Example complaints
Electrical system: “I was unable to dim the dash cluster lights below 100% brightness using the manufacturer supplied dimming controls. I attempted adjustments while driving at night on a freeway with the headlights on, while parked in a rest area with the engine running and headlights on and off, and with the ignition on accessory without the engine running. This creates dangerous bright glare to the drivers eyes making driving very difficult at night.”
