MY DASHBOARD LIGHTS STARTED TO GO OUT ON MY LEXUS LS400. INITIALLY THE LIGHTS WOULD NOT TURN ON WHILE THE WEATHER WAS COLD AND AFTER A FEW MONTHS THE LIGHTS WOULD NOT TURN ON AT ALL. I HAVE SEEN SIMILAR COMPLAINTS ON THE INTERNET AND WONDER WHY THERE HAS NOT BEEN A RECALL YET. THIS HAS TO BE A SAFETY HAZARD, NOT KNOWING YOUR SPEED AND ALSO NOT KNOWING HOW MUCH GAS YOU HAVE SEEMS TO BE A PROBLEM. *TR - Oct 1, 2006 · 100,000 milesElectrical system › Instrument cluster/panel
RECURRING PROBLEM WITH THE 1994 LEXUS LS 400. WHEN OUTSIDE TEMPERATURE DROPPED BELOW 50 DEGREES FAHRENHEIT THE INSTRUMENT PANEL LIGHTS AND GAUGES CEASED OPERATING FOR A PERIOD OF 15 TO 30 MINUTES , UNTIL THE ENGINE AND /OR INTERIOR TEMPERATURE WARMED SUFFICIENTLY. LEXUS DEALERSHIP QUOTED $1200 TO REPAIR AN OBVIOUS MANUFACTURING DEFECT. THIS WAS APPARENTLY A VERY WIDESPREAD PROBLEM. CAN VBE ERIFIED BY GOOGLING LEXUS INTRUMENT CLUSTER REPAIR AND REFER TO THE CLUBLEXUS WEB SITE.*AK - Aug 1, 2006 · 162,700 milesElectrical system › Instrument cluster/panel
