Headlights are not sealed properly and moisture in the air rusts the lightbulb and they have to replace the whole headlamp!

Dashboard is melting and sticky. Causing a ridiculous glare from sunlight and headlights. Contacted lexus dealership; they stated there is a recall for this but they couldn't help me I would need to call lexus themselves. Called lexus provided my VIN and other information. They told me my VIN was not part of the recall and I would be responsible for all repairs myself.

Lexus is 250 dashboard is melting. Very sticky substance, bright sun and headlights cause dangerous glare on windshield. Compromises the effectiveness of the airbags in the case that they would need to deploy. Lexus refuses to fix the issue as well as toyota. The melting dash also emits a odor when in the direct sunlight and actively melting, that gives a headache. The "safeness" of my vehicle is now extremely compromised as well as the value.

A year or so ago my car started overheating. I stopped and the car shut off. The computer system froze and said checking system and showed a drawing of a car frame and what I guess is the heat source. I took my car to the mechanic and he replaced the water pump. It had cracked and boiled over and ever since I have had nothing but problems. I've replaced the alternator, the battery, and my navigation system is blank and completely doesn't work. Nor do the buttons around it. The motherboard is fried. Also sometimes when I'm driving at night my headlights turn off in the pitch black driving down the road. My dashboard is melting and since I'm a realtor who puts a lot of miles on her car, I'm underwater. I'm either going to have a heat stroke driving that sauna around (the heat is stuck on) or crash when my headlights suddenly stop working. My daughter is learning to drive and I cannot let her drive once it gets dark. It's okay for me to die but not her. There doesn't need to be a sensor right under the water pump that can destroy your hole car. Thank you for your time.

I purchased a cpo lexus is250 in 2008, I had intermittent headlight failure brough car into lexus and was told they couldnt reproduce the problem. Picked my car up brought it home and sure enough the headlight is out. Called lexus immediately sent a picture of the light out. Brought car back in they switched the headlight and of course the light on the same side went out again. I was very fristrated because as a female and knowing warranty was up soon I feel they didnt care. The light went out again and happens every day I had bulbs replaced and problem still happens. I have been ticketed for light flickering and going out. Driving on highway at 65mpj, check engine and check vsc light go on, car drops power and downshifts very hard, I drop to 40 MPH in the left lane of highway. Check vsc and check engine light on at 1

When operating the front headlights, the lights will fade off during driving. The bulb does not go completely out, but within a few minutes of driving, they will go out. I have to click the lights on and off for them to come back on. I have had one bulb replaced, and will have the other replaced as well. This seems to be a common issue with this vehicle as I have a co-worker that experiences the same with his is350 lexus.

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 .

Vehicle headlights go out while driving. I have done some research and discovered it is a major problem with this model and would like to know why there has not been a recall to address the problem. I have a 16 year old driving this vehicle and I am very concerned.
