Example complaints
Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.
“Dt:I brake light will come on . When the brake light comes on the headlights go off/the windshield wipers stop functioning, and air conditioner (A/C) stops. The new dealer could not find cause of the problem, and claimed that it was normal. It was happening quite frequently. Consumer has teenage children, and if this had happened on the interstate,one of my children could have died. If headlights had been turned on, and if I consumer pulled on them high beam would stick and stay on. Consumer would only have high beams. Also, the windshield wipers will come on.”
