NHTSA Complaint #10629235 — 2014 HONDA ACCORD

JUST PURCHASED MY 2014 HONDA ACCORD LX. I LIVE IN A RURAL AREA WITH MANY SMALL HILLS. WHILE DRIVING HOME I NOTICED THE LOW BEAM HEADLIGHTS SEEM TO BE OUT OF FOCUS, NOT ILLUMINATING OBJECTS ON THE SIDE OF THE ROAD WITHIN 25 FEET FROM THE VEHICLE, NOR CAN YOU SEE STREET SIGNS WITHIN THAT DISTANCE. WORSE, WHEN GOING UP AND DOWN THE SMALL HILLS THE ROADWAY VISIBILITY CHANGES RAPIDLY DEPENDING ON THE ANGLE OF THE CAR, OFTEN DROPPING THE VISIBILITY TO A SCARY 10-50 FEET AT 55 MPH. YES, YOU CAN USE YOU HIGH BEAMS TO HELP "IF CONDITIONS PERMIT". NEVERTHELESS, WHEN THIS HAPPENS IT IS VERY UNNERVING AND UNDOUBTEDLY UNSAFE! I DID NOTIFY HONDA AMERICA AND OPEN A CASE #N012014-08-2801669, HOWEVER, I WAS INFORMED THAT NOTHING COULD BE DONE, AS THAT WAS THE DESIGN OF THE HEADLIGHTS. THIS IS VERY UNSAFE AND NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED QUICKLY!!!! *TR
