Exterior Lighting › Headlights

Filed Dec 18, 2003NM

I HAVE A CONCERN ABOUT THE NEW HEADLIGHT THAT ARE ON NEW CARS. THEY SHIFT IN COLOR FROM A COOL WHITE COLOR TO A BLUE COLOR WHEN THE CAR BOUNCES UPWARD. I FIND THIS EXTREAMLY DISORIENTING. I AM CONCERNED THAT WHEN THERE ARE MORE OF THESE CARS ON THE ROAD THIS SITUATION WILL PRODUCE A DRIVING STRESS AND HAZARD FOR MANY DRIVERS. THIS HAS THE POTENTIAL TO INCREASE DRIVING FATIGUE AND ACCIDENTS. I THINK THAT A STUDY MUST HAVE BEEN DONE PRIOR TO APPROVING THESE NEW HEADLIGHTS AND THAT THEY SHOULD HAE BEEN SHOWN TO BE DANGEROUS. IN MY OPINION THEY SHOULD BE TAKEN OFF OF THE MARKET AS SOON AS POSSIBLE. PLEASE FORWARD THIS TO THE APPROPRIATE PEOPLE. THANK YOU. *AK

Reading this record

No unusual pattern of severe incidents in the complaint record.

Complaint counts track how many cars were sold and how long they have been on the road as much as they track quality. A common model from 2013 has had a decade to accumulate reports; a rare one from last year has not. The signal worth weighing is in the severity columns, in whether the same component keeps appearing, and in whether the manufacturer eventually opened a recall for it.

Most recent recall on file: none. Source: NHTSA Office of Defects Investigation.
