| Tl-the contact owns a 2007 toyota solara. the contact was driving approximately 65 mph at night with the headlights in activation, and the headlights unexpectedly failed to function without warning. the vehicle was maneuvered to the side of the road and the high beams were engaged in order to resume in operation. moments later, the similar failure occurred with the high beams. the vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic where both high beam bulbs and head lamp assembly were replaced at different times. the failure continued to occur intermittently. the vehicle was taken to dealer and they informed all four headlight bulbs would need to be replaced and possibly the head lamp assembly. the vehicle had not been repaired for the most recent failure. the manufacturer was notified of the defect. the approximate failure was 40,000. js | |||

| The passenger side headlamp turns off after approx. two minutes. i can turn the lights off then back on and the light will come back on. then approx. 2 minutes later it will turn off again. i have replaced the bulb twice already. toyota stated they can take a look at it to try to determine the problem, but they want to charge me for it. i believe this is a safety defect and not normal wear and tear. | |||
