Example complaints

Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.

“Since past few months I am experiencing frequent stalling in my car. When car is at the traffic light and sometimes during turning at the corner, it just stops responding to peddle and I have to restart the engine and select gear again to move it. During the recent snowstorms, it once staled and started sliding backwards as engine stalled and transmission stopped working on traction. I had to quickly restart the engine and regain the control to get away with this situation. I think this situation is very dangerous on the road and could lead to fatal accident some day. …”

“I am submitting this complaint to report a significant windshield defect in my 2020 Range Rover Evoque. The issue involves water ingress due to improper windshield bonding, which leads to leaks into the passenger compartment and excessive wind noise. This is a known issue with Land Rover vehicles, as evidenced by Service Action N221, which acknowledges similar problems in prior model years, including other Range Rover Evoque and Land Rover Discovery vehicles. …”

“A fire started under the hood roughly 15 minutes after we drove it and parked it. Smoke could be seen 1st, then the fire. Not sure what starter the fire.

“On March 5, 2026, while I and my 2 passengers were traveling on the 405 Freeway at approximately 40–50 mph, the vehicle suffered a catastrophic total loss of power. The engine shut off and all electronic systems failed simultaneously, including the instrument cluster and all interior lighting. Most critically, the hazard lights were inoperable, leaving the vehicle invisible to high-speed traffic during the failure. Since I was traveling at highway speeds I was able to safely glide the vehicle to the center shoulder. …”

“My car completely shut down at a traffic light as I took my foot off of the brake to begin my turn on green. This resulted in my car having to be towed by the police because where my car shut down in the middle of the street was a traffic hazard. The police even tried to jump the battery but nothing worked. There were multiple incidences of the like before hand, but the car usually restarted after shutting down. This time, it would not restart and resulted in a $400+ towing bill. Messages on dash were, Transmission not in Park and Battery low.”
