Example complaints
Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.
“The dashboard is melting and has become shiny. The shine renders the driver blind to traffic by reflecting the sun. The shine also reflects against the windshield and reflects back. This makes the visibility towards the left side and front of the driver to be very low causing a hazardous driving condition.”
