Headlights failing or too dim by model year
What owners say
There is no switch in vehicle that turns headlights off and on. Only way to turn off headlights is to shut off engine. This is unsafe because in a dust storm one is suppose to turn headlights off. Also, if consumer shuts down vehicle in very hot weather he will suffer from the heat. Please provide any further information.
Consumer complains that there is limited distance that can be seen due to the design of the headlights, dealer raised lights, however problem is not resolved.
While driving uphill or downhill, even with high beams on, there is visual difficulty which may cause a crash, possibly due to design of headlights. Dealer said headlights met required standards and regulation. *ak the technician adjusted the lights.
Headlights are not even. Driver's side light is too low. Passenger's side light is too high. It's very uneven lighting while driving. Took to dealer & informed by mekchanic there was a safety reason why it was designed that way. Was not corrected. *ak the dealer stated that the drivers side head light is lower than the passenger side to prevent the light from shining on to oncoming drivers. *yh.
While driving at night noticed headlights were uneven. Passenger's side was too high while driver's was low. This interfered with visibility. Took to dealership. Mechanic indicated for safety reason it was made like that. Head light will not shine into oncoming driver's vision.
