2016 Toyota PRIUS C Exterior Lighting Problems, Complaints and Defects

Issue ID	1344905
Internal NHTSA #	10938581
Manufacurer	Toyota Motor Corporation
Brand	TOYOTA
Model	PRIUS C
Model Year	2016
File date	23/12/16
Component	EXTERIOR LIGHTING
Product type code	VEHICLE
Description of the problem	At night on dark streets with no other lighting, you cannot see to drive unless you use high beams. There is a line across the windshield; a horizon. You can see below that horizon (a thin area), but it's black above it, making it very hard to see. Visibility is only a few feet. I contacted toyota and the sales and management team claim that they have never heard of such a thing. I contacted service and was told that this is normal. There is no fix. I am demanding that my headlights be aimed higher in hopes that i can see to drive. If this does not fix the problem, this car cannot be driving at night. It is not safe to drive with such low visibility. I was driving very slowly and still felt that i should have just stopped.
