36 Headlights problem of the 2005 Acura RL

Failure Date: 11/12/2005

The headlights on my car pose serious safety problems on unlit roads. The lights only shine 50-70 feet out on the street. When there are no street lights, I can not see more than 50 feet and I must travel at slow speeds due to extremely poor visibility. The navigation system identifies an upcoming turn, but I can't see the street or street sign. At speeds over 20 mph; I feel this is very unsafe. The dealer said this is normal and within specification. The headlights are terrible!.

I feel that a mistake has been made on your part that will result in unnecessary single vehicle accidents on the nations highways.

41 Headlights problem of the 2005 Acura RL

Failure Date: 04/05/2004

Our 2006 Acura Rl has a flickering front driver's side headlight that goes on and off over any bump in the road. The car is dangerous to drive at night. We just took the car to a dealer and it cost over $300 to replace the light bulb! they even had to remove the bumper to change the bulb. We will never buy another Acura again, $50,000 lemon.
