Example complaints

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

“Bright LED headlights isn't the issue just with my Prius Prime but with almost all new vehicles on the road that I presume have LED lights. The lights are so bright that it bothers the driver of the oncoming vehicle or traffic. I face that issue while driving and can imagine the same with the driver of the oncoming vehicle. There are instances when drivers flash their headlights asking to use low-beam while I am already using the low-beam light setting. …”
