Description of the problem	Have had intermittent problems with headlights going off. The last incident that occurred was while driving one night at around 70 mph.. All lights went off! We were able to safely pull over and turn lights to off and then back to on. Were able to get low beams back on but not the high beams. Later discovered at the dealership that both high beam bulbs had exploded. We have been told by dealership and an insurance adjuster that this is a design problem with our model/year of car which is a 2008 avalon. Still fearful that we could have similar issues with the low beams. This is an urgent safety issue! In addition, we have been told that the cost to replace the headlight assemblies would run around $2500. 00! We are lucky that we are under extended warranty.
