Complaint Summary
EXTERIOR LIGHTING
Owner Narrative
THIS VEHICLE, ALONG WITH EXPLORERS AND TRANSIT CONNECTS, HAS DAY RUNNING LIGHTS (DRLS) THAT ARE BRIGHT ENOUGH TO ACT AS HEADLIGHTS. IN ADDITION, THE GAUGE CLUSTER IS ALWAYS ILLUMINATED, WHICH DOESN'T ALERT THE DRIVER TO THE FACT THAT THE TAILLIGHTS ARE OFF, DECREASING NIGHTTIME VISIBILITY. THE OLDER GAUGE CLUSTERS WERE BETTER. THIS IS NOT A SPECIFIC INCIDENT, BUT A DESIGN FLAW.
