Example complaints
Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.
“On 1-23-2000, my automobile, which is just 4 months old, started showing problems. Every time you applied the brakes, all the interior lights inside would go out. The following morning, I went outside to start my car to let it warm up, when I returned in about 15 min. The interior was filled with smoke and had a very strong odor like plastic burning. I took it to the local dealership here in town, they first said that they checked everything out and could not find anything wrong, just as soon as I got in the car and hit the brake pedal, all the interior lights went out. …”
