The headlights on this vehicle are horrible , it is a safety hazzard . When driving the headlights only light up the road about 6 ft in feont of you on low beam and there is a distinct line where they stop shining upwards which is only about 4 ft up into the sky . This does not give you enough time to see anything in front of you let alone pwople walking on the sidewalks . I am very dissapointes that this vehicle is 6 years old and this hasnt been taken care of yet . Maybe you should try and drive rhis vehicle and then recall it because you cant see anything on low beam. I was driving on the street after getting this and driving ar night is a safety hazzard that needs to be reconciked for all of us before something happens to someone .

3 Headlights problem

Failure Date: 01/16/2019

Headlights have been replaced twice since purchasing the vehicle in may 2015. Most recently, both headlights went out at the same time. Fuses we checked. Prior to the last headlight change, the lamps very very dim and as such visibility was poor, so much so that it was a safety hazard.

4 Headlights problem

Failure Date: 06/18/2013

I have never had to replace bulbs in the headlights in a vehicle I have owned. The headlights in this vehicle were good about 2 years. But, since then I have had to replace both bulbs in the headlights every year. And, I have to have the a/c system worked on every year as well beginning 3 months after I purchased it. Purchasing this vehicle is the worst decision I have ever made in my life. I am constantly having something break. Headlights, wheel bearings, motor mount, multiple issues with a/c, transmission.
