Consumer Description

CONDENSATION BUILDUP HAS FORMED FROM THE INTERIOR OF THE DRIVER/PASSENGER HEADLIGHTS. THIS IS DUE TO A MANUFACTURER DESIGN FLAW OF THE HEADLIGHT SEAL WHICH ALLOWS WATER TO PENETRATE THE HEADLIGHT HOUSING. WATER DAMAGE HAS CAUSED THE LOWBEAM LIGHTS TO FAIL. LEXUS HAS QUOTED OVER $1400 FOR REPLACEMENTS, AND FAILS TO ACKNOWLEDGE THEIR DESIGN FLAW. IMPACTED VISIBILITY WHILE DRIVING WILL LEAD TO AN ACCIDENT. *TR
