2007 TOYOTA PRIUS Exterior Lighting Problems

I CANT SEE THE ROAD. Who is in charge of allowing these new bright LED headlights? They make it very hard to see where I’m driving when they’re eye level with my car!! So all I see is a bunch of LED lights coming straight at me, which is very unacceptable because now I can’t see the road. Making it a very obvious safety concern which is weird when I thought the government is supposed to be preventing stuff like this from happening. What the heck

The lights spontaneously turned off while driving on a cloudy night on an unlit section of interstate. While slowing the car down, it went onto gravel, semi-circled around and flipped over onto the lower median. No air bag deployed. No protection from shoulder seat belt. Head hit steering wheel, and I briefly lost consciousness. Tests showed skull and cervical fractures. The car was "totaled." I was planning a move. Now I consider myself to be lucky to be alive. I am rewriting because of previous a NHTSA computer malfunction changing a serious injury to "NO" injury on the questionnaire.

Both headlights failed, one earlier, then the second, on a cloudy night on an unlit, deserted rural stretch of interstate highway. Driver started slowing down from 60 mph, looking for a place to pull over. An accident resulted--only the defective car was involved. No airbag was deployed. The driver was injured. (Full recovery--months.) The car was totaled.

Toyota North America failed to notify me of the latent defect in the Headlight Operating System. I have had ongoing issues with the flickering of the lights for multiple years. I finally saved up enough money to try and fix the problem and spent $2854.34. After multiple failed attempts to get the problem fixed and having both headlights shut off simultaneously, I went to Alexandria Toyota in Virginia on October 20,2022 to get the problem diagnosed. The Automobile Status Report showed that the failed headlights were a direct result of the latent defect in the Headlight Operating System that was repaired free of charge in two separate Support Programs; one that ended in 2012, and the other in 2013. When I contacted Customer Support Service on October 24, 2022, to inquire when Toyota contacted me and where they sent the Support Program Information regarding the headlight issue, none of the...

Driver side light intermittently shut off until I turn the lights off and then they come back on for a little while and then I have to repeat the process

I was driving and all of my dashboard lights disappeared, I couldn't see anything. I was suddenly driving blind. I pulled over but the car would not turn off. I tried again and again, but it would just not turn off. I called Toyota corporate they asked how far I was to a Toyota dealer and told me to take it there immediately. They gave me a case number 220322000191. When I got to the dealer, they said I would have to pay $150 for a diagnosis. I left it there and am now reporting this. There should be a recall on these vehicles, this is extremely dangerous.

instrument cluster panel goes completely out and blank, speedometer lost, and dash lights gone and causing other issues such as not being able to turn off vehicle, loss of cruise control, unable to open trunk, navigation screen unable to turn off, backup camera not functioning, front lights going on and off while driving at night.

Front right light keeps going out, if I turn it off and turn it back on it works. Had the bulb replaced, still having issues.

Under hard braking (over 50% of the pedal) the front passenger wheel applies all the force to stop the car to that one tire causing it to lose traction and skid. Brakes are insufficient to properly stop the vehicle and no warning lights are illuminated on the dash. Actually more than half of the time the whole dash does nothing, no MPH, no gas gauge, nothing but a blacked out information less panel. Then to top it off the car only has one headlight bc it blows what ever headlight I put into the ballast. 3 of the most common failures for a 2007 and my Prius has a grand slam assortment of serious potential life threatening problems that should have been repaired (never should have been assembled with) by Toyota. Minor wreck when attempting to stop the car under not driving conditions. Thankfully no one was hurt and only...

DRIVER SIDE HEADLIGHT WHEN TURNED ON RANDOMLY GOES OFF I HAVE TO TURN THE LIGHTS OFF AGAIN AND THEN IT TURNS BACK ON BUT A LOT OF TIMES IT'LL KEEP TURNING OFF. IT'S BEEN DOING THIS FOR YEARS. I RARELY DRIVE MY CAR ONLY HAS 35K MILES ON IT.

