| Description of the problem | Discovered the inadequately poor low-beam illumination level in 2017 when i had to replace the drivers-side headlamp. Noticed the beam did not light up on my shirt when standing in front of the car. The passenger side lamp did. Not greatly, but there was a beam on my shirt. Replaced the low-beam lamp again and did both sides and the problem with poor illumination continued on the drivers side. At this point my 2014 model was out of warranty and i had started using my high-beam lights at night and lived with it. Then discovered my car was not the only one and decided to submit this nhtsa complaint. |
