Visibility/Wiper · at 20 miles · reported Nov 10, 2018
The headlights do not shine far enough to the left or right when approaching a 90 degree left or right turn at night. I noticed this right after I bought the car. I have been driving for over 40 years and owned many vehicles and have never had any difficulty seeing when I was making a turn. I'm sure it is not the lights needing adjustment. It is a very bad design on the headlights and also very dangerous. There is no doubt in my mind that there will be many accidents because of the headlight design. I believe this flaw should be re-called and repaired.
