Example complaints
Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.
“Low beam headlights keep going out. I have directional headlights that when I turn my vehicle on, my lights will turn on (if dark enough out) and they move pointing down and then up. While driving they also do this and go left to right. Well when I first start my car they both work. As soon as lowbeams move straight to down and then to up, on up movement my driver side cuts out. Does not turn back on.”
NHTSA complaint #10916706, filed 2016-10, 72,000 miles“My car, Lexus IS 350, has a condensation problem inside the headlight housing on both sides. I bought the car approximately a year ago. The problem first occurred to my car about 2 weeks ago. One of the headlights are permanently out. Because of the water, not only the headlight but ballast and the ecu are failed to operate properly. It is a manufacturer defect as even the dealership and the Lexus customer satisfaction center admitted. However, Lexus refused to provide the full service. They offered to provide $1,000 when the total fixing cost will be around $1,500 for one side. …”
NHTSA complaint #10377301, filed 2011-01, 55,000 miles“The speedometer needle and tachometer needles are LED lights that are supposed to be illuminated. In warmer climates there is a very high rate of failure well inside of the 100,000 mark. The LED lighted needle fail, hence you can no longer note your speed. There are numerous complaints on line and 3 or 4 vendors that specialize in the repair because it is so prevalent. Not being able to see your vehicle speed at night is certainly a safety issue.”
