1 Headlights problem

Failure Date: 06/01/2014

The headlights of this vehicle at night at low beam are very dangerous. At low beam, a dark "curtain" appears that covers approximately the top half of the windshield at about eye level. The lights illuminate the road but with the cut off as described. It is very awkward and distracting. To counteract, I have to duck my head down to try to get some field of view in front of the vehicle with some perspective. I have never driven a car that has exhibited anything like this, and there is no question that it is a major safety defect. When approached by another vehicle at night, the "curtain" disappears but this is itself distracting and of concern. My wife took our new Cx-5 to the dealer for the first service interval and told the service department about this experience. The service department acknowledged that this was a big safety problem, and that it was waiting on a resolution. Frankly, Mazda and the regulators need to get this fixed ASAP. There is no doubt that someone or many persons are going to be killed. That "curtain" apparently is not a mere adjustment issue since the very good local Mazda dealership cannot fix it.
