Example complaints

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

“Many newer cars are equipped with blinding, blue-green, headlights that are a safety hazard and should be prohibited. There are several problems. First, when seen from any angle, these headlights are highly distracting, in that they draw ones eyes from the road ahead and on either side; the reason that they are distracting is that they are of a notably different color and are much brighter than the traditional incandescent lights. …”
