Example complaints

Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.

“I have a '94 Lexus LS400 on which the instrument panel display does not function at low temperatures. It will take up to an hour of driving before the instument panel lights up and the gages become visible. One has to note that this is a neon-lit instrument panel which will be totally dark day or night when the lighting does not work. The user will not be able to see any warning lights, vehicle speed and fuel level. This is a systemic problem with 90 to '94 model years and possibly later ones also ( I personally know of at least 10 cases). …”
