 Description of the problemThe 1st time i drove this car at the visibility range of low beam headlights was horrible. What a difference from my 2007 buick lucerne! I avoided night driving because of it. Then in march of this year i saw a report online and on national news about the safety of 30 new cars and their headlight rating by the insurance institue go highway safety. My car, a 2016 buick verano was listed in the top 3 worst cars tested. The news report suggested driving with high beams which is illegal. Last week car was serviced for 1st time with only 3800 miles. I brought my concerns about lights to attention of service manager and he seemed offended or put off by my concerns. I told him i wanted documentation of my concerns because when accidents start happening because of these poor lights i wanted to be part of a class action lawsuit against gm if they are found at fault. He told me they were able to raise the line of sight about 6 inches. That night i tested the light. No noticeable changes. I guess i will have to drive with my high beams on and risk a ticket. Great car otherwise but very disappointed in headlights.
