Example complaints

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

“Multi-function stalk to the left of the steering wheel with the headlamp and turn signal swtiches has malfunctioned twice now. This happened while driving down the road. When it malfunctions, the instrument panel will not illuminate, and the tail lamps will not illuminate. The first time the dealership replaced the part. The second time, I took it apart and cleaned it, and it fixed the problem.”
