2007 Toyota Camry Solara complaints

I HAVE A 2007 TOYOTA SOLARA WITH A V-6 ENGINE. AT 79000 MILES THE WATER PUMP FAILED CATASTROPHICALLY AND TOOK OUT THE TIMING BELT, WHICH CAUSED THE CAR TO QUIT IN THE MIDDLE OF TRAFFIC. *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 TOYOTA SOLARA. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 35 MPH, THE CONTACT ATTEMPTED TO ACCELERATE AT A TRAFFIC LIGHT AND THE VEHICLE DID NOT MOVE FORWARD NOR DID THE SPEED INCREASE. WHEN THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL WAS DEPRESSED, THE VEHICLE REMAINED IN AN IDLE NEUTRAL POSITION. THE DEALER INFORMED THE CONTACT THAT HER VIN WAS NOT A PART OF ANY RECALLS AND THAT SHE WOULD BE RESPONSIBLE FOR THE COST OF A DIAGNOSTIC TEST. THE DEALER REFUSED TO PERFORM A DIAGNOSTIC TEST AFTER THE CONTACT AGREED TO PAY THE FEE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 27,000. THE CONSUMER STATED THE ACCELERATOR WOULD BECOME STUCK WHILE DRIVING. AS SHE PROCEEDED TO STEP ON THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL, THE VEHICLE WOULD MOVE FORWARD, UNDER CONTINUOUS FOOT PRESSURE THE PEDAL WOULD GET STUCK AND MOMENTARILY STAYED IN AN IDLED POSITION FOR SEVERAL SECONDS. THE VEHICLE WOULD THEN JUMP FORWARD BACK INTO THE DRIVE POSITION. UPDATED 04/07/10

1.TWICE WITHIN 1ST YEAR: THE CAR ACCELERATED QUICKLY WHILE I WAS DRIVING ON THE ROAD; IT WAS HARD TO STOP. I THOUGHT THE FLOOR MAT WAS UNDER THE GAS PEDAL. LATER, THE CAR SUDDENLY REVVED UP AND ACCELERATED AS I WAS LEAVING A PARKING LOT. AFTER I TOOK MY FOOT OFF OF THE GAS, IT KEPT INCREASING SPEED. NOTHING WAS IN THE WAY OF THE PEDAL THAT TIME. I WAS ABLE TO GAIN CONTROL. (THE SERVICE TECH TOLD ME THE EXPERIENCE I RELAYED TO HIM WAS NOT POSSIBLE.) STILL, THE CAR ACCELERATES BY ITSELF, MOST RECENTLY THREE DAYS AGO. I HAD IT SET AT 60 MPH ON CRUISE CONTROL. IT WOULDN'T STAY AT 60. I HAD TO DECREASE THE CRUISE SPEED 3 OR 4 TIMES. I ROUTINELY HAVE TO MANUALLY REDUCE THE CRUISE CONTROL SPEED BY BUMPING THE LEVER DOWN. I HAVE BECOME USED TO THIS MALFUNCTION. TOYOTA EMPLOYEES DENIED A DEFECT AND REFUSED TO REPAIR THE FAULTY PARTS. DURING THE FIRST 18 MONTHS, I TOOK MY CAR IN APPROXIMATELY 20 TIMES. NO REPAIRS WERE MADE. 2.RAIN ENTERS ABOVE THE DRIVER'S SIDE WINDOW. ODI ID NUMBER:10242104 HAS BEEN ESTABLISHED BECAUSE OF THE SAME COMPLAINT ON THE SAME MAKE AND MODEL. 3.THE RIGHT FRONT TIRE HAD TO BE REPLACED TWICE DURING THE FIRST 6 MONTHS I HAD THE CAR BECAUSE THE TIRES IN THAT POSITION DAMAGED QUICKLY FOR NO LEGITIMATE CAUSE. I HAD TO BUY A WHOLE SET OF TIRES BEFORE THE CAR HAD 18,000 MILES ON IT BECAUSE THEY WERE WEARING SO BADLY THAT THEY WERE UNSAFE. THIS COINCIDES WITH ODI ID NUMBER:10269039 CITING THE SAME PROBLEMS ON ANOTHER 07 SOLARA CONVERTIBLE. 4.THE SOFT TOP HAS UNRAVELED

