Example complaints
Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.
“My vehicle head light flickers on and off. When it flickers out, if you turn the light switch off and on, it turns the light back on. The light may stay on or flicker back out without knowing. I had the light bulb replaced, costing $275.00 thinking that was the issue. Weeks later, I was notified by a random person the same light was out. Again, turning the switch on and off, allowed the light to turn on, but later flickering out and on. …”
NHTSA complaint #10567878, filed 2014-03, 115,000 miles“I have a Lexus gs300 2006. The lights have been shutting off, turning off intermittently. It is usually the right side but also happens on the left side. You can fix the problem by turning the on off switch. However it will continue to shut off randomly. This is a safety hazard and needs to be addressed. It has been happening for over a year and Lexus dealership says to replace just the bulb. The bulb is fine, something else is wrong. Others have complained as well.”

NHTSA complaint #10862105, filed 2016-04, 120 miles“Headlight randomly goes off without warning. Many owners of this make year and model have had the same problem. This should have been a recall. Cost 1,500.00 to fix”
NHTSA complaint #10583338, filed 2014-04, 118,300 miles“This is extremely dangerous. My headlights keep going out. I've replaced the lamps and this wont fix the problem. I cant believe Lexus is letting this continue with such a major safety issue of having non working headlights. They go on and off at all times. I've got kids and im terrified to drive any time close to night fall with them in the car. I notice they are on then 5 minutes later they flicker off. I turn the switch on and off and they stay on for a bit then turn off again. This is a major safety issue and it looks like its affecting many of us. …”
