Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.
“As soon as I bought this new car I was driving it at night with my dim head lights on and I could not see very far ahead of me unless I put my bright lights on, so this needs to be fixed or an accident can occur very easily !!!!”

I avoided night driving because of it. Then in march of this year I saw a report online and on national news about the safety of 30 new cars and their headlight rating by the insurance institue go highway safety. My car, a 2016 Buick Verano was listed in the top 3 worst cars tested. The news report suggested driving with high beams which is illegal. Last week car was serviced for 1st time with only 3800 miles. …”
