2023 Toyota Corolla Cross Exterior lighting Problems

“Safety hazard! Taillights are poorly designed: not clearly visable at night(bad weather) for the vehicles behind. I was almost rearended at night because of this; as the person behind me, told me. They need to be on the back of vehicle for proper visualization for vehicle behind. You can only see the back tailights at night if your on the side of the vehicle. That is a dangerous situation for motorists.”

“There is an issue with the head lights. There are shadows in the lenses or covers that create a distraction while you are driving. I was told that Toyota did it not to have lights go into on coming cars but they make it hard for the driver to see also because it makes it look like something is in the road. I feel that they should change this cause it's a not to good of a design and it could cause a accident. Thanks”

“Dark spots on the road with the LED headlights on low beam. This is very distracting and causes me to focus on the dark spots. Very dangerous when driving on winding roads at night. A lot of deer on and on the side of the rural roads and the dark spots take my focus away.”

“When driving at night the illumination from the headlights is very poor. I can only see about 1/3 of the way up on the windshield and only a short distance in front of the car. Everything else is black. I am leasing the car for three years but I can't drive it at night it's too dangerous. Even if I use highbeams it is difficult to see. Both of my adult children have driven the car and come to the same conclusion. I brought it back to the dealership and they said the lights were adjusted properly to pass inspection. …”
