What owners say about the exterior lighting

Verbatim from NHTSA complaints, newest first
“Vehicle runs low of engine oil quickly. I've gotten oil changes by dealer and always explain i have to purchase oil every 3 weeks to top off. Was told its a leak but I never see oil on the ground where I park.Its been like this since I've purchased the vehicle. The headlights are not bright no matter if i change the bulb or the actual headlight”

“I was driving my car when suddenly the speedometer started going from 0-60 back and forth, the rpms was all over the place, the brake light came on and stayed on and the lights was going from bright to dim, there was a couple more lights aluminized on my dash. After googling the problem that nearly caused me and my children to crash, there is so many people affected by this same problem in the 2007 toyota camry. Why hasn't this been recalled or class auctioned. Also my dash board is sticky like tar.”

“The contact owns a 2007 Toyota Camry. The contact stated that while driving, the front low-beam headlights were very dim while activated. The contact took the vehicle to an independent mechanic who informed her that it was a common failure due to the material used to design the headlight housings. The contact was provided an estimate for the repair. Neither the dealer nor the manufacturer was notified of the failure. The vehicle was not repaired. The failure mileage was unknown. The contact stated that the dealer technician would have to remove the entire bumper in order to sand and clean the interior of the headlights.”

“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.”

“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”
