| Description of the problem | 100% of night time driving especially on country roads that are hilly we lose effective headlight performance (when going up a hill the headlights only project about 40 to 50 feet). This problem seems to be typical of the avalon limited from others having the same problem. We are scared to drive the car at night since going 55 mph we are covering 80 plus feet per second. *jb |
