Example complaints
Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.
“While driving on the highway at night during mixed precipitation/icy conditions I noticed I was loosing visibility. I had to pull over on the highway to see if my headlights were on. I discovered they were completely covered in 1.5-2in of ice. The entire front grill of the truck was covered in ice. I had to chip off the ice on the headlights so I could see. I had to pull over three times during my 2hr drive to scrape the lights just so I could see! The headlights on the 22 model have shape, not straight or a smooth curve like prior models, which is part of the problem. …”
NHTSA complaint #11455996, filed 2022-03“Headlights are prone to get water in which shorts out a module and loss of headlight. Happened tonight while driving in the dark. Flickering occured in the driver side as the passenger side failed a few nights ago. Seeing a trend online of others having the same problem. Loss of lighting at night is a severe risk of driving at high speeds”
