Example complaints

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

“A thick film appears on the windshield throughout the car as if someone was smoking cigarettes or some type of substance. This film shows up on the car windows every 3 days if you don't wash the windows it gets thicker. We have taken the vehicle back several times and they can't seem to find the cause. Also if you drive for more than an hour your eyes will start to burn and it will make you feel sleepy. This is not safe. The dealer just keep washing the windows. Something needs to be done.”
