Consumer Description

WE PURCHASED THIS VEHICLE USED LAST NOVEMBER. THE FACTORY WINDSHIELD IS NEARLY IMPOSSIBLE TO SEE THROUGH AT NIGHT, AND IF WE'RE DRIVING IN THE RAIN AT NIGHT, WHAT LITTLE VISIBILITY THERE IS. IS LIMITED TO LESS THAN 50 FEET. THE CHRYSLER DEALERSHIP IN COOS BAY, OREGON SAYS THAT IT'S A FACTORY-INSTALLED WINDSHIELD AND DECLINES TO TAKE ANY FURTHER RESPONSIBILITY. THE LOW-BEAM HEADLIGHTS ARE EXTREMELY DIM. SAFE DRIVING AT NIGHT REQUIRES OUR USING THE HIGH BEAMS (WHEN SAFE FOR ONCOMING DRIVERS -- NOT A GOOD MIX.) THE CHRYSLER DEALER IN COOS BAY, OREGON INVESTIGATED THE HEADLIGHTS WITH A VISUAL CHECK, AND SAID THEY'RE "OKAY."
