NHTSA Complaint #10473249 — 2008 TOYOTA PRIUS

ON 09JUL2012 4:00 P.M WHILE DRIVING MY PRIUS 2008 HYBRID, HEADING HOME ON I15N, THE ELECTRIC POWER ON THE VEHICLE SHUTDOWN WITHOUT ANY PREVIOUS WARNING, OR ALERT. I IMMEDIATELY MANEUVERED THE VEHICLE TO THE RIGHT SHOULDER OF THE HIGHWAY. IMMEDIATELY CALLED AAA FOR A TOWING INTO TOYOTA OF ESCONDIDO, LOCATED ON 231 LINCOLN PARKWAY, ESCONDIDO, CA 92026 PH# (760) 746-0674. TODAY 09/01/2012 - CURRENTLY EXPERIENCING PROBLEMS WITH INTERMITTENT HID HEADLIGHT OPERATION: I'VE GOT A PACKAGE 6 2006 PRIUS. ONE OF THE HEADLIGHTS KEEPS GOING OUT. I CAN'T REALLY TELL WHEN OR HOW IT GOES OUT SINCE I CAN'T SEE IT. I'LL NOTICE IT WHEN I SEE THE REFLECTION IN THE BACK OF ANOTHER CAR. IF I TURN THE BRIGHT LIGHTS ON AND OFF IT HAS NO EFFECT, BUT WHEN I TURN THEM ALL THE WAY OFF AND BACK ON THE LIGHT COMES BACK. REQUEST A SAFETY RECALL FOR TOYOTA TO TAKE CARE OF THE ELECTRICAL CORRECTIVE ACTIONS. *TR