2007 PRIUS 144K MILES WHEN PROBLEM 1ST OCCURRED. CAR SERVICED REGULARLY - OIL CHANGED EVERY 3500 MILES. MASTER WARNING LIGHT WOULD COME ON RANDOMLY WHEN TURNING OR GOING UP/DOWN HILL AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS. COMPUTER DIAGNOSTICS RUN REPEATEDLY (AT TOYOTA AND AT LOCAL MECHANIC) NOTHING EVER FOUND. 12/2016 BROUGHT CAR TO TOYOTA SERVICE COULDN'T FIND ANYTHING INITIALLY. 2+ HOURS LATER TOLD OIL IS VERY LOW WHICH MADE NO SENSE; NO OIL SPOT IN GARAGE, CAR PASSED INSPECTION AND WASN'T DUE FOR AN OIL CHANGE . WAS TOLD THE 'OIL WARNING INDICATOR' WAS LIT DESPITE THE FACT THAT THE OIL WARNING LIGHT NEVER CAME ON. EVER. (OIL INDICATOR SHOULD COME ON WHEN CAR IS STARTED AND REMAIN ON -BRIEFLY IF THE OIL IS LOW. IT DOES NOT.) TOLD TECH THAT ONLY THE MASTER LIGHT COMES ON AND THE CIRCUMSTANCES. NEVER GIVEN AN EXPLANATION. PROBLEM HAS GOTTEN PROGRESSIVELY WORSE. MASTER INDICATOR ONLY COMES...

THE HEADLIGHTS KEEP BURNING OUT AND STOPS WORKING WITHOUT WARNING. *TR

HID LIGHTS GOING OFF WHILE DRIVING. ONE LIGHT INTERMITTENTLY GOING ON AND OFF. TURNING LIGHT SWITCH OFF AND THEN ON AGAIN TURNS THEM BACK ON. HAVE SEEN ONLINE NUMEROUS REPORTS OF THIS PROBEL

FOR A FEW MONTHS, THE LEFT HAND SIDE FRONT HEADLIGHT HAS GONE OUT, IF I TURN THE LIGHTS OFF AND THEN BACK ON AGAIN, IT COMES BACK ON. HOWEVER LAST NIGHT, WHILE DRIVING ON A DARK NC HIGHWAY BOTH LIGHTS WENT OUT. THEY CAME BACK ON WHEN I TURNED THE LIGHTS ON AN OFF AGAIN. THIS HAPPENED TWO MORE TIMES. IT IS CLEARLY A SAFETY ISSUE THAT I SEE MANY OTHER PRIUS OWNERS EXPERIENCE. IT IS ENTIRELY POSSIBLE BOTH LIGHTS HAVE BEEN GOING OUT FOR SOME TIME, SINCE DRIVING ON DARK COUNTRY HIGHWAYS AT 70 MPH IS NOT SOMETHING I REGULARLY DO.

HEADLIGHTS INTERMITTENTLY FAIL. SOMETIMES ONE HEADLIGHT WILL GO OUT AND OTHER TIMES BOTH. SO FAR, IF I DETECT ONE OR BOTH HEADLIGHTS ARE OUT, TURNING THE HEADLIGHT SWITCH OFF AND BACK ON WILL CORRECT THE PROBLEM. DEPENDING ON STREET LIGHTING, I AM NOT ALWAYS ABLE TO DETECT IF THE HEADLIGHTS ARE OFF UNTIL ANOTHER CAR FLASHES TO LET ME KNOW OR I ENTER A DARK ROADWAY WHERE IT BECOMES OBVIOUS.

