Consumer Description

THE LOW BEAM HEADLIGHT ARE EXTREMELY DIM OFFERING NO NIGHT TIME VISIBILITY WITHOUT USING THE HIGH BEAM HEADLIGHTS. THE DEALER HAS REPLACED THE BULBS AND ADJUSTED THE LIGHTING AND THERE IS NO IMPROVEMENT. THE CAR HAS 80,000 MILES AND UPON FURTHER RESEARCH THIS IS A VERY COMMON PROBLEM WITH THESE 2015 RDX VEHICLES. THE CAR IS NOT SAFE TO DRIVE AT NIGHT. MY ACURA SERVICE DEPARTMENT ACTUALLY TOLD ME THAT THESE CARS ARE KNOWN FOR HAVING POOR VISIBILITY. THE ISSUE IS ONLY WHEN USING THE LOW BEAM HEADLIGHTS. THIS IS A SAFETY HAZARD AND NEEDS TO E REPAIRED BY ACURA.
