Headlights go off without warning while driving at night. Very dangerous!!

- Wilmington, NC, USA

One headlight turns off randomly. Every now and again turning the lights off and on again will fix the problem, but when you're driving 70mph down a dark highway you don't want to have to keep your fingers crossed that the lights will come back on.

Sporadically, the lights on the dashboard will not light up. When this happen the backup camera will not display as well. This doesn't happen often, but when it happens, it is a while before the they will display.

Takata recall 1. driving on surface street at approx. 45 mph attempting to slow down for an intersection all the brake warning lights came on, while I was applying the brakes they had failed, eventually the vehicle came to a stop. After that incident the brakes are working normal. Apparently there was a recall to address the issue and it is no longer valid, I was never notified of the recall and the dealership that I purchased the vehicle from (used) never notified me of any recalls. I am a Toyota owner with a defected vehicle (a known defect by the manufacture). What are my options? 2. the headlamps (left) intermittently goes out, I have replaced the lamp, checked the fuses and it still happens, others have described loosing both lamps. Both issues above are safety issues that can contribute to serious injury incidents. These safety issue needs to be addressed by Toyota.

Every day the headlights go out randomly at night. Very dangerous.

My headlight consistently flickers on and off. I have changed my bulb, but it continues to turn off at times. From my research online, it looks like the 2007-2009 Prius models were recalled due to faulty headlights.

- San Bernardino, CA, USA

Headlights constantly going out while driving. I do not operate the lights in daytime. It's a major flaw and problem with this 2006-2009 model and a safety hazard. Not to mention I am almost always subject to police issues tickets and fines. I have replaced my bulbs countless times. The lights go out while stationary and in motion. Always one at a time.

Front headlight (both) sometimes all lights will go off. Most of the time it is one or the other but I have had it happen where both completely turn off while driving. On the freeway!!! this happens daily and ive even been pulled over more than 3 times due to me not knowing about a light out! turning on and off the lights is only a temporary fix!

While driving (in motion), one headlight (either right or left) will suddenly go off. If I turn both lights off and back on, they will both come back on. But one or the other might go off again soon afterwards. It sometimes happens on short trips (a few blocks) and sometimes only after driving several miles. It happens on neighborhood streets and on the highway, while going straight. Sometimes it happens after a noticeable bump in the road, but other times it happens when the road is smooth. It happens at slow speed (<30 mph), medium, or highway speed.

One of the headlights keeps going out. I can't really tell when or how it goes out since I can't see it. I'll notice it when I see the reflection in the back of another car. If I turn the bright lights on and off it has no effect, but when I turn them all the way off and back on the light comes back. Sometimes on long trips it will stay on the whole time, sometimes it won't. sometimes on short trips it will go out, sometimes it won't. it is not an event I can make happen

Both front headlights frequently turn off at the same time while driving. Turning the lights off then on fixes the issue temporarily, until it happens again a short time later. This happens multiple times per hour.

Since about 3 months after buying this, the headlights will randomly go out all the time. I have been pulled over countless times. It's a complete safety hazard. It's not the bulbs. It's the underlying ballasts. Which I'm told can cost upwards of $3K to fix. It's a lot of them from 2006-2009 models. They were sued over it but they never recalled it. I bought mine after all that was long and done so I can't do anything about it. It's a manufacturer default that they should fix!

I was driving my 2007 Toyota Prius in the middle of the night and all of the sudden all of my lights went out. I was in the middle of a busy road and could not see anything and decide to just pull off the road and hope not to hit anything because I just wanted to get off the road before I got hit by an oncoming car. After I got off the road for awhile I tried the lights and they both worked. I took my Prius to a state college, pa dealership and they charged me $450 because they said both headlights were out. The next day after I picked my Prius from the Toyota dealership I went to a grocery store after work and the car would not turn off and the whole dashboard was black.. I called the dealership and said they must have created a short in my car and they said bring it back in. The next day they told me the whole cluster system that controls the dashboard was bad and they would be charging another $680.

Left front headlight consistently flickers out 5-10 minutes after being turned on. Can sometimes be reignited by toggling lights, but then turns off again.

- Eagle River, WI, USA

Headlights turn off. Generally one at a time, normally the drivers side but sometimes it is both headlights. This happens each time I drive with my headlights on. I drive at night with the headlights on at a minimum of 6 days a week because of work or school.

Headlights are intermittent. Sometimes left, sometimes right, sometimes both will turn off. So far, turning the the switch off then back on cures the problem, but only temporarily.
