The pattern of the low beam does not project well and do not have a sharp cut-off. Too much light projects "up" in poor visibility conditions, such as fog. Fog lights are quite useless as well. The car has the worst head lights of any car I've had.

1) headlights left "on" - car was stopped and keys removed from ignition, headlight switch in auto and all doors closed. Headlights should have automatically turned off after 30+ secs, however, headlights remained on even after using remote to lock and turn off headlights. Solution: Open door and set headlight switch to off. 2) car lurches - car lurches from standing start.
