Example complaints

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

“The head light lenses on my 2002 gt mustang has faded so bad its affecting the lighting you can barely see at night it makes the lights really dim, like shining a light through paper kind of an idea. This is something that needs looked into, there are several models this is affecting. And I think Ford needs to replace these at their expense, there needs to be a recall to deal with this. It only get worse as time goes by, mine have kept getting more faded as time goes by and its on the inside of the lenses so it has to be a problem in their plastic they make them from. …”
