- 2009 Chevrolet Malibu: won't start (2 complaints) This problem is still going on I am going to go bankrupt trying to pay for this piece of shit, this started in august when the car broke down in a McDonald's and ever since it's pointed to multiple issues, I've replaced the battery about 2 times, didn't work, replaced the alternator, didn't work, and here's the thing. I can't even turn the car off without it dying and it not starting up after, but the car eventually starts after multiple hours. Now a new development the car starts with a jump and then just ... read more »
- 2018 Subaru Outback: radio freezes sporadic (3 complaints) Infotainment system is very glitchy:. 1) It freezes up, 2) Randomly scans/parces through infotainment menus 3) Infotainment system and cellphone technology seems to be incompatible to the point where the infotainment system is unable to properly handoff commands to the cellphone and vice versa. Disabling Bluetooth technology on the iPhone seems to make the infotainment system less glitchy - but does not solve the problem with the infotainment system of randomly parsing through the console menus and/or console ... read more »
- 2016 Ford Escape: transmission failure (7 complaints) Shifting bushing broke leaving vehicle stuck in reverse, towed to transmission shop and replaced (found out it was a recall but not worth another tow fee). The next day "Transmission Fault" displayed on the dash after revving up then gearing down, seemed to shift into neutral while driving. Transmission shop said to send to dealership. Dealership charged $135+tax diagnostic fee to determine it needed a new transmission and the replacement cost would be $9100+. With known transmission issues for certain years Ford ... read more »
- 2015 Chevrolet Suburban: transmission failure (8 complaints) Complained to dealer that Suburban seemed jerky when shifting and hesitated when shifting. Was told it was to save fuel economy. Driving to see solar eclipse in totality the Suburban when on the highway, at 70 mph, the car stopped shifting. The transmission failed and the cost of a new one was extremely expensive! Never having owned a Chevrolet product, I had purchased an extended warranty for a ridiculous amount of money and out of $7000 bill, the warranty covered everything but $834. I am thankful to Denooyer ... read more »
- 2018 Ford Escape: coolant getting into the #3 cylinder (9 complaints) This is a typical 2018 Escape 1.5L engine that is leaking anti-freeze in the engine.

We have documentation of the problem when taking it in for a recall of something else. They say they sent me a letter in the mail regarding issues that I never received. They will not help other than put in a new engine, 1yr/12,000 mile warranty on the ... read more »
- 2012 Chevrolet Equinox: excessive oil consumption (107 complaints) I purchased this car from Register Chevrolet in Brooksville Fl on 02/14/2017.

P O Box 5091 Tacoma Wa 98415. In December of 2019 I did receive a letter concerning a possible defect in the wiper transmission at this address but I have never ... read more »
- 2022 Ford Maverick: surging or lurching (1 complaints) If you just touch the gas pedal the truck will lurch or surge forward. When you pass someone and let off the pedal the truck will sometimes gain speed and the decrease speed very slowly, this happen weather the auto hold is on or off. It’s especially troublesome when you are stopped in traffic. I’ve taken the truck to dealer service but they say nothing is wrong . I’ve driven my son-in-law’s Maverick and his does not do this. Anyone else experiencing this or does anyone have a ... read more »

- 2007 Hyundai Santa Fe: ignition / cut out / imobilizer (1 complaints) Sometimes the vehicle will not start. When you turn the key, nothing happens. Hyundai has not been able to diagnose it as it does not leave error codes. After speaking to several people and reading forums I have found the following to sometimes work: 1: turn the key upside down and try again, 2: try a different key, 3: get out of the vehicle, lock it with the FOB, wait 10 minutes, unlock with the FOB, try the key ... read more »
- 2016 Toyota Corolla: paint damage (4 complaints) 2016 Corolla black paint peeling around rear door jambs and trunk deck area. Its 2024 but this started happening in maybe 2019-2020 timeframe. Car was an old rental car so maybe it was in an accident? Either way unless they hit both sides of the rear doors and the trunk then the paint shouldn't be peeling at ... read more »
- 2020 Nissan Rogue: braking sensor came on by itself and would stop vehicle (3 complaints) I was driving down a busy road when all the sudden I hear a beep then my Rogue just brakes out of nowhere. Thankfully nobody was in front of me! I don't feel safe in this vehicle anymore! read more »
- 2014 Chevrolet Equinox: paint chipping/peeling (3 complaints) It would be nice if car manufacturers would figure out why "white" paint is an issue in many instances. Had a white sedan years ago that did the same thing. read more »

Barelhats to comy had it a week and the waterpump goes out after putting less than $200 miles on it. No Bueno. I hope this isn't foreshadowing what's to come.

- 2018 Ford Edge: blown engine (4 complaints) I bought a 2018 Ford Edge SE AWD (4 Cylinders 9 2.0L DI Turbo DOHC 122 CID) 2.5 years ago and the check engine light came on last week. I brought it into the Ford Dealership where I bought my vehicle and they said it is KNOWN FORD MANUFACTURING ISSUE where the coolant leaks into the combustion chamber and fries the motor, come to find out there was coolant in my turbo also so that is shot. The Alpha+ extended warranty I purchased through Ford is SHIT and they just denied my claim stating that I do not have gasket ... read more »

Door handles, roof on edges, under the door handles, black trim on door, and both trim covers under the headlights on both sides of the car.

I contacted Lexus support and they said well you are out of the warranty period so there is nothing we can ... read more »

- 2012 Chrysler 300: rear camera is basically a strobe light or flipped view (1 complaints) Embarrassingly I am not great at backing up. So, I have grown to depend on the camera, enjoying the convenience. I've always owned compact cars with no issues backing up. At first the view was flipped, what was on my left was on the right in my camera, I know it sounds crazy but I initially didn't realize it and almost hit my neighbor's car. Then it became a strobe light, just flashing continuously while in reverse so fast I couldn't even tell you if was still flipped or not. It is absolutely useless. When it ... read more »
- 2018 Mazda CX-9: catastrophic engine overheating (1 complaints) While driving on an interstate service drive, my 2018 Mazda CX9 GT suddenly lost power and began flashing overheating warnings. I tried to move my vehicle to a safe spot while the warning and sudden loss of power was happening, which took a moment due to traffic flow and my family being in the car. I moved the car off the road, and let it cool. I slowly drove the car to a parts store to get coolant. Once the cooling system was filled, I brought the car home and began researching the problem. According to ... read more »
