My 2013 lexus awd rx 350 has a faulty wire harness which has shorted out its GPS navigation system, radio, and media center. I replaced the headlamp on the passengers side and the blast, but the 15 amp fuse continues to blow out. Therefore, the faulty wire harness has caused my headlights, GPS navigation system, and radio to no longer work.

Several ecus failed simultaneously. Car would not start, steering locked. Luckily, my car was parked so I did not loose steering while moving.
Door lock assembly went bad in driver's side door. Door cannot be locked using door lock button and has to be locked manually. Door also does not lock using remote or keyless entry. Mechanic stated that he's seen a number of these problems.
The door lock accuator on the driver's side is inoperable.I have to manually lock the driver side door then open the passenger door and lean into the car and reach over to unlock the driver side door each time I need to open the door. Cost to repair is $600.00 (parts & labor) I feel this is excessive as the vehicle is only 5 years old and has only 55,500 miles! Parts dealer noted he keeps the part stocked on his shelf as it is frequently requested.
Driving down I-85s in between moreland and grantville, ga my car made a thump sound and then cutoff. I pull the car to the side of the interstate to see why it cut off. I exited the car with my passengers and we noticed smoke from the engine area. The next thing we notice is that the car caught fire and went up in flames.
