2016 TOYOTA CAMRY Exterior Lighting Problems

The engine quit running whenever the headlights, turn signals, or wipers were turned on. This was obviously a serious safety problem when driving! It began intermittently on 6/30/25, but it became a consistent problem by 7/7/25, so I took the car to the closest Toyota Dealership for evaluation. I can provide their service report to you if requested. It took them 6 hours and $1000 to diagnose the problem as bad electrical grounding points (high resistance), which were only revealed after they removed the front bumper. In my opinion, it is an unsafe design to have poor grounding for headlights cause the engine to die.

HEADLIGHTS KEEP GOING OFF AND ON, L DON'T DRIVE AT NIGHT MOSTLY TILL RECENTLY, L TOOK IT TO TOYOTA DEALER. THEY GAVE ME ESTIMATE ABOUT $600.00 TO FIT IT .CLAIMING, I NEEDS REPLACING HEADLIGHT STALK/SWITCH(FOUND HEADLIGHT STOCK/SWITCH OPEN CIRCUT). THE MILEAGE ON MY CAR JUST 21,103. ALSO, THIS MY 3RD TOYOTA, AND USED THEM MORE THAN TEN YEARS WITH THIS PROBLEM, THIS MUST BE MANUFACTURAL DEFAULT, AND FIND OUT THAT, SOME ARE RE-CALL FOR SOME CAMRY 2016. PLEASE. SOMETHING SHOULD BE DONE ABOUT THIS

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2016 TOYOTA CAMRY. WHILE DRIVING ON A DARK ROAD, THE HEADLIGHTS ILLUMINATED DIMLY AND MADE IT DIFFICULT FOR THE CONTACT TO SEE THE ROAD. THE FAILURE RECURRED NUMEROUS TIMES. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED NOR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 1,800. THE VIN WAS NOT PROVIDED.
