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
