Summary
Bought the car on Feb 14th 2026. We were told Avis car sales in fontana does their vehicle inspection on every car before its sold. We noticed the two back tires on the expedition were bald and showing cords. We told Tawnya and George about the tires and they said they would order them, they'd be in within two days and to bring the car back to get them replaced. When we got home we setup ford diagnostics and found out the oil life was at 29% so they also lied and sent us out with bad oil. We checked the dip stick and yeah super dark oil. We've called two days in a row and keep getting told they are busy and they will call us back, they have not. We have tried to reach corporate but they dont have a department for this. The vehicle is currently sitting because of how bad the tires are, its 100% not safe to drive. Trying to get the dealership to honor the safety fix they promised but they are avoiding it.

Summary
I was driving with the car in Autopilot in the center lane of the highway. I could see a white vehicle move close on my right, and I confirmed that it had crossed over into my lane with both its front and back left wheels on my Tesla screen with a quick glance. I then tried to maneuver to the left lane (which my screen showed was clear) but the steering wheel had significant tension. All of a sudden, I heard the chime signaling that Autopilot disengaged, the car jerked hard, and my car was headed toward the median. I swerved quickly to the right and hydroplaned. As I straightened out, my vehicle hit a vehicle in the right hand lane. The strong tension followed by jerk and quick release of tension prevented me from having full control of my vehicle. I believe that if Autopilot had not been engaged, I could have safely moved into the left lane with control. The police arrived but I was very shaken up and simply said I swerved to avoid a car in my lane but in retrospect wish that I had gone into detail. I’d also like to note that I have a clean driving record, was not in a hurry, did not have loud music on, had both hands on the wheel at 10 and 2 o’clock, and was focused on the road.

Summary
The vehicle suddenly lost power while driving on a public roadway. Immediately after, the vehicle began producing a large amount of smoke. The smoke quickly filled the cabin, making it difficult to breathe and creating an urgent safety hazard. My passenger and I had to exit the vehicle right away due to the amount of smoke. We were exposed to smoke inhalation and were stranded on the side of the road in unsafe weather conditions for over an hour while waiting for a tow truck. I later learned that the vehicle had an open recall related to engine issues; however, I was never notified of this recall. Regardless of recall status, the sudden loss of power combined with heavy smoke and potential fire risk created a dangerous situation that could have resulted in serious injury or death. I believe this issue represents a serious safety defect and fire hazard that could endanger other drivers.

Summary
"(NHTSA Recall 22V-681): Affects 2020 - 2023 Titan ...trucks, Where the vehicle may not stay in park, increasing crash risk. Owners are advised to use the parking brake every time they park'" I brought my Nissan Titan to Wallace Nissan in Stuart, Florida because I have had the Titan roll down my driveway when the parking pawl did not engage. I pulled into my driveway and placed the vehicle in park. As I checked to make certain I had necessary paperwork for an appointment I had with the Veterans Administration, the vehicle rolled back almost into the road. I was looking down at my paperwork; my wife noticed the vehicle rolling. On another occasion, the vehicle was put in park, so I could run into the house. The vehicle rolled back and the door bumped into me. Now, I make certain to use the parking-brake, but this is a major safety issue. I looked the issue up and found the NHTSA information above in a Google Search. I scheduled an appointment at 10:30 a.m. on 2/18/2026. When I arrived I was issued a claim check XXX by a Wallace Nissan Service Technician, and was told I would have to pay to have this recall issue fixed and I would have to leave the Titan Pickup for the repair. Strangely, a manufacturing quality problem requires the vehicle to be left for an undetermined time, and no loaner vehicle is provided by the manufacturer while they make the recall repair.

Summary
On January 10, 2026, I purchased a brand new 2025 Hyundai Elantra N with manual transmission. At approximately 517 miles, the vehicle experienced complete clutch and transmission failure and was towed to the selling dealership. The dealership diagnosed the failure and presented a repair estimate of $6,222.96, classifying it as "customer pay/user error" and denying warranty coverage. Parts identified for replacement included the clutch cover assembly and flywheel assembly. I did not authorize any repair. I escalated to Hyundai Motor America corporate, who confirmed the dealership had not responded to their warranty inquiry for over two weeks. On February 18, 2026, Hyundai Motor America's National Consumer Affairs formally denied my warranty claim in writing, stating the clutch failure was due to "improper operation" and classifying it as external influence rather than a manufacturing defect. A complete clutch and flywheel failure at 517 miles on a new vehicle represents what I believe to be a manufacturing defect. No evidence of abuse or improper operation was provided to support the denial. The vehicle remains unrepaired at the dealership with no loaner vehicle provided and no resolution offered.
