Description of the problem | Exterior headlights are inadequate as the illumination is inadequate and doesn't meet minimum safety standards for a vehicle on country roads. The interior switches are not illuminated and during evening operation making safe adjustments an impossibility. Auto-dim overrides normal safe high beam operation as sensor is activated from any roadside reflective surface while vehicle is in motion. The problem almost manifested in several near accidents. This is a major latent design and equipment defect and is unsafe in nighttime operation. *js the consumer stated that on the computer screen the left side index was masked during the day time.
