These 2 items concerned me greatly as to the safety of the vehicle. The plastic fuel line failed due to cold weather, below zero, and being hit by slush ball from a truck. Had the fuel line been metal, there would have been no failure. The second item, the headlights is more critical. They failed to work on low beam. This failure happened unannounced and is very dangerous. I drove the rest of the way home with my high beams on.
