Issue number one the dashboard the steering wheel and the clutch handle for automatic or manual melts it gets extremely hot and slippery it burns no matter if you cover your car or anything it melts and the glare from it is very dangerous when the sun hits the windshield while driving it makes it look like a mirror form I'm not the only one who complains about this issue because why does the dashboard melts and create a dangerous flare with glare excuse the heating and cooling seats I believe also I'm not sure if it's causing condensation because it's connected to the ac which is also an issue no matter how much you get it fixed like I'm not sure if the blend door actuator gets stuck but a lot of people complain about that too because I'm not the only one with that issue 3 the gas pedal gets stuck no matter how many treatments and maintenance and services you get done with your car that's still dangerous because I was driving one day on the highway and my pedal got stuck while driving I keep my car in tip top shape have evidence and all. The light fixtures also is an issue I'm not sure if they're supposed to go down no matter how many lights and replacements you do they still become dim which is dangerous at night while driving in the woods or on dark paths 4 the fuel system they tell to use premium gas which is 91 but then the dealers take to use 87 which causes a stalling on the I believe transmission which is also another faulty issue cuz no matter how many times you replace everything is still very faulty I ran into a lot of people and friends who have the same issue and again I'm a person who take care of my car and 5 last but not least all the windows and sunroof keep opening which I didn't know was that supposed to be a feature.
I was driving on the interstate and both head lights went out at 70 mph. The problem started with one light then the other with no reason. You can switch them on and off several time and they usually come back on but when they both went off at the same time at 70mph they restored a 8 times! I took the car the dealer and instantly they start talking about what I needed to pay. I should not have to pay for manufactures defect. As many many 2007 Es 350s are having the same problem, but there no recall. This a safety issue. I do not have a case open with the Lexus corporation but they are singing the same song as the dealer. I guess someone has to seriously injured or die like Es350 that had the acceleration problem to pay attention. Very sad.
The lower beam hid lights went out intermittently (sometimes left, sometimes right front-light). After stopping and turning off the ignition, the lights come on again after restarting the engine. A few times, both lights turned off at the same time, so that I was completely in the dark and I had to pull over and stop the car. After I replaced the bulbs, it improved for about 6 month. After that, the same problem started again this created some very scary situations, Especially when it happened when I drove at night on a dark freeway with heavy traffic and at high speed.
