Subaru Outback Exterior Lighting Safety Report | May 03, 2012
Reported on May 03, 2012
| THE LOW BEAM HEADLIGHTS HAVE BURNED OUT TWICE. THE CAR IS A 2011 SUBARU OUTBACK, AND IT HAS LESS THAN 30,000 MILES ON IT. THE HEADLIGHT SETTING IS NOT KEPT ON THE AUTO SETTING. (SOME CLAIM USING THE AUTO SETTING CAUSES THE LIGHTS TO SWITCH ON-AND-OFF MORE CAUSING ADDITIONAL WEAR TO THE HEADLIGHT.) THE HEADLIGHTS WERE INSTALLED BY A DEALER, SO IT CAN BE ASSUMED THEY WERE INSTALLED TO CORRECT SUBARU SPECIFICATIONS. THE COMMUTE TO AND FROM WORK EVERY DAY IS A SINUOUS, TREE-LINED ROAD, WITH THE OCCASIONAL DEER CROSSING. DURING THIS TIME OF YEAR, THE COMMUTE TO AND FROM WORK IS IN THE DARK. HAVING ONE OR BOTH HEADLIGHTS BURN OUT IS A SAFETY ISSUE; DRIVING WITH THE HIGH-BEAMS ON JUST TO SEE THE ROAD IS ALSO A SAFETY ISSUE AND IS ILLEGAL. *TR | |
