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 [phone]) but Toyota was [redacted] and had heard nothing about nothing. …
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.

Speed control & acceleration
Twice: once in August and most importantly 09/07/2024 was slowing down to stop at a dry cleaners when the car reved up and accelerated forward. I continued to apply brakes all the way to the floor and couldn't get it to stop, so ran into the businesses's van. USAA paidfor repairs to both, but due to fears for my safety and life and those of others, I have not driven it since. I have had it towed for repairs and to be checked by an engineer sent by Toyota.and have had to rent or borrow or pay for rides up until now. The USAA sebt engineer came to check the car but decide the car was fine and Toyota would not offer help with replacement
On sept. 1, 2008, I was driving north through pa. On I-79. I was using the cruise control on my 2007 Toyota Camry Solara for the first time. I pulled into a rest area. As I was about to pull into a parking space, I stopped for some pedestrians to pass by. When I took my foot off the brake to pull into the parking space, my car suddenly accelerated at a very high speed as if I had put my foot on the gas pedal all the way to the floor. I assure you, I barely touched the gas pedal. As a consequence, the car went over a high curb, went through a picnic area and down a hill into some weeds before I could bring it to a stop. I really had to push on the brake with all my strength. I had no control over the car or its speed. As a result, I hit a person walking in the picnic area and she sustained very serious injuries. …
