2 Headlights problem of the 2009 Lexus IS

Failure Date: 11/25/2014

Condensation has formed on the inner surfaces of both headlight lenses. The condensation reduces the light intensity and distorts the focus of the headlight beams. This in turn causes a safety hazard by impairing the night-time visibility of the driver and possibly blinding oncoming drivers.

3 Headlights problem of the 2007 Lexus IS

Failure Date: 07/01/2014

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.

4 Headlights problem of the 2008 Lexus IS

Failure Date: 06/15/2011

My main concern Is that the hid headlights will not work. Initially the problem began on the passenger side headlight. Then I researched the problem and discovered it Is actually extremely common online. In my area many Lexus cars from Is250 to GS have the similar problem. The situation escalated when my driver's side headlight stopped lighting also. This really Is unsettling because I now have extremely low visibility at night and in addition I commute to school through a dark unlighted corner that could lead to a crash if the other car does not see me. I did contact Lexus but their resolution seems rather foul play. Most of their Is250 and GS have the problem but they would fix it only for about 1,000 dollars per headlight. I and multiple other consumers are not just going to pay for the high price for something clearly at Lexus's fault. Along with the headlights my suspension seem increasingly loud and squeaky when I make a turn. It Is a luxury car and being it I believe the problem should not have occurred. It should be rather quiet. I truly, am a displeased customer and I feel that Lexus Is very unresponsive toward their problems.

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.

6 Headlights problem of the 2002 Lexus IS

Failure Date: 04/27/2007

Vehicle stalls, bucks and sways onto other drivers not an alignment problem when braking the vehicle sways left or right. It Is missing a spare tire and jack, I asked on 3 different occasions for this safety equipment and was denied. Also, missing weather strips on all 4 doors the wind enters the car and one day it Is going to swing it directly off the road .
