Brightening or dimming the headlights causes an intermittent bright flash to the interior lights. This could be potentially dangerous seeing as you have no acceleration, which could cause very extensive damage to person and property. The intermittent bright flash could be a result of an unregulated power surge, which could cause damage to person and property.

2/10/20 my right low beam headlight keeps blowing out. We have replaced the light 3 times in less than a week. Our mechanic suggested that I report this problem to the federal safety agency to see if there is a recall on this problem. My light is out again!!! This is a serious safety problem. Cannot see the right side of the road unless I use my high beams.

The headlights are directed downward such that they do not sufficiently illuminate the roadway. Exceeding speeds of approximately 35 MPH at night on a level surface requires over-driving the headlights; high beams must be used at all times at greater speeds to drive safely. The company refers me to the dealership and vice versa; while they each acknowledge that this is a common problem, neither is willing to take steps to rectify the issue.
