The front headlights go out every few months I've already had to replace lights 3 times in one year.
The contact owns a 2016 Chevrolet Impala. The contact stated that on various occasions while driving at night, the headlights failed to illuminate properly, and the roadway was not adequately illuminated. No warning lights were illuminated. The vehicle was taken to a local dealer, where the failure could not be duplicated, and no repairs were completed. The vehicle was then taken to columbia Chevrolet (9750 montgomery rd, cincinnati, OH 45242) where it was diagnosed that the headlight assemblies needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 10,000.
The hid headlight beam of the 2015 Chevrolet Impala lt is very poor. The beam of light in the low setting provides no illumination to the sides of the road, forward illumination is marginal. I contend that when the 2015 Impala lights are on the high or "bright" setting it is comprabale to the low beam setting in my 2012 Impala. In moderate to heavy weather, rain, sleet, snow the headlights offer no assistance, driver is navigating blind, can not even see the lines on the road. I live and drive primarily in a rural area, along with the weather conditions there are many wildlife hazards. I have experienced several close encounters with wildlife and two impacts, one with a deer causing substantial damage to my car. I simply can not see anything until it is directly in front of the car. It is in my judgement these headlights are unsafe not only for the occupants of the vehicle, but others sharing the roads with the vehicle.
I went out the night of August 28th to celebrate the arrival of my first child. As my friend and I were returning home around 1 am on the 29th of August, I was stopped for driving with no headlights on. I asked the officer how can that be considering I have automatic headlights. He didn't even understand there were autonomous equipment in vehicles today. The police officer applied for a warrant for my blood and drew it without my consent. When I got to the jail, I told them I didn't want to talk to anyone other than my attorney or judge. They took this as sign of having suicidal thoughts. They had two guards ask me for my clothes in exchange for a beach blanket which would only cover the bottom, upper, front, or back side of my body. All this because I had a defective safety device. The officer stated he noticed the car's headlight were off after I was hit with high beams. The sensor turns the lights off when it's hit by a photon and slips into a delay scenario. And doesn't turn them on until the sensors believe it's dark enough. Whatever that is. The state's (texas) law required the light to be on while driving between a certain time frame. I've reported this issue to the manufacturer on two occasions. I'm asking that you include state regulations so that this kind of thing doesn't happen to anyone else. This experience has really shaking my trust with federal government agencies. In following the federal regulations trying to address safety, it seems a law was broken. Am I protected by any federal preemption provisions? I have a hard time understanding why my blood had to be taken when it was the software making the decisions. Are there any safeguards? I am concerned with who else this will effect.
Extremely disappointed and shocked while driving at night for the first time on a country road in this vehicle. The projector beam halogens utterly fail to illuminate the roadway in a manner any competent driver would consider to be adequate or most importantly safe! dealer of course says this is "factory" and considered normal. I have concluded that this headlight design is adequate for most urban (semi lighted) highway but necessarily dangerous for rural drivers. I will be on the lookout for a newly designed headlamp offering from gm. My fix is to intentionally aim the (low beams) extremely low and just use the (high beams) full time which at least allows all the available light to be utilized with no ill affect to oncoming drivers since the beam is so dim! OH, also it seems there are no provisions (adjustability) that I can see for side to side aiming?.
