Description of the problem | While driving at night, all lights, especially red in color, which are viewed from front windshield, appear as three distinct images. The source light, then a distinct shadowed light above and below the source. This safety issue is extremely compounded when driving at night in high traffic situations where there are hundrends of tailights in front of me. All those lights are essentially trippled causing confusion and distraction. Toyota refuses to aknowlege the issue. Through research, i have found that this is a common issue with many frustrated owners just living with it because toyota wont fix it. It is a huge safety issue. Please help make toyota rectify this huge safety issue before it causes preventable accidents!! |
