Example complaints
Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.
“At night on dark streets with no other lighting, you cannot see to drive unless you use high beams. There is a line across the windshield; a horizon. You can see below that horizon (a thin area), but it's black above it, making it very hard to see. Visibility is only a few feet. I contacted Toyota and the sales and management team claim that they have never heard of such a thing. I contacted service and was told that this is normal. There is no fix. I am demanding that my headlights be aimed higher in hopes that I can see to drive. …”
