2007 Toyota Camry Solara

PURCHASED A BRAND NEW 2007 TOYOTA CAMRY SOLARA IN MARCH 2008 WITH 22 MILES ON IT. BEGINNING IN 2014 WHILE DRIVING THE VEHICLE, THE PASSENGER HEADLIGHT WOULD GO OUT WITHIN 5-10 MINUTES OF DRIVING. BY TURNING THE HEADLIGHTS ON AND OFF, THE HEADLIGHT WOULD STAY ON. BEGINNING IN 2015 WHILE DRIVING THE VEHICLE AT NIGHT, THE PASSENGER HEADLIGHT STARTED GOING OUT AFTER 3-5 MINUTES OPERATION AND I WOULD TURN THE LIGHTS ON AND OFF AND THE LIGHT WOULD STAY ON FOR ANOTHER 3-5 MINUTES. I REPLACED THE BULB, ONLY TO FIND THE PROBLEM WAS REOCCURRING. HAD THE FUSES CHECKED BY A MECHANIC'THEY WERE FINE. HAD THE WIRING CHECKED, IT WAS FINE. WHAT STARTED HAPPENING SHORTLY AFTERWARDS IS DANGEROUS AND FRIGHTENING: WHILE DRIVING THE VEHICLE, BOTH HEADLIGHTS WENT OUT WITHOUT NOTIFICATION AND IT TOOK 2-3 TIMES OF TURNING THEM ON AND OFF BEFORE THEY BOTH CAME BACK ON' THEN 3-5 MINUTES LATER THE PASSENGER HEADLIGHT WENT OUT. I HAVE TRIED EVERY COMBINATION OF LIGHTS I KNOW, BRIGHTS, AUTOMATIC, MANUAL.. HIGH BEAMS, FOG.. THE PASSENGER HEADLIGHT WILL GO OUT. THIS EVENING WHILE DRIVING IN THE DARK, BOTH HEADLIGHTS WENT OUT ON A WINDING ROAD, I DECIDED IT WAS TIME TO RE-INVESTIGATE TO SEE IF THIS IS A RECURRING/KNOWN PROBLEM. SADLY, IT APPEARS TO BE A KNOWN PROBLEM IN A FORUM, BUT NOT AN ADMITTED PROBLEM BY THE MANUFACTURER. I CANNOT SELL/TRADE THE VEHICLE KNOWING OF THIS ISSUE, NOR WOULD I GIFT THIS VEHICLE TO MY TEEN. I AM STUCK WITH THIS VEHICLE UNTIL I CAN FIND A TRUE RESOLUTION.

MY CAR LOCKS UP YOU DRIVE IT SOME WHERE AND GO TO LEAVE AND YOU CAN'T BECAUSE THE KEY CAN'T MOVE 1ST TIME MARCH 2014 AND THEN EVERY 5-6 MONTHS AFTER THIS IS THE FOURTH TIME . YOU PUT THE KEY IN AND IT WONT MOVE YOU CAN'T START THE CAR AND IT HAS COAST ME OVER 1000'S$$$$ AND I HAVE NOTHING ON MY SIDE. I DON'T THINK I SHOULD HAVE TO KEEP PAYING FOR THE SAME PROBLEM OVER AND OVER IS THEIR ANYTHING I CAN DO???PLEASE LET ME KNOW IF THIS IS A PROBLEM WITH THE CAR ARE JUST MINE THANK YOU . *TR

WE BOUGHT THE CAR NEW OFF THE SHOW ROOM FLOOR IN 2008 THE LEFT HEAD LIGHT STOP WORKING $375.00 TO REPLACE THIS IS WITH ME DOING THE WORK. IN 2014 THE RIGHT HEAD LIGHT STOP WORKING I WENT TO TOYOTA AND ASK IF ANY ONE WAS HAVING A PROBLEM WITH THIS AND WAS THERE A RECALL ON IT WAS TOLD NO. THIS TIME IT WAS $500.00 TO FIX THE PROBLEM AND THIS WAS ME DOING THE WORK AFTER LOOKING AT THE WEB SITE LOOKS AS IF TOYOTA HAS A PROBLEM AND DOES NOT WANT TO ADDRESS IT I SEE OTHER PEOPLE HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM. IS IT GOING TO TAKE SOMEONE GETTING KILLED TO GET THEM TO LOOK INTO THE PROBLEM AND FIX IT. *TR

DRIVER SIDE LOW BEAM (HID) HEADLIGHT TURNS OFF BY ITSELF IN MANUAL AND AUTO MODES. TURNING THE LIGHT SWITCH OFF AND BACK ON BRINGS THE HEADLIGHT BACK ON BUT ONLY FOR A SHORT PERIOD, THEN IT GOES OUT AGAIN. THE PROBLEM WAS INTERMITTENT AT FIRST BUT IS BECOMING MORE FREQUENT AND AT TIMES BOTH HEADLIGHTS WILL FLICKER INTERMITTENTLY. *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 TOYOTA CAMRY SOLARA. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS PARKED AND UNOCCUPIED WHEN IT IGNITED INTO MASSIVE FLAMES. THE FIRE DEPARTMENT WAS CALLED TO EXTINGUISH THE FLAMES. THEY INFORMED THE CONTACT THAT THE FIRE WAS CONTRIBUTED TO ELECTRICAL FAILURES AND THAT THE FIRE ORIGINATED FROM THE FRONT END OF THE VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE WAS COMPLETELY DESTROYED AND TOWED TO A SAVAGE FACILITY. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE PROBLEM. THERE WAS A CONCURRENT INVESTIGATION ASSOCIATED WITH THE FAILURE UNDER NHTSA ACTION NUMBER: EA12006 (ELECTRICAL SYSTEM). THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 88,000.

I WAS DRIVING IN CITY IN THE EVENING AND NOTICED THAT THE STREET APPEARED TO DARKEN. THE PASSENGER IN MY CAR TOLD ME TO PULL OVER SO WE COULD CHECK THE HEADLIGHT. THE DRIVER HEADLIGHTS OUT. I WENT TO THE TOYOTA DEALERSHIP. THEY TOLD ME IT MIGHT BE THE BULB BUT COULDN'T GUARANTEE IT. I COULD TRY IT OUT FOR 160.00. AND IF IT DIDN'T FIX THE PROBLEM TO COME BACK AND THEY'D CHECK ELECTRICAL. I WAS NOT FOOLISH ENOUGH TO DO THAT. I TRIED THE LIGHTS AGAIN FOR THE NEXT YEAR AND NOW BOTH LIGHTS GO ON AND OFF AT WILL. AT TIMES I HAVE HAD BOTH GO OFF. IF I TURN THE HEADLIGHT SWITCH OFF AND THEN BACK ON AGAIN THEY LIGHTS RETURN ON SOMETIMES. OTHER TIMES I CHANGE THE SETTING AND USE THE OTHER SETTING TO GET BOTH LIGHTS. I'VE BEEN STOPPED BY THE LOCAL POLICE FOR HEADLIGHT OUT. I WILL BE FURIOUS IF I GET A TICKET OR HAVE TO PAY 2 K TO GET THIS FIXED WHEN IT'S A DEFECT FROM THE FACTORY. TOYOTA OWNS THIS! *TR
