Description of the problem	Hid headlights on toyota avalon touring intermittently go out. You have to reset them by turning off your headlights. This is scary when you are driving at any speed but at highway speed is downright ridiculous. It has happened over and over. If you do research online you will find that this is a problem with both the touring and the limited (the avalon versions with hid headlights) and not the xl or xls versions with halogens. This is a headlight system problem ($2500 at dealer) not a bulb problem! Everyone is having this problem with these models of the avalon. Nhtsa please factor this in to your research if you are doing a % of complaints to car models built not to factor in the avalons built with halogens. This problem is abundant online and some simple research will let you see that toyota has a serious safety concern on their hands. I know they had a recall on the prius for the same issue. Yes i have 2 kids in the back seat in car seats. Please keep them safe and make toyota fix this issue before i am checking the deaths box on the above form! Thank you!

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.
What is Defect?
Non-conformance of a car component with the specified requirements, or non-fulfillment of user expectations, including the safety aspects.
