While on highway or city street at times the radio and panel lights flicker and the sound system goes off and will not return till I stop the vehicle and turn it off then once I start the engine the sound system will come on once again. Also at times the high beams will take a while to come on. The rear diir will not open in automatic must be hand forced. The rear suspension is as it does not exist

Head lights are very low. Cannot see anything on the road if the street lights are not there. There is not use of head lights as it cannot bring any visibility during night time which makes night drives nearly impossible. I have shown the vehicle to toyota service center and they said everything is good and he cannot increase the intensity of light. High beams are working fine but cannot drive in the city while turning them on. Not sure how to solve this problem.

We purchased a toyota rav4 with a 100% o.k. From toyota dealer four weeks and 200 miles after parking in the garage the next morning it would not start several try's later it barley started, I am a retired mechanic, the headlights were normal bright with horn honking, the dealer told my wife the battery had 0 cranking amps they installed a new 80 month toyota battery,. My problem is safety issues going to the internet and searching toyota problems battery's, electrical shorts, electrical fires, stopping unexpectedly loss of steering, electric wire burn smell, I could go on my point is everything is tied together electrical issue with wiring shorts ! I don't want to sound like an alarmist but it might sound that way, something is causing all the issues with early battery failure, as a mechanic 50 years I have seen this before and almost always it is a electrical short some ware in the system, and in some vehicles you no longer have throttle cables or linkage you have electric assist meaning a motor or some kind of pressure sensitive device that can short and inadvertently cause the vehicle to stop or cause the vehicle to advance full throttle with no way to stop! I'm hoping some one will read this that can help put our minds to rest or please look into this issue, I am afraid for my wife and all loved ones driving these vehicles.
