Lexus currently has a so called warranty enhancement notification -zlb headlamp replacemeents. They don't want to replace my headlights even though the do leak water during a rain storm. There are water streaks on the inside which hamper lighting output. It is dangerous. Why did they send me this if is was not important?

My 2004 lexus rx330's exterior lights have always leaked. Front and back but the front is the worst. This now to the point that the headlights are so poor that I have been advised not to drive at night. Lexus will not correct this issue unless you pay them a whopping $400 + per unit! No thank you! I soon hope to purchase something not made by lexus!

My car has a problem with excess moisture and condensation in the headlight housing. It has continued to worsen for the past several years. Lexus refused to recognize this problem as its responsibility until december, 2013 when it issued a warranty enhancement to all lexus rx owners that had this problem. That notice indicated that parts were being manufactured and would be available by may, 2014. My car was inspected and was advised the repair would be made as soon as the parts were available. In early july I contacted my dealer (cherry hill lexus) who referred me to lexus corporate. I was advised by lexus corporate that parts would be available to fix the problem by the end of july. Now, 8 months after the warranty enhancement was announced, parts are still not available to fix the problem. The dealer says contact lexus and lexus says contact the dealer; the run-a-round is getting a little old. The serious nature of this problem was recognized by a us federal judge in ho v. Toyota, the court said in the instant matter, the court finds that plaintiffs successfully showed that the alleged defect posed a genuine safety risk because a headlamp flickering or going out at night or in inclement weather could put the car's driver in danger. A reasonable consumer would consider this risk material because of the inherent risks of physical injury in the event of a headlamp-related accident, or the costs associated with continually repairing problematic headlamps. Lexuses enhanced warranty followed the issuance of the court's above opinion. My car has the same type of problem as discussed in the opinion. Any help you could provide in having this needed repair would be appreciated.

Defects in headlamp assembly caused water from rain to accumulate inside the lamp, overtime, the water caused the hi-voltage unit to short out and the headlamp is in-operative (this is for the low beam hid lights). Replacement cost is $1,800 per lamp assembly (dealers quote). This is a safety issue since the low beam is not available for driving at night.

After a rain storm, my driver side headlight was filled with water and the light does not turn on. The lexus dealer quoted me price of $1566.23 to replace. I learned of a class action lawsuit against toyota for failure to address this wide scale problem. Please include my complaint in this matter.

Like many other people, I am complaining about the headlight condensation on my lexus rx330. The passenger seat headlight fogs up so that it is very cloudy. This affects the quality of the light beam at night as it makes the light dimmer. I've asked lexus to fix this problem and they quoted me close to $2000 for something that really should be a safety recall. I am not the only person experiencing this problem. I've done some research and found that there is currently a lawsuit going on about this problem. This problem needs to be fixed immediately.

I purchased a used lexus 2004 rx 330 from a lexus dealership and a 4 months after I noticed a large amount of condensation in the drivers front headlight1 month later while driving at night the 1 headlight went out completely and I discovered a technical service bulletin issued from lexus but no recall. This is clearly a widespread problem and a safety issue, toyota has yet to fix they want me to pay $500 out of a $1800 repair!
