Example complaints
Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.
“When the vehicle is in motion when dark outside auto high beams do not function properly. When passing a oncoming car with brighter than normal headlights the auto high beams disengage and will not turn on for a varying amount of time. This happens both on city streets, highway, and country roads. This is a safety issue due to the fact of an increased risk of collision due too reduced visibility. It also enhances the risk of collision with animals at night especially when driving on secluded country roads. …”
