Example complaints
Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.
“I have had a problem with my vehicles /brakelight burning out after a few days of replacement. Every Geo Prizm I see on the roads today have the same exact problem. I hate the fear of wondering wether or not they blew while I'm driving my vehicle. Also the risk of getting a ticket for something that is obviously a manufacture defect.”
