Owner report 11578800 · 2024-03-21 (March 21, 2024)
When driving at night with headlights on low beam the driver’s side headlight casts a distracting shadow on the road. Not only does this shadow prevent full illumination of the roadway, limiting visibility on the driver’s side, but the shadow can also make it look like an obstacle might be in the road. This shadow is not there when the bright lights are on. I have had this vehicle since Dec. 15, 2023 & I have had two different Toyota service departments check this out. They both told me there is no fix for the shadow. I also spoke with Toy…

Owner report 11591493 · 2024-05-30 (May 30, 2024)
I am trying to locate any information and updates on my second key fob that was not received at the time of the purchase of my car. Every month I talk with Toyota they say by the end of this month you should receive your letter, so the end of the month passes and I reach out to toyota and they state it was pushed back to the end of this month and so on. I am getting very upset especially when you purchase a $50,000.00 automobile. I can't find any discussions on the Venza key fob shortage but there are discussions on every other model of Toyo…

Headrest notches for the rear passenger and rear driver side seats are machined improperly, causing them to lift completely out of the seat unless latched at the very lowest setting.
