Example complaints
Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.
“During the course of normal, everyday driving, the driver's side fog lamp lense obtained a hole. This allows water, among other elements to compromise the integrity of the fog lamp as well as the fog lamp bulb. The Toyota dealership has refused to replace this under the manufaturer's warranty and/or the extended warranty. I am seeking to purchase and replace the fog lamp, myself.”
