Description of the problem | This is an update to my earlier report, complaint number: 11065547. The low beam performance is worse than i originally reported. Tonight (feb 2 2018) i took time to look at the range of vision of the low beams. I estimate it at 50 feet. I live on a curved street and as i drove down it, i observed that when the tiguan was pointed at a house, it didn't get illuminated until i was on the property edge. The house has a 35 foot setback from the street and slightly uphill from the front of my tiguan. None of the house was within the range of the headlights. I discussed adjusting the front headlights with my dealership but they didn't know if they were adjustable. I consider this a significant and dangerous situation that needs to be investigated. |
