Example complaints
Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.
“While driving on rural roads with no street lights, the automatic high beam system malfunctions when passing oncoming traffic who do not dim their headlights or who have those headlights that should be illegal (like ford). Normal low-beam headlights do not cause the system to malfunction. I believe this malfunction to be related to the camera sensor located on the windshield and when the glare of the excessively bright headlights hit that sensor, it crashes the auto system. …”
