Lexus GS300 headlights problems

Filed Mar 7, 2018 · Transmission · 160,000 miles · CA

I have a problem with my 2006 gs300 that I purchased new, I'm the original owner and have my car regularly serviced. Back in 2013 I had my transmission replaced by lexus of westminster at about 80,000 miles, I was shocked when recently while driving my car starts to pull whenever I start braking whether I'm going slow or fast, I get an extra thump. I took my car to the lexus of cerritos who stated I need my transmission replaced again. My car only has 169,000 miles on it. So that would make this the 3rd transmission. I feel like I have a lemon car. I have replaced the headlights excessively, I have replaced ecu sensors and even tire pressure sensors as well as starter. I don't believe I should have to replace my transmission so often, I am not a hard driver and the last transmission was replaced less than 60,000 miles ago. I have read in online forums where others have experienced the same issues on their 2006 gs. I am a previous owner of a 1988 lexus gs300 that I had for almost 300,000 miles and never replaced a engine let alone a transmission. Please investigate I feel hopeless.

I'm having serious problems with my headlights going out intermittently while driving. About 5 minutes after I turn them on, usually my passenger headlight goes out first, then about five to ten minutes later, the driver headlight light goes out. It's strange, sometimes only one goes out, and other times they both go out. The problem is, it becomes a serious safety issue when they go out, because most times I am completely unaware until someone on the road gets my attention and tells me, or I'm constantly turning my headlights off and on, (which seems to be the temporary fix). The problem with that though is I'm constantly flashing the car in front of me turning my lights of and on. Clearly there is an electrical issue here, some kind of short or something, especially when every single day I see other vehicles on the road, just like mine, having the same issue...driving around with one light on and one light off. It's ridiculous. It's dangerous! I commute 2 hours (round trip) everyday on the highway for work and my child's school, and it's dark in the morning when we leave home and dark in the evening on our way home. It's extremely dangerous, especially on fog days and rainy days like today. This issue needs to be recalled. Enough is enough!

When I was driving at night, all of a sudden driver side headlight (low beam) turned off and I was driving with one light all alone. I tried switching on and off but still didn't resolved. Next day morning both lights were glowing but the driver side light went off after 10-15 min. Then I turned off and on, it came back. Not sure whether its a faulty light bulb or something else.

Hello, first the headlights auto adjust low. They state its normal and I took the car to dealer a least 13 times for headlights pointing low and only gives about 3 or 4 ft on light beyond good. Now warranty expired. They didn't nothing. Rear view mirror faded it's not safe to use it. Dealer knows about the problem but wants me to 1300$ for new mirror. Front bushing system failed completely. I took it to 3 repair shops and all stated as know problem, they quoted 2000$ for repair because lexus will not and don't sell only bushings. You have to buy all new complete arm controls. Last item, the hood started to rust from under the paint without any chips. The rust starts a bubble then chips open. All these complaints are listed lexus forums all over google. Very easy to find and verify. I have cars over 25years old never had a rear view mirror fade to the point it's unsafe to use. Backing out of drives. Our kids and neighbors must be safe. Head lights that are unsafe , scary stuff and no ones forces lexus to fix these. God bless and thank you!

I drive a 2006 lexus gs300 that is having a problem with the exterior headlight randomly turning off while I am driving. This can be very dangerous and I have already received one ticket for this. I see there are many other people on here complaining about the exact same problem and I don't understand why an investigation has not been opened. This exact same problem happened to what im assuming was my other side, about a year ago. It was very expensive to fix, I think it cost me about $1500 at the lexus dealership. I definitely cant afford to pay that right now and not to mention I already got a ticket for this. I have been trying not to drive my car at night but it is very inconvenient. Are there any alternative methods I could use as a temporary fix until I can get this fixed?

As I was driving one evening both headlights turned off alone. I turned the knob off and on and they restarted, but now continue to turn off intermittently. Sometimes one sometimes both after different amounts of time. I have had the bulbs replaced but the problem still persists.

I own a 2006 lexus gs300 with currently 87,000 miles and for the past 2 months, the headlights seem to turn itself off while driving. . Most times it happens on passenger ! I have to turn the light switch off and on for it to work again (for another few minutes and it would turn itself off again).

Since my vehicle has reached 80,000 miles one of my headlights would automatically turn off itself when I am driving. This happens very often. It would be either left or right that will go off or sometimes both at the same time. I would have to turn it off and turn it on again and both will work fine. I constantly have to do this every time I have my headlights on. This is very frustrating and dangerous when I have my kids in the car.
