Example complaints

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

“The contact stated the instrument panel was not bright enough to see clearly during daylight hours. The service dealer recommended tinting added to the front side windows and the top few inches of the windshield. Led lights were installed into the instrument panel in an attempt to correct the problem. The visibility was still poor and took attention from the road. The manufacturer was notified.
