2007 LEXUS IS Complaints

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.

THE AIRBAG WARNING LIGHT CAME OFF AND ON 3 YEARS OR SO AGO WHEN I HAD STARTED THE CAR AND SOMETIMES WHILE DRIVING. WHEN I BROUGHT THE CAR IN TO THE DEALER THE WARNING LIGHT WAS OFF, AND THE DEALER CHECKED BUT SAID THEY COULD NOT FIND THE CODE. AT THE TIME MY CAR WAS STILL UNDER EXTENDED WARRANTY. NOW THE LIGHT HAS COME ON AGAIN JUST AS I WAS DRIVING OUT AFTER THE CAR WAS SERVICED BY THE SAME DEALER. THEY CHECKED THE CODE AND SAID I NEEDED TO REPLACE THE AIRBAG WIRING HARNESS FOR $2,798. THE DEALER OFFERED TO PAY HALF OF THE COST SINCE I AM NO LONGER COVERED BY THE EXTENDED WARRANTY BUT SINCE THIS ISSUE CAUSES THE AIRBAG TO NOT DEPLOY IN CASE OF AN ACCIDENT I FEEL THAT THE FULL COST SHOULD BE COVERED BY LEXUS, AND A RECALL DONE FOR ALL THE MODELS AFFECTED...UPDATED 12/03/15*BF THE CONSUMER STATED THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER PAID FOR THE PARTS WHILE THE CONSUMER PAID FOR LABOR. *JS

I PURCHASED MY 2007 LEXUS IS 250 IN 2010. OVER THE LAST YEAR THE DASHBOARD HAS MELTED TO THE POINT TO WHERE IT IS UNTOUCHABLE AND OBSTRUCTS THE VISION IN MY VIEW FROM THE SUN GLARING AGAINST THE MELTED DASH. MY DOOR ARE ALSO SOFT AND CRUMBLE TO THE TOUCH OF FINGERNAILS, KEYS, RUBBING OF ANY KIND. I HAVE CONTACTED LEXUS AND WAS TOLD I WILL BE PUT ON THE LIST FOR RECALL BUT THEY CANNOT GIVE ME A TIME FRAME OF WHEN THE RECALL WILL TAKE PLACE. WHEN I DRIVE, I CAN BARELY SEE THE THE GLARE IT CAUSES IN MY VIEW OF THE WINDSHIELD SO IT IS VERY DANGEROUS AT THIS POINT. IT IS ALSO IMPOSSIBLE TO CLEAN, TOWELS AND PAPER TOWELS WILL STICK TO THE DASH INTO THE GLUEY SUBSTANCE.

THIS VEHICLE WENT INTO THE LEXUS DEALERSHIP FOR A RECALL ON THE FUEL SYSTEM. AFTER RECEIVING IT BACK FROM THE DEALERSHIP, THE VEHICLE SHUTS OFF COMPLETELY WITHOUT NOTICE. THE VEHICLE HAS BEEN BACK TO THE DEALERSHIP FOR REPAIRS AND EACH TIME IT IS RETURNS, WITHIN A WEEK THE VEHICLE SHUTS DOWN. AS OF OCTOBER, THE DEALERSHIP HAS RECEIVED ALMOST $8000.00 FOR REPAIRS. THIS VEHICLE IS BECOMING A DEATH TRAP. IT WOULD SHUT DOWN AFTER STOPPING AT A STOP LIGHT OR STOP SIGN, BUT THE LAST TWO TIMES, IT HAS SHUT OFF WHILE DRIVING. ONCE ON THE INTERSTATE. WE ARE ASKING THAT SOMETHING BE DONE IMMEDIATELY, THIS CAR IS UNSAFE TO DRIVE AND THE DEALERSHIP CONTINUES TO FIND OTHER ISSUES TO MAKE MONEY, BUT HAS FAILED TO REPAIR THE ISSUE CAUSED BY THE RECALL REPAIR. LEXUS HEADQUARTERS HAS BEEN NOTIFIED. THE MARYLAND ATTORNEY GENERAL HAS BEEN REQUESTED TO INTERVENE AND ASSIST US WITH THIS ISSUE. YOUR HELP WOULD TRULY BE APPRECIATED.

THE FRONT DASHBOARD IS MELTING FROM THE SUN ALSO THE DOOR HANDLES ARE BREAKING IN PIECES.ITS THERE A RE-CALL ON THIS PARTICULAR SITUATION.ALSO THE DASHBOARD AND THE DOORS ARE VERY STICKY.

THE DASHBOARD ON THE CAR IS MELTED. THE MELTED SURFACE REFLECTS THE SUNLIGHT AND CAUSES A GLARE DIRECTLY INTO THE DRIVER'S EYES WHILE DRIVING. THE EFFECTS OF MELTED RUBBER ON THE AIR INSIDE THE CABIN IS UNKNOWN, BUT WORRISOME.

MY HUSBAND WAS DRIVING ON I 295 IN MARYLAND, WHEN THE CAR SUDDENLY SHUTDOWN. HE STATED HE WAS GOING APPROXIMATELY 55 MILES PER HOUR AND WAS FORTUNATE ENOUGH TO BE ABLE TO MANEUVER FROM THE MIDDLE LANE TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. THIS IS NOT THE FIRST TIME THE VEHICLE SHUTDOWN COMPLETELY. THE PREVIOUS INCIDENTS OCCURRED AFTER STOPPING AT A STOP SIGN OR SIGNAL. THE VEHICLE HAS BEEN TO THE LEXUS DEALERSHIP IN MARYLAND FOR REPAIRS, BUT EACH TIME(AT LEAST 4 NOW) WITHIN A 6-7 DAYS, THE VEHICLE SHUTS DOWN. THESE INCIDENTS DID NOT START UNTIL AFTER THE DEALERSHIP TOOK CARE OF THE FUEL RECALL, APRIL OF 2015.

THERE IS AN ELECTRONIC COMPUTER THAT CONTROLS THE ABS BRAKES ON TOYOTA/LEXUS AND IF IT GOES BAD IT CAN CAUSE YOU TO LOSE YOUR BRAKES! MY WIFE AND I ALMOST CRASHED! WHEN THE BRAKES WENT OUT, THEY FELT SQUISHY AND CHECK ENGINE LIGHT, VSC, LIGHTS WENT ON. THEN THE BRAKES GOT REAL SENSITIVE, I EITHER GOT IT TO COME TO SCREECHING STOP IN TRAFFIC OR BARELY COME INCHES FROM REAR ENDING THE CAR IN FRONT OF US.

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 .
