MY WIFE AND I WERE DRIVING ON I-25 IN COLORADO AND BOTH OF OUR HEADLIGHTS SHUT OFF ON OUR 2006 TOYOTA PRIUS, FORTUNATELY I HAVE READING ABOUT THIS PROBLEM SO I TURNED THEM OFF AND ON AGAIN. I'VE BEEN TO THREE TOYOTA DEALERS WITH NO HELP IN SIGHT. I WOULD APPRECIATE ANY HELP ON THIS MATTER. *TR

MY 2006 TOYOTA PRIUS HAS A MAJOR SAFETY ISSUE. THE LEFT HEADLIGHT HAS BEEN INTERMITTENTLY GOING OUT FOR OVER TWO YEARS NOW. TURNING THE LIGHT ON TO HIGH OR LOW BEAM DOES NOT CHANGE THE STATUS OF THE LIGHT AT ALL, BUT USUALLY IT COMES ON AGAIN WHEN THE LIGHTS ARE TURNED OFF AND IMMEDIATELY TURNED BACK ON. WITHIN THE LAST TWO WEEKS THE RIGHT HEADLIGHT HAS DONE IT TWICE. I WAS FIRST AWARE OF THE LEFT HEADLIGHT PROBLEM DURING THE SPRING OF 2008 LIKELY AT THAT TIME WITH ABOUT 25,000 ? 27,000 MILES. I DO NOT LEAVE THE HEADLIGHTS ON DURING DAYTIME DRIVING SO THERE HAS NOT BEEN HIGH USAGE THE DEALERSHIP ACTS LIKE THEY HAVE NEVER HEARD OF THIS PROBLEM BEFORE, AND IT MIGHT BE A LIGHT GOING BAD WHICH WILL COST $300 PER LIGHT BULB PLUS INSTALLATION. BUT IT HAS BEEN DOING IT FOR OVER TWO YEARS OFF AND ON A LONG TIME FOR A BAD LIGHTBULB TO LAST. TOTALLY FRUSTRATED AFTER I ONCE AGAIN GAVE THE SERVICE REPRESENTATIVE A DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PROBLEM AND HAD A DIFFERENT SERVICE REP COME OUT AND TELL ME THERE WAS NO PROBLEM WITH MY HEADLIGHTS, I GOOGLED THIS PROBLEM AND I SEE REPEATED REFERENCES TO EXACTLY THE SAME HEADLIGHT ISSUES BY OTHER 2006 PRIES OWNERS. NOW THAT I SEE THAT THIS IS NOT JUST MY PRIES, BUT MANY PRIUSES I AM DOUBLY CONCERNED. IT IS NOT AN EVENT I AM ABLE TO REPRODUCE. THE DEALERSHIP SAYS THAT THEY CAN'T DIAGNOSE THE PROBLEM IF THE LIGHTS ARE WORKING AND CAN?T REPRODUCE IT. I SAID I WOULD GLADLY BRING THE CAR IN AT ANY TIME AT NIGHT WHEN IT WAS DOING IT SO THEY COULD DIAGNOSE IT, BUT THEY CAN'T ACCOMMODATE ME WHEN THE PROBLEM ARISES AT NIGHT BECAUSE THEY ARE CLOSED NOR CAN THEY SUGGEST ANY PLACE TO TAKE THE CAR TO HAVE IT TESTED AT THAT TIME. HAVING TWO WORKING HEADLIGHTS IS A LEGAL SAFETY ISSUE OR THE POLICE WOULD NOT STOP AND TICKET OR WARM CARS WITH THIS PROBLEM. TOYOTA NEEDS TO FIND A FIX FOR THIS SAFETY ISSUE. *TR

I OWN A 2006 TOYOTA PRIUS. THE LEFT FRONT HID HEADLIGHT INTERMITTENTLY GOES OUT. I HAVE TO TURN THE LIGHTS OFF AND THEN BACK ON TO GET THE LIGHT TO GO BACK ON. THIS SEEMS TO BE A COMMON PROBLEM AFTER RESEARCHING IT ONLINE. NHTSA NEEDS TO CONTINUE THE INVESTIGATION IT STARTED ON THIS MATTER AND REQUIRE A RECALL FOR THIS DANGEROUS CONDITION. *TR

ON MY TOYOTA PRIUS 2006, THE PASSENGER SIDE HEADLIGHT INTERMITTENTLY GOES OUT FOR A PERIOD OF TIME. SOMETIMES FOR AN EXTENDED PERIOD, AND SOMETIMES FOR A SHORT PERIOD. THE DEALERSHIP CAN'T FIND A PROBLEM WITH THE HEADLAMP, BECAUSE,EVEN LEAVING THE LIGHTS ON ALL DAY, THE LIGHT WON'T SHUT OFF. I CAN'T DETERMINE THE PATTERN FOR THE LIGHT SHUTTING OFF, AND I OFTEN ONLY KNOW ABOUT THE PROBLEM WHEN SOMEONE ALERTS ME TO A DARK HEADLIGHT. THIS IS A MAJOR SAFETY ISSUE BECAUSE OF THE INTERMITTENT NATURE, AND INABILITY TO DETECT THE OUTAGE. *TR
