My complaint is with headlights on newer cars and trucks. Why do we need them so bright. Why do we need high beams. They just blind all drivers.

Filed Jan 5, 2006 · Lights · CA

Headlights mounted on 2005-6 trucks and SUV's are mounted much too high on the vehicles. They blind oncoming autos and even cause severe eye discomfort through the rear view mirror when said vehicle is stopped behind you in traffic. Everyone I know sayes the same thing. How many accidents will happen before those in charge wake up and change this???????????????????????????

This car has a problem when you are on an incline waiting to proceed. The vehicle starts to rollbackwards. Twice I had this happen to me. The firs time I had my son along with me. I was waiting on an steep incline for traffice to move. When the traffic started to move, I took my foot off the brakes the car started to rollbackward. I had to push hard on the accelarator. Then the wheels started to spin out of control and jerk. Finally it moved forward. The incident happen again when I was on a steep incline. As soon as I removed my foot from the barkes to put it on she accelerator, the car began to move backward and I had to do the same as preivously. The wheels started to spin out of control, the vehicle began to jerk back and forward, thus thrussing my body forward and backward. Finally it decided tomove forward. Luckily, I did not hit the vechicle in ack of me. So to test whether or not it was the vehicle, I went around again to that same spot, making sure there were no other cars behind me. Loand behold it did the same thing. I took the car to the buick dealer in leesburg and told them the eproblem I had. They did the maintenance and stated that they could not dupicate the problem that I was having. After taliking to the salesman he seems to think that it is the computer inside the car for idling needs to be adjusted. Well, I am writing our to look into this more. The salesman aos stated that other people have had the same problem but not one ever reported it. Here is where I come in. I am reporting this incident before someone gets seriously injured.
