| Driver headlamp turned off. after realizing something was wrong. i pulled over to the shoulder of the road, and turned the vehicle and headlamps off. i turned the vehicle back on and the headlamps as well. both headlamps worked again. the driver headlamp continued with this behavior and the passenger headlamp started to exhibit the same behavior about a month later. i found out that this type of behavior is common among my model and the 2006-2009 years with the hid headlamp package. many others have also experienced this same occurrence with the headlamps ballast. it is not the hid bulbs themselves, but a design flaw in the vehicles electrical system. i have been in some situations where both of the headlamps have turned off by themselves at night and almost was involved in an accident due to the flaw of this known problem. if i can not see when driving at night and other drivers can not see me, the vehicle is not safe. | |||

| I received notification from toyota some months ago of a floormat/accelerator problem indicating they would contact me when a solution was available. it has now been months with no word. recently, i contacted them only to get a response concerning a 2010 prius braking problem. my vehicle is a 2006 prius. *tr | |||

| While driving my prius i have experienced brief moments of unexplained acceleration. it was startling when it happened but was also over quickly. i believe it has happened twice. once was about one week after i had taken the car in for maintenance. i can remember thinking i might have to take the car in again. it felt like the acceleration when using cruise control, however, i don't and wasn't using cruise control. i have only the floor mats that came with the vehicle and do not believe this was caused by the floor mat. *tr | |||
