Consumer Description

I OWN AND OPERATE A 2007 TOYOTA PRIUS. TO DATE I HAVE BEEN EXTREMELY SATISFIED WITH THE VEHICLE. HOWEVER, RECENTLY I HAVE BEEN EXPERIENCING INTERMITTENT FAILURE OF MY PASSENGER HEADLIGHT AND OCCASIONALLY THE BRAKE LIGHT ON THE PASSENGER SIDE. THIS IS A SAFETY CONCERN BECAUSE I DO NOT KNOW WHEN THE LIGHT IS ON OR OFF. THE OTHER DAY I WAS PULLED OVER BY THE POLICE AND RECEIVED A REPAIR ORDER. THE COST FROM THE DEALER TO REPLACE THE BULB IS $535.00, APPARENTLY THIS IS MAINTENANCE AND A NON WARRANTY ITEM. PERSONALLY I THINK THERE IS A DESIGN FLAW IF IT REQUIRES A MECHANIC TO CHANGE A LIGHTBULB. I AM POSTING A MESSAGE HERE IN HOPES THAT THIS WILL CONVERT INTO A SAFETY RECALL. I AM GOING TO WORK WITH THE DEALER AND TOYOTA TO TRY AND GET THIS REPAIR COVERED. WISH ME LUCK! *TR
