While driving on interstate headlights would automatically cut off , fuses keep blowing, gear shift locks up, and steering wheel locks up while driving.

At night,especially on a very dark road, my headlights, especially in the low beam mode, severely restrict my vision. I can only view the road by looking through the lower part of the windshield. The view through the upper part is totally dark as if obstructed by an object. I am concerned that this is a dangerous safety issue and it places myself and others at risk of death or serious injury. I have seen this issue reported by others online and I am uncomfortable with the fact that NHTSA has not informed me of this problem nor has taken any action to correct it.

This complaint is for all cars. When driving in heavy rain it is important to turn on headlights in order for the taillights to illuminate. Almost no one does this anymore due to drl and automatic headlights. During a recent very heavy rainstorm it was almost impossible to see cars ahead of me, almost resulting in a collision. It should be mandatory that the taillights come on anytime the wipers are active. This is serious.

Both front headlamp lenses have film buildup inside the projector housing causing headlight low beam to be dull and not enough output lumens. Unable to clean. Requiring replacement headlights. Driving at night was almost impossible! very expensive to replace $1318. 68. Dealership recommended that I call national customer service but they did not offer any financial help even though this is probably a design flaw. There are lots of other complaints online about same issues with Camry,.

The condensation on my headlights are horrible. I have had them cleaned numerous times but it keeps coming back. Also, my headlights on low beam are ineffective and I cannot see anything when I'm driving at night. I have to use my high beam to get any kind of lighting to see where I'm going at night.

Horrible low-beam lighting. Toyota response is "give me over $1,000 and we will replace fixtures". I have owned many cars in the last 54 years (one for 18 yrs) and never had headlight problems. Toyota ought to be embarrassed into at least replacing them at cost. I'm guessing the coating on the lens is defective because nothing else has corrected the problem.

Headlights on low beam have been designed with light/dark zones when focused for the factory specifications. There is little diffusion of light into the upper{dark} zone and objects above three feet or so are not illuminated at 100 feet. I recently passed a pedestrian walking on the road shoulder, and the person was only visible from the waist down. Stop signs are not illuminated, but the poles are. I had the dealer check the lights and was told they were set to the design spec. I contacted Toyota inc. And went through three layers of people to be told that it is as designed and could not be changed. This is a severe safety hazard.

Rental car, headlights focused too low. Almost went through two stop signs in CA as the headlights never shined on the signs. In motion on a 30mph street with many stop signs.

I own a 2009 Toyota Camry which I purchased new. I noticed that my headlights in the low beam function are very dim, to the point of being dangerously dim. The Toyota dealer stated that the lens in the headlight housing has clouded due to uv damage and use. The light bulb itself functions perfectly fine, but the lens engineered to magnify the low-beam light is what is causing the decrease of visible light. I stated that I also own a 2003 Toyota Camry that has no problems with the headlights and it provides enough light. The solution is to replace both light housings to the tune of $400. 00 each. The service manager said this is a regular operating expense, like replacing the alternator. With labor, this expense will be closer to $1000. 00 instead of changing two headlamps for $30. 00 each. It seems to me that this technology doesn't work, and is dangerous. These headlights are still being used on new Toyota models.

My 2008 Toyota solara headlights are really scary to drive with at night. The visibility is almost none. The high beams are like regular beams on every other car. My low beams are nonexistent. My friend has a 2007 Toyota solara and had the same issue. I have taken it to the Toyota dealership to only be told that they do not adjust and that there was nothing they could do. This is very dangerous. To the point I do not even drive at night, and I am a 33 year old woman. My car is in the shop as we speak once again due to this problem. But not only are the beams low, but both are now nonfunctional. The shop can not find any defect or wires loose. I have read many forums to be knowledgeable that this is a ongoing issue and a manufacturer situation.

