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.

Driving on the highway all of a sudden the power steering shuts off. The steering gets very stiff and barely manage to get safely to side of the road.

The steering works properly again. While it does this the "p/s" light on dash comes on. Also the vehicles hid lights go out while driving. When turned off and on again. They continue to work.

While driving the headlights on my 2007 is250 will just go off. Most of the time it is the left one, occasionally the right one will go out.

The dealer says that the bulb is going out and needs to be replaced,going out for a couple of years? Really. I would have believed that if I had not seen so many complaints regarding the same thing. I was told by the dealer the bulbs would be replaced under the warranty but not the extended warranty. I have around 45,000 or 46,000 miles.
