Example complaints

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

“1) I have replaced the headlight on my vehicle 22 times since purchasing new. 2) low tire light illuminates daily and the car has been serviced numerous times at dealer at my expense and still not repaired. Causing me anxiety to use vehicle even after checking tires for damage, weight and even going as far as replacing car. 3) received recall regarding puddle lights and fire and it took almost 2 years for dealer to finally acquire parts only after threatening to contact local news. …”
