THERE WAS NO CRASH BUT THERE IS A HUGE SAFETY ISSUE. THE HEADLIGHTS ON THE CAR ARE THE WORSE I'VE EVER ENCOUNTERED (OWNER 12 CARS). WHEN YOU TURN THE CORNER ON A UN LIT STREET THERE IS A BIG BLIND SPOT LEFT AND RIGHT. I HAVE ALMOST ALREADY HIT 3 PARKED CARS CLOSE TO THE CORNET BECAUSE YOU CANNOT SEE THEM NOR THE CURB. EVEN DRIVING ON A ROAD IT LOOKS LIKE THERE ARE BLINDERS ON THE LIGHTS LEFT AND RIGHT. CHECKED WITH THE DEALER AND THERE ARE NO ADJUSTMENTS TO BE MADE. I DON'T UNDERSTAND HOW THIS HUGE SAFETY ISSUE ESCAPED EVERYONE'S ATTENTION. CAN YOU PLEASE RESPOND TO THIS ISSUE. *TR
