NHTSA Complaint #11071965 — 2008 TOYOTA PRIUS

THE RIGHT HEADLIGHT GOES OFF WHILE I AM RIDING. I TOOK IT TO THE DEALER AND THEY CAN'T FIND ANYTHING WRONG. WHEN THE LIGHT GOES OUT AND I TURN THE LIGHT SWITCH OFF AND THEN TURN IT BACK ON. THE LIGHT COMES ON. THEN IT WILL GO OUT AGAIN AFTER DRIVING FOR A WHILE. I HAVE BEEN STOPPED BY THE POLICE. I EXPLAINED TO THE OFFICER AND HE TOLD ME THAT I HAD TO GET IT FIXED OR DON'T DRIVE THE CAR AT NIGHT. I CAN'T TELL IF THE LIGHT IS ON OR OFF WHILE DRIVING UNLESS I COME UP BEHIND ANOTHER CAR AND SEE THE REFLECTION. I ALWAYS CHECK THE LIGHT WHEN I START MY TRIPS AND IT IS ALWAYS ON. I HEARD THAT ONE GENTLEMAN PAID UP TO $2600.00 FOR REPAIRS DO TO THE SAME THING. HE STILL HAS THE PROBLEM. CAN SOME ONE PLEASE HELP ME AND OTHER TOYOTA OWNERS. I CAN'T AFFORD TO PAY AA DEALER TO EXPERIMENT WITH THE CAR AND I CAN'T AFFORD ANOTHER CAR AT THIS TIME. I'M 71 YEARS OLD AND RETIRED ON A FIXED INCOME.
