| Description of the problem | The low beams on this vehicle are so low i have to use my high beams 100% of the time when it is dark. I drive a minimum of 50 miles a day just to and from work and depending on the season it is dark both ways. This is a danger to myself and other drivers who get really mad ( and definitely let me know it ). On coming drivers flash their lights at me and cars that i follow even slow down so much that i have to pass them just so they can tailgate me with their high beams on. It's scary !! I live in a very rural area with high deer traffic and minimal street lights. We have tried replacing light bulbs several times to no avail. From what i am reading, lots of other people have complained about this issue as well. The fix is not cheap but we will have to dish out the money to do it before i get pulled over and ticketed or worse, get in accident causing injury or death to someone including myself. |
