No one injured. Minor problem, but toyota refuses suggestions "for legal reasons", so i have to report it to you, and hope that you will relay to toyota. Good car, good dash lighting system, nice rheostat to dim the instrument panel lights at night, to assist in night road visibility. The problem is that as you dim the instrument panel lights, the lighted symbol for the emergency flasher light switch goes completely…

Condensation in 2007 prius headlamp for 6 months. I have a platinum extended warranty in effect. Toyota will not repair or replace the defective headlamp under the warranty & will not acknowledge responsibility for an obvious manufacturer defect that according to internet research is a very common problem in toyota vehicles. *tr

2007 toyota prius hid headlight failure. Headlight goes on and off intermittently. Was told that the bulb was ready to fail. It would cost $150 for the bulb plus 1 hour of labor. I have a toyota service plan but was told that this was not covered. A little research revealed that many people are experiencing this same problem. *tr

Headlamps on both sides go out intermittently. Dealership said to turn them off and back on to make them work again. This doesn't solve the long term problem with the car. *tr

Both hid headlights failed on a winding country road. I quickly turned the headlights off, then on then was able to swerve the car to prevent going off the road. I had intermittent problems with one light failing. This was the first time both lights failed at the same time. I spent over $400 to replace the lights. There is a class action case against toyota that covers prius with under 50k miles. Since i had over…

The hid, high intensity discharge headlights go off intermittently without notice, usually right headlight, sometimes left, sometimes both. Started with right headlight at approx 18 months after purchase of new vehicle at approx 45000 miles. This week both headlights have gone off while driving at night without notice. Extremely dangerous. Last month the local toyota dealer, who knows of this issue, wanted $800 to…

Headlight flickers off while driving. If you turn the lights off and back on again, the headlight will light up again. However, while driving the light will eventually turn off again. This makes driving at night hazardous since visibility is very limited at that point. My toyota prius is a 2007 and has 52,000 miles on it. The dealership said it was the bulb and replaced it. The bulb was $150 and labor was $133.50.…

I own and operate a 2007 toyota prius. To date i have been extremely satisfied with the vehicle. However, recently i have been experiencing intermittent failure of my passenger headlight and occasionally the brake light on the passenger side. This is a safety concern because i do not know when the light is on or off. The other day i was pulled over by the police and received a repair order. The cost from the dealer…

Driver side hid headlight was lighted but failed during driving. Driver side hid headlight would re-ignite after turning headlight switch off then on. Had 36, 724 miles - at first dealer said "out of warranty by 724 miles", raised issues found here and got the computer and light plus rental prius free...over $1,600 otherwise...seems this is a regular issue as found on mycarstats.com. *tr

For the past few months my drivers side headlight has been going out. It comes back on if i flick the headlights power off then on again. Recently it has been getting worse, happening everytime i am driving at night. This is upsetting because i haven't even had my car for 2 years, and i get my vehicle regularly maintainenced every 5,000mi as recommended with my extra care warranty. *tr
