| Exterior Lighting problems |
I have a 2011 Scion Tc and shortly after my purchase noticed only one reverse light works. I found out that this was how scion manufactured all their 2011 Scion Tc's. The thing that really throws me off is that it has the aesthetic appearance of two reverse lights but only one works. I can't tell you how many close calls I've had backing out of a parking spot and almost got hit by a passing car because they aren't able to see my reverse light. Not to mention, pedestrians. This is a huge safety hazard. It's only a matter of time before someone gets seriously hurt because of this.
The contact owns a 2011 Toyota Scion Tc. The contact stated that the vehicle had only one operable reverse light. The vehicle was not repaired. The VIN was not available. The current mileage was 600 and the failure mileage was unknown.
I was backing out of a parking space when another vehicle nearly ran into my rear passenger side. There is only one reverse lamp and it is on the driver side of the car. People approaching the car from the passenger side cannot see this lamp; therefore they don't know the vehicle is reversing. I have almost been hit many times due to other vehicles not being aware of my reversing. This is also true of pedestrians walking behind/near the my vehicle as they cannot see the reverse light from the passenger side. I was not told this vehicle had only one reverse light when purchasing the vehicle. When I questioned the dealership they said there is nothing they can do. It is a major safety hazard and could easily result in a pedestrian or child being hit as they may walk behind the vehicle unaware of it being in reverse.
