Example complaints
Engine: “I need assistance in getting my vehicle recalled. Back in march the engine light came on and the dealer said they reset the code and made a repair to the engine. Last month the engine light came on again and I had to have the car towed to the dealer because I could not go in reverse. The dealer is now telling me I need a new transmission which cost $11,000.00. The car is only 4 years old. Attached is the report the dealer wrote up also it looks like there was a recall on the car but my VIN is not included in the recall. My vehicle is still like a new car other than this light on. …”

NHTSA complaint #11461902, filed 2022-04Other or unknown: “As I left the store, I get to my 2015 Land Rover Discovery Sport and use the keyless entry as I usually do. I get in and close the door. I press the push start button and all of a sudden, three different warning alarms are going off. I look at my dash board and see that there's a warning the the car isn't in park, then that the parking brake is not on, then I turn off the car and turn it back on. After that it seemed fine. I reverse and back out of my spot. As I'm turning, my drivers side door swings open, causing me to reach out and shut it and it would not shut. …”
