2016 Toyota RAV4 Visibility (wipers, defrost, mirrors) Problems

“My car was 4 days old. I was driving in the pouring rain, on a highway going 55-60mph, with no other vehicles ahead of me or on the side of me. My sunroof spontaneously exploded! The sunroof was in the closed position at the time but the cloth cover was open. Luckily it exploded outward but some tiny slivers of glass did cover the inside.”

I corrected the service rep to clarify we were just taking off from the restaurant after getting into the car. The remaining glass was pushed upward and not inward. …”

“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. …”
