Lexus headlight problems

Owners have filed 410 complaints with NHTSA about the lighting on Lexus vehicles — 3% of everything reported about the brand, across 45 models. The model that accounts for most of them is the Lexus RX330, worst in 2005.

These are raw counts. A model that sold in millions appears near the top for that reason alone — the grade never compares one model with another.
