| Was Vehicle Towed: - | Description of the Complaints: Improper seal on headlights leads to a premature and significant loss of nighttime visibility. i have replaced bulbs but it doesn't help. the problem started when the car was about 4 years old and has gotten progressively worse. the high cost of periodically replacing the entire headlight assembly is impractical as the car ages. i have confirmed this problem with other owners. the car has not been in any accidents. in my opinion, driving this car at night entails a hazard related to the design of the headlights so i avoid doing so whenever possible, but i can't always do so. *la |
