2007 LEXUS IS 250 Complaints

MY 2007 LEXUS IS250 AWD HAS STARTED HAVING COMPLETE HEADLIGHT FAILURES THAT CAN BE SIMPLY CORRECTED BY TURNING THE LIGHTS OFF AND BACK ON. THESE FAILURES CAN HAPPEN ANYTIME WHILE DRIVING OR AT REST. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 LEXUS IS250. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING 60 MPH THE HEADLIGHTS TURNED OFF INDEPENDENTLY WITHOUT ANY WARNINGS. THE CONTACT MENTIONED HE HAD TO PARK AND RESTART THE VEHICLE TO GET THE LIGHTS TO TURN ON. THE FAILURE RECURRED NUMEROUS TIMES. THE VEHICLE WAS AWAITING DIAGNOSIS. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 100,000 AND THE CURRENT MILEAGES WAS 103,000.

WHILE DRIVING THE HEADLIGHTS ON MY 2007 IS250 WILL JUST GO OFF. MOST OF THE TIME IT IS THE LEFT ONE, OCCASIONALLY THE RIGHT ONE WILL GO OUT. I HAVE TO TURN THE LIGHTS OFF AND RIGHT BACK ON, THEN THEY WILL STAY ON. THIS HAS BEEN HAPPENING INTERMITTENTLY FOR A COUPLE OF YEARS. IT HAPPENS MORE FREQUENTLY NOW, SEVERAL TIMES EACH WEEK. THE DEALER SAYS THAT THE BULB IS GOING OUT AND NEEDS TO BE REPLACED,GOING OUT FOR A COUPLE OF YEARS? REALLY. I WOULD HAVE BELIEVED THAT IF I HAD NOT SEEN SO MANY COMPLAINTS REGARDING THE SAME THING. I WAS TOLD BY THE DEALER THE BULBS WOULD BE REPLACED UNDER THE WARRANTY BUT NOT THE EXTENDED WARRANTY. I HAVE AROUND 45,000 OR 46,000 MILES. *TR

AT APPROXIMATELY 40,000 MI. MY 2007 LEXUS IS 250 DEVELOPED A PROBLEM OF STALLING, SHAKING, MISFIRING AND THE VSC LIGHT, TRACTION SKID LIGHT AND CHECK ENGINE LIGHTS ALL COME ON. THE DEALERSHIP INITIALLY TRIED TO TELL ME THAT THE GAS CAP WAS NOT ON TIGHT (NOT TRUE) AND THEN THEY TRIED TO TELL ME THAT JUST TURNING THE LIGHTS OFF WOULD FIX THE PROBLEM (ALSO NOT TRUE). AFTER I INSISTED THAT THE PROBLEM WAS SERIOUS AND DANGEROUS, THE TECHNICIAN DROVE THE CAR HOME AND HAD THE SAME PROBLEM THAT I HAD BEEN EXPERIENCING. FINALLY, THE DEALERSHIP DECIDED THAT CARBON HAD BUILT UP ON THE VALVES AND THAT WAS CAUSING THE ENGINE TO MISFIRE AND ALL THE LIGHTS TO COME ON. THE DEALERSHIP SENT THE VALVES TO A SHOP AND HAD THEM CLEANED AND GROUND DOWN. THE SERVICE MANAGER TOLD ME THAT THERE WAS A DESIGN FLAW AND THIS IS WHAT LEXUS TOLD THEM TO DO TO FIX IT. NOW, HERE I AM AT 81,000 MILES AND THE SAME THING HAPPENED AGAIN YESTERDAY WITH THE CAR SHAKING, STALLING, MISFIRING AND THE VSC LIGHT, TRACTION SKID LIGHT AND CHECK ENGINE LIGHTS COMING ON. IT HAS BEEN ANOTHER 40,000 MILES AND THE CARBON HAS BUILT UP AGAIN. I HAVE READ ON THE INTERNET THAT MANY OTHER PEOPLE HAVE HAD THE SAME PROBLEM. *TR

THE CAR MAKES A LOT OF CREAKING NOISES AND HAS BEEN TRIED TO BE FIXED SEVERAL TIMES AND NEVER GETS THE PROBLEM SOLVED. NOW CAR CREAKS AND RATTLES AT 10 MPH. SOUND COMING FROM THE A-PILLAR AND WARRANTY DOES NOT COVER. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 LEXUS IS250. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE PASSENGER SIDE HEADLIGHT WOULD FLICKER ON AND OFF BEFORE FINALLY FAILING ALTOGETHER. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER WHO PERFORMED A DIAGNOSTIC THAT LOCATED THE FAILURE AT THE BULB. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 51,000 AND THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 54,000. THE VIN WAS NOT AVAILABLE.

WHILE DRIVING MY VEHICLE MY LIGHTS WILL JUST TURN OFF. SOMETIMES JUST THE LEFT, SOMETIMES JUST THE RIGHT AND SOMETIMES BOTH AT THE SAME TIME. WHEN I TURN THE LIGHT SWITCH OFF AND THEN BACK ON THEY COME BACK ON AND STAY ON. I'VE SEEN NUMEROUS COMPLAINTS. CHANGING THE LIGHTBULBS DOES NOT WORK. *TR

2007 LEXUS IS250 HEADLAMPS SPORADIC INTERMITTENT FAILURE TO STAY ON AND IT CAN ONLY BE REACTIVATED BY TURNING THE INSIDE CABIN HEADLAMP SWITCH ON/OFF TO KEEP IT TO STAY ON FOR AN UNPREDICTABLE SEVERAL MINUTES OF USE. I'VE REPLACED THE XENON BULBS SEVERAL TIMES ALREADY BUT THE FAILURE PERSISTS TO HAPPEN. *TR

BACK UP CAMERA MALFUNCTION SOMETIMES PUT IN REVERSE. THE SCREEN GOES BLANK WITH SOME COLOR LINES GOING ALL OVER THE SCREEN. *TR

MY HEADLIGHTS ON MY 2007 LEXUS IS250 TURN OFF WHILE DRIVING. MY CAR HAS DONE THIS FOR THE PAST 2 YEARS, ANYWHERE FROM ONCE A NIGHT TO 3-5 TIMES IN ONE TRIP. THEY WILL COME BACK ON IF YOU TURN THE LIGHT SWITCH OFF THEN BACK ON. I BROUGHT MY CAR INTO THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY TOLD ME THAT MY BULBS WERE OUT (2 YEARS AGO) AND THEY REPLACED BOTH BULBS FOR ABOUT $650.00. THE LIGHTS CONTINUED TO TURN OFF. I BROUGHT MY CAR AND WAS TOLD THERE WAS NOTHING THEY COULD DO. *TR
