The headlights on my Impala have some sort of discoloration inside the headlight assembly it's beginning to block the amount of lumens coming through for my lights to see.

8 Headlights problem

Failure Date: 11/23/2015

The headlights on this model do not provide enough coverage for night driving. The beam does not spread to see the side of the roads or project far enough ahead to give you enough visibility at higher speeds. The dealer says they meet government standards. I don't drive this car at night because of this issue. It is hard to do in the winter when it gets dark so early in the evening.

9 Headlights problem

Failure Date: 09/15/2015

Poor headlighting. Foggy lense due to defective lense material fogging from the heat on the inside of the lense, poor light color, too small head lights. Very hard to see properly, especially if there is a slight mist or rain. There is not enough lighting, the color makes every thing shiny. Hard to see the lines in the road and road edges. Poorest car lighting I have ever owned. The dealer says there is nothing they can do to improve the head lights.

I was tuning left from a road to a unlit road that was totally black when looking out the left side window to turn when I turned I was headed for the woods luckily I wasn't going fast so I could back up to turn to the road there should be a recall to fix this problem before there are some accident's because of these headlights there could be a person crossing a street that you won' see on a dark street turn.

14 Headlights problem

Failure Date: 11/10/2014

The contact owns a 2014 Chevrolet Impala. The contact stated that the headlight beam, both on high and low beams, are very narrowly focused so that the area immediately to the front and side of the vehicle and objects located there cannot be seen making driving at night on anything other than straight highways an unnerving experience. The contact believes it represents a serious safety risk both to the vehicle occupants and to pedestrians who might be outside the headlights' narrow focal range. The dealer stated they had no complaints. The manufacturer was made aware of the issue. The contact had not experienced a failure.

15 Headlights problem

Failure Date: 07/07/2014

The problem that I have with my 2014 Impala is that the headlights do not illuminate the road very well. The light beam is narrow projecting straight out in front of the car. Very little illumination to the sides of the road. This complaint may sound trivial but let me assure you that I'm not chevy bashing. This Impala is a beautiful car, I love it except for the headlights. This is a real problem for me. If I had taken a test drive at night I would not have purchased this car. Hard to test drive at night in July. I expected much better lighting on a car like this. A halogen bulb in a well designed and poisoned fixture works great.

16 Headlights problem

Failure Date: 05/09/2014

The contact owns a 2014 Chevrolet Impala. While driving various speeds, the brakes locked up. The contact stated that the engine blew out, which also caused the catalytic converter to fail. The contact stated that the dealer could not determine why the vehicle overheated. When the vehicle overheated, the contact became locked inside the vehicle until it cooled down. In addition, the high beam headlights were very dim and dimmer than the daytime running lights. The vehicle was taken to the dealer where it was diagnosed that the vehicle was designed in that manner. The vehicle was repaired several times for the failures, but the remedies failed to repair the vehicle. The manufacturer was notified of the failures. The approximate failure mileage was 54.

Hard to test drive at night in July. I expected much better lighting on a car like this. A halogen bulb in a well designed and poisoned fixture works great. I copied the above from a prior complaint. I really like the car and the new design. I was looking on the internet to see if I could upgrade the headlights( better bulb or something else) because I too thought that the lumination of the headlights was sub par. I found this complaint site and wanted to state my dissatisfaction also. Thanks.