I OWN A 2007 TOYOTA CAMRY SOLARA. MY PROBLEM EXIST WITH A STUCK PEDAL. WHEN I AM STOPPED AT A LIGHT, AND PROCEED TO STEP ON MY ACCELERATOR MOMENTARILY STICKS IN A NEUTRAL POSITION ,UNTIL IT RELEASES, WHILE I AM STILL MOVING FORWARD WITH THE SAME PRESSURE ON THE GAS PEDAL. I CHECKED THE OWNERS MANUAL AND THIS IS WHAT IT STATES: IF THE ENGINE SPEED DOES NOT INCREASE WHEN THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL IS DEPRESSED, THERE MAY BE A PROBLEM SOMEWHERE IN THE ELECTRONIC THROTTLE CONTROL SYSTEM. MY CONCERN IS THIS PROBLEM IS ASSOCIATED WITH THE RECALL, AND MY CAR IS NOT ON THE RECALL LIST. I DO NOT FEEL CONFIDENT IN TOYOTA'S EXPLANATION WITH ALL TOYOTA CARS. I DO NOT KNOW IF MY CAR WAS INVOLVED IN THE 1ST RECALL WITH THE FLOOR MATS, THROTTLE CONTROL, OR THE GAS PEDAL. I WANT TO KNOW WHO MADE MY ACCELERATOR PEDAL AND IF MY CAR WILL BE REPAIRED BY TOYOTA. I DO NOT FEEL SAFE, THAT THIS PROBLEM WITH THE PEDAL WILL MAKE MY CAR GO OUT OF CONTROL. IF IT IS A DEFECTIVE PART, HAS IT BEEN DETERMINED THAT WHEN MY PEDAL STICKS IT WILL ACCELERATE OUT OF CONTROL. WITH SO MANY OTHER TOYOTA'S BEING ADDED TO THE LIST EACH DAY. I WANT TO REPORT THAT THE CAMRY SOLARA SHOULD BE ADDED TO THIS LIST. IT IS NOT SAFE TO DRIVE. THIS HAPPENS EVERY TIME I DRIVE THE CAR. I AM NOT CURRENTLY DRIVING THE CAR. I EXPECT ALL ISSUES WITH ACCELERATION BE CLOSELY LOOKED AT BY TOYOTA, AND THE RESPONSIBILITY TO REPAIR AT THE COST OF TOYOTA BE TAKEN CARE OF REGARDLESS OF A RECALL LETTER BEING SENT OUT TO ONLY THE LISTED CARS TO DATE

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 TOYOTA SOLARA. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 35 MPH THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL BECAME STUCK. THE CONTACT WAS FORCED TO REPEATEDLY ENGAGE THE BRAKE PEDAL IN ORDER TO RELEASE FROM THE STUCK POSITION. THE FAILURE OCCURRED INTERMITTENTLY. THE VEHICLE HAS NOT BEEN DIAGNOSED BY THE DEALER. THE VIN WAS UNKNOWN. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 80,000.

TOYOTA SOLARA 2007 - IN 2008 I BROUGHT IN MY SOLARA IN THREE TIMES REPORTING TO THE DEALER THAT THE MOTOR INTERMITTENTLY AND WILL SUDDENLY REV-UP ON ITS OWN WHEN CRUISING WITH THE ENGINE FEATHERED. IT HAPPENS TYPICALLY BETWEEN 20 AND 40 MPH IT DOES NOT GO TO FULL THROTTLE BUT IT IS ENOUGH THAT IT WILL CATCH ME BY SURPRISE THE BRAKES EASILY STOP IT. THE DEALER SAID THERE WAS NOTHING WRONG (SERVICES RECORDS ARE AT THE TOYOTA DEALER HERE IN LAKELAND FL). I TRIED TURNING OFF THE AC THINKING IT WAS REVERING UP FROM THE COMPRESSOR CYCLING ON AND OFF BUT MADE NO DIFFERENCE. I HAVE NOTICED HOWEVER THAT IF I'M PLAYING AN XM RADIO STATION WITH HEAVY BASE MUSIC IT SEEMS TO HAPPEN MORE OFTEN - HOPE THIS HELPS YOU FOLKS WITH YOUR INVESTIGATION. *JB

