My headlights are too low. Hard for me to see. Especially when going around a corner, I can't see far enough ahead. Afraid of wrecking. I tried cleaning the outside headlights thinking they may have a film on them, but it didn't help. If their are no reflective markers on the road it is very hard to see the white line.

Directionals work when they want to. Head gasket is gone. Eats up oil. Dealer won't trade it in for another car. Headlights pulsate. Engine dies out
Drivers side headlight assembly broke from inside of the hood, causing light to jump around while going down the road. Head light is so loose it will fall out and dealership represenative said it is my responsiblility to fix. 214.00 plus labor and tax. I do not feel that a headlight assemble should crack unless there has been an accident. If the headlight does short out or fall of this could cause failure of lights while traveling atvery dangerous. I am very concered since this our car that my daughter has to drive back and forth to college. I do not understand why a dealership would not be concered for the safety of their consumers.
Transmission malfunctioned. In addition, premature wear of front brake pads/rotors/headlights failed/electrical short due to severed wires/winshield washer bottle had hole in it and installed horn.
