Consumer Description

I WAS PULLED OVER BY THE POLICE, (WHILE ON A VILLAGE STREET) BECAUSE MY HEADLIGHT BULB WAS BURNED OUT. (AGAIN!) I HAVE HAD 4 HEADLIGHT BULBS REPLACED ON THE 2011 PRIUS AND IT IS ONLY 4 YEARS OLD! TOYOTA HAS A TECHNICAL SERVICE BULLETIN ON THE WIRING HARNESS, THAT SHORTS OUT THE BULBS PREMATURELY, BUT NO RECALL. PLEASE RECALL THE PRIUS FOR THE WIRING HARNESS, SO I CAN STOP GETTING PULLED OVER BY THE POLICE! 09\15 THANK YOU! *TR
