Example complaints
Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.
“Design defect: turn signal fails to cancel after a sweeping turn (e.g., right or left turn from 2nd lane, or a corner cut yield-type turn). Safety issue is that a non-cancelled turn signal can then cause other drivers tp believe you will be turning, when no such turn is contemplated. This vehicle employs progressive steering , which means that steering wheel rotation is progressively magnified in the turn of the front wheels. …”
NHTSA complaint #10509313, filed 2013-04, 22 miles“The white running lights on the rear end of some Lexus models are hazardous. White lights indicate an oncoming vehicle, so rear white running lights violate that rule. I have been driving behind these vehicles in fair weather conditions and had momentary confusion, so I imagine that in poor weather conditions, this could really cause a problem. Please consider prohibiting the placement of white running lights on the rear end of vehicles. Thank you.”
NHTSA complaint #10780418, filed 2015-10“LED headlights are pointed downward and is set with auto leveling to adjust. The distance you can see isn't far enough and these need to be higher. There is no way to adjust these LED lights. With the halogen bulbs you have a level option to raise or lower. You do not with LEDs factory fitted.”