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 TOYOTA SOLARA. HE STATED THAT WHILE STARTING THE VEHICLE HE HEARD CLICKING NOISES FROM THE STARTER AND THE VEHICLE WOULD NOT START. THE CONTACT WAS ABLE TO JUMP START THE BATTERY SO THAT HE COULD DRIVE IT TO THE DEALER. THE DEALER DIAGNOSED THE VEHICLE STATING THAT IT WAS THE IGNITION WIRE THAT WAS TOUCHING THE 2ND WIRE CAUSING AN OPEN CIRCUIT DRAW, THEY EXPLAINED THAT IT WAS IN A PROTECTIVE HARNESS AND THAT THIS SHOULD HAVE NEVER HAPPENED AND THAT THIS IS A MANUFACTURER DEFECT. THERE WERE REPAIRS WHICH INCLUDED A REPLACEMENT BATTERY AND THE IGNITION WIRE HARNESS WHICH WAS REPAIRED AS WELL AT THE OWNERS EXPENSE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 24753 AND CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 24803. UPDATED 01/29/10. *LJ UPDATED 02/01/10*JB

MY 2007 TOYOTA SOLARA POWER STEERING LOCKED UP INITIALLY 12/17/2009 WHILE EXITING A FREEWAY OFFRAMP CAUSING ME TO CONTINUE VEERING LEFT INTO THE CURB FORTUNATELY WITH NO INJURY TO MYSELF OR CAR. THE CARS BEHIND, ALSO EXITING, NEARLY SLAMMED INTO ME BUT HAD ENOUGH ROOM TO STOP AND SWERVE AROUND. THE WHEEL WAS LOCKED FOR NEARLY 2 MINUTES THEN FINALLY RELEASED WHILE THE CAR REMAINED RUNNING WITH NO ENGINE FAILURE. THE SAME ISSUE OCCURRED 12/24/2009 IN THE EVENING WHILE EXITING A PARKING LOT WHICH AGAIN FORTUNATELY NO ONE HIT ME. THE STEERING WHEEL DID NOT UNLOCK FOR NEARLY TWO MINUTES AGAIN WITH NO ENGINE FAILURE. CURRENTLY THE CAR IS WITH TOYOTA DEALER AND HAS HAD NO PAST HISTORY OF ISSUES AND UNDERGOES REGULAR SCHEDULED MAINTENANCE. IT IS CURRENTLY BEING FURTHER DIAGNOSED AFTER I FILED A COMPLAINT 12/28/2009 SINCE THE SERVICE TEAM REPRESENTATIVE WAS ADVISING ME THE CAR WILL BE RELEASED AND TO BRING IT IN IF ANOTHER INCIDENT OCCURS. I AM REPORTING THIS ISSUE AS THE THIRD TIME MAY BE FATAL TO MYSELF OR OTHERS. IT IS UNACCEPTABLE FOR A DEALERSHIP TO RELEASE A CAR WHICH COULD CAUSE FATALITY. AS A RESULT I AM AWAITING APPROVAL FROM THE DEALER TO APPROVE THE CHANGE OUT ALL TECHNICAL COMPONENTS THAT DEAL WITH THE POWER STEERING. *TR

HESITATION UPON ACCELERATION. HAPPENS EVERY TIME. *TR

LEASED A 2007 SLE CONVERTIBLE. AT 23K MILES I HAD TO REPLACE ALL FOUR TIRES. THEY WERE PROPERLY ROTATED AS SPECIFIED AND TWO OF THE TIRES WERE SHOWING THE WIRES/INSIDE LININGS! TOYOTA TOLD ME TO SEEK HELP FROM BRIDGESTONE - BRIDGESTONE TOLD ME TO GO BACK TO TOYOTA, IT'S A LEASE UNDER IT'S MILEAGE. TOYOTA DID NOT HONOR AND BLAMED THE TIRES FOR BEING TOO SOFT! UNACCEPTABLE AND I WON'T BE GETTING ANOTHER TOYOTA SINCE I HAD TO SPEND OVER $600 IN TIRES. *TR

