BRIDGESTONES PONTANZA TIRES SIZE (245-45-18) TIRES HAVE FALLEN APART TWICE , MEAING TWO DIFFERENT SET OF TIRES HAVE LARGE BLOW OUTS ON THE SIDES . HAVE TAKING THEM TO FIRESTONE TO BE REPLACED BOTH TIMES AND EXPLAINED A RECALL NEED TO BE DONE BEFORE SOMEONE IS KILLED AND THEY JUST SHRUG IT OFF. CAR WAS SITTING BOTH TIME IN DRIVE WAY AND NOTICE FLAT TIRES. WENT TO CHANGE THEM OUT AN NOTICED LARGE HOLES.

I ALSO HAVE A HEADLIGHT THAT HAS INTERMITTENTLY NOT WORKED. I RUN MY LIGHTS ON THE AUTO FEATURE. IN THE LAST 6 MONTHS, I HAVE NOTED THAT THE LEFT HEADLIGHT ONLY TURNS ON SOME OF THE TIME. I NEED TO CHECK IT, TURN THE LIGHTS OFF, THEN BACK ON TO GET IT TO WORK. HAPPENS ABOUT 20% OF THE TIME AND IS A SAFETY ISSUE. ABOUT 3 YEARS AGO, SOMEONE FOLLOWED ME INTO A STORE AND TOLD ME THAT MY LEFT HEADLIGHT WAS OUT. WHEN I LEFT AND TURNED THE CAR ON, THEN CHECKED THE HEADLIGHTS, THEY WERE WORKING. I NOW REALIZE THAT THIS IS WHEN IT STARTED.

I HAVE A PROBLEM WITH A HEAD LIGHT GOING OUT INTERMITTENTLY, AND OCCASIONALLY BOTH BULBS AND WHAT APPEARS TO BE THE BACK BULBS TOO GO OUT LEAVING MY CAR COMPLETELY DARK, INTERIOR LIGHTS ARE SOMETIMES INCLUDED. A QUICK OFF/ON OF THE LIGHT SWITCH AND THE LIGHTS ARE BACK TO NORMAL. I WILL INTERMITTENTLY TURN MY LIGHTS OFF THEN BACK ON SO I CAN CONTROL THE DARKNESS. I LOVE MY LEXUS, BUT FEEL VERY UNSAFE IN IT, AS THE LIGHTS COULD GO DARK AND I CAN'T RESPOND QUICK ENOUGH OR ONCOMING TRAFFIC WILL NOT SEE ME AROUND A CURVE. I TOOK THE CAR IN A COUPLE OF YEARS AGO TO MY LEXUS DEALER, TOM WILLIAMS, AND THEY TOLD ME THE CAR BATTERY WAS WEAK AND CAUSING THE PROBLEM, SHORTLY THEREAFTER I DID REPLACE THE BATTERY, BUT THAT DID NOT SOLVE THE PROBLEM. WHEN I BRING IT TO LEXUS, THEY ONLY TEST IT DURING THE DAY. STILL DON'T KNOW WHAT THE PROBLEM IS. I RECENTLY HAD THE CAR IN FOR THE FUEL SYSTEM RECALL AND THEY RECHECKED AND SAID AGAIN THEY COULD NOT REPRODUCE THE PROBLEM, I FELT LIKE THEY WERE TELLING ME I WAS LYING. THE MOST RECENT INCIDENT OCCURRED WITH 102,000 MILES ON IT, BUT IT HAS BEEN HAPPENING FOR SEVERAL YEARS SINCE ABOUT 60,000 MILES
