“Low beam and high beams. This has got to be the worst vehicle I have every had, with regards to its headlights and my and my family's safety driving at night. The range of light is so inadequate when driving at night that I am almost fearful for myself and family. I live in a rural midwest area where deer a prevelant, and am so cautious and fearful driving at night in my new car. I do love almost ll other things about the Golf Alltrack, but do hope the NHTSA can step in an make vw change out the headlights before consumer's are killed from not being able o se at night.”
