- 2018 Jeep Wrangler: clutch failure (1 complaints) VIN iC4BJWFG8JL811235 Hi everyone, I’m new to the group and hoping for some guidance and support. I tried to message Jeep Cares but the message button does not appear on their profile name. 2nd time replacing clutch in 47k miles I bought my 2018 Jeep wrangler JKU Rubicon December 2021 with 29k miles on it and by May 2022 my clutch blew out with only 32k miles on it! They said it was the worst they’ve seen (doubt it) and would not cover it. In fact, they wanted $4k to replace it with a mopar one. I told them ... read more »
- 2022 Ford F-150: kinked water hose for winshield wipers (1 complaints) I found that I had no water coming to the nozzles to wash the windshield with the wipers. No water and the wipers can permanently scratch the glass. The dealer mechanic found that the factory had installed the water supply hose in such a manner as to have a kink in the hose that greatly restricted the flow of cleaner fluid. This problem resulted in my cancelling a family vacation and having to reschedule ... read more »
- 2007 Chrysler Sebring: TIPM failure (totally integrated power module) (4 complaints) Stepdad purchased car for my husband. The headlights NEVER worked except on brights, dash lights also NEVER worked. They STILL bought the car. Well needless to say that was just the beginning. Months after purchasing it the car randomly would act like it wasn't going to start almost like the battery was dead but it wasn't. It would eventually start and wouldn't have anymore issues for a week or so until it did it again. Well another 2-3 months go by with it doing that and lights still not working and now it's ... read more »
- 2023 Hyundai Santa Fe: chip in the windshield (1 complaints) I'm very annoyed with my vehicle. I've only had it for 5 months now and I now have two chips in my windshield, first one happening over the winter. Of the small size of the stone, this second one caused more significant damage. I was on my way to work this morning and a stone came up and hit my windshield causing it to chip. At the right-angle during impact, the stone hit the windshield causing spider-like legs. I've driven the same route for the past 5 plus years and have never had any issues. I'm very ... read more »

- 2012 Ford F-150: ticking noise (9 complaints) I have had nothing but problems with the emission starting with the ticking then a check engine light.

Now after all this the ticking is back and check engine light is back on with a code of PO430 same code after it has been replaced.

- 2017 Subaru Impreza: paint peeling and rusting around trunk crevices (1 complaints) I went to the Subaru dealership to try to claim the defect under warranty because it had only been 2 years since I purchased the vehicle and the local dealership where I purchased the vehicle refused to fix the rust saying that they did their own investigation and determined that the rust was caused by "outside influences" and was not covered under warranty despite me not living near anything that could potentially cause rust like the ocean and I had never taken the vehicle to the beach at ... read more »

- 2018 Volkswagen Tiguan: burning oil (8 complaints) Bought the SUV in July 2023 from a dealer. Around 3000Km after I got it, oil light warning came on. Thought that the dealer didn't do the oil change like they told me. So we added oil. Then each time after around 3000 to 4000 km, the light came on and again. Each time, we had to add oil in the engine. I bought an extended warranty but I have to go in a specific mechanic and pay for the ... read more »
- 2018 Volkswagen Tiguan: engine light on (2 complaints) The check engine light came on. I was lucky, I had an appointment for an oil change that day. They scanned the car; secondary air pump malfunction (anti-pollution thing apparently). I can still use the car but since I take good care in my cars, I wanted to have it repaired! Plus I bought a warranty also! Went to the mechanic; he told me that everything works well for the ... read more »
- 2018 Volkswagen Tiguan: engine failure (2 complaints) I went t the mechanic for the check engine light on which was related to the secondary air pump (other complaint made.. but the pump works great). Then, the mechanic tells me that I have misfire in cylinder no.3. He can see it from a code related to the check engine light. He said I can feel that the car 'is not taking his gas' and it slows to accelerate. I experienced it a few time since I had the car. I'm waiting for my other appointment for the official diagnostic and if it is covered, the warranty will pay ... read more »

- 2024 Hyundai Santa Fe: foward attention warning deactivates cruise control (1 complaints) Forward Attention Warning deactivates cruise control when wearing sunglasses. Cannot deactivate this feature. This is NOT acceptable. I wear contact lenses for vision and driving with sunglasses is a must. there should be a fix or software update in the works for drivers to be able to deactivate this feature, or perhaps the dealer technicians should be able to deactivate it. I have been in touch with Hyundai USA and have a case number, and have also listed this complaint with the BBB. In my opinion, a sudden ... read more »

- 2017 Chevrolet Impala: switching gears, leaking (1 complaints) I WAS EXCITED ABOUT PURCHASING MY 2017 CHEVROLET IMPALA. THIS CAR HAS BEEN NOTHING BUT A PAIN IN MY ASS. IT WAS POORLY BUILT. MAYBE 1 YEAR AFTER PURCHASING THE VEHICLE, I HAD TO PURCHASE ANOTHER TRANSMISSION. WHEN I CONTACTED THE DEALER TO LET THEM KNOW WHAT WAS GOING ON THEY DIDN'T GIVE A DAMN!!!!!!!! ONE LADY THAT WORKED THERE SAID ALL THEIR VEHICLES HAVE A WARRANTY. SPOKE TO SOMEONE ELSE THEY SAID NO WARRANTY AND THAT I DIDN'T ASK FOR IT WHEN PURCHASING THE VEHICLE. THEY NEVER OFFERED. SO FAST FORWARD ... read more »
- 2017 Chevrolet Silverado 1500: complete transmission failure (6 complaints) I don't think it's fair that the transmission failed after 7 years. It's not the customer's fault for General Motors to build faulty transmissions on the 2017 Silverado. Also, we shouldn't pay a penny to have the Chevy dealership fix it. We are still driving a 2004 Chevrolet Tahoe and it's a stronger vehicle. We were very loyal to Chevrolet vehicles but, after this problem with the 2017 Silverado; we won't buy a Chevy ... read more »
- 2017 Chevrolet Malibu: defective paint (1 complaints) I have a 2017 Chevrolet Malibu Premier, I think the paint is called Midnight blue but basically it's black with sparkles in it. It started to fade within 2-3 years of time of purchase. So now it's 2024 and it look like a piece of junk! I love this car the interior is beautiful and has very low mileage because I work from home. I just wanted to know if anyone else has this issue? If I didn't like this car so much I would trade it in for a Ford and tell GM to stick it where the sun don't shine. I bought new cars ... read more »
