My car broke down as I was driving with no prior indication or warning. It failed to run when I tried to start it back up, so I had to push it off the road and call for a tow. The shop told me the problem was that the tube-fuel supply line was corroded from the inside and needed to be replaced. I had a similar issue with my brake fluid lines being corroded and needing to be replaced a year prior. How is it these supply lines are built out of such a poor material, that the vehicle barely makes it 10 years/100K miles and they are already failing because the fuel line can't handle fuel and the brake line can't handle brake fluid?

Drivers headrest deployed while vehicle was in my driveway overnight. I could have been injured or it could have cause an accident if the headrest deployed while driving. Many other people online have had this issue with their 2015 Jeep Patroit. No warnings provided and despite an auto repair place stating they cannot repair it but they believe there was a recall for this. I have not found one but there should be. Because I was told it was expensive to replace I did not have it repaired when it occurred sometime in early 2024. No police informed since it occurred while parked in my driveway overnight.
