Consumer Description

THIS MODEL HAS A SUBSTANTIAL HEADLIGHT PROJECTION ISSUE. THE HEADLIGHTS (LOW BEAM) DO NOT PROJECT FAR ENOUGH TO ALLOW THE DRIVER TO MAINTAIN POSTED SPEED LIMITS. IN AREAS WHERE THERE IS NO STREET LIGHTING OR WHEN DRIVING IN RURAL OR UNFAMILIAR AREAS THIS IS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS AND YOU FIND YOU HAVE TO SLOW DOWN TO A CRAWL OR USE HIGH BEAMS - BOTH AN ISSUE WHEN OTHER CARS ARE PRESENT. I HAVE HAD OTHER PEOPLE DRIVE MY CAR TO VERIFY AND THE FIRST THING THEY SAY IS THAT IT'S DANGEROUS AND THEY WOULD NOT DRIVE THIS CAR AT NIGHT AND THEY WERE VERY UNCOMFORTABLE WITH THE WAY THE HEADLIGHTS PROJECTED TO THE POINT THEY THOUGHT THE LIGHTS WERE NOT FULLY ON. HAVE SEEN THIS ISSUE FROM OTHER OWNER BLOG ENTRIES. *TR
