Example complaints

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

“Mine is a complaint regarding the nearly new style plastic headlights being used on all vehicles made since 2000. You see them everywhere as they can be easily identified by their cloudiness after several years of use. There are many makers of diy fix it solutions that will repair these lens to about 75 percent of new but within 3 - 4 months they again return to cloudy and continue to get worse until they are nearly useless. Many people continue to use them since there is no cost effective solution. …”
