Consumer Description

I OWN A 2006 TOYOTA PRIUS. THE FRONT HEADLIGHT ON THE DRIVERS SIDE, WHICH IS AN HID LAMP, WORKS ONLY INTERMITTENTLY. THERE IS NO PATTERN AS TO WHEN IT WORKS AND DOESN'T, AND OFTEN I DO NOT KNOW WHEN THE PROBLEM IS OCCURRING BECAUSE I CAN'T SEE THE HEADLAMP (UNLESS I CAN SEE THE REFLECTION ON THE BACK OF ANOTHER CAR). OBVIOUSLY, THIS IS A SAFETY CONCERN. I TOOK THE CAR IN FOR SERVICE AT MY DEALER AND THEY SAID THAT TOYOTA KNOWS ABOUT THE PROBLEM BUT REFUSES TO FIX IT AS A DEFECT IN THE HEADLAMP. *TR