SIMILAR TO THIS COMPLAINT (NHTSA ID NUMBER:11268053) I HAVE BEEN STRUGGLING TO KEEP BOTH OF MY HEADLIGHTS WORKING FOR OVER A YEAR NOW. I HAVE TRIED REPLACING THE LIGHTBULBS AND THE BALLASTS WITHOUT SUCCESS. BOTH THE REGULAR LIGHTS AND THE HIGH BEAMS TURN OFF ABOUT EVERY COUPLE OF MINUTES AND SOMETIMES FASTER. I DRIVE WITH ONE HAND ON THE SWITCH AND CONSTANTLY TURN THEM OFF THEN BACK ON IN ORDER TO GET WHERE I AM GOING. PLEASE HELP! I AM INTENDING TO GO TO THE TOYOTA DEALER BUT IT IS EXPENSIVE AND I BELIEVE THIS IS A FLAW IN THE VEHICLE. THIS PROBLEM OCCURS REGARDLESS OF WHETHER THE CAR IS IN MOTION OR NOT.

WHILE DRIVING PASSENGER SIDE HEADLIGHT WENT OUT. AFTER SEVERAL TRIES OF TURNING LIGHTS ON AND OFF, THE HEADLIGHT STAYED ON.IT CUTS OUT AT DIFFICULT TIMES LIKE DRIVING ON HIGHWAY. WORRIED POLICE MAY STOP ME. HAVE TRIED SEVERAL FIXES LIKE NEW HEADLIGHT ASSEMBLY, ETC.

WHILE DRIVING AT NIGHT, THE HEADLIGHTS WILL RANDOMLY TURN OFF. THIS IS DANGEROUS AND SCARY. PLEASE HELP!

ONE HEADLIGHT ON MY CAR KEEPS SHUTTING OFF, WHILE THE OTHER IS FINE. I AM ABLE TO "FIX" THE ISSUE BY TURNING MY HEADLIGHTS OFF AND THEN TURNING THEM ON AGAIN. DEALERS INITIALLY TOLD ME IT WAS BECAUSE THE BULB BURNED OUT, BUT I REPLACED BOTH AT THE SAME TIME, AND IT'S ALWAYS THE DRIVER'S SIDE BULB THAT "BURNS OUT." UPON FURTHER REVIEW ON PUBLIC FORUMS, IT APPEARS THE BULB IS PERFECTLY FINE AND THERE'S SOME TYPE OF ELECTRICAL ISSUE/CONNECTION PROBLEM THAT CAUSES PROBLEMS WITH THE BULB. THIS HAPPENS WHEN THE VEHICLE IS ON AND IN-MOTION ON ANY STREET.

HEADLIGHTS TURN OFF ON THEIR OWN WHILE DRIVING AT NIGHT. VERY DANGEROUS !!!

HEADLIGHTS GO OFF WITHOUT WARNING WHILE DRIVING AT NIGHT. VERY DANGEROUS!!

ONE HEADLIGHT TURNS OFF RANDOMLY. EVERY NOW AND AGAIN TURNING THE LIGHTS OFF AND ON AGAIN WILL FIX THE PROBLEM, BUT WHEN YOU'RE DRIVING 70MPH DOWN A DARK HIGHWAY YOU DON'T WANT TO HAVE TO KEEP YOUR FINGERS CROSSED THAT THE LIGHTS WILL COME BACK ON.

HEADLIGHTS FLICKER AND GO OUT EVEN AFTER REPLACING THE RIGHT HEADLIGHT THAT SEEMS TO BE THE PROBLEM. NOT SAFE TO BE GOING D DOWN ROAD AND HEADLIGHTS GO.OUT COMPLETELY. .IT HAS BEEN HAPPENING FOR.NEARLY 6.MONTHS. HAD HEADLIGHT REPLACED 3 MONTHS AGO.

SPORADICALLY, THE LIGHTS ON THE DASHBOARD WILL NOT LIGHT UP. WHEN THIS HAPPEN THE BACKUP CAMERA WILL NOT DISPLAY AS WELL. THIS DOESN'T HAPPEN OFTEN, BUT WHEN IT HAPPENS, IT IS A WHILE BEFORE THE THEY WILL DISPLAY.

