At times when attempting to switch from high beam to low beam lights turn off . when this happens there is a car coming other way. *tr
Pulling back the "smart stick" to change head beams from lo to hi requires effort that many not be enough so ... the hi beam becomes a "passing" hi beam. once achieved to hi beam and released, a second pull back of the "smart stick" and releasing may turn off both hi & lo beams altogether! so pull back the 'smart stick' a second time and release. always works the second attempt. *tr
When i use the dimmer switch on my headlights to switch from low beam to high beam all of my headlights go out and it is completely dark. when i switch back to low beam the lights come back on. this happens at various times and not everytime i try to use the high beams. sometimes they actually work. *jb

When going from high beam to low beam all headlights go out. *ak consumer states this does not happen all the time, dealer can not find problem. *slc
While driving at 55 mph heard a noise, and then the right side headlight flipped over onto the hood, and then it broke loose and went in a ditch, consumer took vehicle to dealer, and had headlight repaired. this could be considered unsafe because the wieght of that light could have struck someone or something, causing a fatal accident. *ak
While driving at night the consumers left hand knuckle hit the manual parking lamp switch which caused the headlights to go off. although this is a feature of the vehicle the consumer feels it is unsafe because had he not read the owners manual he may not have know what to do. nlm
There is shadow in the headlights which causes visibility problems and may result in a crash. dealer said that the design of the headlights created the shadow. *ak
