Example complaints

Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.

“After the dealer performed scheduled maintenance on my vehicle, I discovered that my tail lights no longer worked, including rear brake lights. I decided to determine what caused the malfunction and was able to replicate the issue with the following steps: 1. While the car is off, open the lift gate. 2. Manually close the lift gate, but softly. Close it all the way. 3. Turn on the vehicle. The rear brake lights will not work, even if you turn the lights off and on. 4. Open and close the lift gate firmly to restore brake light functionality. …”
