Example complaints

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

“So much for investing in american-made vehicles. I, like over a dozen others who took the time to file a complaint, am experiencing the flicker and dim of all lighting during the evening hours - especially when the weather's colder. It is unnerving to me, and I'm sure to those drivers around me, to drive with questionable exterior lighting. And, as others have said, GM does not view this as a safety issue . What say they have their spouse, or their child, drive a vehicle with this same not a safety issue and see if their view doesn't change? …”

NHTSA complaint #10049630, filed 2003-12, 55,000 miles

“Car exterior and interior lights will dim and then brighten while driving at night. Seems to act up more in colder tempertures but is still acting up in warmer weather. Fan speed for air & heater will flucuate. They have replaced the altenator but it didn't correct the problem. Also having probelms when starting up the car. Acts like it is missing but no engine check light came on. Dealership tried running a fuel injector fluid through it but hasn't corrected the problem.”

NHTSA complaint #723373, filed 2000-05

“My 1999 Oldsmobile Intrigue has an ongoing problem with all interior lights that operate when the headlights are on. The headlights as well as the dash lights, dome light, trunk light, etc all flicker/dim dramatically and intermittently and at the same time whenever they feel like it. It has been attempted to be repaired 5 times by the dealer, and is now at the Oldsmobile tech assistance level. Parts such as the dealer module and the alternator have been replaced to no avail. …”
