- Roadwork (A guy kills a bunch of people to protest a new highway bypass, which will be used by cars)

- The Dark Tower: The Gunslinger (Graphic scene in which a child is run over and killed by a Chevy)
- The Dead Zone (The protagonist is in a car accident as a teenager, leaving him comatose for five years. An FBI agent is later killed via car bomb.)
- The Stand (The infection is first spread by a man crashing his car into a gas station, infecting the patrons and first responders)
- Christine (The whole novel is literally about an evil car)
- Misery (The protagonist, a novelist, is held prisoner by an unhinged fan of his work after a car accident)
- Gerald's Game (The protagonist escapes from her confinement only to crash her car during her escape)
- Needful Things (A character loses his wife and son in a car accident)

It's worth noting that evil cars have made fewer appearances in his work as time goes on. This trend may signify an end to Stephen King's pathological hatred for vehicles. But I can't really say for sure because I haven't read like anything from him past like 2008 so who knows.
