I am entering a safety complaint regarding the headlights on my toyota 2013 rav4. today, i went to my local car repairman to fix a headlight that blew out. this is the 3rd time in 6 months. in september, we had to completely change both headlights because parts in the headlights were melting. yet, less than 6 months later, my passenger headlight blew out and needed to be replaced. there is something systematically wrong with my headlights. according to my car mechanic, it looks like they are going to continue to burn out. this creates hazardous driving conditions for me and my passengers.
