The sunroof seal allows water to leak into the car, particularly around the B pillar airbag and side window airbag areas. The water intrusion could damage the airbags, causing them to deploy unexpectedly or fail to deploy in a collision. BMW reportedly has an internal document acknowledging the defective seal but refuses to cover repair costs for vehicles beyond 50,000 miles warranty. A $200 diagnostic fee is required by the dealership, with additional repair costs not covered even if the defective part is confirmed as the cause.

While driving under normal conditions with no external impact or identifiable cause, the panoramic moonroof shattered explosively with a loud bang resembling a gunshot. Glass fragments dispersed across the roof area and portions of the panel collapsed inward into the interior mesh roof cover. No vehicle warning was triggered prior to the failure. The dealer was unable to reproduce the issue and denied it as a warranty claim.

Drivetrain malfunction triggered a critical failure error message affecting the brake system and chassis. This was the first of two such incidents within 4 months of ownership. The vehicle is a PHEV and the electrical system issues prevented it from functioning safely.

Recurring drivetrain malfunction occurring twice within 45 days on a PHEV. First occurrence cost $600 to fix at the dealer. Second occurrence was being brought in for repair. Vehicle was deemed unsafe to drive due to power cutoff during the malfunction.

Owner noticed an unusual noise and brought the vehicle to the dealer. The dealer confirmed a faulty front pinion/bearing and the need to replace the front differential. The dealer indicated familiarity with this issue, and online forums also report it as a recurring problem. Owner considers it a safety risk if left unrepaired.

Six months after purchase, the vehicle exhibited abnormal vibration while driving and accelerating, along with hesitation. An undisclosed recall was identified but had no remedy. The vehicle later shut off independently at a red light and required multiple restart attempts. A pump was replaced at the dealer, but the issue recurred. Eventually the engine failed completely, the vehicle could not be restarted, the check engine light illuminated, and the vehicle began smoking while stopped in the roadway. A following vehicle rear-ended the disabled car; airbags did not deploy. The vehicle was not repaired.

While driving, the vehicle suddenly lost the ability to accelerate, idled very roughly, and the check engine light illuminated. The car would not exceed 35 mph and felt as though it might stall when turning corners. After dropping the vehicle off at a Nissan dealership, the owner was informed a week later that the engine had failed.

The 2023 Nissan Rogue is subject to NHTSA recall 26V-080 (Nissan Recall Code R25E2) due to a critical engine bearing seizure and fire risk. The owner brought the vehicle to an authorized dealership for the recall remedy, but alleges the repair was fraudulently executed: the vehicle was processed in only 43 minutes with a recorded 1-mile odometer difference, which the owner contends is physically insufficient to heat engine oil to the temperatures required by Nissan's engineering service bulletin for diagnosing defective engine bearings. The dealership allegedly falsely certified the recall as remedied in federal databases, billed the manufacturer's warranty department for work not performed, and falsified a multi-point inspection and detail service. The owner considers the fire-risk defect unresolved and is demanding a buyback.

While driving on the highway under normal conditions, all dashboard warning and safety lights illuminated simultaneously, followed by a complete shutdown of the digital instrument cluster. The vehicle lost critical display functions and the check engine light remained on. Dealership diagnosis returned DTC P0196 (Engine Oil Temperature Sensor) and recommended replacement of the Automatic Transmission Oil Cooler Control Valve.

In August 2025 the engine shut off while driving on the highway; the dealership replaced the turbo hose. A subsequent check engine light appeared in July 2026, and after three days the dealership diagnosed a failed turbocharger requiring replacement. The owner believes engine bearing issues and low oil pressure related to an incomplete recall caused the turbocharger to fail. The dealership refused to cover the $4,100 repair under the extended 10-year/120k-mile warranty, claiming the vehicle was 9,000 miles over the basic warranty and that the turbocharger is not part of the long block.

