| Lexus instrument panel lighting failure results in driver's inability to accurately determine vehicle speed. the issue has been ongoing in my 1994 lexus ls400 for several years. the vehicle has approximately 123000 miles and started at approximately 90000. in colder weather especially, the dashboard readout is invisible for approximately thirty minutes. when the passenger compartment is sufficiently warm they do function properly. this is a hazardous condition. toyota motor company refuses to recognize the defective nature of their product and wants approximately 1200.00 to replace their defective part. there are thousands of consumers with exactly the same issue i've described on various lexus owners websites. it is a safety issue and should result in a vehicle recall to correct the matter. *tr | |||

| I 'm the owner of a 1994 lexus ls 400. the reason i am placing this complaint is because i have been doing constant research on the reason or/s my instrument cluster has gone out. i'm very shocked to find out that a company who prides themselves on the pursuit of perfection hasn't address this issue as an recall.it is very dangerous for me and my family to travel and have to worry about not being able to determine the speed, gas consumption level or any other warning indicator lights to give us ongoing knowledge of the vehicle in operation. because the expense of having this replace is est. at $1200 this is a very big inconvenience. not to say putting my family at risk. i have truly enjoy driving my lexus and would like to continue enjoying driving it, i would hope lexus would be very concerned about the safety of their customers and their families when they operate their vehicles on these highways.this has discouraged me to even purchase another lexus because of fear that another issue like this will not be address in a recall for consumer safety.*cn | |||
