“Recall for daylight running lights over heating didn't apply to my particular car, but seems to be a problem in my car regardless. Ground wires in my headlight assembly have fried and left scorch marks on headlight connection. No actual fire yet just a melted plastic under the hood. Not sure if my car is invalid as have been fixed or just not covered but in either case part is failing.”
NHTSA complaint #11142230, filed 2018-10, 90,000 miles“My headlights are completely burning out. I've changed them a couple times and my father told me my wires keep burning out. Also my fuel system keeps not giving enough fuel. I keep getting a gas line emissions when I get a check on my car. Check engine light on then off a few days later. Also my seatbelt in the back keep coming out.”
NHTSA complaint #10823228, filed 2016-01, 144,000 miles“My headlights are grey on the bottom so I can't see to drive at night. I changed headlights but there appeared to be a big problem installing the new lights. I paid $60.00 for the new lights. There was no improvement. I still can't see to drive at night.”
NHTSA complaint #10593886, filed 2014-05, 131,000 miles“I have problems with whenever I go to put gas in my car, some of it goes on the ground. Not all of the gas goes on the ground, but a little less than half of what I purchased. My headlights are so dim that I can't hardly see when I'm driving at night. Also, my passenger side air bag light is constantly on? There's one there and nothing bigamy wrong with it that I can see. The stereo.....only the driver side front speaker works, the other three doesn't work at all....please look into these few things or give me some sort of idea of what I can do”
NHTSA complaint #11306218, filed 2020-01, 177,900 miles“The dashboard over the speedometer becomes very hot and the key is hot when removed. I feel this may be related to recall 14236 regarding running lights. I am concerned about the recall 06133 regarding fuel line/fuse block as well.”
