Consumer Description

THREE TIMES IN THE PAST 12 MONTHS I HAVE HAD MY ONE OR THE OTHER OF MY HEADLIGHTS DIM AND GO OUT. THE FIRST TIME I REPLACED BOTH HEADLIGHTS ASSUMING THE LIGHT NEEDED TO BE REPLACED SO I SHOULD JUST DO BOTH. IT HAS OCCURRED TWO ADDITIONAL TIMES AND FINALLY, LAST NIGHT, I RETURNED TO MY PARKED CAR TO DISCOVER BOTH HEADLIGHTS WERE OUT. I WAS FORCED TO DRIVE HOME SWITCHING BETWEEN HIGH BEAMS AND NO LIGHTS. REPLACING BULBS EVERY FEW MONTHS SEEMS EXCESSIVE. LOSING HEADLIGHTS IN THE DARK IS DANGEROUS. THIS PROBLEM NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED BY TOYOTA AND A RECALL NEEDS TO BE INITIATED.
