| Description of the problem | The low beam lights do not provide enough lighting at night. It is very hard to see without using the high beams. I have replaced the bulbs and even the high intensity bulbs do not improve the lighting enough to be safe to drive at night. I see a lot of online complaints but no recall. I called the dealer and they are saying they are not aware of any issue and want to charge 128$ to diagnose the problem that i know is a inferior headlight design. I have even been following friends in other vehicles and they mention that the headlights are very dim. |
