| 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, break light, center stop lamp; center break 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. | |||

| The moon roof motor has two functions, tilting open and sliding the entire glass panel open. when i attempted to use the slide panel open function, the panel did slide open, however it was much slower than normal operation and was accompanied by a grinding/clicking noise which never accompanied previous operation. an attempt to close the roof panel yielded an identical result. i then attempted to operate the tilt feature of the roof, which was also slow and accompanied by the previously mentioned noises. attempting to close the roof resulted in no movement of the roof panel and a grating sound from the electric motor. activating the switch while subsequently pushing down on the roof panel caused it to return to the closed position. i am now unable to open the roof due to fear of it being stuck in the open position and a subsequent accident in which the roof of the vehicle will bow and cause severe injury to passengers because the vehicle has posted warnings in the passenger compartment of its higher propensity to rollover in accidents or high speed maneuvers than average vehicles. | |||
