Consumer Description

WHEN THE VEHICLE IS COLD, THE INSTRUMENT PANEL DOES NOT LIGHT UP. IT TAKES ABOUT AN HOUR OF DRIVING TO "WARM UP" THE DASHBOARD AND WILL EVENTUALLY FLICKER. THIS HAPPENS CONSTANTLY AND SEEMS TO BE AN ISSUE WITH ALL LEXUS LS400S. I AM ALSO HAVING AN ISSUE WITH THE POWER STEERING LEAKING. THE LEAKAGE HAS CAUSED MY ALTERNATOR TO GO BAD. I HAVE SINCE REPLACED THE ALTERNATOR, STEERING PUMP AND STEERING RACK. THE ISSUE ALSO SEEMS TO BE FOR ALL LEXUS LS400S. *TR
