About These NHTSA Complaints:
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.
The daytime running lights turn on mysteriously at night while the car is turned off. Symptoms included a dead battery after not driving the car for three days, and the dashboard panel lights turning off whenever the turn signal is used. Dealership denied there was a problem.
The auto headlight system that turns the headlights on and off does not function properly. It turns the headlights on at all times of the day, more often on bright sunny days when driving through shadows. This make it very difficult to read guages, speedometer etc.
