| Was Vehicle Towed: - | Description of the Complaints: The instrument panel gauge lights on my 1992 sc40 began going bad at around 75,000 miles [1999]. by 95,000 miles 50% of lights are out. by design the panel/needles must be replaced which is a very expensive procedure. i have been putting it off because my wife usually only drives the sc400 during the daylight hours, but now my son would like to take it over and the problem of safety during night driving comes into play. toyota/lexus should be ashamed of building such a great car with a monumental flaw such as this. i am not the only owner with this problem nor is it restricted to the lexus brand of the parent toyota motor company. *jb |
