Example complaints
Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.
“In a daylight safety zone requiring headlights, I noticed my dash lights were not on, even though my light switch was in the manual on position. This occurred during daytime while traveling through dense groves of trees that allowed enough light to see the road, but produced enough shade to darken my instrument panel. On entering a tunnel, my headlights showed to be on, but the instrument panel lights were not on, causing the instrument panel to be totally blacked out, and creating a potential hazardous condition. …”
