| Description of the problem | From the drivers position the front of the vehicle can't be seen. I missed three corners at night because i can't determine where the front of the vehicle is and i will no longer drive it at night. I consider this to be a lethally dangerous design flaw and demand that the 2015 rav4 be removed from the roads until toyota redesigns the front hood, lights and dash areas so the driver can see where the front of the vehicle is. Ps. I'm 5'7" tall and should be able to see the front of any vehicle i'm driving. |
