Example complaints

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

“What component or system failed or malfunctioned, and is it available for inspection upon request? High beam projector style LED headlights have bright lines that are very distracting when driving at night. How was your safety or the safety of others put at risk? Driver's vision is impacted. They are particularly bad on curvy, mountainous terrain. The bright lines produced by the high beams impair vision similar to how a movie with flashing lights might affect a person. Has the problem been reproduced or confirmed by a dealer or independent service center? Yes, by 2 dealers. …”
