| Description of the problem | Greetings - this is to report multiple incidents / a permanent condition of the vehicle headlights being grossly inadequate. The incident indicated here was first of many occurrence while driving on rural roads, especially in inclement weather. Most egregious is that when the high beams are engaged , there is a complete loss of near -field luminance. This is greatly exacerbated in inclement weather and undoubtedly a disaster waiting to happen if it hasn't already. I have driven on the same roads and in the same or worse conditions many times with vehicles i have previously owned with far less problematic visibility. Regular low-beam activity is inadequate as well on unlit or low-lit roads. On may 26th i was in rural area that i have been driving in for 15 years for the first time after dark in this vehicle. The lack of visibility was shocking. The fear of a deer or other animal crossing the vehicle's path unseen was go tremendous concern. This is a widely reported issue on internet forums and a recall should be demanded. |
