| Description of the problem | I just purchased a 2009 avalon and noticed the high beams are not working. I called toyota and they limited the warranty on this known issue to only 76k miles. My vehicle has 97k miles. Toyota should have done a recall for this issue and not a warranty extension as it causes a potential hazard. I live in a rural area with no street lights. Not having high beams impacts my ability to see clearly on these roads. Reference nhtsa reference #10037591 tsb reference #sb-0044-10 rev 1 |
