Exterior Lighting

Filed Feb 10, 201938,500 milesNV

WHILE DRIVING AT A SNOW STORM (LAKE TAHOE AREA, HWY 50), I HAD TO STOP EVERY 10-15 MINUTES TO CLEAR MY HEADLIGHTS, WHICH WERE ALMOST COMPLETELY COVERED BY SNOW. IT WAS VERY DANGEROUS. ALMOST ZERO VISIBILITY, NOWHERE TO STOP SAFELY... LED HEADLIGHTS DO NO PRODUCE ENOUGH HEAT TO MELT THE SNOW. LEXUS PROBABLY FIXED IT AT 2018/2019 MODEL YEARS AND USED HEATING AT THE HEADLIGHTS. BUT OLDER MODEL YEARS (2016, MAYBE ALSO 2017) ARE VERY DANGEROUS WHILE DRIVING AT SNOW.

Reading this record

No unusual pattern of severe incidents in the complaint record.

Complaint counts track how many cars were sold and how long they have been on the road as much as they track quality. A common model from 2013 has had a decade to accumulate reports; a rare one from last year has not. The signal worth weighing is in the severity columns, in whether the same component keeps appearing, and in whether the manufacturer eventually opened a recall for it.

Recall repairs are free for as long as the recall stands. Check whether a specific car still has open work at NHTSA's VIN lookup.
