EXTERIOR LIGHTING
WHILE DRIVING AT NIGHT HEADLIGHTS DO NOT ILLUMINATE THE ROAD FAR ENOUGH AHEAD, CREATING DANGEROUS DRIVING CITUATIONS, ACURA DEALERSHIP(3 TIMES) AND ACURA HELP CENTER TELL ME THIS IS A "CHARACTERISTIC" OF THIS MODEL. THIS IS NOT ACCEPTIBLE, AS THE VEHICLE IS A HAZARD TO DRIVE AT NIGHT. PLEASE HELP AS I BELIEVE ACURA IS IGNORING A ENGINEERING MISTAKE AND CALLING IT A CHARACTRISTIC!
