Example complaints
Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.
“The contact owns a 2009 Toyota Yaris. The day running lights on the vehicle are extremely bright. When driving at night, it appears that your standard head lights are lit; instead, the day runnings lights remain illuminated. When this occurs, the standard head lights and the rear lights are in the off position which nearly resulted in several collisions. The dealer inspected the vehicle and confirmed that the front head lights are extremely bright and there were no after market products available per the manufacturer to correct the failure. The contact will also speak with the manufacturer. …”
