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.
Noticed lower brake lights were not working but the center brake light in the window works properly. Checked all fuses and they are fine. Replaced fuses anyways and still no resolution. Replaced brake light switch under dash by brake pedal and still did not correct problem. I think there is a relay that may be bad, but have received no explanation from several automotive experts. All of the brake light bulbs (4 of them) are fine and it would be surprising if all 4 went bad at the same time. All other lights operate properly including taillights, turn signals and reverse lights.
The headlights have always been a problem as far as visibility is concerned. The low beams do not light up distance because of the way it is made. There is bar that cuts the light beam off at the top. When taken back to the dealer they simply adjusted the headlights which was worse because in the fog the lights were now aimed straight out decreasing visibility and making it dangerous.
I smelled smoke when commuting to work. I found a small hole was burnt through the fabric covering the shelf under the rear window. It was caused by the light bulb in the light in the rear window that goes on when you step on the brake. The light gets so hot that it burnt through. I haven't had it fixed yet.
