2007 Toyota SOLARA - Ratings, Complaints and Recalls

"tl* the contact owns a 2007 toyota camry solara. the contact stated that while driving at 65 mph, the headlights failed without warning. the vehicle was taken to a local dealer (wills toyota located at 318 shoshone st w, twin falls, id 83301) where it was informed that the headlights needed to be replaced. the vehicle was repaired however, the failure recurred. the manufacturer was not notified. the failure mileage was 128,000."

"one or the other low beam headlights randomly goes off when driving. it's a recurring problem. dealer replace both bulb and both transformers at a cost of $1160."

"the passenger side low beam headlight will turn off within about 30 seconds of turning the headlights on. the passenger side light will be on after turning the lights off and on again. this passenger side light will then turn off again after about 30 seconds to 2 minutes. this happens whether the vehicle is in motion or stopped."

"driver and/or passenger headlight will unexpectedly turn off while driving. headlights will be operating normally and without reason, one of the headlights will go out. this presents a danger to me in my vehicle as well as other vehicles on the road. if i turn off the headlights and turn them on again, the lights will go back on but you don't know for how long before they go out again. mine is a 2007 toyota solara with approximately 85,000 miles. this has occurred twice in the past couple of weeks while driving the vehicle. i've seen multiple complaints for this same issue from other solara and prius owners."

"headlights will sporadically turn off when driving. turning them off and back on seems to temporarily solve the issue."

"my wife nearly crashed our 2007 toyota solara when the left front low beam light failed at night and then in less than five minutes the right front light low beam failed. my wife was driving approximately 70 mph on a rural stretch of i-85 in north carolina. i had replaced the right front light only three days earlier. the high beams continued to work but the next day in a test in daylight the low beams worked and then failed again within five minutes and the high beams also failed within twenty (20) minutes. i have since read the online website auto recalls for consumers (arfc) that this is a recurring problem in 2007 toyota solaras. toyota is risking deaths by not addressing this problem. i called toyota (800-331-4331) but toyota was [xxx] and had heard nothing about nothing. the reaction would be humorous except that it happens while people are driving at high speed and it could kill them, especially at 70 mph, the legal speed limit on i-85 in rural north carolina. my wife will not drive the car anymore even in daylight because she fears a headlight problem. information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.s.c. 552(b)(6). *tr"

"hid headlights turn off while driving. problem is sporadic. may include one or both lights turning off. it is not a bulb issue. similar to toyota prius hid light issues. *tr"

"tl* the contact owns a 2007 toyota solara. the contact stated that the head lights would sporadically fail, making it difficult for the contact to see the roadway while driving. the contact indicated that turning the head light switch off and on would correct the defect temporarily before recurring. the vehicle was diagnosed by an independent mechanic, who replaced the light bulbs for the head lights but the defect was not remedied. the manufacturer was not notified. the failure mileage was 65,000."

"headlights went out while traveling at night at highway speed. lights alternately flickered on and off while switching between auto mode and on mode of headlight switch. one headlight finally went out again completely and both acting sporadically. vehicle is the sport model with the hid headlight system. *tr"

"the riders side front low beam head light operates intermittently. we received a fix it ticket; but the light worked the next day and got the ticket signed off. however the riders side low beam light continues to work and not work intermittently. out mechanic told us the high intensity light module needs to be replaced. it seems to me this is a safety issue toyota should address. *tr"
