Unsafe Low Beam Headlights—Daytime Only Vehicle—BEWARE
Aside from the fact that it’s not safe to drive at night, I like my Tucson Limited HEV. The high beams are great, but the low beams are truly a safety hazard. They illuminate a very defined area with no diffused light beyond a lighted rectangle and the distance of illumination is estimated to be about 200’. I live in a neighborhood with no street lights. When stopped at an intersection, the low beams illuminate a distance that is about twice the width of the intersection—safe enough when not moving, but totally unsafe at any speed. When moving, the illuminated rectangle bounces all over whenever you go uphill, downhill, hit the slightest bump…I can’t believe a vehicle with such awful headlights is allowed to be sold. Fortunately we have another vehicle for night driving. Had I test-driven the Tucson at night, I’d never have purchased it.
