The cars left front and right front side headlight reflectors do not properly provide adequate reflected light, which lowers the visibility to other road users, almost causing a recent crash. Also, the left front halogen low beam reflector does not properly illuminate the roadway for the driver, substantially reducing driving visibility.

The front lights are low and barely does anything when driving in evening or late night, making it hard to see items ahead and almost causing accidents twice already. I can barely see railings while turning onto highway at night with these terrible front lights. It has been more than a year and a half since the recall and nothing is being done by the manufacturer to remedy the issue.

The left and right headlight assembly's do not provide sufficient lighting to safely drive at night. I was notified of this recall over 1.5 years ago and there has yet to be a remedy available yet. Because of this, I am unable to safely drive at night. I am unsure what to do at this point other than replace them myself, which I cannot afford to do. I had an incident where I ran over animal carcass on the road because I was unable to see the hazard until I was too close to properly react.

I am registering this complaint because the manufacturer has failed to remedy this safety hazard in a reasonable amount of time.. During night driving and while driving in the rain worn road markings are most difficult to see. Are you able to expedite the repair process?

It has been over a year since a recall regarding the headlights was announced by Subaru with zero communication as to when the necessary fix would be made available. There has since been no communication other than telling everyone that if you do decide to buy aftermarket headlights and install that it would void your rights to the recall. We need this looked into before someone gets into an accident because of these faulty headlights. It is hard to see in dark conditions leaving drivers to use the bright lights while also could cause accidents as well. The headlights are simply not effective at all on low in dark or night conditions. Please help us by looking into this.
