Example complaints
Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.
“The low beam headlights do not adequately light up the road ahead. You can barely see anything on the road in front of the car. I must use the high beams if I wish to see the road ahead of me. I have heard that this is a problem with many expeditions. This occurs when the car is in motion. It occurs whether the car is on the highway or city street.”
