2014 Toyota Corolla Lights Problems

The Radio/Display is in a never-ending updating loop and the screen becomes very bright at the start of the update loop. In which cause temporary blindness at night while driving.

The contact owns a 2014 Toyota Corolla equipped with four Bridgestone Tires, Tires Line: Eldorado, Tire Size: 21545R17, and DOT Nuber: N/A. The contact stated that the tire pressure warning light was illuminated. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic who informed her there was internal tire wear. The local dealer was not contacted. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was not notified. The vehicle mileage was approximately 100,000. The tire mileage was unknown.

PASSENGER SIDE LOW BEAM IS DIM. HIGH BEAM WORKS FINE. HAD MECHANIC REPLACE ENTIRE HEADLAMP WITH NO IMPROVEMENT

REAR END COLLISION HAZARD DUE TO DEFECTIVE, POORLY DESIGNED, AUTOMATIC HEADLIGHT SYSTEMS. ALMOST GOT REAR ENDED TWICE DUE TO LACK OF TAIL LIGHTS, WHILE IN MOTION, DRIVING! TOYOTA CLAIMS THE 2014 COROLLA HAS AUTO HEADLIGHTS. WHILE THE SWITCH IS KEPT IN "DRL" DAYTIME RUNNING LIGHT MODE THE CAR TRICKS YOU AT NIGHT INTO THINKING THE AUTO HEADLIGHT, SIDE MARKERS AND TAILLIGHTS ARE ON AFTER STARTING THE CAR, WHEN THEY ARE NOT ON. YOU START THE CAR AND THE HEADLIGHTS, AND DASH GAGE LIGHTS COME ON BUT NOTHING ELSE IS LIT. NO TAILIGHTS, NO SIDE LIGHTS. I AM TOLD BY THE DEALER CANADIAN VERSIONS OF THE COROLLA HAVE TRUE AUTO HEADLIGHTS AND MY CAR WOULD HAVE TO BE PROGRAMMED TO WORK AS AN AUTO SYSTEM, AFTER ADDING THE DASH SENSOR. I AM REQUESTING TOYOTA DO THIS TO CORRECT THIS SAFETY HAZARD TO AVOID A REAR END COLLISION ON THIS CAR. ALL OF MY CARS THE LAST 20 YRS HAD AUTO HEADLIGHTS AND WORKED FLAWLESSLY EXCEPT THIS TOYOTA COROLLA. I EVEN PUT A NOTE ON THE DASH TO REMIND ME TO MANUALLY TURN THE LIGHT SWITCH ON, BUT IT IS NOT SEEN IN THE DARK WHEN STARTING THE CAR. I DO NOT KNOW WHAT ELSE TO DO OTHER THAN APPEAL TO THE NHTSA FOR A COMPLETE REVIEW OF THIS MAJOR MANUFACTURER FLAW.

HEADLIGHT IS ONE ASSEMBLY AND COST SO MUCH TO REPLACE THAT'S WHY WHEN THE BULBS GETS BURNT OUT OWNERS WILL JUST WAIT UNTIL THE OTHER ONE GETS BURNT ALSO BECAUSE IT IS TOO EXPENSIVE TO REPLACE THE WHOLE ASSEMBLY NOT LIKE OTHER CARS THAT YOU CAN REPLACE THE BULBS FOR LESS THAN $5.00 BUT WITH THIS CAR IT IS LIKE $250 TO REPLACE A BURNT HEADLIGHT. PEOPLE WHO DRIVE THIS COROLLA'S ARE TAKING THEIR RISK SPECIALLY AT NIGHT DRIVING WITHOUT SUFFICIENT LIGHTS BECAUSE IT IS TOO EXPENSIVE TO REPLACE. PLEASE CHECK ON THIS, THANKS.

WHILE DRIVING AT NIGHT, WITH LOW BEAMS ON, ONCOMING TRAFFIC WILL FLASH THEIR HEADLIGHTS. THIS HAS HAPPENED NUMEROUS TIMES WITH SOME ONCOMING TRAFFIC TURNING ON THEIR HIGH BEAMS AND LEAVING THEM ON AS THEY APPROACH OUR CAR. I HAVE CHECKED TO MAKE SURE THAT LOW BEAMS ARE ON WHEN THERE IS ONCOMING TRAFFIC. I HAVE HAD THE TOYOTA DEALER CHECK THE HEADLIGHT ADJUSTMENT TWICE. THEIR RESPONSE IS THAT THE HEADLIGHTS ARE ADJUSTED TO SPEC. WE ARE HESITANT TO DRIVE THE CAR AT NIGHT BECAUSE OF THE COMPLAINTS WE HAVE RECEIVED ABOUT THE HEADLIGHTS.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 TOYOTA COROLLA. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE HEADLIGHTS WERE EQUIPPED WITH AN OUTER SHIELD THAT CAUSED THE LIGHT BEAMS TO PRODUCE DIM VISIBILITY. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 11,000.
