I OWN A 2010 PRIUS, PURCHASED NEW IN FEBRUARY 2010, ONE OF THE OPTIONS I PURCHASED WITH THE CAR WAS HID HEADLIGHTS, WHICH CAME ALREADY INSTALLED IN THE CAR. THE RIGHT HEADLIGHT WENT OUT IN 9/2012 & THE LEFT IN 10/2013. I KNEW RIGHT AWAY THAT WHEN THE 1ST LIGHT WENT OUT THAT THE REPLACEMENT WAS NOT AN HID LIGHT WHICH I HAD INITIALLY PAID FOR & THE CAR WAS STILL UNDER WARRANTY. NOW WITH THE OTHER BULB BEING REPLACED IN OCT 2013, AGAIN WITH A NON HID BULB, WE CAN NO LONGER DRIVE THE CAR IN THE DARK WITHOUT USING THE BRIGHT LIGHT BEAMS BECAUSE WE CAN NOT SEE THE ROAD IN FRONT OF US AS WELL AS BEYOND. THIS IS AN ACCIDENT WAITING TO HAPPEN. I ALSO OWNED A 2006 PRIUS WITH HEADLIGHT PROBLEMS. I NEVER RECEIVED THE $365.00 SETTLEMENT IN 2011 FOR THIS PROBLEM, WHY? *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS 2013 TOYOTA PRIUS 5. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHENEVER SHE WAS DRIVING IN REVERSE, THE VEHICLE WOULD JERK VIOLENTLY. IN ADDITION, THE INTERIOR DOME LIGHT WOULD ILLUMINATE SPORADICALLY. THE CONTACT STATED THAT ALL OF THE LIGHTS ON THE INSTRUMENT PANEL AND RADIO CONSOLE FAILED TO ILLUMINATE AFTER STARTING THE VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT TAKEN TO THE DEALER. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 3,000. THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 10,900.
