Description of the problem | I have had continuous problems with either one or both front headlights going off randomly. This happens almost daily and i have taken the car to the shop numerous times. This is a very dangerous problem as on occasion i do not even know that the lights are off. Additionally, i have been pulled over by the police and issued a warning with the excepectation that the problem will be fixed. This poses another great concern as the mechanic has not been able to diagnose the issue, therefore, it cannot be fixed. The mechanic has also reached out to the dealer as well as other mechanics along with conducting his own research all to no avail. During my research, i discovered numerous compliants stating the exact same problems that i am experiencing, also with no resolve or remedy. I am shocked that toyota would place people in such danger and not take any action to rectify this very significant problem. I would appreciate any help you may be able to provide. |
