1 Headlight Switch problem of the 2019 Toyota Tacoma

Exterior headlights are inadequate as the illumination is inadequate and doesn't meet minimum safety standards for a vehicle on country roads. The interior switches are not illuminated and during evening operation making safe adjustments an impossibility. Auto-dim overrides normal safe high beam operation as sensor is activated from any roadside reflective surface while vehicle is in motion. The problem almost manifested in several near accidents. This is a major latent designand equipment defect and is unsafe in nighttime operation.

2 Headlight Switch problem of the 2008 Toyota Tacoma

Failure Date: 06/02/2011

I purchased a 2008 Toyota Tacoma pickup brand new in 10/2008. I have had trouble with the headlights staying on high beam. The Toyota dealership has changed the switch, changed the ecm, and multiple other things. My vehicle is in the shop again for the 5th time in 32 months. I have taken it to two different dealers. It has been in the shop this time for 6 days as of today. They cannot determine the problem. On every occasion, I have left with the vehicle repaired and then it happens again. The vehicle is unsafe to drive because you never know when the lights will go on highbeam or go out completely.
