| Description of the problem | I purchased this car in march 2013. I live in a very rural area with no street lights, etc. It is pitch black at night. Believe it or not, i have not driven this car after dark until just recently. When driving i could hardly see much in front of me at all. The low beams are most inadequate and the high beams are useless. The road if front of the car was barely lit up at all. It was a very scary situation, has never happened with any other car i have owned. I went around a curve and almost drove off the road. And it was a clear night, no rain, fog etc. I paid over $30,000. 00 for this car and am afraid to drive it at night!! As safety conscious as honda is, i cannot believe that this situation is acceptable to them. It certainly isn't for me. Please, can you tell me if there is a solution to this problem ( changing bulbs, etc). I would appreciate any feedback to help resolve this dangerous situation. There really should be a recall for this safety issue. This is a terrible accident waiting to happen. |
