Component | EXTERIOR LIGHTING |
Product type code | VEHICLE |
Description of the problem | The headlights on this vehicle are terrible. They barely illuminate the road in front of me. I find it unsafe to drive at night. On city streets at night the problem isn't as apparent, but when i'm traveling on the interstate or any other road without street lighting, if i'm approached by an oncoming vehicle it's as if i don't even have my headlights on. Side lighting is also an issue when turning at night as its nearly blind. It's a vehicle i really enjoy, but i'm considering selling because i find it completely unsafe for night driving. |
