Consumer Description
BOTH HEADLIGHTS IN THE FRONT OF MY CAR HAVE BURNT OUT MULTIPLE TIMES AND IT HAPPENED AGAIN TODAY. ONE FIRST WENT OUT IN 2010 WHEN THE CAR HAD 35K MILES ON IT AND EACH LIGHT HAS BEEN REPLACED AT LEAST TWICE SINCE THEN EACH TIME COSTING $300-400. MOST RECENTLY THE REPLACEMENT LIGHTS HAVE NOT EVEN LASTED SIX MONTHS. THIS IS NOT ONLY EXPENSIVE AND A MAJOR ANNOYANCE BUT ALSO A SAFETY HAZARD WHEN DRIVING AT NIGHT. I FEEL THAT TOYOTA SHOULD PROVIDE A PROPER FIX FOR THIS PROBLEM AND COMPENSATE ME FOR THE MULTIPLE TIMES I HAVE NEEDED TO PAY FOR THE REPAIRS.
