Description of the problem	We were driving on mountain roads in a snowstorm at night, and discovered we did not have high beams. We took the car to our mechanic once we returned from our trip, and were told that both high beam light bulbs were shattered. Our mechanic told us that this is a issue that toyota is aware of, and that they had issued a service bulletin in january of 2010 for this specific problem. We purchased this car pre-owned certified from a toyota dealership in february of 2011 (more than a year after the service bulletin was released). This problem should have been taken care of before we purchased the vehicle, since the dealership was aware of the service bulletin, and the car was "certified." we were told that the repair would cost $2,400, and was not be covered under our extended warranty. This is a very dangerous problem with this vintage avalon that should warrant a recall, not just a service bulletin.
