About These NHTSA Complaints:
The NHTSA is the US gov't agency tasked with vehicle safety. Complaints can be spread across multiple & redundant categories, & are not organized by problem. See the Back button — blue bar at the very top of the page — to explore more.
This is a complaint about a particular model car that I do not own, but have driven behind at night. The brake lights on the new, 2007 I think, Honda Accord, are painfully bright. They are so bright, I pulled down the visor to shield my eyes the other night, and my 12 year old child complained because she could not effectively do the same. I have noticed this several times at dark, and have finally remembered to sit down and submit a complaint. This model Honda Accord has led taillights. The taillights are not too bright, when the car is not braking. It is just when the car is braking and the brake lights are on. I have noticed many other cars using led lights, such as Hyundai's and Kia's that do not have this issue. Is there a standard of brightness that lights are measured against? I think these must fail. They are too bright, and should at least be adjusted on unsold cars, and next year's model. Thanks for your consideration.
