THE LIGHT THAT THEY EMIT IS VERY DIM AND DOES NOT LIGHT UP THE ROAD IN FRONT OF YOU. EVEN ON BRIGHT I CAN'T SEE WELL. I FEEL LIKE THIS IS A REAL SAFETY ISSUE THAT NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED.

Counts are a starting point, not a verdict: popular models collect more complaints because more of them are on the road, and NHTSA does not verify individual reports. To see whether a recall is still open on your car, enter your VIN at nhtsa.gov/recalls (U.S.) or your registration at check-vehicle-recalls.service.gov.uk (UK). Had a safety problem? Report it to NHTSA; complaints are what trigger investigations and recalls.
