What owners report

There is no incident, however I would like to report a manufacturer problem. Many manufacturers put vehicles on the market with front headlights that are too bright and not aimed properly. See [XXX] There are regulations for the lumens of headlights and system of reflectors, but I assume manufacturers are not be watched for violations. Where I live, in Sarasota, FL, I am blinded by all the vehicle lights at night because lights appear to be on bright when they aren't. Something is very wrong. I don't think everyone is having aftermarket LED lights installed. I think they are coming from the manufacturers that way. Can you help? INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORM

AFTER THE ENGINE WARMS UP AND AT SPEEDS AROUND 45-50 THE ACCELERATION STICKS AS IF THE CRUISE CONTROL IS ON. THE ONLY WAY TO STOP IT IS TO PUT THE CAR IN NEUTRAL THEN DRIVE,OR SHUT THE ENGINE OFF. I DISCONNECTED THE SERVO TO THE CRUISE CONTROL TO ELIMINATE THE CRUISE AS THE CAUSE. THE PROBLEM IS INTERMITTENT BUT OCCURS OFTEN.
