Lighting complaints
The inter lights stay on anywhere from 30 minutes to an hour after you turn truck off, the low range 4x4 will not disengage until you back up for about 1/2 mile electrical system keeps turning the truck off shows battery light then glow plug light shuts engine off and have to jump the truck then it runs for 45 minutes and jump it again
While driving in inclement weather headlights were very dim. As a result, driver nearly had a collision due to lack of visibility. *Ak
Re: high intensity headlights and high-mounted suv/truck headlights dear nhtsa: please do something about the proliferation of dangerous and annoying high intensity headlights, and high-mounted headlights on suv's and trucks. For anyone driving a normal car, these lights create major glare and safety problems. I suggest banning the high intensity headlights in this country (the regular halogen lights are a good balance between light generation and not blinding other drivers) and forcing the suv manufacturers to move the headlights lower on the front of suv's so that they do not blind oncoming or preceding drivers. Thank you! *Nlm
