Description of the problem | This vehicle is not safe to drive at night. With low beams on the distance the road is illuminated varies drastically, at times the illumination is only a few feet with not side illumination at all. Even in the best of conditions the illumination is insufficient to make driving at night safe. Also there is a distracting dark curtain moving up and down the windshield as you go up and down hills. Traveling hilly roads is where the condition is at its worst. This phenomena has been verified by the ford dealership i purchased the vehicle from, but there seems to be no solution the the issue. This vehicle needs to be recalled, i do not drive the vehicle at night, too dangerous. |
