2020 BMW M340I
Filed Oct 22, 2026
Plastic components in the oil pump went out. BMW has made new oil pumps with metal components that are less fragile and do not fail as often. Outside of warranty these repairs can be very costly. I have had to pay out of pocket for these repairs myself. I do not understand why this is not a recall.
2026 SUBARU WRX
Filed Oct 22, 2026
This occurred in a brand new WRX with only 799 miles. I was driving on a very unpopulated road, and I had the high temperature warning display on the dash. The temperature gauge was reading high. I pulled over for a short duration to let the car cool down and then proceeded to limp it home since I was less than two miles away. I parked the car in the driveway, turned it off, exited the car, and noticed coolant leaking from the front of the bumper. I inspected what little amount of radiator that…

2023 KIA FORTE
Filed Oct 22, 2026
While driving on the freeway at approximately 65 mph, my vehicle suddenly lost normal braking function. The brake pedal felt loose, and I had to press it nearly to the floor for the vehicle to slow down. Even then, stopping took significantly longer than normal. Pumping the brake pedal approximately five times temporarily restored normal braking, but the pedal became loose again afterward. Fortunately, there were no vehicles directly in front of me, allowing me to gradually slow down and exit…

This caused the tank to deform and the deformation of the tank led to the fuel pump being pushed out and the back seat of the car was completely unattached and no longer secured. There was a strong presence of gas smell in the car as well. The check engine light came on and the car began to drive poorly. It was taken directly to a Hyundai dealership where it remains as of today. This…
