Description of the problem	The car is equipped with auto high beams. Which do not function properly. On monday, march 26,2017, my wife was driving to work in the early morning. She had the auto high beam setting on and the headlights flashed from low to high and back several times, while she was following a car. The sensors did not recognize there was a car in front of her. At other times, while driving with the auto selection on the indicator on the dash just vanishes and will not reset unless you manually turn on the high beams, then turn them back to auto. This was one of the selling points of the car that toyota advertises, but it does not work as it should. Unfortunately in this day and age, this may cause a road rage incident, if the driver in front of the vehicle gets agitated. I contacted toyota corporate, but i feel as if this was a waste of my time. The dealership thinks the setting is too sensitive, but there is no way to adjust the sensitivity. So basically i was told don't use it. It was set when i left the dealership yesterday and the auto indicator just vanished from the dash.
