“It seems that the headlight intensity of later model autos keeps getting brighter and brighter. Their own visibility might be enhanced, but it is at the expense of all of the other drivers. I feel that the Ford pickups and suvs are a major culprit, as well as any vehicle made by acura. I would support a law restricting the candle power and height of headlamps, and an absolute ban on xenon lights.”

NHTSA complaint #10182232, filed 2007-02

“The contact owns a 2007 Ford Expedition. The contact stated that the hazard lights illuminated independently and would not turn off. After parking and exiting the vehicle, the contact was alerted by people more than once that the hazard lights were illuminated. As the failure progressed, both turn signals failed to work. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The vehicle was taken to an authorized dealer to diagnose the failure. The manufacturer was notified. The approximate failure mileage was 95,000.”

“Intensity of the lighting supplied to the electronic message center (which displays mileage, odometer, remaining fuel mileage, fuel economy, compass, etc.) is provided through a photo cell on the dashboard. It is wired incorrectly, so that high intensify light (as in daylight) reduces the amount of light displayed. This is backwards. It makes all functions of the electronic message center (odometer, etc.), impossible to read in normal daylight conditions. …”
