• Pedestrian alert sounds investigation as of 20230127

  Nhtsa received a petition on or about july 18, 2022, requesting that federal motor vehicle safety standard (fmvss) 141 be applied to all electric and hybrid vehicles operating in the united states. The petition can be reviewed at nhtsa.Gov under odi number 11486072.Fmvss 141 establishes performance requirements for pedestrian alert sounds for motor vehicles. The standard applies to hybrid and electric vehicles that have a gross vehicle weight rating of 4,536 kg or less or are defined as low-speed vehicles. The standard became fully applicable to all such vehicles manufactured on or after march 1, 2021.The petitioner asserts that hybrid and electric vehicles to which the standard does not apply should be found to contain a safety defect. In support of the petition, the petitioner includes findings contained in a bill introduced in the house of representatives in 2009, the pedestrian safety enhancement act of 2009, h.R. 734, 111th cong. (2009). A related bill, the pedestrian safety enhancement act of 2010, became law in january 2011 (pub. L. 111-373). The petitioner requests that nhtsa require all electric and hybrid vehicles comply with fmvss 141, regardless of production date.The defect petition has been opened to evaluate the issue and determine whether to grant or deny the petition.The associated product list is not exhaustive and may contain vehicles that are equipped with pedestrian alert sounds.

• Desiccated air bag inflator rupture investigation as of 20210917

  From 2000 through 2017, takata produced millions of air bag inflators using two types of phase-stabilized ammonium nitrate ("psan") propellant -- propellant 2004 and propellant 2004l. After prolonged exposure to high temperature cycles and humidity, inflators using propellant 2004 can degrade, causing the propellant to burn too quickly when ignited. The rapid burning can cause the inflator to rupture during deployment, potentially causing serious or even fatal injury to vehicle occupants. See 2016 blomquist report at www.Nhtsa.Gov/sites/nhtsa.Gov/files/documents/expert_report-hrblomquist.Pdf.Consequently, all frontal inflators using propellant 2004 that do not contain a "desiccant" (a substance that traps and holds moisture) in us vehicles are under recall. These "non-desiccated" inflators either have been or are required to be replaced.In some cases, the remedy part for these recalled inflators was, or will be, an inflator using either propellant 2004 or 2004l that does contain a desiccant. None of these "desiccated" remedy parts (which were installed in older model year vehicles) are currently under recall for a degradation concern. Certain subsets of desiccated psan inflators using propellant 2004 for use as original equipment, however, have been recalled for a degradation concern. All takata inflators produced with propellant 2004l contain desiccant, and none of these desiccated inflators using propellant 2004l are under recall for a degradation concern. There have been no reported field ruptures in any non-recalled desiccated psan inflators.It is understood that desiccants fully saturate at some threshold, at which point any additional moisture will not be captured. This means the degradation process observed in non-desiccated inflators using propellant 2004 may also occur in non-recalled desiccated inflators using propellant 2004, assuming additional moisture enters the inflator and high temperature cycling occurs. Based on available information, desiccant saturation can occur within the first five years in the worst environments, and the time required for full saturation is affected by multiple factors. While no present safety risk has been identified, further work is needed to evaluate the future risk of non-recalled desiccated inflators using propellant 2004.Three entities -- takata (now known as tk global), the independent testing coalition, and exponent -- have been studying the long-term behavior of takata desiccated psan inflators using propellant 2004l (as well as 2004) in the presence of moisture and temperature cycling. The research efforts, which include development of predictive modeling techniques and field sample analysis, are ongoing. To date, none of the researchers have identified field evidence showing that propellant 2004l is undergoing a degradation process that leads to aggressive deployment and potential rupture. However, the time in service of such inflators remains short compared to that of the inflators using propellant 2004. Further study is needed to assess the long-term safety of desiccated inflators using propellant 2004l.The office of defects investigation is opening this investigation to examine whether a safety defect related to propellant degradation exists in non-recalled desiccated psan frontal inflators manufactured by takata. This investigation will require extensive information on takata production processes and surveys of inflators in the field. Lists of recall actions that may have used desiccated psan inflators as remedy parts, as well as the makes and models originally manufactured with them, is available with the downloadable version of this document (see nhtsa.Gov/recalls?Nhtsaid=ea21002 -- note this information is subject to change/revision as the investigation proceeds). This investigation does not supersede ea15-001, which remains open.

Overnight fuel pressure loss results in extended crank cycle. Despite 6 service visits between two chicagoland area porsche dealerships, the vehicle has not been satisfactorily repaired. Fuel pressure loss was confirmed on multiple occasions by the semersky's porsche exchange in highland park, illinois. Fuel pumps were apparently replaced, the last time damaging the seat clips under the second row bench seat. Fuel pressure loss has slowed, but still occurs when fuel tank is more than 3/4 empty. This vehicle is covered by manufacturer warranty and the problem became apparent at 24k miles.

Front panel of panoramic sun roof exploded and shattered while driving at approximately 75 mph on a highway.

Acc/ pas unavailable warning: approximately eight months ago while driving on a city street in sarasota, fl the pas system was activated and abruptly stopped my vehicle without reason. On two separate occasions the "acc/pas is unavailable" warning has appeared on my instrument panel. On the first occasion, a vehicle to my left was attempting to merge into my lane of traffic while we were approaching an intersection on a city street. I attempted to honk my horn (which failed making an audible sound) and swerved to prevent this impending collision. The driver of the vehicle in front of me also witnessed what was occurring and slammed on their breaks. My pas system failed to alert and apply pressure and/or stop the breaks as this safety feature is designed. Despite my efforts to break quickly the vehicle in front of me and i collided. The first driver that merged into my lane fled the scene. There was no damage to the vehicle in front of me and the porsche had moderate front end damage. A police report was filed. The vehicle was taken to our insurance company's auto repair express program at a collision center of their choice. It was then sent to our local porsche service department for inspection and reinstallation and calibration of the pas cameras and operations. On the second occasion approximately 10 days after having the vehicle back from the body shop and inspections, i was sitting at red traffic light on a city street. The light changed green, cars behind me started honking. The car in front of me began to proceed through the light before breaking abruptly. Again the "acc/pas is unavailable" warning appeared on the instrument panel prior to this and my breaks did not respond to my applied pressure. I had not yet accelerated.

Tl* the contact owns a 2017 porsche cayenne s e-hybrid. While driving 35 mph, the vehicle stalled and lost power. The check engine warning indicator illuminated and a warning message that read "engine failure, drive on poss" appeared. The contact was able to coast the vehicle over to a driveway. The vehicle restarted on the first attempt, but failed to accelerate. The vehicle was towed to the local dealer (porsche of arlington, 3100 jefferson davis hwy, arlington, va, 22202) where it was diagnosed that the throttle failed and a software update was required. The vehicle was repaired with a new throttle and software update; however, less than 24 hours later, the failure recurred. The dealer was notified and the vehicle was towed again. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer stated that they would have the case escalated and someone would return the call. No additional assistance was provided. The failure mileage was approximately 2,600.
