Consumer Description

SINCE WE HAD PURCHASE OUR CAR PRIUS V FOUR WITH DRL (DAY RUNNING LIGHTS)(VERTICAL LED UNIT IN BUMPER) THEY NEVER WORKED PROPERLY-HENCE NOT VISIBLE IN OUR ACCIDENT.. UNLIKE OTHER EARLIER MODELS THE USER COULD ADJUST THE SENSOR AND TURN THIS FEATURE ON OR OFF-BUT NOW THE FEATURE CAN ONLY BE PERFORMED BY A TOYOTA SERVICE MECHANIC. THE FEATURE ALSO OPERATES OFF A DAY LIGHT SENSOR THAT ALSO CANNOT BE ADJUSTED BY THE OWNER OF THE VEHICLE. HENCE SINCE THIS IS A SAFETY FEATURE NOTED IN FAQ ON TOYOTAS SITE IT SHOULD BE CONSIDERED FOR A RECALL.
