Example complaints
Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.
“Description of Incident: > While driving in freezing drizzle/sleet conditions in northern Minnesota, the factory-installed LED headlights on my 2025 Ford Bronco became obscured by ice buildup within 15 minutes of driving. The Safety Issue: > the LED headlights do not produce sufficient heat to melt frozen precipitation. This resulted in a degradation of forward visibility during nighttime driving, creating a safety hazard. I was forced to pull over repeatedly on a high-speed roadway to manually scrape ice from the lenses. …”
NHTSA complaint #11707925, filed 2025-12“Driving in sub-freezing temperatures with snow/rain falling and slush on the road, the headlights iced over with thick slush and ice and reduced visibility to dangerous levels requiring me to pull off the road and chip off the ice putting myself in a dangerous situation being on the side of the road during a storm.”
