1 Exterior Lighting problem of the 2022 Lexus RX350

Failure Date: 08/01/2022

I have already contacted the dealer and Lexus corporate. If you drive this car with polarized sunglasses all of your gauges disappear and you have no idea of anything with respect to the automobile such as speed or any of the other indications. I was told that they agree that this is a design defect but they will not do anything about it and if they do do something in the future then I should keep watching for a recall. I told them that being unable to wear sunglasses when you have sensitive eyes is unacceptable and not being able to see a single gauge including the heads up display is absolutely unacceptable. Their answer was basically too bad and.

2 Exterior Lighting problem of the 2016 Lexus RX350

Failure Date: 02/06/2020

Auto bright head light system deactivates/reactivates indiscriminately, most frequently a few minutes after departing in the morning (still dark). Lack of proper bright light control while driving at night greatly reduces visibility making this a safety issue. I have provided video evidence to Lexus dealer demonstrating the problem who consulted with corporate Lexus; Lexus claims that they found my vehicle to be within Lexus specifications and has refused to further investigate nor repair. Information posted on the internet by numerous Lexus RX-350 owners reported the same problem - one suggesting that proper cleaning of the camera lens fixed the problem; I provided the evidence to Lexus and Lexus refused to attempt this solution.

6 Exterior Lighting problem of the 2008 Lexus RX350

Failure Date: 11/01/2012

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".

8 Exterior Lighting problem of the 2007 Lexus RX350

Failure Date: 06/11/2012

I parked my car in a parking spot to do some errands and, before I could put the car in park and turn the car off, the car shot forward and went through some shrubs, across a walkway, and finally ran straight into a brick wall of one of the stores I was going to. Several bricks fell off the building and , needless to say, I was as shaken up as the building. Since there is a wide walkway between the shrubs and the building, if anyone had been going to or from the store, that person or persons would,in all likelihood, have been killed. There were several witnesses who saw my car pull into the space, come to a stop, and then fly across the shrubs, sidewalk and into the building. My foot never touched the accelerator at the time of the incident and, according to the company that repaired the car, there was no need to adjust/replace the floormat or the accelerator or the brakes.
