Example complaints

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

“Trailer brakes and lights come and go. I start with having everything then loose brakes and lights when I’m driving. This is apparently a known issue that they have a fix for but I have never received anything about a recall.”

NHTSA complaint #11728285, filed 2026-03

“There is an electrical / turn signal and trailering issue. Not towing- the right turn signal gives a rapid flash when the automatic headlights are activated or in off position. The rapid flash goes away when manual headlights are used both running lights and on. Although the light still works with a rapid blink, there is a dash error message and it’s impossible to know while driving if the error is real or not. This issue is intermittent when auto headlights are selected. Towing- bigger safety issue. The trailer lights only work properly when headlights are in auto mode and daylight. …”
