Lighting complaints
Suddenly my gears began shifting into neutral, park, reverse and into !St and 2nd gear without locking into any of them. No matter what the shifter moves freely. My car only moves forward no matter which gear it's in, including reverse. I put it into park and it still keeps moving forward. In order to park and stop, I have to use my emergency brake and turn the car off. I do not know the cause (unknown) it just suddenly happened on a toll road at the pay station. Also, my internal lights do not come on when I open any door, including the trunk lights. My radio does not change stations and knob does nothing, reception is poor & comes and goes. I cannot get any am stations.
Suv behind us at a light with highly irritating bright lights that even our special rear view mirror didn't reduce very much. These lights are unnecessary and all our passengers complained bitterly that those lights should be outlawed.*Ak
The new blue lights in new cars create blindness when approaching at night. Even from behind in rear view mirror they create blinding distraction.
All xenon headlights should be banned. They blind oncoming drivers !!!
Complaining of the new bright headlights on some cars. I had one behind me at night and it really was hard for me to see because of the brillance in my rear view and side mirror. *Ak
