“While driving at night headlight switch button broke, fell apart, causing complete headlight failure, and resulting in poor visibility. Consumer has contacted the manufacturer.”

NHTSA complaint #845984, filed 1999-08

“Brakes light portions of the taillight melt and deform. While the optics of the taillight lens is degraded there is also internal deformation that makes it impossible to remove and replace the bulb, when it burn out. The deformation of the lens causes it to be nearer to the heat of the bulb causing continued deformation. Ultimately the lens will contact the bulb and probably cause it to break. When the bulb burns out or break the entire taillight assembly will have to be replaced. All due to design flaw that manifests itself whenever the brake lights are on for an extended period of time.”
