THIS IS A GENERAL COMPLAINT AGAINST ALL NEW BLUE AND BRIGHTER HEADLIGHTS. THEY ARE A SAFETY HAZARD. ESPECIALLY IN THE NEW F 150 AND SIMILAR BIG PICK UP TRUCKS WHEN ONE IS BEHIND YOU, THEY ARE HIGHER THAN YOUR CAR AND IT IS LIKE SHINING A SPOTLIGHT IN YOUR CAR. WILL TEMPORALITY BLIND YOU. WHEN ONE COMES AT YOU EVEN WITH LOW BEAMS THEY ARE A SAFETY HAZARD. AT FIRST I THOUGHT IT WAS A AGE ISSUE. BUT FOUND OUT LAST WEEK AT EYE DOCTOR PEOPLE OF ALL AGES ARE COMPLAINING WAS ALMOST IN ROAD RAGE OVER A LARGE PICKUP TRUCK THAT FOLLOWED ME ON MY BUMPER WITH THOSE BRIGHT, BRIGHT BLUE HEADLIGHTS. .

THE ELECTRONICS ON THE DASH RESET, CAUSING THE RADIO TO MALFUNCTION AND OTHER RELATED ISSUES WITH DATE, TIME AND RADIO PROGRAMS, DIMMING CONTROLS, AND UNKNOWN OTHER ISSUES. THE DEALER RESETS, BUT I HAVE TOO KEEP RETURNING FOR CORRECTIONS. THIS MUST BE COMPLETED BY A THIRD PARTY. THIS IS NOT CORRECT AS I HAVE NO IDEA WHAT OTHER COMPONENTS ARE AFFECTED. BY THIS. THE DEALER SAYS THE DASHBOARD SYSTEMS MAY NEED TO BE EXCHANGED. WHY?

DRIVING ON SANTA FE BLVD IN DENVER CO. WAS COMING TO A RED LIGHT, PRESSED THE BRAKES AND THEY WENT TO THE FLOOR, SWERVED INTO NEXT LANE WITH CARS FURTHER AWAY, AND AVOIDED A CRASH AS THE LIGHT CHANGED.. THIS IS A VERY HEAVY TRAFFIC AREA AND I AM LUCKY TO NOT HAVE CAUSED A ACCIDENT INVOLVING SEVERAL CARS.. LAWSUIT APPROPRIATE ! *TR
