Example complaints

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

“My vehicle was hit in the parking lot at work and the lense on the driver's side rear light was cracked. I went to the local gas station to have the bulb replaced only to find that due to torrential rains, some water had seeped into the crack and the bulb had blown. Replaced bulb and within two days the bulb was out again. I only noticed this because when I got into my vehicle to run to the store, my gear shift was stuck. I read the maintenance manual that came with my Tracer and used the shift override button. I then took the vehicle back to the garage and ordered a rear light unit. …”
