Example complaints

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

“Gauges in instrument cluster difficult to read. The trim around the cluster divides the gauges into individual pods. The trim is black and the gauge face is also black with red indicator needle. The trim does not allow enough light into the pod area to see the needle in the daytime. You can barely see the needle even when the cluster lights are on. The gauges are so small, the steering wheel blocks viewing them.”