ON SEPT. 1, 2008, I WAS DRIVING NORTH THROUGH PA. ON I-79. I WAS USING THE CRUISE CONTROL ON MY 2007 TOYOTA CAMRY SOLARA FOR THE FIRST TIME. I PULLED INTO A REST AREA. AS I WAS ABOUT TO PULL INTO A PARKING SPACE, I STOPPED FOR SOME PEDESTRIANS TO PASS BY. WHEN I TOOK MY FOOT OFF THE BRAKE TO PULL INTO THE PARKING SPACE, MY CAR SUDDENLY ACCELERATED AT A VERY HIGH SPEED AS IF I HAD PUT MY FOOT ON THE GAS PEDAL ALL THE WAY TO THE FLOOR. I ASSURE YOU, I BARELY TOUCHED THE GAS PEDAL. AS A CONSEQUENCE, THE CAR WENT OVER A HIGH CURB, WENT THROUGH A PICNIC AREA AND DOWN A HILL INTO SOME WEEDS BEFORE I COULD BRING IT TO A STOP. I REALLY HAD TO PUSH ON THE BRAKE WITH ALL MY STRENGTH. I HAD NO CONTROL OVER THE CAR OR ITS SPEED. AS A RESULT, I HIT A PERSON WALKING IN THE PICNIC AREA AND SHE SUSTAINED VERY SERIOUS INJURIES. I HAVE RECEIVED A CARELESS DRIVING CITATION AND MAY BE FACING A MAJOR LAWSUIT. I FEEL I HAD NO CONTROL OVER THE VEHICLE AND THAT IT IS UNSAFE TO DRIVE, AT LEAST WITH THE CRUISE CONTROL. I BELIEVE THE CRUISE CONTROL DID NOT DISENGAGE WHEN I PULLED OFF THE HIGHWAY AND PUT MY FOOT ON THE BREAK. I HAVE NOT TAKEN THE CAR TO A TOYOTA DEALERSHIP FOR FEAR THEY WOULD JUST COVER UP THE PROBLEM. *TR

DESIGN DEFECT-WHEN IT RAINS WATER POURS IN THE DRIVERS DOOR EVER SINCE I BOUGHT THE CAR/DEALER AND TOYOTA REFUSE TO FIX IT/ DRIVER GETS SOAKED WHEN I OPEN THE DOOR IN THE RAIN WHILE STILL SITTING IN THE DRIVERS SEAT. *TR

2007 TOYOTA CAMRY WITH AIRBAG LIGHT ILLUMINATED. CONSUMER STATES THAT THE AIRBAG LIGHT HAS YET TO BE FIXED. SHE BELIEVES THIS PROBLEM SHOULD BE FIXED DUE TO THE WARRANTY. *KB THE LOCK ON THE SEATBELT WAS INOPERATIVE. *JB

ON THE DATE IN QUESTION, I WAS STANDING STILL AT A RED LIGHT. THERE WAS HEAVY RAIN. WHEN THE LIGHT TURNED GREEN I PROCEEDED THROUGH THE INTERSECTION. THE VEHICLE IN FRONT OF ME WAS APPROXIMATELY 5 CAR-LENGTHS AHEAD OF ME. TRAFFIC SUDDENLY CAME TO AN ABRUPT STOP. I HIT MY BRAKE, SKIDDED THE ENTIRE DISTANCE BETWEEN MYSELF AND THE VEHICLE STOPPED IN FRONT OF ME AND HIT IT IN THE REAR. MY ENTIRE FRONT-END WAS SMASHED IN; THE VEHICLE I HIT WAS A LATE MODEL FORD EXPLORER WHICH SUSTAINED NO DAMAGE. THERE WERE NO INJURIES, HOWEVER, MY AIR BAG DID NOT DEPLOY, MY ENTIRE FRONT END WAS DEMOLISHED AFTER PROCEEDING A SHORT DISTANCE AT A LOW RATE OF SPEED. THERE WERE FLUIDS LEAKING AND SMOKE EMANATING FROM UNDER THE HOOD. THE WAS DECLARED BY THE POLICE TO BE UNDRIVEABLE AND HAD TO BE TOWED TO A REPAIR SHOP. *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 TOYOTA SOLARA. WHILE DRIVING AT ANY SPEED, THE VEHICLE WOULD PULL TO THE RIGHT. THE DEALER DIAGNOSED THE VEHICLE SEVERAL TIMES, BUT THE FAILURE CONTINUED. THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 2,848 AND FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 254. UPDATED 5/6/08 *CN UPDATED 05/06/08 *TR

