- 2020 GMC Acadia: am/fm radio stations will not tune in (1 complaints) I took it to the local GMC dealer. They said it wasn’t a head or wiring issue but they found a bulletin suggesting to replace the 2020 antenna with the 2019 model antenna which is supposed to get better reception. Given the other infotainment system issues I’ve had with this vehicle and their not being any reasonable explanation, I declined to move forward with the $400+ charges. This infotainment system GMC has is total junk! The radio won’t even tune into any local radio stations while I’m driving. It ... read more »
- 2018 Hyundai Elantra: rod bearings (2 complaints) Unfortunately I bought a Hyundai Elantra sport brand new in 2018 I've kept the maintenance even to this day the car currently at 147,300 miles. However I started having issues at 30,000 miles check engine would go on the car with shake and stall and miss fires would occur frequently. Every time I took it to the dealer they reset the computer but never made an actual note of what was going on with the car. That dealership that I took it at the time was Universal Hyundai in Orlando, Florida. So now that I have ... read more »
- 2021 Mazda CX-5: car battery dead happened couple times (1 complaints) The battery dying happened 2x's. 1st time dealership said it was a known problem that passenger door not closing tight. 2nd time they said it was because I left the phone charging cord inserted and it drained the battery. I mentioned the 1st diagnosis I received and they said they never heard that but that came directly from someone at the dealership in service. I just don't trust them to tell the ... read more »
- 2022 Genesis GV70: transfer case in my gv70 blew, undriveable until replacement (1 complaints) I was hearing a funny noise coming from my vehicle during a SK winter. It gets quite cold and we often get a lot of snow. The Genesis service department told me it was snow built up underneath so I ensured I left it in a heated garage to get it all off. Went to drive it to an appointment and my transfer case blew. Needless to say the noise wasn't from snow buildup in my under carriage like they told me. Thankfully it was under warranty but we had to call CAA to tow it and I was without my vehicle for roughly 2.5 ... read more »

- 2022 Genesis GV70: unsealed light causing condensation (1 complaints) Multiple lights have been getting condensation due to poor seals. So far I've had three replaced including both headlights and my passenger mirror light. I honestly wasn't too bothered but to make it worse, when I sent it in once to have my driver side headlight replaced due to this issue they sent it back and it clearly hadn't been replaced and still had visible condensation within it. The workup sheet they always give at the end of a service said it had been replaced so I'm not sure if they just didn't do it at ... read more »
- 2022 Jeep Grand Cherokee L: vehicle loses all power (3 complaints) Vehicle loses all power- dead will not even open doors Have been told by one of the service representative now that they are having trouble with these jeeps. And the worst thing now is over the last 5 months, have not even drove this vehicle very much. Make payments on a new vehicle and can not even drive it. The worst thing is I don't think they know what is route cause and if vehicle goes of the standard warranty, will this be covered. Frustrating and an inconvenience. Not even funny now as people were making ... read more »

- 2014 Mazda CX-5: daylight running lights stopped working (1 complaints) It is a serious safety issue to have the DRL inoperable. It is inexcusable that Mazda designed an extremely expensive headlight that does not allow the replacement of the DRL bulb. They compounded the design issue by using a gasket that leaks causing the corrosion that causes the lights to fail. There is a pending lawsuit filed in California on 2016 Mazda's CX-5 with this problem. 2014 cars like mine have the same ... read more »

I took it to the Ford dealer and explained what happened. They couldn't find anything wrong and charged me 155.00. On 20 March 2023, I was driving about 40 mph and it happened again. Pulled to curb saw the wrench lite, shut it off and restarted ... read more »

- 2012 Hyundai Tucson: coil spring broken (1 complaints) I had to have my car towed for a key fob issue and when the dealer got it and did their check point thing that they always do, they found the R coil spring was broken. Said it's not safe to drive like that so had to leave it for FIVE days. Between the towing and this crap they found my bill is going to be over $700 which is ridiculous! I'm sick over this! I'm on a fixed income and yes my car is a 2012 but I also see that other models had this coil spring ... read more »

- 2013 BMW 328: timing chain noise- keep in mind for future repair (1 complaints) Oct 27, 2023 I took my car to the BMW dealership for PA inspection. (2013 328i luxury Xdrive) The car has not been taken anywhere else since purchase. I was told I should think about have the timing chain fixed because it was starting to make a noise and an estimate of 5900$ was given. I questioned this and was told it was a known problem for this engine, but I didn't need to have it done right away, since it just started. So, I called a local garage that works on BMW's to get a second estimate. He told me about ... read more »
- 2023 Hyundai Sonata: dct prompted cel code p065312 (1 complaints) Driving 2023 Sonata N line 2.5T/DCT 40-45mph over somewhat bumpy road the CEL illuminated. The screen sez too high sensor voltage & radar malfunction. Roughly 1/2 mile later power dropped to almost nothing. Pulled over stopped engine restarted and the power/DCT resumed to normal function. This appears to be the same as the DCT recall of 2021/2022. [HMA Recall 236: 8 Speed DCT- Loss of Motive Power - Remedy Not Available November 4, 2022.] CEL pops up & 20-30 sec later power shuts down. There was enough power to ... read more »
- 2016 Honda Civic: cvt transmission failure (2 complaints) I bought the 2016 civic brand new and kept up on all the maintenance through both the Honda dealership and a local Honda specialist technician. I took the car to the dealership for an oil change on 11/16/23 and they apparently found a small leak somewhere (I don't pretend to understand) and didn't follow up or tell me about it when I picked the car up. I found out about this "discovery" after the transmission died. It died while my son was driving it just a few months later on 2/26/24. Thankfully he was close to ... read more »
