Example complaints
Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.
“Since 1990 auto have come with plastic headlight lenses. After about two years they become cloudy and restrict the range of the headlights. A walk through the parking lot will confirm the cloudiness, and comparing a new one with an old one shows an almost 50% reduction in night range. The replacement units are $150.00 and up compared to $15 for the older glass units before 1990.. The plastic formulation needs to be changed and the problem addressed.. Thank you.”
NHTSA complaint #10314708, filed 2010-02“Driver's side cover on the turn signal light has fallen off. Looks like the driver's side is coming off. Consumer said that light indicated that it was working from the inside, but was not blinking on the outside because of water getting into it.”
