Example complaints
Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.
“While driving in slow traffic, lost power in all electronic components (windows, door locks, air conditioner, dashboard indicator lights). Luckily car kept going. Drove off freeway and manually unlocked car to get out. Car started up normally after that.”
NHTSA complaint #10236778, filed 2008-08, 53,751 miles“The contact stated during daylight hours the instrument panel lighting is too dim. This interferes with the contact reading the gauges. The manufacturer determined this is the way the vehicle was designed. Update 5/2/2006 - at the maximum setting the light is still not bright enough.”
