Example complaints
Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.
“With less than 500 miles on new vehicle, noticed not only headlights were very dim, but extremely weak on driver side. When safely at home, open hood to see if there was a problem. The white plastic retaining ring that holds the headlight bulb (9007) in the headlight housing was off and hanging on the wires, and the headlight bulb was starting the come out of the headlight housing.
