Example complaints
Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.
“Over the last few months I have encountered numerous vehicles whose operators obviously do not know that their tail lights do not come on when the daytime running lights are activated on their vehicle. As an over the road truck driver I have had numerous occasions to come upon cars and trucks alike that when bright/light but raining, snowing, or foggy have no tail lights on. On several occasions I have proceded to flash my lights at them in the hopes that they would turn their lights on for their safety as well as mine and all other users of the road but to no avail. …”
NHTSA complaint #755678, filed 2001-12“While driving and without warning headlights go out, causing poor driving visibility. Consumer has to use high beams in order to see.
