Example complaints

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

“Certain lights in dashboard controls are burnt out. Right now the problem just involves the tachometer, ignition illumination and driver heat/cool control indicator. Problem is manageable during the daytime but at night, necessary parts of the dashboard do not illuminate. The problem is that the lightbulbs themselves cannot be replaced. The whole control board for that particular part of the dash ($300.00) must be replaced which is ridiculous on a four year old car.”
