“My 2008 Toyota Avalon had the high beam light fail after approx. 30000 miles. I took it to the dealer and told them the high beam did not work. I was insulted when they asked, what do you mean they don't work ? I told them, they don't turn on . I was told they both burned out and I said there was no way they would both burn out at the same time. Their insults continued with, their the same age so they certainly could burn out at the same time. I explained when I went to turn them on one night, all lights in the car went out and I heard a pop sound. …”
