Example complaints

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

“An extremely common problem with many vehicles is clouding of the plastic lenses over headlights. This problem is exceedingly severely bad on the mazdaspeed 6. The clouding cannot be repaired via headlight restoration kits as once it's removed, it comes back even worse after. The only solution is to replace the prohibitively expensive headlight assemblies. Since these assemblies include the hid headlights electronics (ballast) they are incredibly expensive. These headlights have been known to cloud and become completely worthless within a year or two. …”
