Recently reported VISIBILITY/WIPER problems on 2017 Toyota RAV4

I had to visit toyota because my radio will turn on by itself, when i park. even after visiting toyota for an update, my radio will change on its own, not from the steering wheel) but on its own.so it is not fixed. wipers will turn on then stop. there seems to be a device behind the dash that i can hear clicking on and off well after the ignition is off or while the car is idle for a bit. my climate control changes on its on even though it works fine most of the time. it is as if my car is receiving additional commands from another source. last week, at night, i witnessed two men standing in the middle of the street, somehow activating car alarms from random cars. just yesterday, not far from where i live a driver "lost control" and ran into two homes. the driver was thrown from the car, while the car and the house caught on fire, that was strange to hear about. if there is something that can be done for my car, please let me know what to do. thank you.

This is a potential accident the seals that are built into the door window guides are not effective. when the outside windows are foggy or wet, the built-in squeegee does not wipe off the window as they have in every other car. this creates a hazard as you cannot see to change lanes or back out of the driveway. i reported this to the local toyota dealer and the refused to correct this thank you

Road visibility at night using low beam headlights. when low beams are used at night there is a define dark portion of the windshield about center (horizonally) the area below the line is lit but the area above is completely black. the distance you can see is less than 300 ft and reduces down to 50 75 ft when going down hill. every thing above the lit line is completely black. the lighting system is halogen and is completely unsafe to drive at night without using the high beams..dealers have refused to address problem with other owners.

Tl* the contact owns a 2017 toyota rav4. while driving approximately 30 mph, the windshield darkened and made it difficult to see the road. the contact checked the owners manual and found that the vehicle was equipped with safety sense, which darkened the windshield at night to protect the driver from the glare of oncoming headlights. the manufacturer and dealer were contacted (piercey toyota in milpitis, ca) where the sales manager stated that it was not a known issue. the contact was unable to get assistance. the failure mileage was 350.

My 2017 rav4 is not safe to drive at night. the car is a lease and was brand new when i got it. it had less than 100 miles, when this started happening. when i have my headlights on at night they seem to cap off. this allows me to only see through the bottom half of my windshield. the upper half goes pitch black. it is extremely unsafe because it impairs my vision. this is a reoccurring event and happens when the car is in motion. it started in november of 2016, and i have stopped driving at night because of how dangerous it is.
