This vehicle went into the lexus dealership for a recall on the fuel system. After receiving it back from the dealership, the vehicle shuts off completely without notice. The vehicle has been back to the dealership for repairs and each time it is returns, within a week the vehicle shuts down. As of october, the dealership has received almost $8000.00 for repairs. This vehicle is becoming a death trap. It would shut down after stopping at a stop light or stop sign, but the last two times, it has shut off while driving. Once on the interstate. We are asking that something be done immediately, this car is unsafe to drive and the dealership continues to find other issues to make money, but has failed to repair the issue caused by the recall repair. Lexus headquarters has been notified. The maryland attorney general has been requested to intervene and assist us with this issue. Your help would truly be appreciated.

My husband was driving on I 295 in maryland, when the car suddenly shutdown. He stated he was going approximately 55 miles per hour and was fortunate enough to be able to maneuver from the middle lane to the side of the road. This is not the first time the vehicle shutdown completely. The previous incidents occurred after stopping at a stop sign or signal. The vehicle has been to the lexus dealership in maryland for repairs, but each time(at least 4 now) within a 6-7 days, the vehicle shuts down. These incidents did not start until after the dealership took care of the fuel recall, april of 2015.

Sitting still in a parking lot. Just started the car. Led lights stopped working on speedometer and RPM. Then I tried to touch my GPS and it stopped recognizing my touch. Traveling down the road, my headlights go out and I turn the light switch off and back on and my headlights come back on. Two years later (present time), my headlights still go off while driving or sitting still very frequently. My LED lights are still not working and I ended up purchasing another GPS screen and had an auto electrician install it for me. Occasionally my air conditioning system has a mind of its own by switching to different setting on its own. I have to turn it off and back on before I can change settings on it myself and sometimes it still won't let me change them. Auto electricians said that they would be chasing a ghost trying to find what is causing all the problems. I have looked up complaints on the model and year of this vehicle online and have found many others having the same problems that I am experiencing. Something needs to be done. This will cost each vehicle owner thousands of dollars before an electrician could possibly be able to find the problem and fix it .

8.about 90 minutes after parking the car, dave went to start lexus is250 to go to a restaurant to meet family. The car would not start. So he took a cab. The next morning (saturday july 31, 2010) he jump started the lexus is250 and drove it to , a toyota dealership which was the nearest repair facility listed in the lexus is250's navigation system as a repair facility system. The dealer advised that it could not be able be reimbursed for warrantee service but tested and advised that the battery was bad. Dave bought a new battery from them. The nearest lexus dealer was in syracuse, 90 miles away and was closed. 9.the lexus is250 then started fine. Dave drove to the birthday lunch after which the lexus is250 again could not be started without being jumped started. Dave then returned to the motel to change into hiking cloths. The lexus is250 again would not start. Dave cut his stay short and loaded the lexus is250 up because he did not want to be stuck in summer sunday traffic with road construction delays while the lexus is250 was erratic. Daves plan had originally been to drive from ithaca to ocean city, maryland to spend time with his children and grandchildren. Dave decided it would be better to go directly home and take his always reliable subaru to the ocean. 10.it was a dark saturday night when dave had crossed the new york ' pennsylvania state line and was going through a mountain pass when the lexus is250 became very scary. All of the lights and all apparent electric power went out momentarily and came back on. This repeated itself more than 3 dozen times while he drove straight through to his home. Another odd problem was that when he used the switches up close the windows, 3 of the 4 would close then come back down between 1 and 2.

The headlights on my 2007 lexus is 250 keep going out while I'm driving, the dealership(lexus of atlantic city) want me to pay $600.00 for the replacement of the computer that is causing the problem. I talked with a former lexus service tech and he said they have had this problem for a while but dont want to address it because of the cost involved and the negative press. I have been stopped by the state police and almost ticketed for this problem. I have children and had to pull over as many as 5 times during a 40 min trip,turn the lights off and then back on to continue to my destination.this occurs when I drive in the dark.thank you in advance for your response.
