| Exterior Lighting problems |
When starting up the vehicle, the headlight system malfunctioned light came on and a pre-collision system light came on. After shutting it off and restarting the vehicle. The lights were off.
This is a widespread issue of these models leaving the factory with their headlights aimed too high which is leading other drivers to flash their brights thinking the bright lights in the Highlander are on. This needs to be sent to Toyota as a safety recall!!!! it is unsafe for oncoming traffic!!!!.
All Toyota Highlanders with the led projector headlights come from the factory with the lights aimed far too high.
At night, drivers frequently flash their bright lights at my vehicle, "complaining that my high beams are on. " sometimes, they turn on their brights at me and leave them on until our vehicles pass. My high beams are not on. This is a safety hazard from my vehicle if the low beams are adjusted too high, an increased hazard when the driver of the approaching vehicle flashes their lights at me, and an even more serious issue when they leave their lights on. This is a constant problem that has existed from the moment I drove the new vehicle off the dealer's lot. The dealer refuses to adjust the headlights under warranty repair. If a vehicle is improperly assembled from the factory, that should be corrected under warranty repair.
