Description of the problem	While driving, the left hid low beam headlight randomly shuts off. When i cycle the on/off switch the light comes back on, but will go off randomly again. The light does this in different weather and driving conditions. No set pattern. When advised of the problem the toyota dealership said this was an problem with my vehicle and i would be responsible for the repair. I did some research online and determined the issue was not isolated to my vehicle. Many other 2008 toyota avalon owners have had this issue. A very serious safety issue. Toyota does not want to address this issue. Given the randomness that the lights turn off, this is definitely a major safety issue. A recall needs to be issued to ensure toyota fixes the problem properly.
