Description of the problem | This vehicle was in an accident at night due to the "automatic" lighting system either was non operations, not focused in the correct direction or not bright enough. The cruze vehicle was driving south bound to a lighted intersection from a stop sign a block away. The north bound car was at a stop waiting for the light to turn green. Upon turning green and after viewing the opposite lane to yield, the north bound car proceeded to turn left and did not see the cruze until it was already in a turn and later stated that the cruze came out of no where. The cruze was totaled. The witness to the accident, another northbound car, stated that the north bound car was going extremely slow as the light just turned green. It is noted that the 2016 vehicles were recalled for the exact same issue. |
