Example complaints
Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.
“As for events leading up to the failure, I am not aware of any. I opened the door of my van and found the smell of melting plastic coming out of it. After further inspection I found that my cigarette lighter, which I usually don't have in the plug, because I use the plug for too many other things has melted and was stuck inside my dash. After taking that panel off to see if I could get the lighter out of the plug, I attempted to unplug the wires but while doing this the small amount of the plug that was still attached to the dash broke free and started sparking. …”
