Example complaints

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

“Commuting to work approximately 3 miles away from home, traveling in the dark at 7 am, I flipped my high beam headlights on and suddenly all electrical function went out of the automobile (no headlights or electrical instrumentation). This lasted for approximately 1 to 2 seconds and suddenly and all electrical functions was restored. Things after that seemed ok, but about 6 miles down the road the engine service stabilizer control light appears . I traveled another 11 miles to plainville, and when I arrived the stabilizer control light went out. …”
