Forte LX

  • Automatic transmission
  • 33,877 miles

Loved my Kia Forte until I had to start driving an rural unlit roads at night. The low beam barely work at all. They are very dim. Drivers Handbook in Florida says low beams should illuminate 250 feet. I actually got out of my car on the dark rural unlit area and MEASURED and my low beams are only illuminating 87 feet! I took it to DeLand Kia, who said the lights were fine. When I told them it needs to be on a road not lit with street lights, so they can see it. They kept my car overnight, and said they would drive it at night in a dark area, to check it. When I returned the next day, they said they tested it and it is fine. Funny thing is my odometer was unchanged, so they never even checked it! This car is not safe to drive if you happen to be in areas without street lights.
