On unlit or poorly lit roads, the low-beam distance is inadequate to identify road hazards, pedestrians, or signage in time to react at standard posted speeds (45+ mph). This creates a \"dead zone\" where the driver is effectively over-driving their headlights.  This is a known design deficiency reflected in the IIHS \"Poor\" safety rating for this model. The lack of light throw creates an unreasonable risk of collision. High beams offer a marginal improvement in angle but do not resolve the primary visibility failure. I am requesting an investigation into the headlight assembly design and a potential recall or dealer-installed remedy to meet acceptable safety visibility standards.  For reference, my electric scooter (segway max g3) is triple the brightness of my automobile!","products":[{"type":"Vehicle","productYear":"2022","productMake":"KIA","productModel":"FORTE","manufacturer":"Kia America, Inc."}]}]}
