Example complaints

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

“Headlight cover falls off headlight assembly. Bulb is exposed to elements, which destroys the bulb. Replacement part, which is an headlight assembly, includes a headlight bulb, cost $125-$145. This is a rediculous amount of money to pay when just a plastic cover falls off. Make the plastic cover available with a glue kit for the customer to fix the problem. Then get your engineers to fix the problem.”
