Example complaints

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

“Dash lighting on 2001 Nissan Xterra se is so dim that the gauges can not be read at most times, especially when lights are on during the day in cloudy weather. Visability is difficult on a dark night. Inability to determine speed (and other gauge status) makes vehicle dangerous to operate.”
