| Description of the problem | My 2017 rav4 is not safe to drive at night. The car is a lease and was brand new when i got it. It had less than 100 miles, when this started happening. When i have my headlights on at night they seem to cap off. This allows me to only see through the bottom half of my windshield. The upper half goes pitch black. It is extremely unsafe because it impairs my vision. This is a reoccurring event and happens when the car is in motion. It started in november of 2016, and i have stopped driving at night because of how dangerous it is. |
