"takata recall" the second day I bought my car it has been giving me problems. I have had to replace my engine/motor not long after I purchased my car. I'm still having the same problems with my car and new motor. It runs hot and I have brought it to 6 different mechanic as well as to the Lexus dealership multiple times and I have had to pay out of pocket for a lot of things. I also went on Lexus.com and found out that my car is a lemon buy back and was never told by the dealership I bought it from or the Lexus dealership in baton rouge Louisiana that it was a lemon. I had to fund out on my own. It very wrong that I bought a car and not told my anyone how the car is a lemon.

My main concern Is that the hid headlights will not work. Initially the problem began on the passenger side headlight. Then I researched the problem and discovered it Is actually extremely common online. In my area many Lexus cars from IS250 to gs have the similar problem. The situation escalated when my driver's side headlight stopped lighting also. This really Is unsettling because I now have extremely low visibility at night and in addition I commute to school through a dark unlighted corner that could lead to a crash if the other car does not see me. I did contact Lexus but their resolution seems rather foul play. Most of their IS250 and gs have the problem but they would fix it only for about 1,000 dollars per headlight. I and multiple other consumers are not just going to pay for the high price for something clearly at Lexus's fault. Along with the headlights my suspension seem increasingly loud and squeaky when I make a turn. It Is a luxury car and being it I believe the problem should not have occurred. It should be rather quiet. I truly, am a displeased customer and I feel that Lexus Is very unresponsive toward their problems.
