Description of the problem | "takata recall" while driving at night the headlights starting to be dim. I thought it was my eye site at first. Last friday march 1, 2019 my husband was with me driving in rising sun maryland and it got real scary as we were driving and they went almost totally dark. I slowed to a crawl and hit my high beams just a second before i hit the oncoming car from the other direction. I was already across the line and going to hit the car. My high beams blinded the car coming toward me and they were screaming at me. It was like driving on a back road in a snow storm with no visibility. My husband would not let me drive back from dinner after being so upset. He drove and had to use the high beams, he said i have to tell you that was a very scary situation. When we parked for dinner the headlights turned a cloudy rainbow color. We had the light bulbs replaced and there is no difference. The dealer wants $1,000 to replace the headlight assembly to fix the problem. This car is in excellent condition , why should i have to pay $1,000 to replace this. I have seen the complaint sites and there seems to be a lot of people having this issue. This is not safe and you can not drive at night unless you want to take your life in your hands or the life of others when you have to drive with high beams. People are not happy when you do that and that could cause road rage issues. This car is not safe at night, please consider doing something about this. I will not put my grandkids in this car as i am too scared. |
