Product type code	VEHICLE
Description of the problem	While driving straight ahead at night on a highway the high beams suddenly went out and would not go on again. I switched to low beams. I later learned from a mechanic that there is a design flaw or inferior microprocessor controlling the headlights and that the low beams could also suddenly go out while in motion. This is a severe safety issue. The toyota corporation will not stand by their product and have referred me to a toyota dealer that wants over $2,000. 00 to fix the safety issue. There should be a recall on this. I believe it only affects the 2008 avalon models. There are even several articles on the internet relating to this problem. I have nothing to download as i did not get a written estimate, only a telephone quote, from the toyota dealer.
