2007 TOYOTA CAMRY SOLARA Complaints

DRIVERS SIDE LOW BEAM (HID) FOR MY 2007 TOYOTA SOLARA SPORT 4CYL HAS BEEN TURNING OFF. I'M UNSURE IF THIS IS THE SIGN OF THE BULB GOING OUT OR IF IT IS SIMPLY SHUTTING OFF. IT COMES BACK ON AND HAS BEEN WORKING, THEN IT WILL HAPPEN AGAIN. *LN

2007 SOLARA CONVERTIBLE CONTINUALLY VEERS TO THE RIGHT WHILE DRIVING AT ANY SPEED AND PARTICULARLY WHEN BRAKING. THIS HAS BEEN OCCURRING SINCE AUGUST 2009 WHEN I BOUGHT THE VEHICLE. I DO NOT KNOW WHETHER OR NOT THIS WAS OCCURRING EARLIER THAN THAT BUT I SUSPECT IT MAY HAVE BEEN. I HAVE HAD THE TIRES ALIGNED THREE TIMES AND THOSE ALIGNMENTS DID NOT CORRECT THE PROBLEM AT ALL. NO ACCIDENT HAS OCCURRED; HOWEVER, IT IS DIFFICULT AND DANGEROUS TO HAVE TO CONTINUALLY PULL THE CAR TO THE LEFT TO COMPENSATE. ALSO, THE CAR IS ON IT'S THIRD SET OF TIRES BECAUSE OF THIS STEERING DEFICIENCY AND IT HAS ONLY 65,000 MILES ON IT. *TR

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. *TR

WHEN I WAS EXISTING FROM A FREEWAY WITH SPEED OF ABOUT 20MPH, MY CAR, A SOLARA 2007 ALL OF A SUDDEN JUST WENT ALMOST HORIZONTALLY FROM RIGHT TO LEFT WITH A FAST SPEED. LUCKILY, THERE WAS NO CAR COMING. I APPLIED BRAKE AS HARD AS I COULD AND STOPPED TO CHECK. EVERYTHING IS NORMAL, TIRES ARE GOOD.
