“I am sick and tired of being blinded by both SUV and luxury vehicle headlights. Last week, I literally had to pull over on the side of a road to wait for my eyes to clear after being blinded by an SUV that also had halogen lights. My only solution now is to drive slowly, hoping they will pass me as I keep my eyes to the right side of the road (not feeling very safe in the process). I've already had one car totaled by an unfair-height collision with an SUV..I don't want to lose not only my car but my life next time one of those egoists takes a joyride.”

NHTSA complaint #10442533, filed 2012-01, 99,908 miles“Consumer stated 3 of the 4 tires tires on the vehicle including the spare states the tire pressure should be 44 PSI, where as the other tire states 33 PSI, consumer has requested information from the manufacturer as to what is the correct tire presure and has been unsuccessful.(goodyear wrangler rt/s p25570r16 109s)”
NHTSA complaint #565486, filed 2002-04“The radio component overheats to the extent that cassettes and cds are hot - not warm- to the touch. Other buttons on the dash are hot to touch. Dealer iinstalled a fan behind the radio to cool it down, but this did not solve the problem..it only redistributed the heat. Climate control buttons are still hot to touch. Ford says this is normal and this is their solution. Seems like they only tried to take care of symptom, not solve a problem. Also, because fan is silent, we won't know if fan malfunctions until it's too late. Something's liable to melt.”
