HOOD HAS COMPLETELY FADED. ACCORDING TO BODY SHOPS, MUST BE A DEFICIT. GLOSS ON TOP OF HOOD COMPLETELY GONE. CAR WAS ONLY 3 YEARS OLD. THIS SHOULD NOT HAPPEN TO A LEXUS. *TR

WITHIN HAVING MY BRAND NEW LEXUS A FEW YEARS, THE SEATS STARTED COMING APART. I TOOK THE VEHICLE TO LEXUS, THEY TOLD ME MY WARRANTY DOES NOT COVE COSMETICS. I TOLD THEM FOR THE COST OF THE VEHICLE MY SEATS SHOULD NOT BE DETERIORATING THIS SOON. YOU CAN SEE THE COTTON STUFFING THROUGH THE SEATS. MY DASHBOARD IS ALSO MELTING. IT IS STICKY AND NASTY FEELING. IT LOOKS LIKE SOMEONE HAS STUCK HOLES IN IT. IT IS GROSS. I FEEL ASHAMED IN DRIVING THIS CAR. *TR

I HAVE A CURVED MIRROR ON THE PASSENGER SIDE OF THE AUTO. THE MIRROR IS DISTORTED. THE OBJECTS IN THE MIRROR ARE CLOSER THAN THEY APPEAR. IT IS DANGEROUS AND MISLEADING. IT CAUSES BACKING UP AND LANE CHANGE ACCIDENTS I JUST RECEIVED A NEW PATENT THAT USES A FLAT MIRROR ON BOTH SIDES OF THE VEHICLE. IT IS CALLED THE "SEE MORE SWITCH" IT IS AN " AUTOMOTIVE SIDE MIRROR CONTROL SYSTEM" WITH NO BLIND SPOTS (PERFECT VIEW) THIS SYSTEM IS AUTOMATIC IN DRIVE AND REVERSE. IT IS AVAILABLE FOR SALE OR LEASE

I HAD AN ACCIDENT THAT WAS VERY SEVERE AND AIRBAGS DID NOT DEPLOY. I FILED A COMPLAINT WITH LEXUS AND DID NOT GET A SATISFACTORY ANSWER. I FELT THE IMPACT THROUGH THE STEERING WHEEL. ALL I WANT TO KNOW WHY AIRBAGS DID NOT DEPLOY. PLEASE HELP ME WITH THAT. *TR

DASHBOARD MELT WHEN THE TEMPERATURE REACH 80 DEGREE WHICH IS MOST DAYS OF THE YEAR IN FLORIDA, COUPLE OF MONTH AGO THE MELTING DASHBOARD IS CAUSING A SEVERE GLARE THAT MAKE VISIBILITY DIFFICULT, AS A RESULT IT IS A HAZARD TO DRIVE THIS CAR EVERY DAY OR FOR MORE THAN ONE HOUR AT THE TIME OR THE TEMPERATURE IS 80 DEGREE OR HIGHER. LEXUS REFUSED TO REMEDY THE DEFECT IN THE PAST AND NOW THAT MANY PEOPLE ARE COMPLAINING LEXUS IS SAYING THE DO NOT HAVE ENOUGH PARTS TO REPLACE ALL THE MELTING DASHBOARD. MEANWHILE I CAN BE KILLED IN A CAR ACCIDENT AND LEXUS COULD CARE LESS. I HAVE THREE YOUNG CHILDREN, SAFETY AND VISIBILITY ARE ESSENTIAL TO DRIVE MY CAR. I NO LONGER FEEL SAFE IN MY LEXUS ES350 2007 AND I LOST MY TRUST IN THE BRAND NAME. I NEED YOUR HELP IN REMEDY MY HAZARD/SAFETY ISSUE CAUSED INTESTINALLY BY LEXUS KNOWING FLORIDA HAS A HIGHER TEMPERATURE THAN MOST OTHER STATES. *TR

