Headlights are not bright enough, driver can only see about 20-25 feet in front even with high beams on, causing poor visibility.

Headlights do not provide adequate illumination under normal or adverse driving conditions.

Filed Aug 27, 1997 · Airbags · AL · crash

While driving at 40mph the vehicle had a frontal impact on the passenger's side of the vehicle, hitting the left side of the other vehicle, and the defective airbag system did not deploy which did not protect the occupants in the accident. Sensors are located behind the headlight.
