Description of the problem | When coming back from a short trip i noticed that the right side low beam headlamp was out. Then one day the light was on again then the next it is out. Now it rarely comes on so i. Called my toyota dealer and they said it would be at least $200 for new low beam light bulb. I then took it to a reputable repair shop and they said that the bulb was not bad but the ballast was bad. They showed me a list of complaints from on line and they said there was a recall for that problem. Toyota says there is no recall. If this is such a common and expensive problem there should be a recall. I researched several web sites and there are numerous complaints about headlight problems on the 2008 avalon. Some problems exactly like mine others a little different but all are about malfunctioning headlights. |
