Example complaints

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

“Passenger side headlight (please see attached photo headlight.jpg ): this actually happened for the first time the day we bought the car, right after we pulled out of your lot. We pulled right back in after circling the block, but after leore turned the engine off and on again everything was fine then. I have not found a way to duplicate this. It seems to happen randomly, but usually within the first minute or so of driving. There always seems to but be a bright flash from which one of the lights does not recover. …”
