EXTERIOR LIGHTING:HEADLIGHTS

those focused headlights, often with a blue tint, are dangerous to drivers who can be temporarily blinded by their extreme brightness. the situation is made worse in wet conditions when reflections intensify the problem. also, drivers who wear eyeglasses (including me), have even more significant problems in regaining vision after being blinded by oncoming vehicle with these focused headlights. growing use of the headlights by automakers is quickly spreading this dangerous situation. this is not a complaint about my vehicle. i believe the vehicle info provided below is the type that uses these headlights. a number a manufacturers use these headlights now, also bmw, cadillac, infiniti among others.*jb

problem with sudden acceleration with 2006 lexus rx330. i had cruise control set at 65mph with my foot off pedal and then the vehicle suddenly accelerated to 90 and going faster in a split second. i hit the brakes and luckily the vehicle slowed down. my whole family was in the car and were all terrified. i called the dealer, lexus of westminster, next day to report the problem. the service technician simply ignored my claim and indifferently told me that he never heard of such problem and bring my car if it happens again in the future. he did not offer to check it out and i stopped using cruise control of that vehicle. it was a lease and car was returned last year. when i heard this news about acceleration problem with toyota vehicle recently, i got concerned about safety of current owner of the vehicle whoever it may be.

i was on interstate 5 on may 25, 2009 (memorial day) at the speed of 75-80 mph with my whole family in the car. the car's model is lexus rx330,2006 model. while i was driving on the leftmost lane, my left wheel went a little bit on the rumble strip. i tried to pull my car back on the lane. it is here that the problem started. my steering started to shake and vibrate and the car stopped to accelerate. when all the cars were going at such a high speed there was nothing i could do. i was unable to steer the car as well as accelerate or even brake for quite a while. then i tried braking many times and could finally park the car in the emergency in the left lane shoulder. after that we tried calling all the numbers given in the lexus handbook but no one picked up the phone to help us. after waiting for half an hour or so, my husband collected all his guts and drove the car to nearest gas station. we check the tires and all the pressures etc. but everything looked fine.

i have a 2006 lexus rx330 that i'm afraid to use the cruise control on any surface that is not flat and dry. when i come up to a small incline and the speed goes below my cruise speed it all of the sudden picks up speed real quick. it's like if i had just stomped on the gas peddle all the way to the floor. once speed cruise speed is attained it goes back to normal. i have never had a car do this. at times it's scary, that is why i stopped using this feature. this has happened many, many times. the date i put in is the last time i used the cruise control on that vehicle. *dt

VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL

on november 9, 2010 i experienced sudden unintended acceleration in my 2006 lexus rx330. i made a u-turn from a parking lot into a parking place in front of a preschool adjacent to the parking lot. my foot was covering the brake as i coasted into the driveway at approx. 5 mph. as soon my front tires crossed the threshold of the driveway, the car surged forward as if the accelerator had been pushed to the floor. because my foot was covering the brake at the time, i was able to stop before hitting a post and the preschool playground fence. i contacted lexus and had the car towed to the dealership because i felt it was not safe to drive. at the dealership, they interviewed me and said they would inspect the car. i was called the following day and told they had "good news", there was nothing wrong with my car. i refused to pick up my car because i felt it was not safe to drive. i asked what my recourse was, and i was given the number for customer relations. i contacted customer relations, and i was told they checked with the dealer and my car is safe and nothing is wrong with it. i asked if they would replace the acceleration system and was told "no". i asked if they would buy back the car, and they responded "that is possible, but it would take 6-8 weeks before they could let me know". i felt that was unacceptable because i am complaining of a safety issue. i was given no other option. i went online and was able to contact a plant manager in the mid-west. he put me in touch with someone who works for the chief quality officer of toyota. she then put me in touch with someone from corporate customer relations. to date,there has been no resolution, and my car remains at the dealership. i am additionally concerned because i bought a certified pre-owned car. under their current system, i cannot be assured that the previous owner of my car did not also experience sua and was told, "there is nothing wrong", so the car got traded in and resold to me.

while driving at highway speed the left rear quarter window molding came flying off my lexus 2006 rx-330. made a flapping noise previous to coming off. checked on the web @ clublexus .com and found this to be a problem with a lot of other rx owners. if you are in warranty, no problem, but out of warranty like i am. problem is that lexus does not sell just the molding, you have to buy the entire window. the molding is on double stick tape onto the window rubber seal. lexus p/n 62730-48230.

EXTERIOR LIGHTING

purchased a certified used rx330 and one week later noticed condensation inside headlight lenses after driving in rain or washing the vehicle that takes several days to clear out causing severe reduced visibility when driving at night. the condensation is an obvious safety problem but the lexus dealer said it is not covered under warranty or any recall. i think lexus should take care of such an important safety concern as lighting the highway ahead.

EXTERIOR LIGHTING

my left front headlight had condensation due to the manufacturer not sealing the light correctly, lexus was aware of this problem and fixed the left one while it was still under warranty. now my right one has rust inside of it which has blown out one bulb..i contacted lexus corporate who agreed to pay half of the $1800.00 it cost to repair it. in addition to the front lights, now my rear lights actually have bugs inside of them which in turn will cause the bulbs to blow as well. i spoke with a dealership who acknowledged lexus is aware that this model had the problem that is why they no longer make those lights. this is not only a safety hazard, but a manufacturer defect and one that should be recalled. lexus will do nothing because my warranty has expired. does someone need to get hurt, hit a deer,child, pedestrian or cause an accident before lexus takes care of an issue that they are very aware of? with the amount of money that lexus charges for their vehicles one would assume that they would rectify this situation..

child was restrained in carseat using latches. she grabbed the nearby seatbelt while seated in the rear seat drivers's side. she was not using the seatbelt (it was not buckled) because she was in a latched carseat. she managed to wrap the seatbelt around her neck. when i (parent) attempted to free the seatbelt from around her neck it locked and tightened. i was not able to loosen it enough to remove it because it would not "unlock". the more i attempted to loosen it or "unlock" it the tighter it became and i had no choice but to cut the seatbelt from around my child's neck or she would have choked. the seatbelt will have to be replaced.

this is an ongoing problem with the lexus rx models caused by moisture and condensation forming inside the headlight there has been a lexus tsb regarding this however dealers apparently are free to decide if they rectified it or not. the computer module in the headlight is damaged by the condensation leading to a repair costing almost $3,000 the part alone being $1,900. mine ultimately failed at about 54800 miles though it was reported to dealer as a condensation when the dealer chose to do nothing about. this is a known issue with the lexus rx so much so it has created a whole sub-market in buying the faulty ones removed by lexus refurbishing and reselling even those are selling for $1,100 if you can even find one. known manufacturing defect, tsb issued by lexus, lexus will not address if failure ultimately occurs at 48,000 miles if at all, headlight fails, consumer safety at risk, repair requires total replacement of headlight, seal fails, ballust computer fails, headlight does not function, no lighting when driving, lexus had complete knowledge of the defect, lexus did not uniformly correct the manufacturing defect to date.
