NHTSA Complaint #10433975 — 2000 LEXUS RX300

I PURCHASED MY VEHICLE (2000 LEXUS RX 300) IN 2004 WITH LESS THAN 35,000 AND EVERY YEAR SINCE 2007 I HAVE HAD ISSUES WITH LIGHTING. I HAVE HAD THE PARK LIGHT, BRAKE LIGHT, CENTER STOP LAMP; CENTER BRAKE LIGHT SOCKET AND BULBS ALL REPLACED. THE UNFORTUNATE ISSUE IS THAT THE LIGHTS HAVE TO BE REPLACED EVERY YEAR SOMETIMES TWICE A YEAR BECAUSE THEY CONTINUE TO MALFUNCTION. I ALWAYS TAKE MY VEHICLE TO THE LEXUS OF ORLANDO DEALERSHIP FOR TESTING, SERVICE AND REPAIR BUT THEY OBVIOUSLY NEVER COMPLETELY FIX THIS ISSUE. THE MOST RECENT REPAIR WAS REPLACEMENT OF TH CENTER BRAKE LIGHT SOCKET AND BULB AND RESET ON 4/14/2011 AND IN AUGUST 2011 ON MY WAY TO THE AIRPORT, AN ACCIDENT ALMOST ACCRUED DUE TO MY BREAK LIGHTS FAILING TO COME WHILE MAKING A STOP ON A MAJOR HIGHWAY INTERSECTION. I BELIEVE THE PROBLEM IS ELECTRICAL, LEXUS MECHANIC STATES THE ISSUE STARTED WITH AN UNTRACEABLE PROBLEM IN WHICH THE REAR TAIL BRAKE LIGHT STOPPED WORKING AND LATER ON THE PARK LIGHT AND OTHER LIGHTS THEREAFTER. *TR
