2005 Lexus RX330 exterior lighting problems

“HEADLIGHT LOWBEAM FAILURE DUE TO EXCESS WATER CONDENSATION INSIDE LIGHT ASSEMBLY. IT IS A MANUFACTURING DEFECT THAT LEXUS HAS KEPT SECRET THROUGHOUT THE YEARS. INSTEAD IF ISSUING AN EXPENSIVE RECALL ON ALL THE YEARS AFFECTED, THEY SIMPLY FIXED AS THE CARS CAME IN WITH THE PROBLEM. THEY KNOW THAT IT IS CHEAPER FOR THEM TO DO SO IN THAT MANNER BECAUSE MOST LEXUS OWNERS GARAGE THEIR VEHICLES AND WONT HAVE THE FAILURE UNTILL IT IS TOO LATE. THEIR PROGRAM TO FIX THE PROBLEM ENDS WITHIN A 10 YEAR PERIOD. CAN YOU INVESTIGATE AND FORCE LEXUS TO ISSUE A RECALL ON ALL CARS AFFECTED REGARDLESS AGE OR OWNERSHIP. MY LIGHTS FAILED DURING THE RAIN AT NIGHTWHILE GOING HOME. IT REALLY IS A VERY IMPORTANT SAFETY ISSUE.”

LEXUS CORPORATION REFUSES TO TAKE RESPONSIBILITY FOR AN OBVIOUS DESIGN FLAW. [XXX] *TR”
