2023 Toyota Corolla Cross lights problems

Filed Sep 23, 2025 · Lights · NY

Safety hazard! Taillights are poorly designed: not clearly visable at night(bad weather) for the vehicles behind. I was almost rearended at night because of this; as the person behind me, told me. They need to be on the back of vehicle for proper visualization for vehicle behind. You can only see the back tailights at night if your on the side of the vehicle. That is a dangerous situation for motorists.

Dark spots on the road with the LED headlights on low beam. This is very distracting and causes me to focus on the dark spots. Very dangerous when driving on winding roads at night. A lot of deer on and on the side of the rural roads and the dark spots take my focus away.

There is an issue with the head lights. There are shadows in the lenses or covers that create a distraction while you are driving. I was told that Toyota did it not to have lights go into on coming cars but they make it hard for the driver to see also because it makes it look like something is in the road. I feel that they should change this cause it's a not to good of a design and it could cause a accident. Thanks

The rear running lights on my new Toyota Corolla Cross Hybrid SE were not working as they were wired improperly from the factory. I was pulled over by a policeman driving at night because my car was not visible at night due to the lack of running lights. This is very dangerous as this is a factory defect that can cause rear end collisions! I immediately made an appointment with Toyota and the dealer told me upon thorough inspection that it was a factory defect. I was given a loaner car as my car is unsafe to drive. However it is taking Toyota a very long time to fix the problem. I believe that many other Toyota Corolla Cross cars have this wiring defect and that these are accidents waiting to happen! Thank God that policeman pulled me over and notified me as it may have saved me from a serious accident. I believe that all Toyota Corolla Cross SE 2023 should be recalled to have the rear running lights inspected!

When driving at night the illumination from the headlights is very poor. I can only see about 1/3 of the way up on the windshield and only a short distance in front of the car. Everything else is black. I am leasing the car for three years but I can't drive it at night it's too dangerous. Even if I use highbeams it is difficult to see. Both of my adult children have driven the car and come to the same conclusion. I brought it back to the dealership and they said the lights were adjusted properly to pass inspection. The only solution they had for me was to find someone to put in different bulps. They said they could not do it and if I did not buy it at the end I'd have to put the old bulbs back in. I have seen several other people on the internet that have exactly the same problem.

Driving at night with low beam headlights there is a very distinct shadow that shows up especially on curves. The shadow moves back and forth on the curves. Dealer says that is normal but it's really scary when it happens
