Example complaints
Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.
“We thought we needed new bulbs in the headlights. First one stopped working on dim and it wasn't long before neither would work on dim. We've repeatedly tried different new bulbs without success. We have also had it in a dealership service department trying to track down where the problem is. The only way to drive the car at night is to use the fog lights, which don't provided the needed lighting.”
