| High beams reflect light to vertical objects at the side of the road, such as trees, structure, etc, causing distracting flashes of light, and momentary diversion of driver's attention. low beams do now seem to go out far enough to give a good view of the darkened road without using high beams. the headlights on 2001 and earlier models were excellent and did/do not present the same problems. i do not know of headlights used on 2002 models were the same as mine. dealer states problems not correctable in that lights operate as designed by manufacturer. *ak there was a rattle in the front seat belt housing, the center console was hard to open, and the sill plate was loose. *scc *jb | |||
