2 Headlights problem

Failure Date: 05/22/2015

The drivers side headlight, has consistently filled up with water, via washing the car, raining, etc. , causing it to fog up. This is ridiculous, and to go get it fixed, they want an arm and a let, the car is in beautiful condition, why not honor this by fixing it, you've had other complaints! my daughter just purchased a 2015, this is our 3rd Lexus, we love the cars, now why don't you fix what is wrong, I can't go around with a headlight that is not damaged and I've been told by Lexus, "ah yes, we've had complaints but that's the way it goes?", keep it up, I'll buy a different car next time! and so will family members!.

3 Headlights problem

Failure Date: 08/17/2014

My headlights kept going of and on at certain points, now at night I have no low beam, it appears to have moisture inside the lens and the lens on all of the headlights are very foggey looking. They look like they are 20 years old. When taken to the dealer ira Lexus in bedord nh, they said it is not under warranty even though I have a letter from Lexus describing exactly how my lights are working or should I say not working. I realized the problem when I was stopped and issued a warning for having a headlight burned out. Lexus is trying to blame it on a ballister which they want $900 to replace. I say it is what is in the letter that is causing this. I feel they are just trying to charge me $900 for something that should be taken care of by Lexus. I have owned Lexus vehicle for years as well as many family members and it does seem like if you have an issue it is never under warranty or if it is, then something else caused it to happen. It is so hard to see at night and I feel this is a huge safety issue that should be taken care of by them or at least offer and affordable resolution not over $900 for a single headlight, which actually could cause the other headlight to go. What would happen with the other headlights in the future. I am getting so dissapointed with Lexus , sad to say this may be my last Lexus vehicele. I have owned this vehicle since August 2009.
