Example complaints
Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.
“The trunk reflector plastic pegs broke and I've seen this on other tracers as well. We are unable to find another. If we were to go to a used car parts lot, most likely, they would break before we could pop one off. We are forced to use tape to hold it in place. The auto repair shop said that part couldn't be ordered anymore. Yes, this is an old car, but still, we should be able to drive on the freeway without our trunk reflector blowing off and causing an accident. The driver rear tail light is doing the same thing too. …”