The SOS safety button became non-functional after a Starlink software update failed to load. The dealer found the software to be up to date and indicated it was not a Subaru problem. No fix was provided despite ongoing communication with Subaru America. The vehicle had approximately 9000 miles at the time of the complaint.

While the owner was walking around the vehicle to assist her husband into the passenger seat, the hatchback opened on its own and struck both occupants, causing them to fall to the ground. Both sustained injuries requiring emergency medical attention and transport by ambulance.

Unsolicited SiriusXM pop-up ads appear on the infotainment screen, blocking user interaction with controls including air conditioning and traction control. The ads appear both at startup and while driving, and cannot be dismissed without acknowledgment. Subaru initially directed the owner to contact SiriusXM, then promised an over-the-air software update that was never delivered. The issue appears to affect hundreds of other consumers.

While turning into a parking spot with the accelerator pedal slightly depressed, the vehicle unexpectedly accelerated and crashed into a parked vehicle on the driver's side, then continued moving forward into the next parking spot. No warning lights illuminated. The dealer and manufacturer were notified but the vehicle was not repaired.

While traveling at highway speed on I-295 South, the vehicle's autonomous emergency braking system engaged with maximum force without any obstacle present, causing the vehicle to fishtail across lanes and nearly roll over. Prior symptoms of electrical instability included a dashboard GPS clock jumping four hours ahead in certain locations and a power rear liftgate randomly opening halfway or reversing direction unprompted. The braking issue had previously been reported to a dealership in November 2023 at 14,435 miles, but the dealer was unable to duplicate or resolve it. The vehicle was being held at an authorized dealership for inspection.

The 2023 Jeep Wrangler Sahara 4xe was recalled multiple times for a high-voltage battery fire risk due to a faulty battery design. Each recall applied a software patch rather than a physical fix. Following the latest recall (68C), the traction battery power output was capped so severely that highway driving became unsafe: acceleration bogs down under battery-only power, and when the engine engages there is a significant pause before power resumes. The owner reports the vehicle no longer performs as it did when purchased and is requesting either a physical remedy restoring original specs or a full buyback.

While driving, the 2023 Jeep Wrangler 4xe suddenly loses drive power without warning. The vehicle repeatedly displays 'Electric Temporarily Unavailable.' When pressing the accelerator, there is a delay of several seconds with little or no power before the gas engine engages. The issue began after the 68C recall software update and is described as a serious safety hazard during merging or pulling into traffic. Multiple dealer visits resulted in 'no codes found' and 'operating as designed' responses, leaving the issue unresolved.

The vehicle has an unresolved electrical issue posing a fire risk. The dealer has no timeline for a fix and advised the owner to park away from buildings as a temporary precaution. The owner believes the vehicle should be held at the dealer with a loaner provided.

The oil drain plug fell out of the vehicle, causing all oil to spatter underneath and behind the Jeep within minutes. The oil warning lamp activated, and shortly after, the engine seized. The vehicle entered a protection mode limiting speed. A service technician confirmed there was oil everywhere and no oil plug present. The owner suspects the dealership, which last performed an oil change, failed to properly secure the drain plug. A slow oil leak had been noticed in the driveway prior to the incident.

Owner received notification of a NHTSA steering recall (Campaign 26V363000) but the part needed to complete the repair was not yet available. The manufacturer was considered to have exceeded a reasonable timeframe for completing the recall repair. No actual failure had been experienced by the contact.

Shortly after purchase, a clicking noise developed behind the steering wheel during parking maneuvers. Over several months the clicking became louder and more frequent. The steering stopped returning to center and became noticeably hard to turn. A dealership inspection found a leak causing the steering rack to bind. The issue was repaired under factory warranty.

The steering became harder to turn and would not return to center after cornering. The steering wheel remained in the turned position while driving, which the owner considered a safety hazard at highway speeds. A Chevrolet dealership diagnosed the rack and pinion steering as faulty and requiring replacement, including realignment.