TAKATA RECALL 1. DRIVING ON SURFACE STREET AT APPROX. 45 MPH ATTEMPTING TO SLOW DOWN FOR AN INTERSECTION ALL THE BRAKE WARNING LIGHTS CAME ON, WHILE I WAS APPLYING THE BRAKES THEY HAD FAILED, EVENTUALLY THE VEHICLE CAME TO A STOP. AFTER THAT INCIDENT THE BRAKES ARE WORKING NORMAL. APPARENTLY THERE WAS A RECALL TO ADDRESS THE ISSUE AND IT IS NO LONGER VALID, I WAS NEVER NOTIFIED OF THE RECALL AND THE DEALERSHIP THAT I PURCHASED THE VEHICLE FROM (USED) NEVER NOTIFIED ME OF ANY RECALLS. I AM A TOYOTA OWNER WITH A DEFECTED VEHICLE (A KNOWN DEFECT BY THE MANUFACTURE). WHAT ARE MY OPTIONS? 2. THE HEADLAMPS (LEFT) INTERMITTENTLY GOES OUT, I HAVE REPLACED THE LAMP, CHECKED THE FUSES AND IT STILL HAPPENS, OTHERS HAVE DESCRIBED LOOSING BOTH LAMPS. BOTH ISSUES ABOVE ARE SAFETY ISSUES THAT CAN CONTRIBUTE TO SERIOUS INJURY INCIDENTS. THESE SAFETY ISSUE NEEDS TO BE...

EVERY DAY THE HEADLIGHTS GO OUT RANDOMLY AT NIGHT. VERY DANGEROUS.

MY HEADLIGHT CONSISTENTLY FLICKERS ON AND OFF. I HAVE CHANGED MY BULB, BUT IT CONTINUES TO TURN OFF AT TIMES. FROM MY RESEARCH ONLINE, IT LOOKS LIKE THE 2007-2009 PRIUS MODELS WERE RECALLED DUE TO FAULTY HEADLIGHTS.

HEADLIGHTS CONSTANTLY GOING OUT WHILE DRIVING. I DO NOT OPERATE THE LIGHTS IN DAYTIME. IT'S A MAJOR FLAW AND PROBLEM WITH THIS 2006-2009 MODEL AND A SAFETY HAZARD. NOT TO MENTION I AM ALMOST ALWAYS SUBJECT TO POLICE ISSUES TICKETS AND FINES. I HAVE REPLACED MY BULBS COUNTLESS TIMES. THE LIGHTS GO OUT WHILE STATIONARY AND IN MOTION. ALWAYS ONE AT A TIME.

FRONT HEADLIGHT (BOTH) SOMETIMES ALL LIGHTS WILL GO OFF. MOST OF THE TIME IT IS ONE OR THE OTHER BUT I HAVE HAD IT HAPPEN WHERE BOTH COMPLETELY TURN OFF WHILE DRIVING. ON THE FREEWAY!!! THIS HAPPENS DAILY AND IVE EVEN BEEN PULLED OVER MORE THAN 3 TIMES DUE TO ME NOT KNOWING ABOUT A LIGHT OUT! TURNING ON AND OFF THE LIGHTS IS ONLY A TEMPORARY FIX!

WHILE DRIVING (IN MOTION), ONE HEADLIGHT (EITHER RIGHT OR LEFT) WILL SUDDENLY GO OFF. IF I TURN BOTH LIGHTS OFF AND BACK ON, THEY WILL BOTH COME BACK ON. BUT ONE OR THE OTHER MIGHT GO OFF AGAIN SOON AFTERWARDS. IT SOMETIMES HAPPENS ON SHORT TRIPS (A FEW BLOCKS) AND SOMETIMES ONLY AFTER DRIVING SEVERAL MILES. IT HAPPENS ON NEIGHBORHOOD STREETS AND ON THE HIGHWAY, WHILE GOING STRAIGHT. SOMETIMES IT HAPPENS AFTER A NOTICEABLE BUMP IN THE ROAD, BUT OTHER TIMES IT HAPPENS WHEN THE ROAD IS SMOOTH. IT HAPPENS AT SLOW SPEED (<30 MPH), MEDIUM, OR HIGHWAY SPEED.

