VISIBILITY/WIPER
The single blade windshield wiper was hitting below the windshield and then it completely stopped working today. I have made an appointment to get it serviced. It is also very hard to find sub blades for this and can only purchase 26 inch regular blades.

DEFECTIVE WINDSHIELD THAT IS A SAFETY HAZARD. MAKES IT HARD TO JUDGE DISTANCE TO THE CURB OR VEHICLE NEXT TO YOU. FEAR GETTING INTO ACCIDENT WITH CURRENT WINDSHIELD HOWEVER TOYOTA STATES IT IS NORMAL EVEN THOUGH IT DISTORTS YOUR VISION WHEN DRIVING. AFTER FIVE MONTHS TOYOTA HAS DONE NOTHING TO CORRECT THE DEFECT AND ENSURE MY SAFETY WHILE DRIVING THEIR CAR.

VISIBILITY/WIPER
THE HEADLIGHTS DO NOT SHINE FAR ENOUGH TO THE LEFT OR RIGHT WHEN APPROACHING A 90 DEGREE LEFT OR RIGHT TURN AT NIGHT. I NOTICED THIS RIGHT AFTER I BOUGHT THE CAR. I HAVE BEEN DRIVING FOR OVER 40 YEARS AND OWNED MANY VEHICLES AND HAVE NEVER HAD ANY DIFFICULTY SEEING WHEN I WAS MAKING A TURN. I'M SURE IT IS NOT THE LIGHTS NEEDING ADJUSTMENT. IT IS A VERY BAD DESIGN ON THE HEADLIGHTS AND ALSO VERY DANGEROUS. THERE IS NO DOUBT IN MY MIND THAT THERE WILL BE MANY ACCIDENTS BECAUSE OF THE HEADLIGHT DESIGN. I BELIEVE THIS FLAW SHOULD BE RE-CALLED AND REPAIRED.

VISIBILITY/WIPER
WAS HIT FROM BEHIND BY A PICKUP TRUCK GOING 40MPH WHILE I WAS STOPPED AT AN INTERSECTION. I WAS 5 MONTHS PREGNANT AT THE TIME. I WAS PROPELLED INTO ONCOMING TRAFFIC WHERE MY RIGHT SIDE PASSENGER SIDE WAS HIT BY A SEDAN. NO AIRBAGS DEPLOYED. CONTACTED TOYOTA WHO REVIEWED MY ACCIDENT PHOTOS, AND THEY CLAIM THE FRAME WAS NOT DAMAGED, SO THE AIRBAGS WOULDN'T HAVE DEPLOYED, BUT I DON'T BUY IT. THE BACK END, GLASS, BUMPER, ETC, WAS DESTROYED AND MY PASSENGER DOOR WAS COMPLETELY CAVED IN. THE CAR WAS TOTALED. I DON'T SEE ANY REASON THE AIRBAGS WOULD NOT HAVE DEPLOYED, ESPECIALLY SINCE I WAS COMPLETELY STOPPED AND WAS HIT VERY HARD. I SUFFERED MAJOR BRUISING TO MY ARMS AND LEGS, NECK AND BACK PAIN, ALL REQUIRING SEVERAL DAYS OFF WORK.
