Example complaints

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

“The headlights and dashboard lights start flashing on and off just like the hazard lights. I was using the automatic feature for the headlights the first time it happened then tried to control them with the manual switch to no avail. I used only the manual feature for a few days and did not have a problem. After about a week , I was coming home a night and after having the lights on for about an hour they started flashing again. …”
