2008 Toyota AVALON Exterior Lighting Problems, Complaints and Defects

Issue ID	908084
Internal NHTSA #	10448924
Manufacurer	TOYOTA MOTOR CORPORATION
Brand	TOYOTA
Model	AVALON
Model Year	2008
File date	15/01/10
Component	EXTERIOR LIGHTING
Product type code	VEHICLE
Description of the problem	Multiple failures of high beam / drls (same bulb). Bulb will quit working or in some cases shatter and leave glass shards in the housing. (known, and recently acknowledged, problem with bulb housings by toyota.) i have also recently experienced several failures (temporary failures so far) of the high intensity discharge (hid) low beam headlight. The low beam will fail, and usually (after cooling, or a few on/off cycles) will resume operation. Internet research shows this also to be a common problem, probably a voltage problem, and seemingly related to the bulb housing problem that toyota recently officially acknowledged and offered time/mileage-limited repairs for. So far, toyota has refused to repair this known problem for vehicles outside the arbitrary set limitations of 5 years or 72,000 miles. The chronic and repeated failure of these headlights (high beams/drl and hid low beams) is a safety issue and should be included in an official recall for repair at toyota's expense without time or mileage limits.
