Hello, first the headlights auto adjust low. they state its normal and i took the car to dealer a least 13 times for headlights pointing low and only gives about 3 or 4 ft on light beyond good. now warranty expired. they didn't nothing. rear view mirror faded it's not safe to use it. dealer knows about the problem but wants me to 1300$ for new mirror. front bushing system failed completely. i took it to 3 repair shops and all stated as know problem, they quoted 2000$ for repair because lexus will not and don't sell only bushings. you have to buy all new complete arm controls. last item, the hood started to rust from under the paint without any chips. the rust starts a bubble then chips open. all these complaints are listed lexus forums all over google. very easy to find and verify. i have cars over 25years old never had a rear view mirror fade to the point it's unsafe to use. backing out of drives. our kids and neighbors must be safe. head lights that are unsafe , scary stuff and no ones forces lexus to fix these. god bless and thank you!
I was driving west on the interstate from albuquerque to grant, nm at 75 mph in the left lane passing many trucks on the road. there was road repair up ahead and the speed limit was reduced to 65, so i slowed to 65. a truck came up on my inside (right) lane at excess speed and swerved into my left lane to pass the truck i was about to pass. i was forced off the road. the drive must have known i was in the lane, so the incident was deliberate. the truck was marked "iwx." i have notified the trucking company several times but no response. vin # was 12h98808. cab @ was 3758. there was a decal on the driver side of the cab which said "beware of dog" depicting a vicious dog with an arm in its mouth.