THROTTLE LAG WHEN MERGING INTO TRAFFIC OR FROM STOP. DID NOT HAVE THIS ON MY 1999 SOLARA. *TR

MERGING ONTO THE FREEWAY INTO FAST-MOVING TRAFFIC, THE CAR HESITATED FOR SEVERAL SECONDS BEFORE IT DOWNSHIFTED AND STARTED TO ACCELERATE. ON-COMING CARS HAD TO BRAKE AND HONKED AT ME. THAT CAN BE A DANGEROUS SITUATION. THE CAR ALSO HESITATES WHEN JUST SLOWING DOWN TO TURN A CORNER. IT TAKES 5 TO 10 SECONDS FOR THE CAR TO ACCELERATE. *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 TOYOTA SOLARA. THE CONTACT HEARD A LOUD, WHINING NOISE WHEN SHE TURNED THE STEERING WHEEL. THE STEERING WHEEL WAS REPLACED TWICE WITHIN AN EIGHT-MONTH PERIOD. THE DEALER STATED THAT HER TYPE OF VEHICLE HAD A REPUTATION FOR THIS FAILURE; HOWEVER, IT COULD NOT BE DUPLICATED. THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 10,500 AND FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 6,000. UPDATED 01/17/08 *BF UPDATED 01/17/08 *TR

PURCHASED TOYOTA SOLARA AUG, 2007. TIRES ARE @ 15K MILES AND THE TREAD IS SHOT. I CONTACTED TOYOTA AND THEY STATED SEE MANUFACTURER FOR WARRANTY. TOYOTA STATED THEY WOULD SELL ME NEW TIRES AND THEN WARRANTY TREADWARTE. WENT TO BRIDESTONE DEALER AND THEY WOULD NOT HONOR TREAD WARRANTY. SO BASICALLY IF YOU BUY A NEW CAR YOU GET NO TIRE WARRANTY. I THINK THIS IS CONSUMER FRAUD. *TR

I'M HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM WITH MY SOLARA. IT HESITATES ALL THE TIME GOING AROUND CORNERS, HIGHWAY ACCELERATION IS TERRIBLE. I TALKED TO TOYOTA ABOUT THIS ISSUE AND THEY ARE NO HELP. THEY HAVE POSTED A BULLETIN TO KIND OF FIX THE SAME ISSUE WITH THE V6 SOLARA, AND THE CAMRY. THEY HAVE NOTHING FOR THE 4 CYL. THEY KEEP TELLING ME THAT THE CARS TRANSMISSION IS RESPONDING THE WAY IT SHOULD BE. SOMETHING NEEDS TO BE DONE ABOUT THIS. I KEEP TAKING IT BACK TO THE DEALERSHIP FOR THEM TO RESET THE TRANSMISSION BACK TO THE FACTORY SETTINGS, BUT THAT ONLY LASTS FOR A WEEK OR TWO THEN ITS BACK TO THE HESITATING. *JB

I RECENTLY BOUGHT A BRAND NEW TOYOTA SOLARA 2007 IN APRIL 2007. SINCE THEN I HAVE BROUGHT MY CAR TO THE TOYOTA DEALER FOR MORE THEN 5 TIMES IN 3 MONTHS FOR THE SAME DEFECT. BUT THEY CANNOT REPAIR IT. I REALIZED THAT THE VEHICLE HESITATE ON ACCELERATION ON ALL OCCASION. WHENEVER I MAKE A TURN (LET OR RIGHT TURN) THE CAR WILL "PAUSE" AND LOST IN POWER, LOST OF TRANSMISSION FOR SECONDS. THE CAR SIMPLY "RETARDED" AND SIMPLY ROLL ON THE ROAD WITHOUT TRANSMISSION CONTROL...WHENEVER I NEED TO STEP ON GAS TO ESCAPE FROM A SITUATION ON THE FREEWAY, THE CAR AGAIN WILL "PAUSE" AND HESITATE, I REGARD THAT THE CAR IS "RETARDED". IT SIMPLY LOST IN TRANSMISSION DURING THAT SHORT PAUSE, I FELT SO DANGEROUS ON THE ROAD WITH SUCH DEFAULTED VEHICLE. I READ ON THE COMPLIANT FROM NHTSA AND SURPRISE TO FIND THAT THERE ARE SO MANY OF THE CAMRY OWNER ARE FACING THE SAME PROBLEM. THE TOYOTA SOLARA IS ALSO A CAMRY BREED, HENCE I THINK THESE AMOUNT OF COMPLAINTS SHOUD WARRANT THE GOVERNMENT TO ACT AGAINST THE TOYOTA MANUFACTURER TO DO A RECALL AND REPAIR. I AM VERY DISAPPOINTED WITH TOYOTA, I HOPE I WILL NOT BE DISAPPOINTED WITH NHTSA TO START DOING SOMETHING GOOD FOR US THE CONSUMER WITH ALL THESE COMPLAINTS. SINCERELY. *TR

