Example complaints
Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.
“My main concern IS that the hid headlights will not work. Initially the problem began on the passenger side headlight. Then I researched the problem and discovered it IS actually extremely common online. In my area many Lexus cars from is250 to gs have the similar problem. The situation escalated when my driver's side headlight stopped lighting also. This really IS unsettling because I now have extremely low visibility at night and in addition I commute to school through a dark unlighted corner that could lead to a crash if the other car does not see me. …”
