Open the full vehicle complaint log (all categories)THE POWER STEERING GOES OUT LEAVING DRIVING A SERIOUS HAZARD. I HAVE READ THIS IS NOT UNCOMMON IN THIS MODEL. ALSO, I WAS INFORMED THAT IT COULD LOCK UP COMPLETELY. THIS IS A SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE YET THERE IS NOT A RECALL. THE CAR IS IN MOTION WHEN THIS HAPPENS ON BOTH CITY AND HIGHWAY.
MY 2007 LEXUS IS250 ONLY HAS 44,000 MILES. THE NAVIGATION CONSOLE STOPPED RESPONDING, AND THIS WAS VERIFIED AS A DEFECT BY A TOYOTA DEALERSHIP. THE RESULT IS THAT IN ADDITION TO GPS AND RADIO FUNCTIONS NOT WORKING, THE CRITICAL AND LIFE DEPENDENT FEATURES OF AIR CONDITIONING AND HEATING ALSO CAN'T BE CONTROLLED. THESE FEATURES ARE VITAL WHEN LIVING IN CLIMATES THAT HAVE BELOW FREEZING WEATHER IN WINTER, AND EXTREME HEAT IN SUMMER. THE COST OF THE REPAIR IS $2900, AND LEXUS WAS UNWILLING TO PAY FOR THIS REPAIR. CLEARLY THIS IS A MATERIAL DEFECT, AND THIS IS OCCURRING TO THOUSANDS OF OTHER LEXUS/TOYOTA OWNERS AS NOTED BY ONLINE COMMENTS.
THE HEADLIGHTS WILL STOP WORKING INTERMITTENTLY WHILE DRIVING. AT TIMES ONLY THE DRIVER SIDE HEADLIGHT WILL NOT WORK, BUT AT OTHER TIMES BOTH WILL NOT WORK. MANY TIMES ROTATING THE HEADLIGHT CONTROL ON THE STEERING WHEEL LEFT STEM TO THE OFF POSITION AND THEN TURNING THE CONTROL BACK TO THE ON POSITION WILL CAUSE THE HEADLIGHTS TO ILLUMINATE. OTHER TIMES I MUST PULL TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD, TURN OFF THE VEHICLE, AND THEN TURN ON THE VEHICLE FOR THE HEADLIGHTS TO WORK. THIS IS A VERY DANGEROUS SITUATION AS IT OCCURS AT NIGHT. *TR
THE SPEEDOMETER INDICATING NEEDLE WENT BLACK ALONG WITH THE TACHOMETER NEEDLE NOT ALLOWING ME AT NIGHT TO SEE MY EXISTING SPEED. THERE IS NO CONTRAST WHATSOEVER. LEXUS OF SILVER SPRING TOLD ME THIS WAS A $1400.00 FIX. I BELIEVE THIS TO BE A SAFETY ISSUE DUE TO THE FACT THAT THERE ARE MANY MORE CONCERNS ON THIS SUBJECT FROM MY ON LINE INVESTIGATION OF MANY PEOPLE WITH THE SAME CAR. I BELIEVE THIS TO BE A TRUE SAFETY CONCERN. I AM WILLING TO BRING MY CAR TO YOU AS PROOF OF MY CONCERN. I NEED RESOLUTION AND CONSIDERATION FROM THE DEALER ON THIS MATTER. YOUR RESPONSE IS SERIOUSLY AWAITED. *TR
MELTING DASHBOARD - CAN SIMPLY STICK A FINGERNAIL IN IT AND IT LEAVES AN INDENTATION. I NOTICED THAT OTHERS HAVE COMPLAINED OF THIS PROBLEM ALSO. IT'S ALSO VERY STICKY ANYWHERE ALONG THE LEATHER ON THE DOORS AND DASHBOARD. *TR ALSO, MY CAR IS ONLY 7 YEARS OLD AND A YEAR AGO THE TOUCH SCREEN WENT OUT. I CANNOT USE THE GPS AT ALL. APPARENTLY THE COST IS ABOUT $1,000 TO FIX THIS. SEEMS REDICULOUS THAT THIS WOULD HAPPEN AFTER ONLY 7 YEARS. THIS SHOULD BE GUARANTEED FOR LIFE!
HEADLIGHTS RANDOMLY TURN OFF AT NIGHT WHILE DRIVING. REPLACED BULBS ALREADY AND HAVE NOTICED MANY LEXUS OF THIS YEAR HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM. HAVE TO FLICK LIGHTS OFF AND BACK ON TO TURN ON AGAIN. *TR
