Example complaints

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

“Instrument panel speedometer. Daytime speed numbers small, orange and when sun is shining - you have to guess what speed you are traveling - particularly 34/40 MPH - the needle doesn't show up either. At night the light is ok, but daytime driving it is impossible to fallow speed limits when you have to guess at vehicle speed. Digital display doesn't give speed. Tachometer has larger numbers and is less shaded. Picture below is similar to my vehicle, but if you take a picture in daylight - the numbers do not show up. Particularly when you have bifocals!”
