Consumer Description

MY 2010 TOYOTA PRIUS BEGAN HAVING CHRONIC PROBLEMS WITH EXTERIOR LIGHT GOING OUT, STARTING IN MAY 2016 AND PERSISTING UNTIL NOW (NOVEMBER 2016). WE HAVE REPLACE THE BULBS REPEATEDLY JUST TO HAVE THEM GO OUT AGAIN. I CONSIDER THIS A VERY DANGEROUS PROBLEM, AND MAKES THIS VEHICLE UNRELIABLE. DEALERSHIP DENIES A SYSTEM FAILURE AND SUGGESTS TO REPLACE BULBS WITH EXPENSIVE ONES. THIS DOES NOT REMEDY THE PR OBLEM.
