What owners wrote

This not a one-time occurrence. The headlight light has a very narrow height. It is literally like a curtain over the road and is constantly moving up and down with the variations in the road. One moment you can see 500 feet ahead and the next you can't see 50 feet (I am not exaggerating). It's not just that the light is dimmer the higher up you look, it hardly exists at all. This car is not drivable at night under any circumstances. It is very dangerous and will cause a wreck.

Reported at 100 miles, October 2011

Tl* the contact owns a 2011 chrysler 200. The contact stated that the low beam headlight reduced significantly while driving approximately 15 MPH. The failure only occurred whenever driving down an incline or making a right turn, which distorted the contact's vision. The vehicle was taken to an authorized dealer numerous times and the headlamps were readjusted each time but the failure persisted. The manufacturer was not notified of the problem. The approximate failure mileage was 62.
