Example complaints
Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.
“Dash light intensity changes from very bright to very dim while driving, dealer states they can't reproduce. This problem is very distracting while driving. I have made a video on my phone to show them what is happening, the response is...... Yes there is a problem but we can't fix if we cant duplicate?”
NHTSA complaint #10649452, filed 2014-10, 45,000 miles“My new car has a 'vor' lens which results in half the windshield darkened during low beam use. This 'ece' style lighting is totally distracting and I believe dangerous in a dark, rural setting. Motorists are refusing to 'beam down' when approaching since they're uncomfortable with half the windshield dark! Off the main roadway has it's problems when more than half the window becomes very dark, very quickly. Over use of high beams will have unintended consequences. Original sae lighting should be available for retrofit for the north american market.”
NHTSA complaint #10347904, filed 2010-08“The contact owns a 2011 Toyota Camry. The contact stated that while at a stop, the accelerator pedal was applied and the vehicle stalled while entering an intersection. The contact also stated that the ABS and the traction warning lights illuminated. In addition, the vehicle abruptly accelerated when the accelerator pedal was applied with force. After the accelerator pedal was applied to the floorboard, the vehicle resumed normally. The failure occurred intermittently. …”
