Example complaints

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

“Windshield is full of what looks like scratches, but it must be in lamination (?), because you can't feel them on either the interior or exterior of the glass. Gradually getting worse, causing annoying vision through the windshield. No real incident date, just gradually getting worse, spreading.”

NHTSA complaint #10160002, filed 2006-06