ONE OF THE HEADLIGHTS KEEPS GOING OUT. I CAN'T REALLY TELL WHEN OR HOW IT GOES OUT SINCE I CAN'T SEE IT. I'LL NOTICE IT WHEN I SEE THE REFLECTION IN THE BACK OF ANOTHER CAR. IF I TURN THE BRIGHT LIGHTS ON AND OFF IT HAS NO EFFECT, BUT WHEN I TURN THEM ALL THE WAY OFF AND BACK ON THE LIGHT COMES BACK. SOMETIMES ON LONG TRIPS IT WILL STAY ON THE WHOLE TIME, SOMETIMES IT WON'T. SOMETIMES ON SHORT TRIPS IT WILL GO OUT, SOMETIMES IT WON'T. IT IS NOT AN EVENT I CAN MAKE HAPPEN

BOTH FRONT HEADLIGHTS FREQUENTLY TURN OFF AT THE SAME TIME WHILE DRIVING. TURNING THE LIGHTS OFF THEN ON FIXES THE ISSUE TEMPORARILY, UNTIL IT HAPPENS AGAIN A SHORT TIME LATER. THIS HAPPENS MULTIPLE TIMES PER HOUR.

SINCE ABOUT 3 MONTHS AFTER BUYING THIS, THE HEADLIGHTS WILL RANDOMLY GO OUT ALL THE TIME. I HAVE BEEN PULLED OVER COUNTLESS TIMES. IT'S A COMPLETE SAFETY HAZARD. IT'S NOT THE BULBS. IT'S THE UNDERLYING BALLASTS. WHICH I'M TOLD CAN COST UPWARDS OF $3K TO FIX. IT'S A LOT OF THEM FROM 2006-2009 MODELS. THEY WERE SUED OVER IT BUT THEY NEVER RECALLED IT. I BOUGHT MINE AFTER ALL THAT WAS LONG AND DONE SO I CAN'T DO ANYTHING ABOUT IT. IT'S A MANUFACTURER DEFAULT THAT THEY SHOULD FIX!

LEFT FRONT HEADLIGHT CONSISTENTLY FLICKERS OUT 5-10 MINUTES AFTER BEING TURNED ON. CAN SOMETIMES BE REIGNITED BY TOGGLING LIGHTS, BUT THEN TURNS OFF AGAIN.

I WAS DRIVING MY 2007 TOYOTA PRIUS IN THE MIDDLE OF THE NIGHT AND ALL OF THE SUDDEN ALL OF MY LIGHTS WENT OUT. I WAS IN THE MIDDLE OF A BUSY ROAD AND COULD NOT SEE ANYTHING AND DECIDE TO JUST PULL OFF THE ROAD AND HOPE NOT TO HIT ANYTHING BECAUSE I JUST WANTED TO GET OFF THE ROAD BEFORE I GOT HIT BY AN ONCOMING CAR. AFTER I GOT OFF THE ROAD FOR AWHILE I TRIED THE LIGHTS AND THEY BOTH WORKED. I TOOK MY PRIUS TO A STATE COLLEGE, PA DEALERSHIP AND THEY CHARGED ME $450.00 BECAUSE THEY SAID BOTH HEADLIGHTS WERE OUT. THE NEXT DAY AFTER I PICKED MY PRIUS FROM THE TOYOTA DEALERSHIP I WENT TO A GROCERY STORE AFTER WORK AND THE CAR WOULD NOT TURN OFF AND THE WHOLE DASHBOARD WAS BLACK.. I CALLED THE DEALERSHIP AND SAID THEY MUST HAVE CREATED...

HEADLIGHTS TURN OFF. GENERALLY ONE AT A TIME, NORMALLY THE DRIVERS SIDE BUT SOMETIMES IT IS BOTH HEADLIGHTS. THIS HAPPENS EACH TIME I DRIVE WITH MY HEADLIGHTS ON. I DRIVE AT NIGHT WITH THE HEADLIGHTS ON AT A MINIMUM OF 6 DAYS A WEEK BECAUSE OF WORK OR SCHOOL.

