Example complaints
Engine: “I parked at my home, approximately 5 minutes after arriving home my grandson ran in yelling papa your car is on fire. The engine was on fire, shooting flames onto the windsheild. The cause of fire is unknown at this time.”
NHTSA complaint #11655369, filed 2025-04Transmission and drivetrain: “The vehicle only has ~39,000 miles on it and the transmission went out and the car is not drivable. The dealership said it is a faulty valve body and that the part is on national back order and could take 2 to 6 months or even longer to get the part before they can start work.”
NHTSA complaint #11683979, filed 2025-08Engine cooling: “The contact owns a 2024 Chevrolet Suburban. While driving at an undisclosed speed, the vehicle hesitated while accelerating. The vehicle was previously repaired under NHTSA Campaign Number: 25V274000 (ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING); however, the failure persisted. The local dealer was contacted; however, the vehicle was not repaired. The manufacture was not notified of the failure. The failure mileage was 27,300.”
NHTSA complaint #11714279, filed 2026-01, 27,300 milesBrakes: “I have had my cruise control set and my car will slam on the brakes with no vehicles in front of my car or on each side. This has happened multiple times, it doesn’t matter if I am going 40MPH or 60+MPH. I have taken it in and they say there is nothing they can do for the issue. I’m worried for the safety of myself, my family, and my unborn child. As well as any cars around (behind me potentially) when this happens. I do not want to unintentionally cause an accident.”
