Example complaints
Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.
“The brake lights do not work, the turn signals do not work, there is one tail light working at the lower right rear. Front parking lights work but front turn signals so not work. The cab brake light works. The turn signal flasher works and the dashboard turn arrows work but the flasher goes to hyper flash. The emergency lights do not work, the flasher switch works. The turn signal in the mirror left or right does not work. I really do not know how long this has been going on.”
NHTSA complaint #11755921, filed 2026-08“Purchased new Aug 2019 in PA. Headlights had condensation behind them within the first month. Brought it into the service dept. in Bedford PA. Was told they wouldn't do anything with it because the issue would resolve with the air port in the back of the headlight assembly. The situation did not resolve, took it back multiple times and they refused to replace headlight assembly while it was under warranty. Now there is an inch of water in the headlight, and the bottom right blinker quit working. …”
NHTSA complaint #11753922, filed 2026-07“Headlights are foggy causing less and less light to drive by. Transmission has a hesitation when going from P-D, P-R, D-R, and R-D. It does this most of the time but not all the time. Transmission makes loud popping noises at times. Seems to be mostly when almost stopped or from almost stopped and then accelerating. Seems to try and shift gears also when truck goes into Regen mode when stopped at traffic light or stop sign making loud popping noises. It does this sometimes but not all of the time.”
