| Description of the problem | The headlights have always been a problem as far as visibility is concerned. The low beams do not light up distance because of the way it is made. There is bar that cuts the light beam off at the top. When taken back to the dealer they simply adjusted the headlights which was worse because in the fog the lights were now aimed straight out decreasing visibility and making it dangerous. |
