“The issue that I am having with my 2007 Lexus es 350 is while im in motion on a highway or street both of my headlights will shut off leaving the street completely dark putting me and my family at risk for an accident. I have to manually turn the headlight switch off then on again and thats when they will come back on, however this can happens several times while in motion during one extend driving period. Sometimes the left headlight will turn off and the right stays on and vice versa for the right or both. …”

NHTSA complaint #11129285, filed 2018-09, 70,000 miles

“Exterior lights on low beam intermittently go off, first one side then sometimes the other, I was once traveling on the interstate at night 70 MPH and they both went out. Once I pulled over and turned them on and off several times they came back on and about 10 miles down the road the right one went out again. This has been going on for about 6 months. My mechanic replaced the bulbs and checked fuses. It's still happening. Oddly, when the headlight goes out the indicator light on the dash doesn't light up either. …”

NHTSA complaint #10808711, filed 2015-12, 78,000 miles

“I was driving on the interstate and both head lights went out at 70 MPH. The problem started with one light then the other with no reason. You can switch them on and off several time and they usually come back on but when they both went off at the same time at 70mph they restored a 8 times! I took the car the dealer and instantly they start talking about what I needed to pay. I should not have to pay for manufactures defect. As many many 2007 es 350s are having the same problem, but there no recall. This a safety issue. …”

NHTSA complaint #10449651, filed 2012-02, 50,000 miles

“My right headlight began to flicker and did so for several weeks, then the left one started to do the same thing. Now they both completely shut off when I'm driving. I need to turn them on and off several times before they come back on. This is not only frightening, but extremely dangerous. Makes me afraid to drive after dusk. To add to the matter...... Recently, my passenger side window fell off of the track. My husband was able to manipulate the window to get it to stay up...but now I am unable to use that window. This week my driver side window has done the same thing. …”
