    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

    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.

    Tl* the contact owns a 2007 toyota camry. The contact stated that the gear lever failed to shift from park into reverse until after several attempts. The failure recurred numerous times. On a separate occasion, the vehicle failed to start and the battery was replaced, but the failure persisted. An independent mechanic replaced the brake stop light switch, but the vehicle began to emit smoke. The vehicle was taken to…

    Toyota camry - 2007 head lites - low beams not good. High beams not good! Google "toyota headlight problems" numerous complaints for 2007 and also other years. I checked the ground and it is grounded properly. There needs to be a recall! Someone could have an accident. Night driving is not good, even with high beams! *tr

    The low beam headlights have a near 0% effectiveness. I leave the headlight switch in the "always on" position, but at night i often have to switch the headlights off and then back on to verify they are on. When they are on at night, the headlights are at near 0% effectiveness.

    Both headlight plastic cover lenses are hazy and unclear creating a diminished headlight distance. I feel this is a defect the manufacturer should address for free. *tr

    The dashboard of my toyota is falling apart. It is a safety hazard as it contains the passenger air bag. Additionally, the glare caused by the shine is very distracting both day and night as sunlight and lights reflect and blind the driver. I believe warranties should cover anything that is a defective part and that's what this is, a defective part, if a part is defective when you manufacturer the car or whether it…

    The day time running lights do not shut off when the ignition is off. The only temporary resolution was to disconnect the battery so that the battery would not die. *tr

    High beam headlights came on and would not turn off. Fuses had to be pulled due to the battery being drained. Online research shows there is an apparent problem with the headlight relay or switch but there is no information online where they are located. Also there is a severe knocking noise in the front end. The rack and pinion had to be changed as well as the struts and the car doesn't even have 50k miles on it.…

    1) front headlamps burn weak and plastic lens covers yellowed over time, latter problem of which is that lenses can't be cleaned by either commercial auto solvents or by local mechanic, creating safety hazard for driving at night. Price quoted for parts alone via toyota is $818 for headlamp set, plus labor. I have owned 2 other camry models and never had any issue with headlamp obfuscation due to lens material or…

    The quality of low beam lights for night driving is insufficient for driving. I have complained to my toyota dealership in baytown tx and their recommendations of cleaning the lenses and replacing the bulbs has had no effect. High beams work fine. My first complaint was in 2008 and every time i brought the car in for maintenance, etc. Maintenance. I'm afraid for my life at night when it is inconvenient to use my…
