What owners wrote

Headlights do not illuminate the road far enough to allow safe driving. Took vehicle to local dealer and they checked the lights and said they meet manufactures specification. When driving on country road with no other illumination the headlights do not project far enough to see what is ahead. Driving at posted speeds 55 to 60 MPH cannot see what is coming up. Have to use high beam in order to see far enough to be safe. Did an online search and found that this is a common complaint for this model year.
