THE LOW BEAMS WENT OUT AT NIGHT WHILE DRIVING ON A CITY STREET. THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS BECAUSE THE CITY STREETS ARE DARK AT NIGHT. THIS ENDANGER ME AS A DRIVER AS WELL AS PEDESTRIANS CROSSING THE STREET AT NIGHT.
I HAVE CHROME WHEELS ON MY ENVOY AND THEY HAVE A LOT OF CORROSION ON THEM. I LOOSE A LOT OF AIR EVERY TWO WEEKS. I MEAN I HAVE TO PUT AIR INTO THEM A LOT. I WOULD LIKE TO SEE A RECALL ON THE WHEELS.

1 death reported in complaints filed with NHTSA.
Complaint counts track how many cars were sold and how long they have been on the road as much as they track quality. A common model from 2013 has had a decade to accumulate reports; a rare one from last year has not. The signal worth weighing is in the severity columns, in whether the same component keeps appearing, and in whether the manufacturer eventually opened a recall for it.
Most recent recall on file: none. Source: NHTSA Office of Defects Investigation.
