i started my car in the morning, per my usual routine. after a few seconds, i heard a very loud bang and the car stalled. a few seconds later, there was a large amount of smoke coming from under the hood. i opened the hood to see a large fire had started. my son, who heard the loud bang, came outside and saw the flames from under the hood. he ran into the house, grabbed a fire extinguisher, and attempted to put out the fire. he got the fire out but it was difficult. i had the car looked at by a mechanic and told me that the intake manifold had literally exploded. he has stated that he has never seen anything like this. it appears that the exploding manifold ruptured a fuel line. he told me there was a recall on this vehicle relating to a rupturing manifold and leaking fuel but that my vehicle had already had the recall performed. he thought that the new parts may be defective which is why i am reporting this incident.

i received a safety recall notice from chrysler concerning gas tank problems. i scheduled an appointment and took the car to the dealer. they were to install a trailer hitch to correct the problem. they called and said they could not do the work because the bumper was not in line as it apparently been hit. i was told needed to pay to fix this before they would do the work. the car is 19 years old and chrysler allowed us to drive it without us knowing about the existing defect. it seems quite unfair that they only have one method to repair their defect and they are then off the hook for their own safety design flaw. this is the essence of my complaint. *tr

i took my car into the mechanic for two issues: a possible brake fluid leak, and a weak to almost nonfunctional a/c in the summer months. he told me that my front passenger seat subframe was completely rotted out due to rust (the rust was not mentioned whatsoever during the car's inspection only 6 months prior) and would have to be replaced because the car is unsafe to drive. checked online and it seems to be a widely prevalent issue with gen 6 accords (98 - 02). i've lived in a snowy city for the life of the car, but there is no appreciable rust anywhere else on the car. only in this one spot, which is directly under the a/c drain. honda changed the location of the a/c drain in 2003 (with their 7th gen accords), and this problem is not an issue on those cars. honda has said that it is just a coincidence, but they are better off putting out a recall and covering the cost of replacing these front passenger subframes than having to pay for a class action lawsuit once somebody is seriously injured or killed because of a rotting subframe. while i think that my weak a/c may be what caused the acceleration of this subframe rot, it is unacceptable that so many people have had this issue with the subframe and honda has made no attempts to reconcile the issue. ford did a recall on a 12 year old car when they discovered a design flaw. i am consulting lawyers at this time to determine if there is a potential for a class action lawsuit before there is a report of somebody dying due to this. *js

first time the brake failure occurred was in the driveway. my son, a newly licensed driver was taking the vehicle to school when he came back into the house and said the brakes on the truck don't feel right and the pedal goes to the floor. he stated that as he was backing out of the driveway, the brake pedal went to the floor. as a mechanic, i took the vehicle to the shop and found the brake line from the master cylinder to the rear brakes had failed. i replaced this line. less than a month later another brake line burst when i had my foot on the brake in a parking lot. this time it was the brake line from the tee near the differential going to the left rear brake. all brake lines will now be replaced. my personal opinion is this is a defective part. i know i live in an area where deicing chemicals are used on the roads in winter, however, to avoid rust problems on this vehicle, the underside of this vehicle is power washed weekly during the winter months to remove these chemicals. frankly, the brake lines do not look that bad. it's like they just develop tiny "pin holes" in specific areas. *tr

i was approaching a traffic light when it turned yellow and then red immediately. i hit the brakes and went right through the light. there were no brakes at all and my foot hit the floor. as i coasted and tried to downshift the truck came to a crawl, i turned into a road where i could stop the vehicle.there was no warning to let me know that the brake line was going to let go. i could smell something which must have been brake fluid that emptied all over ground. the idiot lite said service brakes and was beeping very loud. i had the truck towed to my mechanic and the new brake lines are going to cost about seven hundred dollars to install coated steel lines which should have been installed from the factory. all foreign cars come with coated or copper brake lines. why can't american auto builders do it for our own country? this has to be one of the most dangerous thing that can happen and could be avoided for a few more dollars per car. when you spend close to 40,000 dollars for a vehicle don't you think we deserve better than this? *tr

i had a brake line failure under a hard braking condition (firm, but not panic stop). the hard line from the abs pump to the rear axle failed just above the flex hose coupling. i had believe it to be the flex hose at first. upon inspection, the hardline and fitting to the flex line at the rear axle has become so corroded as to nearly be indistinguishable. braking control was minimal. the pedal went to the floor even with the front circuit still intact. even then, it could not completely stop the vehicle and i was forced to use the parking/emergency brake. had i been towing at the time, i am convinced it would have been catastrophic. *tr

i brought my cadillac cts 2004 to dealer for tranny service change they said there was a recall on my keys they asked for them and if we did not have both of them they would not be able to do it so i got the other key and then they did the work my key had a 1 on the back of it and a 2 on the back of my faience for the memory seats my keyless entry 's have the same numbers so they do the work "put plastic inserts and a little key ring on two keys" thats what the recall was for, they give me keys back but i noticed they are not my keys there are no memory numbers on them so i talk to the service manger told him my problem he did not even ask his workers what happened he went straight into denial and said my keys never had a number on them and instead and implied me and my faience were delusional 'we know our cadillac" also they changed my ignition sleeve in my steering column i know this because i turn it every time i get in and the one they replaced it with looks like a dog chewed it its so beat up so i did some research and my vehicle comes with a key called a circle plus key the keys the cadillac company gave me back are a key called pk3 not my original key so i go home, go to a gm dealer ask to make my keys with my vin they make me circle plus key looks just like the one i gave them in the first place low and behold it don't work on my ignition now. so i have my mom bring the key i had made for her "because i misplaced them a couple months earlier had a lock smith make that opened my door and started my car after programming it that key does not work now!!!!!!!!! my air bag light comes on now witch makes me think my air bag system is now not up to par from the ignition not right. so i then go to the cadillac dealer were the problem originated from ask them to make me a key "told them i lost them". *tr

