Example complaints

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

“A short while after owning the vehicle, the brake light bulbs burnt out. I've had to replace all the brake light bulbs approximately every 3 months or so. After a few bulb replacements I noticed the sockets that hold the bulb starting to look burnt. Now all the sockets in the rear of the vehicle are to the point where they are completely fried and melted needing replaced.”
