Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.
“I found recalls of my car about exterior lighting, vehicle speed control, and rear suspension. But I don't know if my car got fixed before since it was a second-hand car. What should I do next?”
NHTSA complaint #10885183, filed 2016-07“Whitaker sales sent me on the road with no lights, no spare tire and no jack. They sold me a 2000 Toyota Camry and said no damage but I question this. I questioned the flat tire and the lights .they said things were fine . I will explain more by sending disclosures of the vehicle if you want.”
NHTSA complaint #10188070, filed 2007-04“Driving lights and back up lights are not bright enough even when changing the bulb. The lights constantly dim while on. The front lights are always on no matter what time of day it is. The rear of the car sways dangerously if driving over anything smooth, bumpy, like a manhole. Or turning and running over a manhole.”
