Example complaints
Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.
“Constantly receiving message, ' adaptive front lighting system.' after research I noticed that this is a recall issue on other models of the same year and I feel that this is connected being that it's the same message received as the other models. Vehicle is stationary and I receive the message every time I start the car. Just purchased car and picked up from dealer saturday evening so I can only state when I first noticed the message myself and not when it actually first appeared.”
