1 Headlights problem

Failure Date: 12/11/2018

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.

2 Headlights problem

Failure Date: 11/01/2018

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.

6 Headlights problem

Failure Date: 01/02/2016

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.

9 Headlights problem

Failure Date: 02/24/2015

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.

16 Headlights problem

Failure Date: 06/01/2011

High-intensity discharge (hid) headlights work intermittently. Turning them off and back on temporarily ¿¿fixes¿� the problem, but one or the other will go out again after driving more than a few minutes. Occasionally both go out during the same trip which can be a bit of a shock when it is dark and the road curves. Online research seems to indicate that this is a common problem on solara & prius. Replacement bulbs are extremely expensive and many customers state they don't always fix the problem.

The passenger side hid headlight turns off while driving. I can turn it off and then back on, and it might stay on for 15 seconds to 15 minutes. Now, the driver side hid headlight is starting to do it, too. I didn't realize I had no lights until I got up on the highway where there are no street lights.

25 Headlights problem

Failure Date: 09/19/2006

I am an owner of a 2007 Toyota solara with what I believe to be a serious safety issue concerning the low beam lights. When driving at night the lights cast a distinctive shadow and line with darkness at top and light at the bottom. And depending on the contour of the road at times it is impossible to see and presents a clear and present driving hazard. Amd often on coming traffic think I have my high beams on and they put their high beams on blinding me to road ahead. After arbitration with a Toyota representative the situation has not been addressed to my satisfaction.

26 Headlights problem

Failure Date: 07/31/2006

: the contact stated that the low beam headlights do not have enough "scatter light" to show signs or pedestrians on the side of the road. The dealership replaced the bulb with a brighter bulb, but the light was still not sufficient. The contact installed another set of brighter bulbs, but the problem persists. Updated 07/06/07.
