On the instrument panel the peedometer needle and numbers are going black. This is all the time.
The indicator needle on the speedometer went dark, resulting in a black on black speedometer reading. The Lexus dealer says neither the light nor the needle can be replaced. Protocol calls for the complete replacement of the instrument board at a cost of $3000, according to Lexus USA. This is not a wear and tear question but a result of poor design. Driving an auto whose speed cannot be determined is a serious safety issue.
