Description of the problem | 2014 gmc acadia headlights do not shine out far enough to see the road ahead or to each side when turning. I feel like i have a dark hood over the top part of my eyes and this hood "bounces" as you travel--very distracting, irritating, and unsafe. When driving at night, i always have my fog lights on, but even that does not help much. When driving on a hilly, curvy road, it is impossible to see the road ahead & sides--scares the heck out of me! I love this acadia, but refuse to drive it on a trip when i know i will be driving at night and would be scared to death if it would rain at night--so we take our other vehicle on most trips. I have found other complaints about the acadia headlights for the 2013 and 2015 models. Also found many complaints about the 2014 gmc sierra 1500 pickups that sound just like my concerns. I have complained to our local dealership a couple times and will continue to do so. Surely gmc will wake up and realize that these headlights create dangerous nighttime driving conditions. This is a safety issue that needs to be addressed! |
