“Headlights project a weird dark shadow on both sides and it makes it very difficult to see in front of me just off center on both sides. This is a very dangerous situation to not feel safe enough to see the road ahead of me”
NHTSA complaint #11065955, filed 2018-01, 150 miles“The vehicle failed to accelerate on a circle causing me and another vehicle to collide.

NHTSA complaint #11144631, filed 2018-11, 18,000 miles“After putting my son in his car seat, I walked around got in the car and the rear window exploded. There was no warning.
