Example complaints

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

“Headlamp lens fog up, reducing illumination dramatically and causing a saftey hazard when driving at night. Have noted much newer models with the same problem, so it is obvious to me that this is a manufactuer's defect and not normal wear and tear. Other issues include premature: speedometer needle light failure, cd changer failure, and cracked dash air vent frames.”

NHTSA complaint #10002784, filed 2003-01, 73,000 miles

“Front headlamps fill with moisture reducing night visability to next to nothing. All years of this SC400 model have the same problem. The dealer wants $500.00 per light and labor. This is a safety defect!!!. A seal should be made available and installed by the dealer at no cost. Spending 1k every few years is a rip off. The front dash splits at air vent. The am radio does not work properly. The cd player does not work properly. There are many factory defects not addressed by the manufacturer and lives at stake with a headlamp problem. Just one person getting injured or dieing is too much. …”
