| Description of the problem | Just bought my new toyota rav 4 2018 and realized that i can't drive it at night. My windshield turns dark 1/3 to 1/2 from the bottom and continues all the way to the top. It's actually worse when driving home and going up my unlit hill when instead of my brights going on automatically, only my low lights are on. I am frightened to drive my car and now realize that there were online complaints going back years! |
