Description of the problem	High beams worked sometimes and not other times. Now the high beams and daytime running lamps are completely out. While getting service at the dealer last year, i asked them to check the high beams, but they just said that they were working at the time and they couldn't find any problem at the time. Now that they have stopped working all together - i went to a new dealer and they said that toyota was aware of the problem but didn't do a recall to notify owners, instead toyota just replaced the headlight assemblies as new customers went into dealers with headlight problems. Then toyota extended the replacement to cars up to 40k miles. When i complained to the original dealer who couldn't find any problem, my car was well under 40k miles; however, now i'm told that it will cost $2,600 to fix since the car is now over 40k miles! Why didn't toyota proactively alert owners to this problem so the lights could be replaced? I will never buy another toyota product again.
