“This problem exists bwhen the vehicle is sationary and in transit. It appears to be intermitten as well. My brake lights work when I am braking, but they seem to intermittenly be failing when I use my directional switch (4 way). I have been advised on 3 occassions, twice by sheriff's deputies that my brake lights are not working. But they do work except when the directionals are on. After some research we have discovered that replacing the 4 way switch will resolve the problem. May I note that I have never had this device fail in any of my vehicles ever. …”
NHTSA complaint #11316828, filed 2020-03, 198,000 miles“I was forced to drive this company vehicle by new transportation manager, even though I had another company vehicle assigned to me to drive. From 11/9/2018 to 11/13/2018 I worked overtime plus my regular week of work.

NHTSA complaint #11157200, filed 2018-12, 178,000 miles“The evenflo on my way infant car seat was not very safe once installed in any vehicle. My infant son was able to kick out the seat belt from the top thread. We were unable to use the base attached to it since it would not fit in my car. Another problem that makes me very furious. Everybody is so concerned in safety of the car seat itself, but did they ever install one of these things. Most parents prefer the car seat to be installed in the rear center, but are unable to do that because of the design of this seatbelt. Is it possible to make this seatbelt comply with the car seat installations. …”
