2016 Toyota RAV4 Exterior lighting Problems

“The headlights on this vehicle are not adequate. The low beam headlights do not project far enough down the road to see objects on the road, especially at highway speeds. On the night of september 16, 2017, I nearly hit two deer on the interstate highway because I could not see them.”

“The headlights while driving at night on this vehicle are horrible! It is like you are driving in a poorly lit tunnel with very little peripheral vision. I am constantly having oncoming drivers flash their high beams at me while driving with my lights on low beam, so it must be affecting their ability to see. Very dangerous for both drivers! This is a very poor headlight setup and should be recalled and repaired on all the affected models.”

“Dim headlamps are life threatening. Field of vision is short with a line and darkness above limiting vision. Right and left turning vision non existent. After 3 attempts and official complaint Toyota repair says there is nothing else they can do, lamps meet federal standards. Evening test drives should be mandatory. I would like someone with authority to try and drive my vehicle in my neighborhood in the dark. Many complaints on internet. No one seems to have a resolution. My life is in danger.”

“During daylight driving speedometer is difficult or impossible to read. Dealer report that everything is working as it should , but I cannot determine my speed accurately.”

“I have complained about the headlights from day one. The dealership said the headlights are adjusted properly. Since then my wife has hit a deer because she can not see more than one car length in front without the high beams on. Now she always drives with the high beams on. Thisorning she was verbally accosted from another driver for driving with her high beams on. We live in a more rural area with very few street lights. Get a rav 4 put it in a totally dark area and turn on the head lights. Measure the distance between bumper and end of light. Then you will see the issue. …”
