From my past research I’ve noticed there were recalls about the headlight ballast flashing, and getting replaced my car has this problem but never had a recall. The rear view mirror Is fading and turning black making me not able to see. And all of my interior Is becoming shiny and brittle making it hard to see out of my vehicle at anytime of day or night.

4 Exterior Lighting problem of the 2009 Lexus IS

Failure Date: 01/25/2019

I purchased a vehicle from empire auto sales now known as car queens. I applied for tags for this car over a year ago. Now my registration Is expired and I'm now finding out that I bout a salvage car that has been totaled out through a insurance company. Which Is fine but the dealer failed to have the car inspected for safety purposes to get a rebuilt title. I am now told that it Is illegal to drive this car! the dealer refuses to talk to me about this situation. I'm not sure if I'm in the right place to ask for help but if not can you please advise me on who to talk too! I just want my family to be safe on the highways. I called jackson ms car title and registration and they agreed that it's a problem with the title for this car! also I was told by an employee of car queens that the owner Is selling cars without properly clearing the titles or having the salvage vehicle properly inspected. This incident started January 2019 and still to this day!.

5 Exterior Lighting problem of the 2008 Lexus IS

6 Exterior Lighting problem of the 2007 Lexus IS

Failure Date: 09/19/2011

When I bought the car literally a week later the drivers side head light started flickering and eventually turned off. I have to constantly turn it on and off to have both head lights engage. I can have it park for as little as 5 minutes and the light goes out by itself. I have taken the vehicle to several Toyota dealers and mechanics and they have said that I need to replace the light bulb but it can't be the light bulb because the light turns on so it must be something else. So I bought a new light hid bulb and it keeps turning on and off. So im not understanding. I recently took it to Toyota dealer to get it check out and they told me the same thing light bulb needs to be replace.
