I cannot narrow this down to a specific vehicle, because it is so widespread, but over the weekend, i barely escaped what would have been a head-on collision with a vehicle on a 2-lane road that had crossed over the center lane unbeknownst to me.i was not able to see this vehicle due to severely degraded plastic in the headlight lens, which i have seen on more vehicles than this.i am concerned that carmakers are cutting costs and sacrificing safety by making such a crucial part of the safety equipment made out of plastic.please consider requiring the use of glass for headlight lenses in the usa.
This not about any special make of car. It is a complaint on the new projection headlights. These have a great tendency to blind oncoming drivers as the car bounces on uneven road way (which is 90% of al roads.) they need to be made illegal on all vechicles
The contact owns a 2010 piaggio gts300 scooter. While driving approximately 20 mph, the vehicle suddenly stalled. The vehicle was towed to the contacts home.

The approximate failure mileage was 400.
So, i wanted to buy a small, efficient 4x4; something that would do ok in the snow, but wouldn't use too much gas, and i wanted one for less than $15k new. So, after coming back for a trip to italy, i discovered that if i wanted to import a fiat panda (which best fit my needs), i'd have to find a registered importer. Or become an importer myself. And pay a bond equal to 1.5 times the price of the vehicle.this is clearly suboptimal. The eurozone and japan both have first-rate safety and environmental regimes; why must a personal import of foreign cars begin with the assumption that whatever safety or emissions regulations the vehicle was originally designed to meet were inadequate, especially in light of the huge numbers of older and/or poorly maintained vehicles still on the road, but exempt from scrutiny because they were *sold here originally*.this seems to exist only to frustrate the informed consumer. I hope my government can do better.

Letter from jerry shipman (ok) regarding nhtsa's early warning reporting (ewr) regulations. Mr shipman opposed the issuance of quarterly early warningreport regulations because it would put manufacturer's of small-to-medium trailers out of business, s10-0303(brebber ssgn).
Fax letter from sean johnson manager calico trailer manufacturing inc. (ak) opposing regulations to submit quarterly informational reports, early warning reports (ewr) dot 2003-4246. Mr johnson claims that the new regulations ar unfair to small-to-medium size trailer companies, under 26000 lbs, and should be rescinded or radically changed, otherwise it could put him and many of his colleagues out of business. Nhtsa's new rules require all large manufacturers of motor vehicles (a tractorwas included in large motor vehicles), starting april 1, 2003,to compile quarterly informational reports called early warning reports(ewr) containing complex dataabout vehicle's accidents, safety related defects, and customer' service complaints. Because johnson's company produces more than 500 trailers annually it was lumped together with ford, gmc and freuhauf bound by tread act. Also, according to nhtsa's own estimates, johnson will be forced to spent $225000within the next few months to meet nhtsa's requirements. Afterwards, $145000annually to comply. Also, those trailer companies under 26000 lbs are rarely involved in serious accidents or have serious safety related defects. *nlm

Mr priesgan's company manufacturs small-to-medium size trailers, less than 26000 lbs gross vehicle weight.nhtsa'sewr regulationsif not rescinded or substantially modified would put priesgen and many of his colleaguesout of business.

Because mr. Priesgan company produces over 500 trailers he is lumped with giants such as ford, gmc and freudhheun who are bound under tread act.according to nhtsa's own estimates, mr priesgenwill be forced to spent $225000 within nextseveral months to comply with the requirements.then, another $14100this yearand thereafter to comply with ewr requirements. Mr priesgen insists that neither he or his colleaguescould meet those fiscal requirements. Furthermore, trailer industry is very rarely involved in major accidents or defect issues as specified by the ewr requirements. *nlm