HEADLIGHTS ARE UNRELIABLE, THEY CAN GO OFF (ONE OR BOTH) AT ANY TIME. THIS PROBLEM IS WELL DOCUMENTED ON MANY INTERNET SITES

HEADLIGHTS FLICKER THEN WILL SHUT OFF COMPLETELYWHILE DRIVING DOWN HIGHWAY.. NO DASH LIGHTS. HAVE TO TURN CAR OFF AND ON

HEADLIGHTS ARE INTERMITTENT. SOMETIMES LEFT, SOMETIMES RIGHT, SOMETIMES BOTH WILL TURN OFF. SO FAR, TURNING THE THE SWITCH OFF THEN BACK ON CURES THE PROBLEM, BUT ONLY TEMPORARILY.

DRIVER SIDE HEADLIGHT TURNS OFF INTERMITTENTLY WHILE DRIVING.

PROBLEM WITH HEADLIGHTS GOING OFF STARTED SEVERAL MONTHS AGO, BUT NOW IT'S A DAILY OCCURRENCE AND HAPPENS IN THE DARK! TODAY IT HAPPENED TWICE. SO FAR I'VE BEEN ABLE TO TURN THEM OFF AND ON AGAIN AND THEY WORK, BUT PRETTY SCARY WHEN ON AN EXPRESSWAY. REALLY SURPRISED TOYOTA DOESN'T TAKE CARE OF THIS AS IT'S DEFINITELY A SAFETY ISSUE AND THEY'VE KNOWN ABOUT IT EARLY ON. DEATH OR INJURY IS SURE TO OCCUR. I WILL DEFINITELY BE CONTACTING TOYOTA ON MONDAY KNOWING SO MANY OTHERS HAVE THIS ISSUE, TOO!

MY HEADLIGHTS HAVE BEEN TURNING OFF RANDOMLY EITHER SEPARATELY OR TOGETHER. AS TIME GOES ON THEY ARE GETTING WORSE AND WORSE TO THE POINT OF WHERE THEY WON'T STAY ON FOR MORE THAN 2 TO 3 MINUTES UNTIL I HAVE TO MANUALLY SWITCH THEM OFF AND ON AGAIN. I HAVE BEEN PULLED OVER COUNTLESS TIMES FOR THIS AND IT'S ALMOST GETTING TO THE POINT OF DANGEROUS BECAUSE I CAN'T EVEN TELL WHEN THEY GO OUT. IF SOMEONE DIDN'T SEE ME THEY WOULD HIT ME HEAD ON. I DON'T FEEL SAFE DRIVING MY OWN CAR AT NIGHT OUT OF FEAR OF GETTING PULLED OVER OR GETTING HIT BECAUSE MY HEADLIGHTS WILL NOT STAY ON AT ALL. I'VE HAD ENOUGH OF THIS AND HOPE THERE'S SOMETHING THAT CAN BE DONE BECAUSE THEY'VE ALREADY BEEN REPLACED AND NOTHING HAS CHANGED. SOMETHING NEEDS TO HAPPEN BECAUSE I KNOW I'M NOT THE ONLY ONE WITH...

THE PASSENGER SIDE HEADLIGHT GOES OUT INTERMITTENTLY. TURNING OFF THE LIGHTS AND THEN BACK ON WILL TURN THE LIGHT BACK ON, SOMETIMES. DEALER'S REPAIR SHOP STATED HID LIGHTBULB WAS BAD AND REPLACED IT. IT DID NOT FIX THE PROBLEM. BASED ON OTHER POSTINGS, THIS IS A FAIRLY COMMON ISSUE.