i took my vehicle in for a blower motor malfunction and a brake job to my regular mechanic who works on all my vehicles. while they had the vehicle up on the lift, he noticed that the right front spring had broken and gouged the tire leaving the tire damaged and the car inoperable. when they called the dealership to order a new spring from saab, the parts department said that b/c of mileage and age it would be covered under a service bulletin. yeah! so, i called dealership and inquired about having the vehicle towed (100 miles) and the saab dealership do the work. mileage on 9-3, 94,484 good! 6 months past the "time" limit! bad! needless to say, after $700 later i have replaced both front springs as well as the $175 damaged tire. the spring could have caused serious damage to the car, occupants as well as others if i was driving while the damaged tire gave out, due to the spring breaking! the vehicle drove perfectly i was not aware of the broken spring! this is not my only vehicle and i honestly feel that saab should honor the mileage before the "time" b/c the amount of the vehicle being driven is what seems to be the cause of the failure of the springs.

when at slow speeds when parking and turning here kind of grinding and car not wanting to stop, generally when pulling into or out of a parking spot, or coming to any slow stop. always at a low speed. spoke with dealership service managers who have no knowledge of this problem, although it is documented close to 100 times on this and other web sites: townhall-talk.edmunds.com/direct/view/.f0f480a/29 please check these posts since so many others have experienced this problem which (as stated in one of the posts) very well could be a failure in the design or workmanship in some of the wiring harnesses connecting the ebcm to the speed sensors that causes the brakes to fail. when pulling into a parking spot(almost stopped) there is a grinding sound, a vibrating brake peddle and the car doesn't want to stop. this appears to be an intermittent problem that is only happening on right turns and very slow speeds.

i have received two separate recalls for the air bags in my vehicle. in january i took it to texan dodge in humble, tx. for replacement of the air bags and was told that no parts are available at that time. they promised to call back when parts available. we have checked back several time and still no parts. we received a second recall on may 29, 2015 for the air bags again. we contacted texan dodge in humble, tx and still no parts available. i am beginning to think that the recalls are not worth the paper they are written on as there is little recourse for me as an owner. i guess if the bags blow up and kill me, my family can sue chrysler dodge for my death.

over the last month, while braking the driver info display would show antilock-traction disabled, then would flash antilock ok, traction ok. vehicle seemed to brake just fine and since the display said it was ok i didn't think it was a problem, then on 9/20/2014 while driving home down my street the car would not stop and the red brake light came on the dash. this happened all without warning. the last time the brakes were applied it showed no signs of trouble. from what i hear this is a very common problem for cadillac allante from 87-92. i know that there were not many of these cars made (about 3000 per year) but if this is a common problem then i feel this must be addressed, since it is safety related. my grandson is getting his driver's license the first of the year and i was going to give him this vehicle.now i have second thoughts.i can't believe gm would allow such a vehicle to be on the highways. this a very dangerous situation!!! thank you for your time *tr

2000 toyota 4runner sr5 with 145,000 miles. at a regular maintenance, i was shown a picture of a hole in my frame. right hand rear of frame where lower trailing arm bracket is welded was rusted through with substantial instability concerns and potential loss of use due to inability to pass state inspection. . otherwise frame fine and no rust/rot on left hand side front or rear. my 4runner has been an excellent and reliable vehicle with regular maintenance. it had only a rust spots on the front bumper, and that's all! this is our family vehicle, and is not abused. i only have 145,000 miles and feel strongly that a frame on a vehicle should last much longer, as in past vehicles i've owned. i have had no problems with my 4runner, i don't want to junk yard it over a bad quality frame from toyota, but it may come to this if i can't have it welded. toyota need to own up to this issue with a recall on the 4runners like they did with their trucks. safety should be first. this is a pressing issue and need to addressed . *tr

during routine maintenance on my 2002 yukon denali, heavy rust/corrosion was first identified on the brake line that runs under the radiator. as i followed it back, more rust/corrosion is visible. they are rusting/corroding in exposed as well as protected areas. concerned for safety and a potential failure i started to investigate, on line, and found that this issue has affected many trucks and suv's in and around my model year. i also found that gm is aware of the issue but has failed to initiate a recall. vehicles of this size are purchased for large families, towing and hauling heavy loads. all the more reason for gm to recognize the potential danger and act accordingly. *tr

i bought this truck used and expected some components of the truck to be worn.the dashboard has several cracks in it when i bought it and have continued to crack even more. this does not appear to be age related but a serious manufacturing defect. i'm worried about pieces flying off and hitting me in the face as broken parts have already done but only landed at my feet.it's like driving with broken glass on your dashboard. i would hate for the passenger airbag to go off and be stabbed by pieces of flying dashboard. i've noticed that n.h.t.s.a. has received more complaints about this component than any other on this truck. why hasn't a recall been issued? this is a serious safety issue. let's not make this another recall debacle. chrysler needs to take responsibility for this defect. no dashboards crack like this with age. *tr
