Example complaints

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

“The mylink backup camera does not allow dimming at night when backing the vehicle causing the mylink backup camera screen in the dash to go full brightness, thus blinding the driver from seeing the passenger mirror. This is a safety hazard that can cause an accident when backing the vehicle at night.”
