EXTERIOR LIGHTING
Potential Consequences:
My car's headlights are manufactured improperly so that the driver's side is far more illuminated than the passenger side. To be more clear, the cone of which the headlight service, around 10 to 15 degrees near the edge is not similar in brightness. If an animal or a person were to cross in front of my vehicle from the right. I would be less aware of them than I would on the left. This would put me and others at greater risk of an incident occurring. I have also looked on forums to see if others were having to same issues, and I have found that a large number of people are experiencing the same problem. I also took my car to the Santa Maria Toyota service center to have this issue fixed. They stated that the headlights can not be replaced or positioned to fix the problem. They stated that the headlight can only be positioned up and down. They are not able to be moved light or right. I also have documentation stating that they compared my car headlights to another car, that is the same year and model, with the same problem. I add this document as well.

VISIBILITY/WIPER
Potential Consequences:
I was driving on expressway to Sharonville, OH on Wednesday, Oct 5 2023 and it started to rain so I tried to put on my wipers and they did not work. I tried to see if they were stuck and by cleaning them but still did not work. I could not see that well, luckily I had rain x on the front windshield so the rain would wash off. I called Toyota in Sharonville area and they told me to bring it in the next morning. I went to the park and then started the wipers and they started back up again. Toyota in Sharonville told me they could do anything unless they saw it not working. This has happen before a couple of times and I reported to Elizabethtown, KY where i get my free maintenance for 2 years. They told me the same thing there that they could not do anything unless they saw them not working. I looked it up on a website and it showed they can do a non functional diagnostic/repair which would test the switch, relay and wiring to see if they are working properly. This is a safety problem which could have caused me an accident without visibility to see where I am going. I have about 2 years left on my bumper to bumper warranty and would like this problem fixed.

There has been several instances where I’m trying to cross a divided Highway and the accelerator doesn’t respond. I’ve had three near death experiences. There’s been other times where it will just shut off and restart without a warning. It’s been in my driveway thankfully. When I pull out in front of someone, it doesn’t respond either. I have had the pedal all the way down to the floor and it wouldn’t go for about 5-6 seconds

I have had the pedal all the way down to the floor and it wouldn’t go for about 5-6 seconds
Additional Notes:
There has been several instances where I’m trying to cross a divided Highway and the accelerator doesn’t respond. I’ve had three near death experiences. There’s been other times where it will just shut off and restart without a warning. It’s been in my driveway thankfully. When I pull out in front of someone, it doesn’t respond either. I have had the pedal all the way down to the floor and it wouldn’t go for about 5-6 seconds
