 The daytime driving light/highbeams blew out on one side. i had the light replaced in florida on a trip. later in the same year the same light blew out and i took it to a dealer in waldorf, md this dealer, with much reservation, replaced the light. a week later both daytime/high beam lights blew out. i took it back to the dealer and they replaced the headlight assemblies of both light. now a year and a half to 2 tears later both lights have exploded again. at this point the car has 71009 miles on it. toyota says they will fix it. however, if they fix it the same way again i'm sure the same problem will return in due time. lighting at night is a very serious safety issue as i found out this weekend and this safety problem needs to be fixed properly.

 I was driving my car to the local post office to deposit mail in an outside mailbox/receptacle. the location of the mailbox was in a parking lot with a drive through . i was traveling 5-10 miles an hour. as i approached the mailbox preparing to deposit the mail, the car revved up and i felt or experienced a surge in which i overshot the mailbox by 8-10 feet. i applied extra pressure to the brake. then, i felt the engine slow down to normal. at that point, i had control of the car. i had to back the car up to get to the mailbox i was frightened wondering what could have caused this to happen. i was not as willing to drive my car after this occurrence as i could not be sure that the surge would not occur again. not knowing what to do, i lessened the time i drove the car.
