“I was driving our 2009 Jeep Commander on the highway at night. The lights were on dim, and they adjusted down which gave only about 20 feet of visibility to the road. There was no car approaching, and the auto adjusting feature was not even turned on. I was driving 55 miles an hour when this happened. I found out that the vehicle is equipped with a self adjusting light system when using the brights. However, I was not using the brights, but had on the dim lights. The lights adjusted to the point that I could not see the road. …”
