Consumer Description

UNABLE TO SEE WITH HIGH OR LOW BEAMS AT NIGHT. PEOPLE FLASH THEIR HIGH BEAMS AT ME MEANWHILE I CAN'T SEE THE ROAD. I HAVE 2 YOUNG CHILDREN AND I'M TERRIFIED DRIVING AT NIGHT REPLACING THE BULBS DOESN'T WORK. ONLY THING I CAN FIND ONLINE SAYS TO REPLACE THE ENTIRE HEADLIGHT BECAUSE THE REFLECTIVE PROPERTIES THAT HEADLIGHTS HAVE WEAR DOWN TO NOTHING AND EVENTUALLY DON'T HAVE THE ABILITY TO REFLECT LIGHT AND ILLUMINATE THE ROADWAY. THAT WAS MY UNDERSTANDING OF THE ISSUE. IT'S OBVIOUS THAT THIS IS A SAFETY HAZARD AND SHOULD BE A RECALL ON THE VEHICLE! HOW MANY PEOPLE HAVE TO COMPLAIN BEFORE THIS HAZARD IS TAKEN MORE SERIOUSLY? DOES SOMEONE HAVE TO DIE IN A CAR ACCIDENT? THIS SEEMS LIKE A BIT MUCH AND A LOT OF PEOPLE BEING IGNORED! I BOUGHT THIS CAR AROUND THE MIDDLE OF FEBRUARY AND THERE HASN'T BEEN ONE NIGHT I'VE BEEN ABLE TO SEE YOU WHILE DRIVING. IF I WENT TO THE DEALERSHIP AT NIGHT TO PURCHASE THE VEHICLE AND HAD SEEN HOW HORRIBLY BAD THE LIGHTS WERE I WOULD HAVE NEVER PURCHASED IT! ACURA DEALERS REALLY NEED TO MAKE THIS RIGHT AND NOT WAIT FOR SOMEONE OR SOMEONE ELSE TO BE SERVERLY INJURED TO DO SOMETHING ABOUT A SERIOUS HAZARDOUS ISSUE IN THEIR VEHICLES!
