Driving on the highway all of a sudden the power steering shuts off. The steering gets very stiff and barely manage to get safely to side of the road. (a driver with less arm strength would most likely cause accident due to stiffness of steering) when pulled to side of the road and vehicle is turned off then turned on again. The steering works properly again. While it does this the "p/s" light on dash comes on. Also the vehicles hid lights go out while driving. When turned off and on again. They continue to work.
Head lights work and then do not work . Paid $1500 to fix and still does not work . .
While driving my vehicle my lights will just turn off. Sometimes just the left, sometimes just the right and sometimes both at the same time. When I turn the light switch off and then back on they come back on and stay on. I've seen numerous complaints. Changing the lightbulbs does not work.
8. About 90 minutes after parking the car, dave went to start Lexus Is250 to go to a restaurant to meet family. The car would not start. So he took a cab. The next morning (Saturday July 31, 2010) he jump started the Lexus Is250 and drove it to , a Toyota dealership which was the nearest repair facility listed in the Lexus Is250¿s navigation system as a repair facility system. The dealer advised that it could not be able be reimbursed for warrantee service but tested and advised that the battery was bad. Dave bought a new battery from them. The nearest Lexus dealer was in syracuse, 90 miles away and was closed. 9. The Lexus Is250 then started fine. Dave drove to the birthday lunch after which the Lexus Is250 again could not be started without being jumped started. Dave then returned to the motel to change into hiking cloths. The Lexus Is250 again would not start. Dave cut his stay short and loaded the Lexus Is250 up because he did not want to be stuck in summer Sunday traffic with road construction delays while the Lexus Is250 was erratic. Daves plan had originally been to drive from ithaca to ocean city, maryland to spend time with his children and grandchildren. Dave decided it would be better to go directly home and take his always reliable Subaru to the ocean. 10. It was a dark Saturday night when dave had crossed the new york ¿ pennsylvania state line and was going through a mountain pass when the Lexus Is250 became very scary. All of the lights and all apparent electric power went out momentarily and came back on. This repeated itself more than 3 dozen times while he drove straight through to his home. Another odd problem was that when he used the switches up close the windows, 3 of the 4 would close then come back down between 1 and 2.
