Example complaints
Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.
“The contact owns a 2000 mercedes benz c230. The contact stated that the instrument panel gauges, such as the speedometer, were unable to be read, which increased the risk of a crash. The contact would have to pay $1,500 to replace the instrument cluster modules because his VIN was excluded from NHTSA campaign id number 06v028000 (interior lighting). The vehicle has not yet been repaired. The manufacturer did not assist. The failure mileage was 80,000 and the current mileage was unknown.”
