2004 LEXUS RX Exterior Lighting Problems

Power steering very stiff and difficult to steer vsc light on and air bags light goes on and off and unknown cause.

DURING NIGHT DRIVING, THE HEADLIGHTS RANDOMLY GO OFF. I HAVE TO SWITCH THEM OFF AND THEN ON AGAIN. IN A FEW MINUTES I HAVE TO REPEAT. THE BULBS ARE NOT BLOWN BECAUSE WHEN I SWITCH THEM ON, BOTH LAMPS COME ON. HAVING TO CONSTANTLY TURN THEM OFF AND ON DURING DRIVING. IT SEEMS TO BE GETTING WORSE. I WORK NIGHTS AND THIS IS GETTING TO BE A BURDEN. OF COURSE, I DON'T KNOW WHAT CAUSES THIS TO HAPPEN SO I TOOK IT TO GET IT REPAIRED AND THEY TOLD ME THERE WAS A RECALL FOR THE HEAD LIGHTS. UNFORTUNATELY, I DON'T HAVE THE RECALL NUMBER. I BELIEVE THIS IS A SAFETY RISK BECAUSE THEY GO OFF RANDOMLY WHILE I'M DRIVING.

MY LEFT HEADLIGHT WENT OUT WHILE DRIVING AND I FOUND WATER AND CONDENSATION IN HEADLIGHT ASSEMBLY COMPARTMENT. ENTIRE COMPARTMENT NEEDS TO BE REPLACED AT COST OF $1650.00. *TR IN RESEARCHING THIS MAKE AND MODEL HAS OTHER CONSUMERS EXPERIENCING THE SAME ISSUE. I BELIEVE THIS IS MANUFACTURER DEFECT THAT HAS CAUSED SEALS TO MALFUNCTION ALLOWING EXCESSIVE WATER INTO THE LIGHT COMPARTMENT WHICH CAUSES ALL ELECTRICAL COMPONENTS TO FAIL.

DT*: THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE EXTERIOR HEADLIGHTS WOULD NOT ILLUMINATE FAR ENOUGH WHILE DRIVING IN THE EVENING AT A SPEED OF 70 MPH. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALERS WHO ADJUSTED THE HEADLIGHTS BUT WERE UNABLE TO DETERMINE THE CAUSE OF THE PROBLEM. THE VEHICLE IS STILL EXPERIENCING THE SAME PROBLEMS.
