Consumer Description

WHILE DRIVING ON AN UNLIT 2 LANE ROAD I EXPERIENCED ( THE FIRST OF SEVERAL INSTANCES) THE MOST DANGEROUS AUTOMOBILE LIGHTING CONDITIONS OF MY 50 YEARS OF DRIVING. TRUST ME THIS IS SCARY! THE HEADLIGHTS HAVE A SHUTTER SYSTEM FOR NORMAL AND BRIGHT HEADLIGHT CONTROL THAT IS SO BAD I FELT THE NEED TO PULL OFF OF THE ROAD TO CONSIDER CONTINUING MY TRAVEL. WHEN THE HEADLIGHTS ARE SET TO DIM IT IS LIKE DRIVING IN A DARK TUNNEL WITH VISIBILITY OF ONLY THE IMMEDIATE 20 FEET IN FRONT OF THE CAR WITH NO VISIBILITY AT ALL OF ANYTHING TO THE SIDE. NOTHING CAN BE SEEN ABOVE ABOUT 5 FEET OF THE ROAD. WHEN ONE ENCOUNTERS A TURN IN THE ROAD THE DRIVER IS UNABLE TO SEE BEYOND THE CURVE. I BEG YOU TO INVESTIGATE THIS PROBLEM AND FORCE CHRYSLER TO REPLACE THE SHUTTER SYSTEM BEFORE SOMEONE IS KILLED. PLEASE SEND SOMEONE FROM YOUR ORGANIZATION OUT TO DRIVE ONE OF THESE AUTOMOBILES ON A DARK NIGHT ON A ROAD WITH NO STREET LIGHTS. I DARE THEM TO DO IT MORE THEN ONCE. THANK YOU. *TR
