This is a long term rental truck, 2024 Isuzu FTR, and not owned by me. The headlights are too bright. Other drivers flash me thinking I have the brights on but they are the regular headlights. My wife was driving in front of me in a car and almost crashed because she said my headlights are too bright and blinded her. The dealer said they are aimed correct and are just bright. The truck is brand new and never been in an accident.

THE VEHICLES STEERING IS EXTREMELY LOOSE, IT SWIMS IN THE LANE WHEN OPERATING ON A HIGHWAY AT SPEEDS ABOVE 45 MPH WHICH IS DANGEROUS. WE TOOK THE TRUCK TO THE DEALER AND HAD ALL THE WHEELS ALIGNED AND BALANCED, BUT IT DID NOT HELP. I HOLD MY CDL-A AND HAVE DRIVEN A VARIETY OF TRUCKS, THIS IS NOT GOOD.

Emerging complaint spikes

Complete months in the latest six months with at least 10 complaints, at least twice the preceding 12-month average, and at least three square-root deviations above that average.

This is a descriptive screening rule, not a statistical defect finding. Publicity and reporting changes can increase submissions.

No complete months meet the spike thresholds for this selection.

Equal-age model-year comparison

Model-wide cumulative reports during the first three or five calendar years, starting with the model year (age 0). Only fully elapsed windows are compared.
