Example complaints
Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.
“Factory LED headlamp was flashing rapidly like a strobe light intermittently before it failed. The lights are bright enought that it was not immediately obvious to me (the driver) that anything was amiss. Was noticeable when close to other vehicles in traffic and on open, dark roads, where the strobing affect as apparent on reflective signs. The unit later failed completely and is now backordered and so unavailable to replace. I'm forced to drive with no headlight. The unit was faulty and suffered from water intrusion, which was determined to be the cause of the failure by the dealership. …”
