Complaints on fileComplaints 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.

THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 150,000 AND CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 156,560.

IT IS HARD TO READ THE SPEED ON THE SPEEDOMETER GAUGE, ESPECIALLY IN ARIZONA WHERE IT IS REQUIRED TO WEAR SUN GLASSES. NUMBERS ARE TOO SMALL, AND THE COLOR IS BETTER TO BE SEEN AT NIGHT THAN IN THE DAY TIME. CONSUMER HAS TO FOCUS ON THE NUMBERS TO SEE THEM. *AK