THERE IS A MAJOR DELAY AT TIMES WHEN THE CAR IS ASKED TO ACCELERATE- IF GOING APPROX 20 MPH AND WANT TO ACCELERATE INTO FAST LANE YOU NEVER KNOW HOW LONG IT WILL TAKE THE CAR TO RESPOND TO THE DEPRESSED GAS PEDDLE. THE CAR ALSO APPEARS TO DROP A GEAR OCC WHEN SLOWING DOWN. TOYOTA STATES THIS IS BECAUSE THE CAR HAS LEARNED THE WAY YOU LIKE TO DRIVE AND RESPONDS THAT WAY. WON'T ALLOW ANYONE ELSE TO DRIVE THE CAR DUE TO THIS DANGER AND UNPREDICTABILITY HAS ALWAYS ACTED THIS WAY. *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 TOYOTA SOLARA. ACCORDING TO THE CONTACT, THE OWNER'S MANUAL STATES THAT THERE IS A SEAT BELT WARNING CHIME FOR THE SEAT BELTS. HE STATED THAT HIS VEHICLE DOES NOT HAVE THAT FEATURE. HE TOOK THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALER WHO STATED THAT HIS VEHICLE DOES NOT HAVE THAT SAFETY FEATURE. HOWEVER, THE MANUFACTURER VERIFIED HIS VIN AND CONFIRMED THAT THE VEHICLE DOES HAVE THAT FEATURE. HE CONTACTED THE DEALER AGAIN AND THEY REPEATED THEIR PREVIOUS STATEMENT. THE TECHNICIAN AT THE DEALER PERFORMED A DIAGNOSTIC TEST THAT INDICATED THE FEATURE WAS NOT ON THE VEHICLE AS IT SHOULD HAVE BEEN. THE CONTACT FEELS THAT THIS IS MAJOR SAFETY HAZARD. THE CURRENT MILEAGE IS 2,500 AND THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS UNKNOWN.

I HAVE A 2007 TOYOTA SOLARA SLE. I EXPERIENCED THROTTLE / SHIFT LAG WHEN STARTING OUT FROM A DEAD START.THE TACHOMETER WILL JUMP TO 1500 OR HIGHER RPMS BEFORE THE CAR MOVES. *AK

MERGING ONTO THE FREEWAY INTO FAST-MOVING TRAFFIC, THE CAR HESITATED FOR SEVERAL SECONDS BEFORE IT DOWNSHIFTED AND STARTED TO ACCELERATE. ON-COMING CARS HAD TO BRAKE AND HONKED AT ME. THAT CAN BE A DANGEROUS SITUATION. *JB

I AM AN OWNER OF A 2007 TOYOTA SOLARA WITH WHAT I BELIEVE TO BE A SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE CONCERNING THE LOW BEAM LIGHTS. WHEN DRIVING AT NIGHT THE LIGHTS CAST A DISTINCTIVE SHADOW AND LINE WITH DARKNESS AT TOP AND LIGHT AT THE BOTTOM. AND DEPENDING ON THE CONTOUR OF THE ROAD AT TIMES IT IS IMPOSSIBLE TO SEE AND PRESENTS A CLEAR AND PRESENT DRIVING HAZARD. AMD OFTEN ON COMING TRAFFIC THINK I HAVE MY HIGH BEAMS ON AND THEY PUT THEIR HIGH BEAMS ON BLINDING ME TO ROAD AHEAD. AFTER ARBITRATION WITH A TOYOTA REPRESENTATIVE THE SITUATION HAS NOT BEEN ADDRESSED TO MY SATISFACTION. *NM
