Owner complaintsComplaints are reports submitted to NHTSA by owners and drivers. NHTSA does not verify most reports before publishing them, and a complaint does not establish that a defect exists. Volume is influenced by how many of a vehicle were sold, how long it has been on the road, and how much attention an issue has received.

WHILE DRIVING AT NIGHT I SUDDENLY LOST MY HEADLIGHTS. UPON CLOSER EXAMINATION THE 20 AMP HEADLIGHT CIRCUIT IS FED DIRECTLY INTO AN SM209 CONTROLLER THROUGH LIGHT GAUGE WIRING (20 AMPS REQUIRES THE USE OF 12 GA.) VIA A FLIMSY LIGHT DUTY ELECTRICAL CONNECTOR AT POSITION J12. THIS CONNECTION FRIED AT THE CONNECTOR DAMAGING THE CONTROLLER AND DIRECTLY CAUSING THE HEADLIGHTS TO FAIL. AFTER REVIEWING SEVERAL BLOGS I SEE THIS IS A VERY COMMON PROBLEM. HAVING DRIVEN DOWN SEVERAL PITCH-BLACK STRETCHES OF HIGHWAY AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS I COULD HAVE FLOWN OFF THE HIGHWAY WITH NO VISIBILITY. THIS IS A POTENTIALLY SERIOUS PROBLEM. *JS

Higher-selling and older vehicles accumulate more reports. Counts are not failure rates and are not directly comparable between vehicles that sold in very different numbers.
