The headlights on the 2014 Ford Explorer do not aluminate the road while driving at night. Even with the fog lights not, you can barely see over the hood of the vehicle. This has been concerning me for awhile, so I had the vehicle checked. Everything is in perfect condition. Its the car / design. I have also see other customers with this complaint online as well. This vehicle is not safe to drive in the dark.

The first time I took my new vehicle out at night I struggled seeing the road even with the fog lights on. When you look out over the hood there is a black line at hood height and the light appears above the black line. So there is not much light hitting the road. When making a turn the headlights do not follow the road on the turn as they appear off in the distance and not down on the road. You virtually cannot see in rural areas when making a turn. Even high beams do not illuminate the road very well. This is a serious problem that needs to be addressed before someone has an accident and kills themselves.