THIS VEHICLE HAS AN ISSUE WITH ITS HEADLAMPS. WHILE DRIVING DOWN A MAJOR STREET IN THE DARK , THE PASSENGER HEADLAMP FLICKERED BETWEEN 1-3 SECONDS BEFORE SHUTTING OFF COMPLETELY. WE TRIED TURNING THE HEADLAMPS OFF AND BACK ON AGAIN, BUT THIS DID NOT SEEM TO WORK. THIS IS OBVIOUSLY UNSAFE ESPECIALLY WHEN IT HAPPENS ON THE RURAL ROADS CLOSERS TO HOME. WE HAVE TAKEN THE CAR TO DIFFERENT TOYOTA DEALERS IN WHICH NONE CAN FIND A SOLUTION. WE'VE REPLACED THE COSTLY BULBS IN BOTH LAMPS (BECAUSE WE NOTICED THEY WERE BOTH AFFECTED) AND GOT THE SAME RESULT ON THE SAME DAY OF THE REPLACEMENT. SINCE THEN THE CAR WAS INVOLVED IN AN ACCIDENT AT NIGHT WHEN A DRIVER DID CLAIMED TO NOT HAVE SEEN THE PRIUS AND THAT THE LIGHTS WERE OFF. FOUR YEARS LATER THE LIGHTS STILL GO OUT AND DON'T SEEM TO STAY ON LONGER THAN 2 MINUTES....

ON A REGULAR BASIS, ONE HEADLIGHT WILL GO OUT OR SOMETIMES BOTH WILL SHUT OFF AT THE SAME TIME WHILE I'M DRIVING. THEY WILL USUALLY COME BACK ON AFTER TURNING OFF AND ON BUT IT IS AN EXTREME HAZARD AS THERE ARE MANY DARK ROADS IN TEXAS. IT HAS BEEN HAPPENING SINCE I PURCHASED THE VEHICLE IN 2014.

HEADLIGHTS GO OFF INTERMITTENTLY WHILE DRIVING AT NIGHT

I BOUGHT THIS 2007 TOYOTA PRIUS USED AND WAS NOT INFORMED BY THE SELLER THAT THERE WAS A PROBLEM WITH THE HID HEADLAMPS. WHILE DRIVING, THE RIGHT HEADLAMP WILL PERIODICALLY FLICKER AND/OR CUT OUT. TURNING OFF THEN ON THE HEADLIGHTS RESETS IT TO BE ON. AFTER RESEARCHING THE PROBLME ONLINE, I DISCOVERED THAT THIS IS A KNOWN ISSUE WITH TOYOTA AND THAT THERE WAS A CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT. REPLACING THE BULBS FOR THIS MODEL ARE VERY EXPENSIVE AND THIS PROBLEM SHOULD NOT BE OCCURRING. I WOULD LIKE TO KNOW HOW TO GET THIS PROBLEM RESOLVED. THANK YOU!

FRONT DRIVER SIDE HEADLIGHT KEEPS TURNING OFF INTERMITTENTLY AND AT RANDOM WHILE DRIVING. THE CAR HAS BEEN IN TO THE TOYOTA SERVICE DEPARTMENT SEVERAL TIMES BUT THE PROBLEM CAN NOT BE ISOLATED. SEVERAL ON-LINE FORUMS SUGGEST THIS IS A MANUFACTURER DEFECT WITH THE HID OR ELECTRICAL CONNECTION AND HAVE BEEN CHARGED THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS REPLACING BULBS, LIGHT HOUSINGS, AND CONNECTORS WITHOUT FIXING THE ISSUE. THIS IS A MAJOR SAFETY CONCERN AND TRAFFIC VIOLATION TO BE DRIVING AT NIGHT WHEN YOUR HEADLIGHT CAN TURN OF AT ANY MOMENT. PLEASE HAVE TOYOTA ADDRESS THIS ISSUE IMMEDIATELY.

WHILE DRIVING IN CITY OR HIGHWAY THE HEADLIGHTS GO OUT SUDDENLY. TURNING LIGHTS OFF THEN ON AGAIN TURNS HEADLIGHTS BACK ON. THIS IS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS DRIVING AT NIGHT OR ON DARK ROADS.

HEADLIGHTS (LOW-BEAM) TURNED OFF RANDOMLY WHILE DRIVING AT NIGHT. FLICKING LIGHT SWITCH OFF AND BACK ON USUALLY TURNED LIGHTS BACK ON. FLICKING ON BRIGHTS AND THEN BACK TO LOW DIDN'T HELP.
