Description of the problem	When driving, my car has the drl option that utilizes the high beams at a lower voltage during the day. About a couple weeks ago i noticed that my high beams seemed to not be working which is very odd for both bulbs to be out at the exact same time. Sometimes, i need my high beams on dark curvy roads in the area that i live in. I called my dealership(capital toyota) about it and of course they swept it under the rug of: "we havent heard of that before" the service writer was gratious enought to give me a toyota corp. Number 18003314331. So i called and through a couple holds they proceeded to tell me that due to "legal" (you would think that they would be concerned "legally" that owners are having issues seeing at night due to an substandard parts)resonsibilities they would not cover my car in what they are calling an extended warranty soley for the headlight issue they are fully aware of. They said the warranty was for 5 years from the date the vehicle was put into service. My car is one month past said date. Keep in mind that i purchased this car in early june '13. So i was not aware nor did i receive any sort of notification that there was anything that needed to be done or it would have. In fact when i purchased this vehicle i called my local dealership to see if it needed to be caught up on any recall's/tsb's and they said "no". This is a big safety issue that needs to be brought to the national recall level of service if toyota does not see the need in fixing something beyond my control. From what i understand about the issue, simply replacing the highbeam/drl's will not fix the issue. Not to metion the fact that i could receive a ticket by the police for my high beams not working properly. Please keep me informed of any forthcoming information.

What is Recall?
A recall is when a product is removed from the market or a correction is made to the product because it is either defective or potentially harmful.
What is Failure?
Failure is the state or condition of not meeting a desirable or intended objective, and may be viewed as the opposite of success. Product failure ranges from failure to sell the product to fracture of the product, in the worst cases leading to personal injury, the province of forensic engineering.
