Example complaints

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

“Both my rear break lights are showing stress cracks from movement of the frame of the body. There are other references to this happening online from other owners and it's a manufacturer defect. I brought to the dealer and was told that they should be replaced for $3000 each as they are allowing water to intrude and will cause a shorting out of the brake lights. No brake lights would be a major hazard. The cracks in both lights were not due to impacts. It is a design issue.”

NHTSA complaint #11733939, filed 2026-04
