2007 Lexus RX350 Exterior lighting Problems

“I parked my car in a parking spot to do some errands and, before I could put the car in park and turn the car off, the car shot forward and went through some shrubs, across a walkway, and finally ran straight into a brick wall of one of the stores I was going to. Several bricks fell off the building and , needless to say, I was as shaken up as the building. Since there is a wide walkway between the shrubs and the building, if anyone had been going to or from the store, that person or persons would,in all likelihood, have been killed. …”

“The backup lights on the new 2007 Lexus RX350 backup lights are so dim that one cannot see when backing up. They are lens and do not have bulbs. I took the car to the dealership ,and they said they have had other complaints of the same nature, but that was the way the car was manufactured. I called Lexus customer service, and they said the same thing. This was a safety issue. It was dangerous to drive at night. I did not let my wife drive alone in this car at night. I have to get out and tell her how to back up. Ak”

“Drivers side headlamp lens develops condensation on the inside of the lens. The amount of condensation is increasing daily and cannot be dried out. This adversely affects the refraction of the headlamp beam which is both dangerous for the driver and oncoming traffic.”

“My Lexus 2007 rx 350 has heavy water condensation in the headlights in the driver side of the vehicle that is causing my headlights to flicker and shut off. Repeated calls to Lexus customer care has not resulted in anything. I took the vehicle to the dealer and got their vehicle inspector to inspect and got a detailed report endorsing my complaint that it is the problem with the Lexus headlight design that allows heavy water condensation causing my headlights to blow up. Very frustrated with the way Lexus people are behaving and this is not what you expect after you buy an expensive vehicle. …”
