Consumer Description

DRIVER'S SIDE HEADLIGHT WENT OUT IN 2015 AND WAS REPLACED BY LOCAL MECHANIC. BEFORE IT WENT OUT IT HAD FLICKERED BUT CAME BACK ON. I WAS DRIVING AT NIGHT WHEN IT WENT OUT AND WAS PULLED OVER BY POLICE. FORTUNATELY I ONLY GOT A WARNING. MARCH 2016 THE HEADLIGHT WENT OUT AGAIN (I NOTICED IT IN MY DRIVEWAY) AND WAS REPLACED AT A TOYOTA DEALERSHIP ON 21 MARCH 2016. THAT VERY DAY, THE HEADLIGHT WENT OUT AGAIN (NOTICED IT IN MY DRIVEWAY). IT WOULD COME ON PERIODICALLY BUT KEPT GOING OUT. 25 MARCH 2016 THE TOYOTA DEALERSHIP REPLACED THE "COMPUTER SUB-ASSY, H" FOR $458.52. 28 MARCH 2016, THE HEADLIGHT IS OUT AGAIN (NOTICED IT AGAIN IN MY DRIVEWAY).