The infotainment system on the 2023 Chevrolet Bolt EV completely stopped functioning without any prior warning. The screen, radio, Bluetooth, backup camera, and associated safety features all lost functionality entirely. A dealership confirmed the system required full replacement and noted this is a common issue across Chevrolet vehicles, including newer models.

Steering rack failure where the steering does not return to center most of the time, with occasional return. Loud clunking noise in the steering system began around the 36,000-mile warranty expiration mark.

While making a turn, one of the two bolts holding the front driver-side lower control arm sheared completely. Inspection indicated a fatigue failure likely caused by inadequate factory assembly clamping force. Without proper torque, the joint interface slipped under normal loads, redirecting cyclic shear and bending forces onto the bolt threads and shank, which led to fatigue fracture. The vehicle remained drivable but unstable after the failure. Months prior, the tire had been rubbing against the wheel well, which in hindsight was an early symptom of the improperly secured control arm. An independent mechanic confirmed the failure and replaced the control arm sub-assembly.

The vehicle experienced a persistent electrical system defect causing the 12-volt battery to repeatedly discharge. The dealership replaced the 12-volt battery and performed a software update, but the issue remained unresolved. On two separate occasions the owner arrived to retrieve the vehicle only to find the battery completely discharged and the car non-operational. The vehicle remained at the dealership for over 30 consecutive days with multiple failed repair attempts.

The ICCU failed despite all prior recall updates having been performed. The failure began when the home circuit breaker tripped and the vehicle refused Level 1 charging, displaying a 'Check Electrical System' warning. When connected to a Level 2 AC charger at a public station, a loud pop occurred and the charging station immediately suffered a mechanical failure and shutdown. The vehicle then displayed 'Stop vehicle and check power supply' and was limited to 40mph with a turtle icon on the dash, creating a safety hazard in traffic. Within two hours the 12V battery was fully depleted, leaving the vehicle unresponsive and requiring a jump-start for towing. The dealer confirmed ICCU failure requiring replacement.

The ICCU unit failed, triggering a 'Check Electrical System' warning on the instrument cluster. The low-voltage battery dropped to 12.0V and vehicle speed was limited to 60 mph, then gradually reduced to 30 mph over 40 minutes as voltage fell to 11.5V even with minimal 12V loads. The vehicle had to be towed to a service center, where Kia confirmed the ICCU was defective and replaced it under warranty.

The ICCU (Integrated Charging Control Unit) failed, causing the vehicle to not start and shut down while driving. The owner noted the car shut off as they were beginning to park. The owner expressed frustration that no recall has been issued for this known issue.

The vehicle experienced complete power loss on multiple occasions. The ICCU (Integrated Charging Control Unit) failed, causing the car to lose power while in traffic and become immobile. The 12V battery subsequently failed to hold a charge on multiple dates. Kia issued a letter acknowledging the ICCU issue and offered free diagnosis and possible no-cost servicing. The vehicle was towed to a dealership and reportedly repaired, but power failures continued. The owner considers the vehicle unsafe due to sudden power loss while driving.

While slowing to near-stop at a roundabout, the vehicle began accelerating uncontrollably despite the brake pedal being fully applied. The car struck another vehicle, then rapidly increased speed, crossed lanes, hit a curb and a large brick planter, and became wedged between two parked vehicles. Brake lights were confirmed on by witnesses throughout the incident. No audible or visual warnings were triggered during the unintended acceleration event. After the crash, the front airbags failed to deploy; only the driver-side curtain airbag deployed. The vehicle was totaled, one occupant sustained a fractured tibia requiring surgery, and multiple other vehicles were damaged.

Shortly after purchasing the vehicle used at around 8,000 miles, the Integrated Charging Control Unit (ICCU) failed without prior warning. Upon re-entering the vehicle after a grocery stop, warning messages appeared indicating electrical system and power supply issues. The vehicle was no longer driveable and had to be towed to a dealer, where a Hyundai-certified technician confirmed the ICCU failure and the need for replacement.

