Example complaints
Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.
“Auto bright head light system deactivates/reactivates indiscriminately, most frequently a few minutes after departing in the morning (still dark). Lack of proper bright light control while driving at night greatly reduces visibility making this a safety issue. I have provided video evidence to Lexus dealer demonstrating the problem who consulted with corporate Lexus; Lexus claims that they found my vehicle to be within Lexus specifications and has refused to further investigate nor repair. …”
