NHTSA Complaint #10910098 — 2010 TOYOTA PRIUS

THE LOW BEAM HEAD LIGHTS CONSTANTLY BURN OUT. MY CAR IS AT 108,500 MILES, AND I HAVE REPLACED THE LOW BEAM BULBS AT LEAST 5 TIMES IN THE LAST 3 YEARS. I HAVE HAD THIS OCCUR WHILE DRIVING ON THE INTERSTATE 5. ANOTHER DRIVER ON THE HIGHWAY FLASHED LIGHTS AT ME, PULLED UP NEXT TO ME, TO INDICATE THAT MY LIGHTS WERE OUT. I HAD TO DRIVE WITH THE HIGH BEAMS ON FOR OVER 20 MILES. IT WAS A VERY DANGEROUS SITUATION, BECAUSE IT WAS BLINDING TO OTHER DRIVERS. HOWEVER, IF I HAD NOT DONE THIS, I WOULD HAVE BEEN DRIVING WITH NO LIGHTS AT ALL. THIS HAS HAPPENED TO ME THREE TIMES AFTER REPLACING THE BULBS, WHICH WILL LAST FOR A WHILE ,BUT QUICKLY STOP WORKING. I HAVE OWNED SEVERAL CARS AND HAVE NEVER HAD TO REPLACE THE HEADLIGHTS EVEN ONCE.