The ICCU (Integrated Charging Control Unit) failed, causing a complete loss of power. The repair took approximately two weeks. The owner notes this appears to be a recurring issue, with Hyundai repeatedly replacing the part rather than addressing the root cause, raising safety concerns especially for long-distance driving in areas without cell service.

The Highway Driving Assist system, which steers and centers the vehicle in the lane, disengages without adequate warning. The only indicator is a small green steering wheel icon on the dash cluster turning grey and blinking, with no audible chime. The owner reported multiple instances of unnoticed disengagement while driving on the highway, including one incident where the system disengaged during a turn, causing the vehicle to hit the rumble strip and requiring a corrective swerve. The owner was attentive with hands on the wheel but was relying on the system to handle the turn. Multiple other owners have reportedly confirmed the same issue.

While driving at higher speeds, the vehicle occasionally lost motive power and displayed a 'Smart Smooth Cruise Control Conditions Not Met' warning on the instrument panel. Restarting the vehicle temporarily resolved the issue, but the failure recurred. A dealer diagnosed an unknown electrical failure and attempted a repair, but the problem returned. On a second dealer visit, the cause could not be determined and the vehicle was not repaired.

While driving on the freeway, a helium balloon entered the lane and triggered the vehicle's forward collision avoidance system to apply maximum braking autonomously, causing tire screeching. No dashboard warning, alert sound, or driver notification was given. The accelerator was unresponsive for several seconds afterward, creating a rear-end collision risk.

The steering wheel intermittently becomes hard to turn, similar to the resistance applied when lane assist is active during a lane change. This occurs even when the lane assist feature is turned off, suggesting unintended interaction between the steering system and the lane departure system.

While slowing down to enter a parking space and applying the brakes, the car suddenly surged forward, causing it to jump a curb. The incident could have resulted in an accident had another vehicle been present.

While driving, the vehicle randomly enters limp mode with multiple dashboard warning lights cycling through various system faults including brakes, AWD, cameras, and lane assist. The dealership charged $450 for a software update, but the problem recurred within 10 hours causing a breakdown at an intersection. A new battery was then installed for $270, but the vehicle broke down again a few days later with the same errors. The dealership indicated no technical service bulletin exists for these issues and escalated to a Honda technician.

While driving at highway speeds above 45 mph, the steering wheel exhibits a severe sticky, notchy, or binding sensation that catches during minor directional adjustments, requiring excessive force to break free and creating an over-correction hazard. A dealership diagnosed a complete failure of the electronic power steering rack assembly, consistent with symptoms described in NHTSA Safety Recall 24V-744 involving a swollen worm gear and overtightened spring preload, though the vehicle's VIN was excluded from the recall population.

The front camera overheats in ambient temperatures exceeding 70°F, causing the automatic emergency braking (AEB), cruise control, lane keep assist, automatic headlights, and automatic wipers to become disabled.

While traveling at approximately 70–80 mph in light drizzle with no prior warning lights, the vehicle suddenly entered an uncontrolled spin multiple times. A grinding noise was heard during the spin. After the vehicle stopped, brake and parking brake system warning lights appeared on the dashboard. The incident was recorded on video.

While traveling at approximately 70–80 mph in light drizzle with no prior warning lights, the vehicle suddenly entered an uncontrolled spin multiple times. A grinding noise was heard during the spin. After the vehicle stopped, brake and parking brake system warnings appeared on the dashboard. One injury was reported.

While driving at 46 MPH in heavy rain, a warning appeared indicating the pre-collision sensor was blocked. Shortly after, the vehicle lost motive power and displayed a 'Steering power is low' message, then stalled and would not restart. The following day it restarted briefly before stalling again with a 'Pre-collision malfunction' message. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired by the dealer.

