Example complaints
Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.
“The headlights have dimmed. The lenses have clouded on the inside surface so there is no way to remove the clouding. It is not due to moisture. I have had the dealer look at it twice. It is progressively worse. The dealer said the regional rep said it is a normal finding so the lenses will not be replaced under warranty. He pointed out that new lenses would develop the same clouding.”
