Three problems related to exterior lighting have been reported for the 2008 Lexus RX350. The most recently reported issues are listed below.
Head light got moisture in side burned out had to replace entire head light $2200. 00 this had an extended warrenty but I missed it never got notice not moving.
The contact owns a 2008 Lexus Rx350. The contact stated that the headlamps failed to illuminate. The bulbs were replaced by an independent mechanic, but the failure recurred. The independent mechanic diagnosed that the head lamp assemblies needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not diagnosed by a dealer. The manufacturer was notified and stated that the statute had expired to receive a manufacturer recall repair. The manufacturer provided no solution other than having the vehicle repaired. The approximate failure mileage was 115,000.
Moisture/condensation in headlamp due to manufacture defect( known for several years by Toyota). Dealer claims not under warranty (cosmetic). It is a hazard as whole system can fail at any time (night) many complaints filed and no action to correct the problem by Toyota. It is my understanding that only a Lexus/Toyota dealer can install replacements at a high cost to consumer ( $1500 ). The moisture buildup is presently on the drivers side, however when the other fails. . . And how many times this may happen without a true "fix".
