| Description of the problem | The exterior lighting on the vehicle provided is significantly inferior in intensity and distance illuminated. It is very hard to see an object after few feet and night driving becomes extremely dangerous. At night it is unsafe to drive this vehicle, without being able to see the passing cars or people and following is the report from iihs on the illumination results, which were tested to be poor. Http://www. Iihs. Org/iihs/ratings/vehicle/v/mercedes-benz/gle-class-4-door-suv/2018 i contacted the mb usa office and the informed me this is as per design and there is nothing they can do. I sincerely recommend nhtsa to look into this issue and conduct some investigation into it. This will prevent any fatality or serious crash. |