The backup camera stopped functioning, displaying a black screen when the vehicle was put into reverse. Approximately two weeks later, multiple dashboard warning lights appeared indicating malfunctions in the headlight system, pre-collision system, rear cross traffic alert, blind spot monitor, and lane tracing assist (LTA). No recalls exist for this specific vehicle, though similar issues have been reported on other vehicles of the same make and model with active recalls.

Dashboard warning lights illuminated and the car would not start, despite the battery being in good condition. The vehicle has not been inspected by anyone.

The UB80E transmission produces a whining/whistling sound when accelerating; the vehicle shudders and then surges forward suddenly, with improper gear shifting. A Toyota dealer inspection confirmed the noise originates from the transmission due to the final drive failing, with no diagnostic trouble codes present.

The backup camera, which is integrated with the entire infotainment system, intermittently shuts off and reboots while the vehicle is in use, including during reversing maneuvers, causing safety concerns and driver distraction.

The vehicle automatically locked itself after the driver's door closed, despite the smart key being inside the vehicle. The owner had stepped outside briefly and was unable to re-enter. A child was trapped inside in a rear safety seat. The owner was forced to break the driver's side window to rescue the child. No warning lights or messages were present prior to the incident. The Smart Key System either failed to detect the key's presence inside the vehicle or improperly permitted the doors to lock with the key inside.

The vehicle caught fire while parked, turned off, and unattended for approximately one hour. No warning lights, smoke, odors, or other symptoms were observed before parking. The fire was extinguished by the fire department before the owner returned. The cause is unknown and under investigation by a fire marshal, who indicated it appears to be a manufacturing defect. The vehicle has not been inspected by the manufacturer.

While operating under Full Self-Driving (FSD), the vehicle phantom-braked abruptly and then accelerated through red lights into cross-traffic intersections on multiple occasions, requiring forceful driver override to prevent a crash. Tesla Service performed a camera recalibration and charged a fee, after which the red-light running stopped, but aggressive phantom braking continued on every trip, posing an ongoing rear-end collision risk.

A fatal crash involving a 2023 Tesla Model 3 occurred when the vehicle departed the roadway, struck a guardrail, hit a utility pole on the driver's side, and rolled down an embankment before coming to rest upright. The crash resulted in catastrophic intrusion into the driver's compartment and a fatal injury to the driver. The complainant requests NHTSA investigate the crashworthiness, airbag deployment, structural integrity, and performance of advanced driver assistance systems including collision warnings and automatic emergency braking, as well as review of EDR and vehicle telemetry data.

The 2023 Tesla Model 3 exhibits two recurring safety issues with its driver-assistance system. First, 'phantom braking' occurs while Autopilot or FSD is engaged, causing sudden unexpected deceleration with no obstacle present, creating a rear-end collision risk. Second, the Full Self Driving (Supervised) system failed to navigate an intersection properly, stopping mid-turn while an oncoming vehicle approached. The driver had to take manual control to avoid a hazard. A Tesla service technician witnessed the intersection failure, and the service summary confirmed FSD 'did not proceed through the intersection properly.' The vehicle was brought to a Tesla service center twice without the issue being resolved.

The powered trunk failed to detect an obstruction (a person's head) when closing. Instead of stopping or reversing direction upon contact, the trunk continued applying downward force. The obstruction detection system, which is designed to prevent injury by halting or reversing the trunk when an object or person is detected, did not function as intended, resulting in injury.

While using Full Self-Driving (FSD) on the highway at over 50mph, the vehicle suddenly braked hard with no obstacle directly ahead. A car to the right was swerving into the lane, and while the system appeared to react to that, the owner reports it should have steered left rather than braking abruptly in the fast lane with a vehicle close behind.

The TV developed vertical banding followed by dead pixels at 18 months of use. The OLED panel was fully replaced under the extended warranty at no cost.

Screen went completely black while audio continued to work. Repair shop diagnosed failed LED backlight strips. Remote and speakers remained functional.
