Headlights problem #1

: the contact stated that both of the vehicle's headlights are aimed towards the ground. The vehicle was modified by a mobility industry in 01/06 to accommodate disabled passengers. The vehicle's independent rear suspension was replaced with a solid axle which raised the rear of the vehicle 2 inches causing the headlights to be aimed 50ft ahead. The mobility industry was notified about the defect on the 07/13/06 and determined that nothing could be done. The vehicle was then taken to the dealer who determined that nothing could be done.

Exterior Lighting problem #2

The dash start cracking up for no apparent reason and the car is mostly park inside a garage day and night. I have called dealers and nothing has been done so far and I have been told that's a manufacturer defect and it should be corrected by dealer. The transmission some times does not change the gears and others stop to work and I could cause a rear end collision.

Brake Light problem #3

Abs, vsc, trac off, brake lights on continuously, plus tire pressure light blinking. This is not normal and also annoying. Toyota doesn't seem to know what the problem is, and is only willing to allow me to spend thousands of dollars to "try" to fix this. Toyota needs to take responsibility! vehicle drives normally. Lights have been on for months. I was driving down the road, with a car load of children, late at night, coming home from a football game when the lights came on. We were driving across a long bridge, on a 6-lane roadway, going about 50 miles an hour. Very scary! I pulled over, but soon realized the care was drivable. I've spent so much money, trying to figure out what is going on. I am seeing online that this is not exclusive to Toyotas. Many vehicles exhibit this issue. Instead of helping us fix it, we are suppose to pay mechanics (dealers or individuals), then the problem comes back. Seems no one really knows why this is happening. I've been an exclusive Toyota owner for years. It disappoints me that Toyota won't help.
