Example complaints

“My headlights have gone out either one or sometimes both. Either low beam or day lights. All dealership does is replace the bulb but not fix the problem. This has happened more than a handful of times since 2012. This is frustrating and I hate this car. It sounds to me like an electrical issue but they can't find anything wrong with it.”
NHTSA complaint #10577737, filed 2014-04, 30,000 miles“Six months ago, I had to replace my drivers side lowbeam headlight bulb. It appears to be out again. This seems to be an unusually short amount of time to have a headlight go out.”
NHTSA complaint #11171785, filed 2019-01, 74,500 miles“I bought my Suzuki during september 2015. Four months after my purchase the headlights suddenly turned off. The daytime running lights work as well as my high beams. In order for me to drive at night, the high beams are on. My high beams are also not bright enough to be considered high beams. The license plate lights also turned off (the same time). I and a couple others have read the manual and have checked and rechecked fuses. I even replaced the fuses just in case. …”
NHTSA complaint #10896209, filed 2016-08, 72,000 miles“I got my Kizashi in 2012 and have already had to replace the battery twice. I took it to a shop to have looked at and they can't find any reason it keeps being drained the way it has been. I don't know how to fix this.”
NHTSA complaint #10915069, filed 2016-10, 145,000 miles“I purchased this vehicle about a year ago. December of 2014 one of my low beam headlights burnt out. Followed by the second burning out a couple of days later. Now I went to a trade school for auto mechanics and know how to replace headlight bulbs as I have done it plenty of times on other vehicles. After replacing both bulbs with oem replacements they worked fine, no issues, just it was a pain in this vehicle to change. After about 2 months one went out again. They were replaced again with higher quality/rated bulbs. Again after about 2 months same issue. …”
