Sample Complaint Reports

"WHILE DRIVING THE VEHICLE, THE REAR PASSENGERS STARTED TO COUGH, THE CONSUMER TURNED AROUND AND NOTICED SMOKE FILLING THE CAB OF THE VEHICLE. WITHIN SECONDS, THE VEHICLE CAUGHT FIRE AND WAS TOTALED. *AK *SCC *JB"
"RUNNING LIGHTS WAY TOO BRIGHT ON THE BACK OF A NEW LAND ROVER."
"THE REMOTE KEY FOR THE VEHICLE WORKS INTERMITTENTLY WITH A MIND OF ITS OWN. SOMETIMES IT WORKS, SOMETIMES IT DOESN'T. THIS MEANS THAT THE VEHICLE SOMETIMES REMAINS UNLOCKED UNKNOWINGLY AND GREATLY DELAYS UNLOCKING THE VEHICLE AND GAINING ENTRANCE TO THE CAR. *JB"
