Example complaints

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

“I presently own a 2006 Toyota Corolla and a 2008 subaru outback . I noticed that on both vehicles when I start the engines the dash light come on which is fine but if one gets out and walks around the vehicle one sees the front driving lights are on but there are no lights on the rear of the vehicle. I mention this because I live in north of seattle and the weather is inclement many days of the year. …”
