Example complaints

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

“The headlight housing can not be removed to replace a burned out headlight bulb. There are two bolts that need to be removed for each headlight. One of the two bolts can not be removed as the nut holding the bolt rotates inside the plastic housing and will not let the bolt be removed. This is a common failure and means that to many people have to drive with a burned out bulb much longer than necessary until they can schedule a repair appointment. It shouldn't take that long to replace a burned out headlight.”

NHTSA complaint #10150410, filed 2006-02, 99,000 miles

“Headlight lens is so severely faded that it causes poor visibility while driving at night. Dealer was notified. Feel free to provide any further information.”

NHTSA complaint #8004723, filed 2002-02
