This data is from the NHTSA — the US gov't agency tasked with vehicle safety. Complaints are spread across multiple & redundant categories, & are not organized by problem.
So how do you find out what problems are occurring? For this NHTSA complaint data, the only way is to read through the comments below. Any duplicates or errors? It's not us.
About 4 months ago, the passenger side headlamp harness melted, and almost caught fire. I had it replaced, and thought of it as a "one off" type situation. However, recently, the driver side did the same exact thing! upon research, I found that it is happening all over the place to them. I am not an isolated incident. The real danger here is this- what happens if both melt at the same time"?" aside from the danger of fire, the larger, more pressing danger is losing both lights at once. The consumer (driver) would essentially be blind, and in the panic may not think to turn the high beams on. This is a real problem, and if not addressed could have dire consequences. I implore you to research how many headlamp harnesses have been sold (as the only reason to replace would be because of this) and address it before someone loses sight, and crashes. Something so small, would really be a tragedy to have a loss of life over. When the fix is simply using a bigger wire that can handle the amps. Hopefully nobody has been injured yet!
This has been on going from day one my truck has 30900 miles on it and almost 3 years old head lights flicker or dim out for no reason along with the dash lights dealer said it was nothing they could do it was just that type of voltage regulator.
