McLaren Problems

The main headlights on the McLaren MP4-12C are susceptible to condensation, and mold that cannot be cleared as it is internal. This is caused by a faulty seal, or glue, holding the top clear glass, to the plastic molding which allows condensation to happen, causing the mold. Almost all McLaren MP4-12C's have the moldy headlights, reducing visibility and creating a hazard for the driver, as well as incoming traffic, as the light pattern is no longer uniform making it hard to see at night. The only solution is to replace the headlights with new ones costing more than $4,000

I have received two recall letters in the past ten months telling me that the passenger airbag in my car may explode with 'shards of shrapnel injuring or killing the passenger'.when I ask my dealer to fix this recall I am told that they do not have the parts

The baffle in the turbo inlet came loose casing the baffle to launch into the turbo chopping it up and shooting it into the engine. This is a common occurrence known by the dealer and manufacturer and could lead to engine failure and fire if the parts reach and melt into the catalytic converter

McLaren automotive has a known suspension accumulator problem on earlier year 720s models. This is a major safety concern as the suspension is a huge safety component in all vehicles. They have a revised updated part to fix this, but it has not yet issued a recall to have the manufacture responsible for fixing this , not the consumer. This should have been a recall for long time now but since they are low productions that's why it probably hasn't been issued yet since the updated part is newly released, but they do have a fix to this, but it comes at the cost of the consumer as of now until a recall is issued. Since this is a safety concern I think the nhtsa should be aware of this issue and do something about this safety concern and have the manufacture issue the recall as soon as possible.
