part is on a national backorder with no clear ETA. I also opened a formal case with Kia America Consumer Affairs (Case #26521387). The vehicle and the defective door component remain at the dealership and are available for inspection upon request. This failure presents a severe safety hazard. Because the front passenger door cannot be opened from the exterior, first responders or bystanders would be completely unable to open the door from the outside to extract a trapped passenger in the event of a crash, rollover, fire, or medical emergency. Despite this clear danger, service staff verbally claimed the issue is "not a safety concern" and pressured me to pick up the un-repaired, unsafe vehicle. When I requested a loaner, they initially offered a small car for only a couple of days - which is completely inadequate and non-equivalent for my transportation and cargo needs while my vehicle remains indefinitely out of service due to a national backorder. Furthermore, despite repeated written and verbal requests, the dealership and Kia Corporate have refused to provide me with a printed copy of my active Repair Order or put their claims regarding vehicle safety and backorder status in writing.
My 2026 Audi A3's windshield wipers shake, skip, and rub across the windshield, reducing visibility in rain. Even in very light rain, multiple sensor warnings activate. These issues began shortly after leasing the vehicle and continue despite repeated service visits. I am concerned about visibility and safety while driving in rain.
The transfer case blew, whenever I accelerated fast when starting from slow speeds i would experience slippage with the wheels of my car as it was now a front wheel car instead of all wheel drive. I took it to Acura on September 14 and they did reproduce the problem, they changed the transmission and transfer case, and no there were no warning lights or check engine lights and the cars 4 wheel drive system on the dash told me all of my tires were working when they were not.
Vehicle alarming charging system malfunction. Vehicle lagging and lurching forward. Unable to drive safely. Battery lights on. Second time this has happened. Currently at dealership for repair.
"My 2021 Honda Civic experiences intermittent steering resistance. At approximately 0- plus speed, the steering feels sticky at or near TDC of the steering wheel, requiring a little nudge. to correct it. It occurs frequent during warm and/or humid conditions. The vehicle has approximately 81,000 miles. I just bought it so I don't know how long this has been happening in the past years. I will be training my son to drive in this car. So, I worry of it getting stuck. The dealer has not inspected the vehicle yet because they charge for the check.?
Airbag light came on and is staying on and won't go away
This truck has the 6.2L power train and the engine failed and needed to be replaced at approximately 70,000 miles. After replacement around 80,000 miles I then needed to have the water pump replaced because it failed as well.
Whenever it rains my car is flooded and now my vehicle's electric is damaged and this is concerning to me due to fire hazard issues that can occur

Summary of defect: The vehicle intermittently shifts into PARK while in motion or stopped in traffic, accompanied by a recurring "Service Stop/Start System" warning. This results in a sudden loss of drive power and creates a serious risk of a rear-end collision or crash. History: Shortly after purchase in March 2025, the vehicle began showing random dashboard warnings and infotainment/connectivity failures, which occurred daily. Approximately eight months after purchase, the "Service Stop/Start System" warning...

began recurring. In several instances this was accompanied by the transmission shifting into PARK while the vehicle was stopped at a red light. Within a few weeks, my wife was driving with our young children in the vehicle when it shifted into PARK in traffic, and she was nearly struck by another vehicle. The problem occurred several more times. Ain September 2026, I took the vehicle to Thomas Jeep [city, state] for repair. The dealership stated the issue was a software problem and returned the vehicle after 2-3 days. I paid for a rental vehicle out of pocket during that time. The Stop/Start warning returned immediately after I picked up the vehicle. A few weeks later, the vehicle again shifted into PARK, this time while driving, which was more severe than prior incidents. Current status: The defect has not been resolved. I transport my young children in this vehicle, including to daycare, and I consider it unsafe to drive. Request: I request that NHTSA open an investigation into this defect, review similar complaints for this make and model, and determine whether a recall is warranted.
My car shakes and rocks like a boat over every bump and when i make turns the car dips really bad and bounces around. It's been doing this since i got the car and purchase a warranty i could not use from sports Mazda. Its unsafe at high speeds and jerks when switching lanes. I continuously do the alignment every 2-4 weeks. And the toe gets adjusted and it goes right back to the issue. Acura told me this is how their cars drive and it feels unsafe to drive
The most common major mechanical concern on the 2019 Land Rover Range Rover Velar 3.0L Supercharged V6 is the cooling system, particularly coolant leaks around the supercharger and its coolant pipes. This is especially important because you previously mentioned that your Velar leaks antifreeze near the supercharger when the engine gets hot.
