I LIVE JUST OFF A DARK, WINDING ROAD, AND TWICE BOTH OF THE LIGHTS WENT OUT AT THE SAME TIME, LEAVING ME TOTALLY IN THE DARK. I WAS ABLE TO FLIP THEN OFF AND BACK ON TO NARROWLY AVOID A POTENTIAL FATAL ACCIDENT. I HAVE BEEN STOPPED BY THE GA HIGHWAY PATROL AND GIVEN A WARNING DUE TO THE DRIVER SIDE HEADLIGHT NOT WORKING AT DUSK ONCE. HAD IT BEEN DARK ALREADY, THE OFFICER WOULD HAVE TICKETED ME HE SAID. THIS IS A MAJOR SAFETY ISSUE THAT REQUIRES THE NHTSA TO INVESTIGATE THOROUGHLY WITH PRIUS OWNERS. THERE ARE SEVERAL BLOGS ON THE INTERNET REPORTING THIS PROBLEM AND COMPLAINING ABOUT THE EXORBITANT COST THAT TOYOTA DEALERSHIPS CHARGE TO \"FIX\" THE PROBLEM (FROM $800 TO $1800), ONLY TO FIND THAT THE PROBLEM IS REPEATED WITHIN A YEAR OR TWO. THE LOCAL TOYOTA DEALERSHIP SAID THAT MY \"REPAIR\" WOULD BE ABOUT $1,100, BUT I DECLINED BECAUSE I FEEL THAT THIS IS AN INHERENT DEFECT IN THE HEADLIGHTS THEMSELVES, THE WIRING HARNESS, OR THE COMPUTER MODULE (OR POSSIBLY ALL OF THEM) THAT MAY OR MAY NOT BE FIXED BY THROWING MONEY AT IT NOW. I BEG YOU TO INVESTIGATE THIS ISSUE AND CONSIDER MAKING TOYOTA ISSUE A GENERAL RECALL DUE TO THE HEADLIGHTS ISSUE. SOMEONE IS GOING TO BE KILLED ONE DAY, IF IT HASN'T ALREADY HAPPENED. IT PROBABLY ALREADY HAS. THIS CAR WAS PURCHASED NEW, NOT DRIVEN HARD OR OVER BAD ROADS, ROUTINE MAINTENANCE HAS BEEN KEPT UP, AND IT HAS LESS THAN 39,000 MILES ON IT (ABOUT 37,000 AT THE TIME THE PROBLEM BEGAN). I AM IN THE PROCESS OF CONTACTING TOYOTA MOTORS NOW TO COMPLAIN ABOUT THIS SAFETY ISSUE AND DEFECTIVE PARTS TO SEE WHAT THEY WILL DO TO HELP ME. THANK YOU FOR TAKING THE TIME TO INVESTIGATE THIS SERIOUS ISSUE AND I HOPE THAT YOU WILL BE ABLE TO MAKE A DIFFERENCE TO SAVE LIVES BECAUSE OF IT. *TR","products":[{"type":"Vehicle","productYear":"2007","productMake":"TOYOTA","productModel":"PRIUS","manufacturer":"Toyota Motor Corporation"}]}]}
