Description of the problem | We were driving on route 95 in south carolina it was raining we had been using our bright lights when we suddenly lost our bright lights. When we got to our destination we pulled into a toyota dealership we were informed our head light and fixtures would need to be replaced due to the fact they both sides had exploded we were treated very poorly by toyota. Upon investigation this is a common problem with the toyota avalon and a extended warranty had been issued of which we were never notified of and it had expired. A short period of time before the event happened and it cost us $2600 dollar and had to drive with a hazardous vehicle. |
