Tl* the contact owns a 2008 lexus rx350. while driving 65 mph, the headlights failed and impaired the driver's vision. the headlight warning indicator illuminated. the vehicle was taken to lexus of cherry hill (1230 route 73 south, mount laurel, nj 08054, (856) 393-4583) where the failure was diagnosed, but the contact was unaware of the diagnosis. the vehicle was not repaired. the manufacturer was made aware of the failure and provided no assistance. the failure mileage was 117,000.

The drivers side headlight, has consistently filled up with water, via washing the car, raining, etc., causing it to fog up. this is ridiculous, and to go get it fixed, they want an arm and a let, the car is in beautiful condition, why not honor this by fixing it, you've had other complaints! my daughter just purchased a 2015, this is our 3rd lexus, we love the cars, now why don't you fix what is wrong, i can't go around with a headlight that is not damaged and i've been told by lexus, "ah yes, we've had complaints but that's the way it goes?", keep it up, i'll buy a different car next time! and so will family members!

I have a lexus rx350 2008 with moisture in the passenger side headlight, no more warranty (55,000) and is blocking the light, went to the dealer and cost too much to repair. *tr

Moisture/condensation in headlamp due to manufacture defect( known for several years by toyota). dealer claims not under warranty (cosmetic). it is a hazard as whole system can fail at any time (night) many complaints filed and no action to correct the problem by toyota. it is my understanding that only a lexus/toyota dealer can install replacements at a high cost to consumer ( $1500 ). the moisture buildup is presently on the drivers side, however when the other fails...and how many times this may happen without a true "fix". *tr

This is a complaint on the dim, weak back-up lights in the 2008 lexus rx-350. *cn