My trunk is leaking on the right side during heavy downpours. I went to get our fabric shopping bags from the trunk and they were soaked. The car is smelling musty, not great for my sinuses and asthma. Headlight seal is allowing moisture to enter or the plastic has become porous. During a recent inspection, the headlights did not pass. We paid the gas station $32 to clean and polish the headlights to pass inspection. They looked great afterwards and passed inspection. Then my husband took the car to the car wash. Now the headlight casing is clouded again. I can see the soap drippings from the carwash on the inside of the plastic. The car is parked on the street or in a driveway, since we don't have a garage. The vehicle was stationary.

Both headlights on my car on the dim lights the mirror that reflects light has fell down and covered the lens half way and my mechanic told me if I don't replace the whole headlight it could cover the whole light dim and bright lights if I put them on dim you can't see at all I almost wrecked.

Driver and/or passenger headlight will unexpectedly turn off while driving. Headlights will be operating normally and without reason, one of the headlights will go out. This presents a danger to me in my vehicle as well as other vehicles on the road. If I turn off the headlights and turn them on again, the lights will go back on but you don't know for how long before they go out again. Mine is a 2007 Toyota solara with approximately 85,000 miles. This has occurred twice in the past couple of weeks while driving the vehicle. I've seen multiple complaints for this same issue from other solara and prius owners.

Headlights go on and off after being on for a few minuts.

Headlights will sporadically turn off when driving. Turning them off and back on seems to temporarily solve the issue.

My wife nearly crashed our 2007 Toyota solara when the left front low beam light failed at night and then in less than five minutes the right front light low beam failed. My wife was driving approximately 70 mph on a rural stretch of I-85 in north carolina. I had replaced the right front light only three days earlier. The high beams continued to work but the next day in a test in daylight the low beams worked and then failed again within five minutes and the high beams also failed within twenty (20) minutes. I have since read the online website auto recalls for consumers (arfc) that this is a recurring problem in 2007 Toyota solaras. Toyota is risking deaths by not addressing this problem. I called Toyota (800-331-4331) but Toyota was donnie the dunce and had heard nothing about nothing. The reaction would be humorous except that it happens while people are driving at high speed and it could kill them, especially at 70 mph, the legal speed limit on I-85 in rural north carolina. My wife will not drive the car anymore even in daylight because she fears a headlight problem.

Toyota camery - 2007 head lites - low beams not good. High beams not good! google "toyata headlight problems" numerous complaints for 2007 and also other years.

The contact owns a 2014 Toyota Camry. While driving at various speeds, with the low beam headlights activated, there was poor visibility.

On July 18, 2014 while traveling out of town, I smelled a burning while driving on the interstate. Pull over at the next rest stop to look the car over and I notice the headlight cover had burned. On July 22, 2014, back in town, I took the car to Toyota dealership and was informed that 51 previous bulb melted and discolored headlight housing. Please note that the bulb was replaced at the dealership two months ago. I was also advised that no light is escaping from housing which may cause it to overheat over a period of time and estimate cost to replace housing - $499. 75 (includes all labor and taxes). My concern is that this bulb melted and cause a burn on the headlight cover, this is a defect and consumers should not be paying for a defective part that cost almost $500. 00. This requires the complete housing to be replaced and not the cover nor does it repair the problem since this can happen again.

While driving the car, the engine and electrical components suddenly shut off. The first few times this happened, I was able to simply re-start the car with everything working again. I then brought the car to 3 different mechanics who could not find anything wrong with the battery or alternator (or anything else). The problem was erratic so it never occurred with the mechanics. Now the problem occurs occasionally when I turn the headlights or brights of the car on. The last time it happened (10/11/14) was while I was driving about 60 mph. The engine shut out, the dash lights went off (as well as all the other electrical things: gps, ac, radio, etc). Even the flashers would not turn on. Then, in a matter of moments, everything turned on again. The car's engine did not even need to be restarted. I was able to keep driving without incident for 20+ miles. This incident has happened a total of about 3-4 times in the past, however, it was not triggered in the past by turning the lights on. There was no apparent trigger at all. The problem is erratic and does not happen all the time.
