| Description of the problem | My daughter drives this vehicle, she had been complaining about the headlights for more than a year. I replaced the bulbs in july of 18, but had not driven it at night. I drove it this past weekend, and was absolutely shocked and horrified. Extremely poor low beam headlighting. Literally can not see 100 ft in front of vehicle at night. Can not driver at safe speeds due to poor lighting. We have to use bright lights when driving at night to see the road. Have replaced bulbs 2x, same results each time. Very dangerous. Recall needed |
