About These NHTSA Complaints:
The NHTSA is the US gov't agency tasked with vehicle safety. Complaints can be spread across multiple & redundant categories, & are not organized by problem. See the Back button — blue bar at the very top of the page — to explore more.
Original equipment head lamps are very dim for night time driving. So much so, you need to use high beems more frequently to see. Mercedes does not offer a solution even at additional cost to owners for an upgrade in lighting that is brighter or to add additional fog lamps. Mb requires that you order the vehicle with upgraded lighting package from factory. If you purchase after market products then mb will void your warranty. Apparently its a known issue on all models without optional lighting package, thousands of posts online validate the concern. Mb said they will not offer new product or recall until complaints are made through NHTSA.
