Example complaints
Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.
“The hazard light button on the dashboard fell inboard. The button was never used/pushed as there has never been an occasion to use it. I spoke with the car dealer and he said the plastic on the inside was broken that held the button in place and was not covered under any warranty for the car. Since there was no reason to use the hazard lights so far, the plastic was not broken from use. Now I'm driving my car without any safety hazard lights to use should an occasion arise. My car is currently under another recall - 6821g and would like the hazard lights fixed at the same time.”