OIL DUMPED OUT CROSSING A VERY LONG BRIDGE & ENGINE FROZE UP/STEERING HARD TO CONTROL...DUE TO A DEFECTIVE VVTI_OIL HOSE RUPTURING..BOTH LEXUS & TOYOTA WERE AWARE OF THIS PROBLEM & HAD ISSUED A "LIMITED SERVICE CAMPAIGN" THAT ENDED ON MARCH 31, 2013..BOTH REFUSED TO FIX MY CAR THAT WITH RENTAL CARS, COST ME APROX. $7,000.00..THIS WAS A RUBBER HOSE, THAT BOTH MFGS. KNEW ABOUT AND BOTH CO.CONTINUED TO REPLACE THESE FAULTY HOSES, WITH ANOTHER "RUBBER HOSE", EVEN THO' THERE WAS & STILL IS A METAL HOSE THAT IS RECOMMENDED!! I HAD POSTED THIS PROBLEM WITH YA'LL, SHORTLY AFTER, BUT, DO NOT FIND RECORDS OF.. BUT, APPROX. 2 WEEKS AGO, I RECEIVED A NOTIFICATION FROM LEXUS STATING," THEY HAD DECIDED TO RE-OPEN THIS "LIMITED SERVICE CAMPAIGN" TO EXTEND TO DEC. 31, 2021..A DAY TOO LATE & ALOT OF $$$$& TIME SPENT..EVEN THO' LEXUS SAID THEY WOULD CONSIDER REIMBURSEMENT ON CARS, LIKE MINE THAT ALREADY HAD BEEN REPAIRED. LEXUS IS ONLY DOING THIS, AGAIN, BECAUSE I AM 100% SURE THAT ALL THE MANY MANY LEXUS & TOYOTA CAR OWNERS THAT HAD THEIR HOSES REPLACED BACK IN 2013 AND PRIOR ARE NOW EXPERIENCING WHAT I HAD TO GO THRU: ENGINE DIED, ALMOST RAN OFF THE BRIDGE AND SPENT WEEKS WITHOUT A CAR..HAD TO RENT. I ASK FOR YOU TO PLEASE GO BACK AND RESEARCH THIS FAULTY VVTI_OIL HOSE ON BOTH LEXUS & TOYATA CARS..THERE ARE THOUSANDS, ESPECIALLY WITH TOYOTA!!! ALL YOU HAVE TO DO IS GOOGLE VVTI-OIL HOSE AND YOU WILL SEE.. THANK YOU IN ADVANCE!! *TR

DASHBOARD IS MELTING WHICH MAKES IT DIFFICULT TO SEE DUE TO THE GLARE. BUGS AND DIRT ARE NOW STUCK ON THE DASHBOARD THAT YOU CANNOT CLEAN. I NOW HAVE PLASTIC CONTAINERS TO DECREASE THE GLARE. MY LEXUS DEALER WAS TO SEE IF HE COULD GET ME SOME ASSISTANCE ON GETTING THIS FIX IN SEPT. 2013; NO WORD TO-DATE. THIS IS A MAJOR HAZARD BOTH DAY AND NIGHT (GLARE FROM STREET LIGHTS). *TR

MY DASHBOARD HAS BEEN MELTING, STICKY AND PIECES HAVE BEEN FALLING OFF SINCE 2011. I HAVE REPORTED IT TO LEXUS AND THEY SAID NOW THAT MY CAR IS OUT OF WARRANTY THEY WON'T COVER IT, EVEN THOUGH THERE WAS A MEMO RELEASED IN 2010 TO REPLACE DASHBOARDS IF THEY WERE UNDER WARRANTY. MINE WAS NEVER REPLACED AND LEXUS IS CLAIMING THEY HAVE NEVER HEARD OF THIS MEMO. *TR

THE DASHBOARD IS MELTING THIS IS A SAFETY HAZARD BECAUSE OF THE GLARE. I BROUGHT IT TO LEXUS IN VIERA FL AND TWICE THEY SAID THEY WILL DO NOTHING ABOUT IT. *TR
