Consumer Description

I AM CONCERNED THAT THE HEADLIGHT GLARE FROM MY 2018 MAZDA CX-5 MANUFACTURED IN NOVEMBER 2107 IS EXCESSIVE FOR ONCOMING VEHICLES. I FREQUENTLY HAVE ONCOMING CARS FLASH THEIR LIGHTS AT ME WHEN DRIVING ON 2 LANE ROADS AT NIGHT. MY VEHICLE HAS THE TECH PACKAGE, WHICH INCLUDES ADAPTIVE LED HEADLIGHTS THAT ARE SUPPOSED TO BE SELF LEVELING. THE IIHS TESTING OF HEADLIGHTS OF THE 2017 - 2018 MAZDA CHANGED IN MARCH 2018 FROM ACCEPTABLE TO GOOD.
