Consumer Description
ABOUT SIX MONTHS AFTER PURCHASING MY 2006 TOYOTA PRIUS THE HEADLIGHTS STARTING GOING OUT WHILE I WAS DRIVING. I TOOK IT IN TO THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY REPLACED THE BULB. THEY HAD SAID THAT THEY HAD NEVER HEARD OF THIS BEFORE. THE LIGHTS WORKED FOR ABOUT TWO MONTHS THEN OCCASIONALLY WOULD GO OUT AGAIN. NOW THAT MY WARRANTY HAS RUN OUT THEY ARE GOING OUT EVERY TIME I DRIVE THE CAR. THIS IS A REAL SAFETY ISSUE. WHEN YOU TURN THE SWITCH OFF AND THEN ON AGAIN THEY COME ON FOR AWHILE THEN TURN OFF AGAIN. THEY HAVE NEVER NOT COME ON, BUT DRIVERS IN FRONT OF YOU GET A BIT UPSET WHEN YOU START FLASHING YOUR HEADLIGHTS BEHIND THEM! I'VE NOTICED ON LINE THAT THIS IS A COMMON ISSUE ON THE PRIUS. I HOPE THAT YOU CAN FORCE TOYOTA TO RECALL AND REPAIR THIS ISSUE. *TR
