Headlights problems of the 2013 Toyota Prius

Headlight bulbs burn out frequently. We have replaced probably ten (10) individual bulbs over the past several years. Toyota dealer achknowledged there is a problem with Prius v headlights but would do nothing for us. . . We would have to pay to have any work done on wiring harness, etc. , to hopefully correct the problem.

After the original light bulbs for the headlights burned out we bought high-quality replacements only to have them burn out rather quickly. It's now been a year-and-a-half and the light bulbs are burning out an average of every two months at most. We've since discovered that there has been a wiring harness recall for all sorts of other Prius makes and years but Toyota refuses to acknowledge this problem with our car. A very cursory and 15-minute google search shows that this is an issue with my model year and several others that has gone unaddressed. The last time this happened we discovered that are headlights had burned out because we were driving at night, on a lit but darkish road, when suddenly people started pulling out in front of us at the intersections we were crossing. This problem needs to be addressed before someone dies through no fault of their own. The problem started around 60,000 miles about a year-and-a-half ago.

We have had multiple low beam bulb failures. Usually it starts with 1 the burns out the other within a week or two. In the last year we have replaced both bulbs 3 times. The last time was February 24th last night on March 11th we received a warning ticket for a headlight out. I went to replace the bulb again and it was good, after removing it I reinstalled and it worked. Shut the car off and came back out and it wouldn't come on again without disconnecting the harness and plugging it back in. There is noticeable discoloration on both headlight plugs.

Low beam headlamps have been replaced by me 3 times in 80k miles. I am now aware there is an ongoing problem as they are again failing, and I replaced the bulbs of both just 2 weeks ago. There is no warning, they just don't work. I notice it while driving and cannot see without bright headlights on.

Headlight turns itself off. Replaced bulb multiple times. Headlight works for a few hours then turns off again.

Both low beam headlights failed simultaneously and without warning.

Our 2013 Prius burns out the right headlight every three months. It's nearly impossible to see to drive with only one headlight. It burns out while moving, stationary, any time and it has discoloration like excessive heat was applied.

When I turn on the low beam of the headlights there is a significant shadow on the upper half of the windshield. It greatly diminishes visibility. When I took the car in for its 6 months service a few weeks ago they acknowledged the problem but said there is nothing that can be done to fix it.

The contact owns a 2013 Toyota Prius. The contact stated that while driving approximately 20 mph uphill, the headlights failed to illuminate an adequate amount of illumination. The failure recurred whenever the contact was driving on an incline. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the problem. The approximate failure mileage was 130,000.

When I turn on the low beam of the headlights there is a dark shadow on the upper half of the windshield that diminishes visibility. I asked the service department about it at freeman Toyota in santa rosa where I purchased it new in August of 20123 and was told nothing could be done to fix it. It's a serious safety hazard which I hope you can help me remedy. Thank you.
