I purchased my 2022 Venza two weeks ago. I am concerned with the safety of the headlights. When driving at night (especially in my rural area) there are shadows that are projected onto the road, trees, and shoulder of the road. They are very distracting and make you focus only on the shadows instead of the road. These shadows do disappear when the high beams are on, but continue to be an issue when the regular headlights are on. Toyota is well aware of the concerns but is unwilling to recall or change the design as these were an issue in the 2021 Venza and Sienna models. I have contacted my salesperson and the service department of two dealerships. One dealer dismissed my concerns and wasn't even willing to look at the lights. The dealership I purchased it from is willing to look, but basically said that's just the way the lights are. This is a HUGE safety issue and a complete design flaw. If I would have known of these lights, I would NOT have purchased this model.

Higher-selling and older vehicles accumulate more reports. Counts are not failure rates and are not directly comparable between vehicles that sold in very different numbers.
