    PASSENGER DOOR LOCK MECHANISM ON MY 1990 LEXUS LS400 HAS FAILED TO THE POINT WHERE DOOR WILL NOT OPEN FROM OUTSIDE NOR INSIDE. LEXUS DEALER WANTS $800 TO FIX THE PROBLEM AND THE POSSIBILITY OF DAMAGING DOOR PANEL AND SCRATCHING WINDOW. THIS IS CLEARLY A SAFETY HAZARD THAT LEXUS (TOYOTA) SHOULD PAY FOR. I HAVE ASKED THEM TO PAY FOR IT THEY REFUSED. I AM ALSO ADDING THE FACT THAT THE DEALERSHIP HAS HAD OTHER LS400'S THAT THEY'VE FIXED FOR THIS SPECIFIC SAFETY PROBLEM.

    INSTRUMENT GAUGE LIGHTING (NEEDLES AND GAUGE FACE) STARTED TO FAIL IN NOV. NOW I HAVE NO GAUGE LIGHTING AT ALL! PANEL IS WHAT I THINK IS CALLED ELECTROLLUMINESCENT. LEXUS WANTS APPROXIMATELY $1500.00 TO FIX. I FEEL THAT THIS IS AN EXTEMELY DANGEROUS SITUATION, SINCE I CAN NOT SEE HOW FAST I AM TRAVELING. I FEEL THAT THE MANUFACTURER SHOULD COVER THE EXPENSE OF REPAIR, AT LEAST PARTIALLY, IF NOT TOTALLY. *AK

    SPEED WAS ABOUT 20-35 MPH. ENGINE RACED AND CAR SURGED FORWARD INTO CAR AH EAD, PUSHING THE CAR AHEAD FORWARD. BRAKING WAS VERY DIFFICULT. THE AIR BAG DID NOT DEPLOY. MY MECHANIC INSPECTED THE CAR AND FOUND THAT THE TRANSMISSION MOUNT BRACKET WAS SHEARED IN TWO WHICH CAUSED THE TRANSMISSION TO SHIFT FORWARD ACCELERATING THE CAR.
