problem #1

Sunfire 4-cyl

The low beam headlights are not bright enough to see. There is no adjustment for the high beam to low beam, only a dim bulb. Has been to a dealer and tried other headlamps, but these were not any better with the visibility. Contacted GM, and GM stated that this was the way the car was designed, and they would not redesign the vehicle. This was still a problem, no corrections done. GM suggested to put in a brighter bulb, but GM said this would void the warranty.
