Front head lights went out within a few weeks of each other. Replaced both bulbs. Then they went out again with no warning in about a month. Had to use brights to drive home in the dark. Dangerous! replaced them again and now one of the head lights is out again after only 2 weeks even though it is a different brand. Headlights have gone out while driving and when it is parked.

Headlights low beam fail every month or so and I have replaced 16 bulbs in last year. This creates a dangerous situation for us. Also the cost is great. I have never had to replace headlights before in other vehicles. When is a recall going to be demanded ? when somebody is killed because of this

Driving in the evening, using headlights. Turn vehicle off and exit. Within an hour, get back into vehicle, start, turn on headlights and they (low beams) fail to illuminate. High beams work, as do parking lights, but the low beams stopped working, and they still fail to work. Driving without headlights or perpetual use of high beams is a safety hazard and distraction for other motorists causing an unsafe condition. Have made an appointment with local Toyota dealership for maintenance, in early Feb. 2014. The vehicle is still under factory warranty, less than 36 months old with fewer than 36,000 miles.
