Prius Headlamp Trouble

 

I just received this article, published in Advertising Age on June 29, 2009:

Amid the launch of the third-generation Prius hybrid, Toyota is taking a beating online and in court by owners who charge that some older models of the popular car have faulty headlights that can cost more than $1,000 to replace. Owners have complained to federal safety officials and in online chats that Prius' upgraded optional lights, known as high-intensity discharge headlamps, have a tendency to fail.

The Prius is Toyota's contribution to the hybrid car market. But nice looks and good millage is not enough. The term hybrid car simply refers to a vehicle that is powered using a combination of electric and conventional internal combustion engines. This car is good but not better cause it have faulty headlights that can cost high to replace. Put simply, the idea is that a petrol engine charges a high performance battery which in turn powers an electric motor.

There are several cases seen in Toyota Prius that the driver's side HID light goes out after about 3-5 minutes and becomes yellower than the passenger side. If you turns the lights off and then on, it reappears for few minutes, then again goes out. On a mountain road this defect can be fatal. These cars should be recalled.

I haven't heard of this news but as car owners, must always be cautious and observe their own car. In case of any problem, they can direct it immediately to the customer service of the car company.
