Owner report 11456343 · 2022-03-11 (March 11, 2022)
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 …

Shutter mechanism for the projector headlights, when closed it causes a shadow across half of the field of vision. This severely hampers the field of vision and causes serious safety concerns while driving at night.

Owner report 11498897 · 2022-12-26 (December 26, 2022)
The outside mirrors did not open, maybe weather related. The outside temperature registered 15 degrees or lower. In Pennsylvania and other states require outside mirrors for the deaf and hard of hearing. Two dual mirrors are required, placing disabled drivers, passengers, pedestrians and other drivers at risk. There should be a recall on vehicles with similar mirrors that automatically do not open. John Ramos

My 2022 Toyota Venza Hybrid experienced a sudden acceleration when I was pulling very slowly into my relative's garage driveway while my foot was still on the brake pedal.

The wall inside the garage was also damaged. No alarm/warnings were…
