| Description of the problem | My concern is the dead zone created by the head lights on my car. The projection of the headlights on my car are extremely dangerous due to the dead zone in front of the vehicle. The headlights have been adjusted multiple times and the dealer response is" that is just the way these new headlights are". On dark roads it is highly probable that an accident may occur because you cannot see where you are going and if there is a slight curve to the road it is impossible to tell which way the road is going. On my last trip at night we had 3 occasions that if we had not flashed the high beams we most certainly would have a wreck. |
