1 Headlights problem

Failure Date: 10/26/2019

We took possession of this vehicle October 2019, brand new order. Ever since we have had this vehicle we have questioned several dealers regarding the headlights placement. When you drive on non lit roads you can only see about 6 feet in front of you. Anyone walking on the side of the road, an animal, broken down vehicle, the street you are suppose to turn on; you do not see until you are right on top of the object. We have been driving with the high beams on in order to see what is ahead of us. The low beams engaged seem to have a wall about 6 feet out that you can not see beyond that area. We were told that the headlights are aimed properly and there is nothing that they can or will do about it. When driving in a lighted area it is not as bad; when driving down back unlit roads with traffic coming at you or traffic in front of you the headlights are terrible. We live in a rural area with very little street lighting and I am really concerned about hitting something because the headlight do not illuminate enough to see objects in the road. We asked our sales person about the headlights and he went out and tested our concern, he told us to say something to the maintenance department when we brought the car in for its first inspection. We were told there was nothing they could do about the headlights. I have asked at the next dealer and was told the same thing. I am at a loss on how to correct this.
