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

This safety flaw should be covered under warranty since the manufacturer is providing materials inferior to past proven stable materials (glass and other available plastics that don't degrade have been available for well over 70 years). …”
