joint and replaced it. During this repair, Tesla discovered that the retaining nut was missing from the right-rear upper fore-link-to-subframe connection and that the corresponding subframe mounting hole was elongated. A missing suspension retaining nut and elongated mounting hole could compromise the structural integrity of the rear suspension, potentially causing instability or suspension separation while driving. The vehicle sustained a rear-end collision on May 29, 2026, but remained drivable without observable suspension symptoms immediately afterward. The cause of the subsequently discovered damage remains undetermined. Tesla denied coverage for the subframe. Tesla's service documentation shows that the rear upper fore-link tightening specification increased from 76 Nm to 84 Nm on October 25, 2023, before this vehicle was manufactured. I request investigation into whether inadequate fastener retention, loss of clamping force, or an assembly or design defect could contribute to this failure. The vehicle remains unrepaired at a Tesla-certified collision facility in Massachusetts, with the damaged subframe available for inspection. I request that NHTSA investigate this potential safety defect, examine similar complaints, and consider inspecting the vehicle before the damaged components are removed or discarded. Photographs, video, technician findings, and repair estimates are available upon request.

weeks without resolution. Service personnel initially stated it was undrivable due to a headlamp/fuse issue, then claimed it was drivable without performing the stated repair. On [redacted] Amwell Auto Clinic scanned 27 vehicle systems and documented numerous fault codes involving steering, ABS, electronic stability control, braking signals, and hybrid electronics, including a high-voltage system interlock code. The diagnostic report is attached. On [redacted], the vehicle was towed to Alfa Romeo of [[redacted]]. The dealership documented and repaired a failed 12V battery and an oil pan leak. As of [redacted], the vehicle has been out of service for 64 days. Although the dealership says it is ready, the original incident involving unexpected forward movement while in reverse remains unexplained. Despite repeated requests, service personnel responded with vague statements such as "I'll try" and "I'll ask my manager." No documented investigation into this specific malfunction, technical explanation, or confirmation that it has been resolved has been provided. I fear the vehicle could unexpectedly move in the opposite direction of the selected gear again, potentially causing serious injury or another collision. I request that NHTSA investigate this potential safety defect. Diagnostic reports and dealership service records are attached. The police report was amended on [redacted] to document my account of the reverse-gear incident. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)

repair all of these vehicles. I do have proof of these previous recalls and these are unresolved issues and a hazard. If Ford refuses to fix the transmission and rear drive axle I will obtain legal counsel as this is dangerous. I have also had this vehicle in for another repair that was included in these recalls. Charged $2500 told the dealership the car runs the same and they refused to return the calls.

they had seen this problem before, but no service advisories from Hyundai were available for this issue. I have asked Hyundai for an explanation and nothing has been forthcoming. My primary issue with this problem is that if I had not acquired a digital card, at an additional cost of approximately $200, we would have been stranded, with no manner in which to start or drive the vehicle. There were no indications of a problem, no alerts in car, and no alerts via the My Hyundai web site via the internal diagnostics. The BDC just failed, with no explanation. Without any type of explanation or diagnostic information, who knows if or when this could occur again, and where.

propulsion warnings, and leaves the vehicle unable to clear or defrost the windshield in freezing temperatures. A sudden loss of propulsion power in traffic or loss of windshield visibility during cold weather presents severe safety hazards. The manufacturer approved the traction battery pack under warranty but denied statutory coverage for the concurrently failed high-voltage coolant heater, leaving the vehicle disassembled and inoperable.

honda dealership and required repair. Due to the estimated cost of the repair through the dealership ($7995), car was repaired through an outside mechanic. There were no warning laps, messages, or symptoms prior to the failure that first appeared on or around 9/14/2026

known Kia manufacturing defect of massive, excessive oil consumption (requiring constant oil additions to maintain operation). The excessive oil burning directly fouled the exhaust and caused this sudden, life-threatening engine failure on a public roadway."

research, there is a recall out for 2019-2022 Nissan leafs with possible fire related issues because of the batteries and the P33ED code that i am getting is directly related to this recall. I believe I have a recalled battery in my vehicle but Nissan won't offer any assistance because my VIN isn't necessarily recalled. I feel unsafe to charge or operate this car, especially under any type of speed or load and Nissan is offering no assistance in repairing the vehicle or even verifying the battery manufacturer date.

limit restrictions and the inability for us to leave the state. (We are near neighboring states where family lives.) Last communication was parts would be shipped end of September. It's now the end of October and no update has been communicated. Considering this recall has been ongoing since February 2024 I'm having little hope this will be taken care of soon. In the meantime those of us with actual explosions and inoperable seatbelts are being given the same treatment & accommodations of those that are driving with working (ticking time bomb) seatbelts. When I first took it in the dealership claimed they had never heard of one actually exploding. I now know they have a second one sitting inoperable as well. Ford owners need help putting the pressure on Ford! Our calls, our inconvenience, our safety is NOT being handled.

failure reoccurred. The contact stated that the failure also occurred while accelerating from the vehicle idling. The contact stated that the failure was a known failure with the vehicle. The manufacturer was contacted, and a case was filed. The failure mileage was approximately 16,000.

lack of oil pressure retention. More critically, as the component degradation worsens, it causes significant engine lag, severe hesitation during acceleration, and intermittent stalling. This presents a severe safety hazard, as the vehicle has experienced sudden power loss and hesitation while attempting to merge into high-speed highway traffic and execute turns, creating an immediate risk of a collision. Despite this being a well-documented factory defect in the 2017-2019 model years, Ford corporate has declined out-of-warranty or goodwill assistance to resolve the issue. I am requesting that the NHTSA investigate this systemic powertrain defect, as the unpredictable loss of propulsion and stalling poses a direct threat to driver and passenger safety.

the vehicle after a few hours. I scheduled an appointment with Cadillac of Calabasas on Oct 11, but the earliest available appointment was Oct 21, 10 days later. Around Oct 13, my vehicle also displayed a "Service Driver Assist System" warning, which returned on Oct 22. When I brought my vehicle to Cadillac of Calabasas on Oct 20 (trying to drop off a day early), the advisor checked for open recalls and said there were none. He incorrectly stated my warranty expired in July 2025; Cadillac corporate later confirmed my CPO warranty expired July 11, 2026. I was told the dealership was backed up at least another week and everything would be paid out of pocket. No diagnosis or repair was completed as I could not leave my car for a week. Despite multiple contacts with Cadillac Customer Assistance (case 116067222), these problems remain unresolved. I have photographs and video documenting the instrument cluster blackout and driver-assistance warning and can provide them upon request. I am concerned about losing critical driving information and the reliability of my vehicle's driver-assistance systems. I am requesting NHTSA investigate these potential safety defects.

52d but said its not covered under the recall, and we will have to pay out of pocket. We have been back and forth for over 3 to 4 months because Chrysler, Stellantis, & Mopar keeps denying the replacement of the hybrid battery because they say it passed after the check for the recall, our vin does not match for the recall, our van is over the warranty miles. The last call they gave us a new case # which this is our 4th one and told us to go take it back to the dealership and have them run a diagnosis again to see what it says. We did that and the same code comes back. The dealership opened a STAR case and told us to call Chrysler recall division. We did, she gave us a new case number and told us that a case manager will call us. In the mean time the dealership is waiting and has our van because its a fire recall and hoping that all of the above companies that are responsible for this recall make this right. Please help with this serious matter. Thank you
