The headlights on my RAV4 do not shine far enough in front of the vehicle and have a straight line cut off at top of beam. While driving in rural areas of the California foothills this issue is dangerous. As you go up and down and wind around rural roads you cannot see far enough ahead to see what might be lurking in the dark. We've had this car Since August 2nd 2025, 3500 miles to date and don't believe it is safe to drive at night on winding roads. The lack of visibility in front of you gives you the desire to slow way down below safe speed limits because you can't see out infront of you. LIving in the foothills for many years with deer, other animals or fallen rocks, it has become very scary driving at night with our new RAV4. Searching for other consumer opinions I have found many online forums with simular experiences, suggesting going to the dealership to have the headlights aimed hirer. This would change the stock legal safety settings and I'm afraid of possible legal reprocusions if we get into an accident. I have gone to my Facebook RAV4 group also to ask if anyone else has had this problem. It was unanimous, this is an issue with everyone. Others stated they won't drive at night. I also have a GMC truck and a stock unaltered, low to the ground 2017 Chevy Volt. I've never experience this issue with any other vehicles, present or past.
