What owners wrote
The hid lighting system on the vehicle is aimed considerably low providing for extremely poor front illumination. The dealer claims that the lights are adjusted as high as lexus allows. The only way to adequately see pedestrians, etc. At night is to drive with the high beams activated which is extremely distracting to other drivers. I have driven vehicles with hid/xenon lights for over 5 years and appreciate and understand how they should operate. The leveling system on this vehicle clearly has a problem.
Driver side headlight continues to go out while driving at night. Rattling noise when car starts up. Truck won't release from key or from truck release inside car.
