Description of the problem	On june 24, 2011 we took a trip to arkansas. As we were going in the mountains, we found that we had no high beams on our headlights. On returning to fresno we took it into the toyota dealer and he informed us that the headlight had exploded and would cost $2500 to replace. After a discussion with the dealer and toyota, the dealer fixed them. Then in september 2012 the driving lights went out. We took the car in to the toyota dealer and he informed us that they have exploded again. They want $2500 to replace them again. I do not understand why they want to charge the customer when it is a manufacturing problem. Can you imagine driving on back roads at night (which we do) and have the lights go out? I think this is a safety issue and makes it a very expensive car to operate yearly. I understand that this is a ongoing problem with the 2008-2010 models with hd headlights.
