- 2015 Ford Explorer: water pump failure (2 complaints) Can someone tell me what idiot moved the water pump from in front of the engine block to the interior of the engine? This is a stupid design. Not only do you have to tear the engine down to get to it but you will have to more than likely replace the timing chain, all of the gaskets and so on. Fords suck and they have for years. They should have allowed the Big 3 to go under years ago. We would probably have better automobiles today. Be fore warned that once this water pump goes out (and I am told that it goes out ... read more »

- 2019 Subaru Legacy: delamination and failure of touch screen (2 complaints) The electronic system "has a mind of it's own". It's a known problem. Reportedly caused by "system delamination". Radio scans on it's own, dials a number never requested, puts people on hold during conversation. More recently (July 2024) the reverse alarm did not activate when backing up causing me to hit a telephone pole with $4000 in damage. It causes the driver to try to reset while driving and taking eyes off the road. It has the potential to be a serious potential accident causing issue. It has been reported ... read more »

And the meantime, I ... read more »
- 2006 Chevrolet Cobalt: engine stalls/shuts off while driving (24 complaints) Bought this car used in 2013-2014. Had the recalled starter thing replaced, it ran fine for a few years but then started having multiple issues. It kept acting like it wasn't going to start but then it would finally turn over, then it started acting like it was going to die every time I had to stop at a stop sign/light etc it starts put putting and sputtering so I have to slam on the gas when I go so it doesn't die. Now fast forward to 2024 it has actually started dying...a few months ago I pulled into the ... read more »
- 2013 Dodge Durango: drivers side head rest deployed for no reason hit me (1 complaints) Driver's side headrest deployed for no reason at all. I was backing up in a parking lot when it deployed, and hit me in the back of the head. I have a bump on the head and have had a major headache all day long.

- 2017 Ford Escape: coolant in #3 cyliner (3 complaints) In 2020 we received a bulletin in mail and my engine has done everything that letter stated it would. I have receipt showing we got it looked at in 2021. My engine misfired on the interstate and in getting spark plugs replaced cylinder 3 was not working. The mechanic could see coolant leaking out from engine. We took to a dealer to get diagnostics done and they claim it needs a whole new engine. It has been there since last week. They called yesterday stating the piston was also damaged by coolant leaking. I had ... read more »
